It's pretty common to take road tips on holiday say from central Germany, down to Switzerland or over the Alps into Italy etc. You won't need it day to day, but it's not uncommon. Also, the train system is good, but it's pretty expensive and you will have to spend a lot of time transferring if you want to leave the main line cities and get to a village (and there are a LOT of villages). You also have to deal with train delays fairly often (not as common as terrible US train service) bad enough that I often book a seat on multiple trains in case I get in too late to make my original transfer. You can get flex tickets, but those usually double the price. With a car, you also have to deal with construction and accidents etc, but you have the power to adjust routes, or stop at a hotel and start again the next day.
