You should review the impartial and accurate information about Trabant here Because what you say is not true. ; www.adrianflux.co.uk/cult-classics/sixty-years-trabant/

At least a Trabant doesn’t have a constant check engine light on like your rustbucket golf🤷🏻‍♂️

If you're fixing it every two weeks, it means you don't realize there's something wrong with what you're doing. I have friends who have traveled thousands of kilometers or even months and never had a problem.

The Trabant and many other DDR and Soviet vehicles are judged unrelated and make it look like a bad car.Doug reviewed and commented on a lousy Trabant, but that doesn't mean that what's in the best condition is the same as what's in bad shape so far. I didn't see it, I built my own vehicle, everything has been carefully restored and a first-class job created like the original. I feel very comfortable when I sit on the seat, the ride is very comfortable, the suspension is very comfortable, it is really fast despite the engine size and horsepower. It is never smoky and noisy. Even the inside of the trunk is completely covered with felt. There are 3 layers of coating even on the floor. I never compromise on the quality of a Trabant, and when they deliberately study a good example, they will realize how beautiful the Trabant is. I think the Trabant is one of the best cars in the world.

He’s on a spectrum, dude can barely speak. Not sure why people give that clown the time of day

Have you ever owned one? People who have never even drove one can't say such things, so for example cars like wartburg or maybe all the 2 stroke bikes for example tomos wich last for a long time in my country, and i know several people wuth trabant as their daily driver for years and they didnt have any major isuses

@@ilijazivanovic3698 Other than the engine rebuilds, an inherent problem of the 2 stroke 2 cylinder and even the water-cooled 3 cylinder 2 stroke. It wasn't a "maintenance free" car like you are advocating. Don't lie. There was a reason why there was a 4 stroke 3 cylinder replacement motor being worked on by AWE, until the Polo engine made it into the Trabant and Wartburg. Look, I love 2 stroke cars, but lets not act like they are problem free and reliable.

@@radcheckinski6300 Every engine needs mainetance, they were probably thinking about oil changes witch frankly ist that hard nor long.

I have a trabant, and it's not nearly as bad as you say. From the 70s onwards they have a galvanised frame, the duroplast body panels are very strong and always seem to look like they came right out of the factory, the paint is also very good compared to many other cars of the time. The driving position was comparable with other early 60's cars. A porsche from the 50's or early 60's has it's pedals even more annoyingly in towards the center of the car then a trabant. The front seats are alright, but the rear bench is super comfortable with it's coil springs, though a bit short on leg room. The dashboard is terribly cheaply made though, and wobbles a bit with bumps, but it's functional and doesn't seem to crack or fail. The car is "fine" for a simple people's car, simple to work on, ok reliable, I would put it in the same category of cheap peoples cars of the time, like a 2CV, Dyane, or beetle. But in contrast to those cars, the Trabant is still fairly cheap, while those other cars have become way too expensive for a simple cheap peoples car. (also owning a citroen Visa as my daiy driver, the successor of 2CV, I would say the trabant is a bit better in many ways)

Trabant can never be as insecure as a 2cv. Actually you didn't research it well and I think Trabant is among the most reliable cars. Also Trabant is not among the worst cars but among the best German cars because it was a legend that was revealed in the absence. It has served people for years.

Different countries, different opinions. My parents are from the former GDR, and they hate it. They state it´s a horrible car, which breaks down permanently and is also a symbol of oppression.

Try to install turbocharger in it🤣🤣🤣

@John Johnson they put The two stroke Because there are easy ti mantenince not for contamination

@John Johnson jajaja you don't understant The priorities of a socialist economy The most important is making a car that you can repair easy and Fast not a hippie car or a eléctrico shit box that The littium of The batterie pollutes more that The petroleoum

@John Johnson There is not a single city in Europe that has banned two-stroke engines, not a single one! Why would you ruin a classic car by putting some idiotic four-stroke into it.

😊🔆✅

I only get this joke because of Life Of Boris

@@VramanNoodles which means you're cultured, my friend.

And congress never declared war on Vietnam. So technically we never fought a war in Vietnam.

Neither was it a communist but a socialist country, there is a a slight difference. The GDR enjoyed a modest prosperity, it wasn't poverty stricken country, in fact they had a better standard of life than some areas in the UK at the time

Its deliberatly made like that,like a car made by bikers and the car history its linked with aerospace exploration and fighter pilots made the comercial for Trabant.( the aces)

@Talking Turkey THEN MAKE YOUR OWN CAR AND STOP COMPLAINING!

The Yugo The new mini, the new vw bug the new fiat 500 the the 3.8 jeeps the 4.1 Cadillac the year 2000 Mercedes/ Chrysler , bmw Audi, Volvo with the stupid valve cover design that if you get a leak you need to take half engine apart and mess with the timing because the cover is what’s holding the camshafts in place, the fords with stupid relays molded in the fuse box and for a 5 dollars relay you have to purchase all new fuse box for $800 plus labor and the 5.4 liter Ford spark plugs that breaks inside the engine, and the 4.0 Ford with the timing chain between engine and transmission they are junk and are all falling apart

@@nickvitobovino3486 DUDE, YOU THE MAN !

American v8 cars ?! Worse fuel efficiency. Worse pollution . Worse weight and size for a car just made for fat Americans driving thru McDrive ..Worse overpower'd engien with just 0 use on your flat country. Simply just a stupid construction for stupid people .

Get one im 14 and i did

Why would it be ridiculous, there is so much wrong information about this car. If they examine a good example, they will not be able to denigrate it in any way.By the way, you can find the right information about Trabant here; www.adrianflux.co.uk/cult-classics/sixty-years-trabant/
