Summary:
The Trabant is actually a very effective and admirable design of efficiency
Faults:
Nothing has gone wrong with any of my Trabis, which I import into Canada. www.trabant.ca
General Comments:
One person can could lift the motor out of the car themselves, or that one could disassemble a Trabant down to the last screw, and then put it back together in there own garage, and not surprisingly it would work.

Summary:
I think it's a great and fun car to drive
Faults:
On one of my Trabants, the rear axle broke off while I was driving.
I drove for 10 more km like that with no problems. It was an old 1972 Traby. Still runs great.
General Comments:
This car brings a smile to faces around the world, and I will always have a least two of them.

I have a trabant here in Germany, and I love driving it so much. There is never a dull moment, and I've met lots of people as a result of having it. How in the heck are you guys driving them in America? I want to bring mine back, but it looks impossible until it is older than 67.
