Car insurance - generally cheaper than UK

petrol tax ? not sure what do you mean ? price of petrol is a bit less than the UK

georgeingozo

if you bring your car over, unless you've owned it more than 2 years, you will have to pay a registration tax, from € 100's to € 10,000's - on a 1.1 should be in the 100's
