ᴴᴰ 1988 Trabant 601 Kombi: In depth tour & Test drive

In this video I drive (for the first time) Trabant 601 Station Wagon (Kombi), and this was very funny expirience, because of the strange-placed shifter, two-stroke engine noise, low power ... but very fun to drive.
The Trabant 601 (or Trabant P601 series) was a Trabant model produced by VEB Sachsenring in Zwickau, Sachsen. During this long production run, 2.818.547 Trabant 601s were produced overall and it was the most common vehicle in former East Germany. With hindsight it can be considered East Germany's response to West Germany's 'Peoples Car', the VW Beetle.Its purpose was to provide a cheap but still reliable car that was very affordable and also easily to repair and maintain.
The car has 594,5 cm³ two-stroke two-cylinder engine.
