I'd like to base myself at the Hilton Garden Inn Neckarpark for two nights to visit the Mercedes, Porsche, and Simshein Auto & Technik museums. I plan to get around by train, so regular service to/from Neckarpark would be a big help.
You will be fine. Stuttgart has a very good public transport system through the local VVS. You can check their schedule online at
http://www2.vvs.de/vvs2/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en .
From Neckarpark to Stuttgart main train station takes about 10-15 minutes using Bus 56 and then switching to the S-Bahn. Buses leave every 5-10 minutes.
From the main train station to Sinsheim it takes about 1:15 hours. Check your schedule on
www.bahn.de (switch to English using the flag on the top right of the page).
