Burger here, I've been living in Yurp for a while now but still haven't made it to the UK. As a 'mercan I take it with a grain of salt when Euros tell me transit is "bad" anywhere, but I do hear its supposed to be "bad" outside of London.

Do you guys own cars? Is owning a car necessary to live where you are?

It really depends on your travel plans and needs. If you have time on your side and are mostly just visiting cities then trains and National Express coaches will serve almost as well as a car with a little planning.

If you want to head into the wilds of highland Scotland, then a car will probably be necessary.
