Wartburg 13 Engines and Transmissions

The selected 1.3 MT versions combine a gasoline engine, manual transmission and front-wheel drive in both body styles. You operate the clutch and select gears yourself, making their condition particularly relevant to everyday driving. During a test drive, check for clutch slip under acceleration and difficulty engaging gears.
