Pros:
-Looks good
-Super soft suspension
-Simple mechanics
-Fairly easy to repair

Cons:
-Rots away like crazy
-Uses an OHV engine (car from the 90's btw)
-Basically uses the same mechanics as Fiats from the 60's
-Keeps breaking because it's an unreliable piece of shit

I actually thought those looked like nice simple cars and wished we imported them here. In the US, owning a car is famously a requirement for any quality of life unless you live in the middle of a big city and there are almost no options for anything under $10,000 unless you're willing to buy something really old. The one car from east of Germany we got was the Yugo, which went for $3,900 in the late 80s and early 90s (probably a little bit under $10,000 in today's money) and it had most of the pros and cons of the Polonez. It was remembered for being really bad, but for the price, there's a lot I would put up with.
