1988 Trabant 601 S review from Romania
"The new old brave car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to change the engine once.
The brakes have to be pushed hard until they become active.
The steering is a hazardous part of living.
I have all my respect for the engineers who have worked on it.
General comments?
The car is like an old horse which wants no more than a rest from time to time.
