    The Yugo is often considered one of the worst cars ever made. That's completely true -- and here's why.

    Yugo was based on Fiat models and designed in Italy, so it's practically a Ferrari

      @@misaVR well ya see, look at how many features a similarly priced car had. You could get an AMC spirit for not much more, and it had so many features, and it looked nicer. Then at the same time, you could’ve gotten a new mustang for not much more. And then there’s the Ford Fiesta, looks like a Yugo, but performs like a true hatchback. The yugo was overpriced for its features and speed. And a little over 6 years later, the geo metro came out, it was 6000 new and it was miles faster. Plus this is the 80s, someone could’ve bought a 70s charger with a 426Hemi for a couple thousand.

      It’s an awesome joke, but in reality it would still be gutted for anything you can sell without having to admit it came from a Yugo and the rest torn apart with a huge “SCREW YOU” spray painted/keyed on the side by the thief, for having the gall of trying to outsmart them. It’s like that urban legend of the thieves leaving a message of “whenever we want it (whatever the heck you’ve got valuable), we’ll take it”.

      @@bibox9487 you are wrong there, it's designed by Zastava factory in Kragujevac, Serbia. Truth is that Zastava did produce models licences under Fiat but this isn't one of them. Engine, gearbox and body is designed by Yugoslav engineers. Yes, they made have used some Fiat solutions from their experience building Fiat cars, but nothing on this car has to do with Fiat. The sad fact about this car and it's factory is that they produced Yugo's until late 2007 and all they changed on it was brand badge, bumpers and stop lights. So, for 30 years, for how long they were making them, that is all off the developments that car got. Many of us, ex Yugoslav's learn to drove on this car, it was unreliable, but cheap and available parts. I learned a lot about mechanics driving it. All in all, it's not as bad as some other cars produced in Eastern Europe at the time.

      In the 1980s very few people outside Yugoslavia knew of or cared about Serbia. This car was considered Yugoslavian, not Serbian. Even today, very few people like or dislike Serbia. It's just not important.
      The reason the Yugo is generally laughed at is not that people in the West dislike Serbia. The real problem is that this car was laughably unreliable. It was badly made and it required more maintenance that other cars. If your only choice of cars was Yugo, you could make do, but in the West people had many, many better choices. For the price of a new Yugo, you could buy a used Toyota which was much better built and infinitely more reliable.

      The antire issue about Yugo's got toally overreacted. It started to be sort of fashion to talk bad about that poor cheap car. but the fact is that in late 1980s and early 1990s a lot of car manufacturers trought the globe were trying to create a cheap car that would be easly affordable to poor people in all over the world. Yugo actually followed what was Yugoslav political engagement at that time, which was the non-ALligned moviment, so it was maynly made for eprot to poor countries in Africa and Asia where people could get a car for firt time for less then 1000 doollars. It also ended up extremely popular in Yugoslavia and the rest f central ad Eastern Europe as sort of cheap urban car that could drive you from one part of the town to the other in quick ammount of time, and with the advantage f bein small and thus requiring a small sac of parking.

    You forgot to mention that it had ashtrays in the back (very important). Right side rear view mirror was not mandatory at that time (in Europe), so don't hold this against this car. The car stereo is typical of the 80-ties (no minus point here), It did have a very small gas tank and high fuel consumption (I had to refuel for a trip of 400 km) and I drove the "better" version of this car, the "America" Yugo GV /export only car which I got by chance/ (as in your review). It served me well for 7 years: repair and maintenance very cheap. It got you from A to B. Most importantly: as a young driver you learn the limitations of your car in this case - when and how to overtake, how to steer in corners. Once you get the hang of it, it was actually fun to drive.

Here is the story behind it, my best friend Rebeca asked her dad for a Honda Civic as a gift for her senior year in high school, she wanted a white one, until one day her dad called her and asked her to confirm if she wanted a white car, she confirmed! She was so excited, until he arrived with the Yugo GVX! She was livid! Then she came to pick me up and when I got in, I went to roll my passenger window and the lever fell off! , it popped back on with some pressure though!, she went to adjust the rear view mirror and the thing also popped off! You were able to snap it back on the same way. On the first week the gas gauge stopped working and many many many times the car left us stranded. But we had a lot of fun with it and it took us everywhere, if that car could speak! Good times!

    I still have 3 Yugo"s. Two have the wrecked option and the other one is slowly disolving into the ground. The entire floor has rusted away and about 1/2 way up the seat bottom is where it now rests on the ground.
    Here in Michigan a Yugo was crossing the Macinaw Bridge and a gust of wind lifted the car up from the steel grating roadway, over the safety rail and following a long fall it crashed into the water and sank, killing the driver

    Around 1990, my dad and I went to this car auction to look and they were selling this “grand touring Yugo” that looked almost new with like 10,000 miles on it for under $2,000. It was a nice blue color and might have had a really minor body kit (not positive) which sounds tacky, but it looked fairly nice. It turned out to be a great second car, and the grand touring Yugo writing on the back was hilarious. I do remember the shifter was really sloppy, but other cars in that price range were like early 80s Chevy Chevettes and crappy k-cars or older American cars with these massive hoods that I hated and were hard to tell what they were going to do in the snow....I’d rather drive the Yugo with it’s visibility and crappy go cart feel.

    I’m in Britain and my first car in 1986 was a Yugo. It was about 5 years old when I bought it and it cost the equivalent of about $1500. Different version but it was utter crap. In fact, it was in a lovely shade of sh1t brown. I was doing shift work and needed to get into work across London at fairly unsocial times. It didn’t break down but it took about 10 seconds from zero to 30mph and the brakes were frighteningly unresponsive. I had if for about 9months before I traded it in for a new car.

    (Not tho related) A funny story from my dad, he had an old truck that he got from his brother during high school. (He got it because he got hit by a car TWICE in the same day while biking to school). The car he got took him from place to place, but the yugo in this video would’ve been a luxury car compared to what he had. While he was driving home from his school one day, the rear axels fell right through the trunk, (because of rust) and he was driving at a 30 degree angle for the next 3 miles. The best fix my dad and his brother could come up with was to put 2x4’s in the trunk bed to stop the axels from going through! Although this worked, the engine died 2 months later, right as he got out of school!

      Yugo is a Fiat 127, not 128. There was the Yugo Skala that was a 128 derivative and was bigger. A friend had an Innocenti Koral, that was a Yugo 55, and had no problems. Cars were reliable enough, they are considered as crap beause they had low or no maintenance, harsch conditions and lot of KM, they were made with crap only since the 90s (war), not the 80s. For the wealthy US standards, it was crap anyway, reliable or not reliable.

    I bought a brand new 1988 Yugo at a Buick dealership back in 1988 for around $5000 and it was quite a fun little car to drive. I used it as a second car, a commuter for the 10 mile drive to work each day. My small daughters loved to ride in it, too. The little car had tight steering and the body was painted inside and out like the VW Beetle was. Mine had AC, but I had to turn it off when climbing a grade, ha! The seats were firm, but back support was good. I don't think it's fair to review a 30 year old example as a definitive Yugo, but then again, the fact that a Yugo lasted 30 years is pretty impressive. I only had my '88 Yugo one year, as Hurricane Hugo came through Charleston, SC in 1989 and lobbed parts of my house roof onto the hood and top of the little car. "Hugo hit my Yugo!" A guy on the roofing crew that fixed my house wanted my Yugo. He explained that the chassis and engine were essentially Fiat and he collected Fiats. I sold it to him for $2000 which paid off what I owed on it. I have often thought of that little blue Yugo with fondness.
