>>7155588The Trabant wasn't hardy in any way. It had an extremely simple 2 stroke engine that worked most of the time but otherwise it was a really shitty car. It wasn't even that good in the cold, it needed a block heater under 45F in order to start.
In other departments, chassis that deformed when you looked at it funny, paint that peeled off, water leaks through everywhere, noise...
If you want to talk about hardy cars, the VAZ-2101 is a good example.
