72% Senior German Drivers Remember Trabant Fondly

Many old drivers in Germany like the Trabant car. About 72% of drivers over 60 think it is the best. They say it is easy to fix and not expensive to keep running well.

Felix Holzmann from Dresden took part in the survey. He agrees that many people did not like the Trabant. He says they did not know about cars from the other side of the wall.

After the wall fell, people bought VW and Audi cars. Soon, many people regretted their decision. Mr. Holzmann thinks that cars from West Germany have a big problem.

These cars are hard for owners to fix themselves. He met a man with a Mercedes who did not fix it. The man did not know how to check or change parts.

Felix asked when he last checked the car. The man said he never did that work himself. Felix could fix his Trabant quickly and easily, even cleaning spark plugs.
