I went two years without a car. Even in small European cities you can usually walk everywhere you need, or there is sufficient public transport once you get used to it, and as long as you are OK hanging out with the unwashed masses. I just did a year in Chicago without a car and rental electric bikes are an absolute godsend when the weather isn't shit. I can get across the city way faster than any car.
