1987 Trabant 601 Delux review from North America
"I think it's a great and fun car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
