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
No, it's not practically a Ferrari - it's a Ferrari, but practical.
@@theinstitute1324 oof
Yeaaa
It was based on Fiat 127, which was a quite reliable car... In 1971, when it was released. Yugo came in 1981... 😅
Italian design by Fiat from 1966.
Only a true Slav can master it...

The guy in the video: This car sucks, it'll probably fall apart after 3 months of use.
90% of the comments: Our family had a yugo for 20 years, we never took it to the mechanic and it never let us down. I got raised by that car, it is like a parent to me. Unforgettable experience.
The guy pissed me off actually: One of the reasons why is it the worst car ever is because it has only five switches on the dash🤔
The fuck is he expecting on a 1980's car? A nitro maybe?😡😡😡
@@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.
@@Menace2DaComments You're forgetting one thing: it was not made for USA needs. Where it was made you need more than $1.5k for yearly registration for engines of 2.5L+.
It was not made to run fast, but to run economically: 6L/100km fuel and still get you to the same place as Mustang. And guess what: it still runs all over Yugoslavia.
I'm not that surprised. If you make fun of something, you're gonna get people who defend it. I don't mind the Yugo, but in the US, there's no arguing that it was cheapo transport. (I'm not from the US.)
@Sussy ass motherfucka it doesn't matter where and who it was manufactured for. The fact you could buy a substantially more ethical vehicle for basically the same price exposes what a piece of scrap metal this embarrassment actually was. Just accept the fact your country makes trash vehicles.
Fun fact: the Yugo is its own anti-theft feature
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”.

I bought a Yugo GV JUST LIKE THIS ONE in 1988. It was a 1987 and had just been dented all over by a hailstorm. It had 5k miles, A/C, and an AM/FM cassette stereo. Got it for $2,000. Put 68K miles on it without a single problem! Sold it for $1200 still running well!
It must have had a souped up engine to run both car and air conditioner!
I remember watching my friend drive up in a Yugo.He's a hair under seven feet tall and weighed over three hundred.Watching him get out of the driver's seat was a sight I'll never forget.
The westerners are just not ready for this level of engineering advancement
it's a fiat project sold to the Yugoslav government, so it's western engineering
@@bibox9487 you are jerk if you didn´t get the sarcasm
@@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.

That speaks a lot.

The longevity of a Yugo is something that you can't deny and that's one of the most important aspects of a car.
I don't think longevity counts when you're constantly replacing major parts.. The thing is probably on the 6th engi swap by now xD
I can't even give it longevity of the bodywork because even that has major rust.
I bet it's like my neighbors Trabant. Barely running, falling apart so bad that his cousin is afraid to vacuum it in case it's the dust that is holding it together and constantly has something replaced/repaired. A cheap beater just to do wild stuff and don't care about trashing it? Hell yeah, sign me up! But never as a daily driver and not a good car, especially not by todays standards.

I saw many Yugos in Serbia working absolutely well. It was an incredible scene seeing a Yugo actually off-roading on a muddy snow-covered trail.
I mean it's the country they were designed for after all, with tons and tons of mountainous dirt roads. The Yugo had pretty good ground clearance for a little car.
True- Yugo was a reliable brand- those bashing it are clueless. It was economical too and with proper mainteneance would outlast its competitors

it still runs after 30 years. Your argument is invalid.
Was it being used daily for 30 years?
Your stupidity is surprising.
The car owner mentioned buying 2: 1 to use as a running car, and a second one for parts.
He said it is running for 6 months now, not 30 years, idiot.
Morpheas Well, Yugos in Serbia run after 30 years, they dont break... You can get it for 250$ and fix it really easily.. And he runs it for 6 months, but it was made 30 years ago
+Morpheas Excuse me sir, this is a Christian server so no swearing
Damn you are fucking stupid! Don't take things too literally!
Morpheas yes as others said it, you're too stupid to even exist. You don't believe it's run for only 6 months now do you?! moron.
You can make fun of the concept of the Yugo but every country in the world should have a car like the Yugo.Made cheap for the masses and 100% made within the country's borders.
Isn't that how the VW Bug got started... cheap to buy, cheap and easy to fix type philosophy?
windsor laser
Well the Ford Model T idea is older than the Bug.Same idea though.Make a car affordable enough for the workers making it can afford it.
The people in charge said we can't have that so let's safety regulate beyond the reach of poor people.
it wasnt cheap, it was very unreliable and cost a fortune to maintain. Ive spent a lifetime buying cheap things and in the long run you wind up spending more money not less.
Y10Q
So it's ok to buy cars made globally.The motor made in Canada, the transmission made in Mexico, the body in the United States and the wire harness from Germany.Let's say the transmission factory burns down, the boat caring the wire harness sinks,Canada imposes a trade embargo against the US for human rights violations and the car body workers go on strike for better wages putting everyone in the chain out of work.Thanks to global capitalism.
No, if Tesla stayed home, it would be somebody else a few months later.
It is not about Tesla. We have the correct environment in this country
for people like Tesla to come and do their stuff and make the world a
better place. The people that made that Yugo are the exact opposite of
what we are trying to achieve in the world. Cash based economies.
I had a Yugo back in the late 80s. I loved my Yugo. It was still running when I sold it.
Saw the smile on your face while driving it! 😅 Reminds me of good ol’ times getting my fresh driving license back in 2000, jumping in my dad’s 1992 Yugo Koral 55 and being the happiest guy on earth!
Call me crazy, but that actually isnt a terrible looking car.
Hugh Jass yeah honestly if it had a new transmission and engine swapped in it would be awesome
Way better looking than any 2016/2017 Honda or Toyota made today...
Sadly...
Hugh Jass No, it's just fucking awful looking
It looks like a Volkswagen Jetta, Golf , Rabbit and Sirocco, Chevy Sprint and Chevette, Plymouth Horizon, Dodge Omni and Colt, Ford Fiesta, Mitsubishi Champ, and vaguely like a Toyota Tercel. ALL "economy" cars looked like that. This video reminds me of people who buy a tool at Harbor Freight and bitch cause it aint a 'Snap-on".
It costed 4000 in 1992 and 1k right now? 3K DEPRECIATION IN 25 YEARS!!! Most cars depreciate 3k the second you drive it out the dealer lmaooooooo.
Chthonian121 it depreciated 3k when it was started and stayed there
Or you can say it lost 400% of it's value in 25 years...
LOL
You can buy it in the Balkans for like 200-500$.
400% of its value is $16,000
dude, i OWNED this car for many years. neat, cheap, easy to park due to small size, didn't bother about getting it scratched because it was so cheap. my experience with it is very positive. it was a great car for getting around town. not so good for long trips. but i only used it to get to work and buy groceries. fond memories.
The first time I heard about the Yugo was in the Disney Channel movie "Good Luck Charlie: It's Christmas!".
"no automatic climate control" from a car from the fucking 80's, get your mindset in that time alright... and think of the price -.- sometimes i feel like you have no idea about cars (especially older cars)
Actually, there is no climate control at all.
Indeed, this one is called a "heater" lol
since it was an expensive option to get climate control in a car in the 80's. but i hope you still get my point
I actually kinda' like the way they did the controls though.
There was no climate control, in summer, you'd die in a Yugo, but in winter the heating was superb, I'm driving a Hyundai i30 today, and the heating can hide itself compared to the Yugo. If I had the heating on max, I had to had to open the window not to bake. I was never cold in my Yugo.
How do you double the value of a Yugo?
Fill the gas tank.
Cringe...
chemistryguy 10/10 would read joke again.

My cousin had a Yugo back in the late 80's. That Yugo had a serious lean to on the Driver's side. But again my cousin weighed 400 lbs. She loved that car. The only complaint she had was having to change the tires on left side often. 🤔
Long live the YuuY (THIS Yugo). It was advanced af, that even the world wasn't ready for the quirks and features it deliver. Why complain about the simple interior? That's the point, it's the people's race car for the road.

Maybe his issue is because Yugo was build in Serbia. West countrys never liked us,personally i dont know why,we gived so much to world.
Vitez sa Vozdovca As an American, I love Serbia. I am sorry for what NATO has done to your region. God bless you. Bill Clinton will burn in hell.
Vitez sa Vozdovca
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.
+Max Werner In the mens hairstyle video you said you were from Estonia.

Doug the type of dude who was social distancing four years early
Dude... downshifting on a hill when you are in 4th or overdrive is quite NORMAL (especially in an econobox). You're letting your inner drama queen show.
When driving it I usually have to go down to second on any extended hill
i usually drive in 6th gear when i don't need the extra torque, but there are two hills on which i sometimes turn to 5th gear to not lose ~5km/h
***** That information is irrelevant until you tell us what make model and year of car you are driving.
Gunther Ultrabolt Novacrunch Honda Civic -06. has about 91hp. it's off the cheaper end. non-automatic gears and no speed control. (front wheel drive+not diesel)
obviously a 6-gear+reverse model.
+julkkis666 Right, so you sometimes have to downshift for hills. If you have a 2006 Civic with a 6-speed manual, you do not have a "cheaper end" you have an Si, which has 197hp from the factory.
A friend had a Yugo that he drove 70 miles round trip everyday, it was also air conditioned and the car lasted 184,000 miles before the engine blew. I don't remember him having much trouble with it.
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.
nomebear The engine bkew because he did not service the cooling system. True for any car.
The logic around production in eastern Europe at the time was: "Make as much as you can for the lowest price", since the majority of people in the Eastern Bloc couldn't even dream of affording a Ferrari F40, a cheap car that works, works. That's why most car companies from the east (Yugo, Lada, Dacia, Skoda) started out making terrible cheap cars so that their citizens could afford them
Yugo is not from est block.

When the Yugo blew off the Mackinaw bridge in Michigan, about 30 years ago, killing the driver, somehow doing about 70 mph, it was recovered and stored in a garage over the winter. That winter, the snow was so deep everywhere, that the building collapsed, crushing the Yugo further into trash.

1 person sits in the driver's seat, and the other four would get out and push

I bought a NEW 1988 Yugo GV , on sale for $2690.00 + tax & fees. Drove it for over 65,000 trouble free miles. Sold it for $1900. While it was nothing special, It was my best ( financially speaking) car deal ever.
Was I the only lucky one? Probably not.
At one time I wanted to make it a Yugo Limo 4x4. Would have been pretty cool.
I'm so sorry for you cause it lasted 65000km too much; you definately weren't the lucky one;D
Bud Chronic , he said 65000 trouble free miles then he sold it. Sorry you can't understand what you read. ouch
i had a 55 rodge that i paid 50 dollars for, but that doesn;t make dodge a good car...
Donald Badeaux "While it was nothing special, It was my best ( financially speaking) car deal ever." Nothing special does not mean "good car"
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.
This car was passed down from generations...I can't express how grateful I am for its longevity. I've done about 3 billion km in it so far and all I've had to do is fill the tank twice. My Yugo ancestors would be proud

I learned to drive a stick shift in a Yugo! It was 1989 and I was a junior in high school! 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!
When we here in Hungary first could buy a Yugo, somewhat around 1988, it seemed a very modern car for us after the Trabants...
In Serbia you can look out your window and still see 10 yugos on the street, they can't be killed and are cheap as hell...

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
This was my family's car for the first 14 years of my life. I feel attacked.
ahh youve caught on. this video is actually a personal attack on you.
@@soulfly3438 soon, this video will be a PHYSICAL attack on you!! (Angry mob knocks on bedroom door)
Your just poor dude
im 9 and i got a new car when i was 7 and i had to let the yugo go it was a really sad day lol
Just to be clear... are you counting several years where your family owned this car, but it wasn't actually operable?
This car is a luxury car. In East Germany, the Trabant didn't get a fuel indicator in the car. Count your lucky stars (red communist stars) that you get an interior fuel indicator.
Sign of bourgeois values creeping into socialist paradise to have fuel indicator.
Luxury yes yes ahahhahaah

A side get Porshe, the other have this.
hmmm red communist stars-in homer simpsons' voice
I was about to write about the Trabant - that is the definition of a P.O.S.
My sister had one of these and the door fell off on i-95. A few years later she got a PT Cruiser. A great car history
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.
There was a joke back in the day in the Yugo manufacturing plant:
"You pretend to pay us, we pretend to work."
tom cool No.... this is Balkan 🤣🤣
@Zimraan Hossain because balkan people hate the fact he called yugo bad since everyone here has driven one and there are so many of them on the roads so i really dont know why he called it shit
@Zimraan Hossain yeah Lada Niva is one of the dopest SUV's out there but yugo is basically a meme car in ex yu countries so people get offended when the car is taken seriously 😂
Павле Блажевић but... it is shit. Never was a good car and never will be.
@@user-vg8cx4jr6z It's literally cheap.
Doug the kind of guy to compare a Yugo to the F40.
Yeah dumbest thing I've ever heard in a video. My wife bought a Rover Metro in the 90's ... this was a time that Porsche and Ferrari were making super cars!! .... yeah, and? Today you can buy a cheap pile of crap from India for 4 grand, or you can buy a Bugatti for a million ... same old shit.
You're both completely missing the point
@@jonpresley1163 Go on.
Justin Stewart:
Well the F40 is maybe the same level of luxury than the Yugo,
But the plastic is Carbon fiber
Yugo is faster
Looks like a pretty chill car, it has whatever you need. No bells and whistles, no excessive stuff that can break down and brick your car. It's a shame it's in this condition
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.
My favorite joke about the Yugo is -
Why do all Yugos have a rear window defroster?
So that you can keep your hands warmer when you are pushing it.
Bruce you can push my car,on my language it is : puš maj kar, it means something different.....
What do you call a Yugo with over 1000 miles on it?
An underachiever!!!!
@@boskosimovic5148 HAHAHAHAHAHAH

*A Jay Leno Yugo joke from 1990:*
"Well ya know, Yugo is having a tough time selling cars lately. So to entice new customers, they're offering free accessories like a rear-window defogger. Which is great, cuz it keeps your hands nice and toasty when you're pushing it."
LOL
lmao. good one
fidorover LMAO
Do you know how to double the value of a Yugo?
Fill up the tank.
fidorover have you been sat on the since the 1980s?
That was a school yard joke we'd say to kids that's parents drove these and Skoda's.
(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!
My mom told me about a friend who had a Yugo in the 80s. Apparently her friend liked to describe it as "Yugo? More like YOU GO TO HELL!!"
Tesla roadster:4 people, 0-60 1.9 seconds, 200000$
Yugo-your whole drunk squad, 0-60 yes, whatever you have in your pocket
Lol

lol no wonder the Yugo had such bad rep in the States. Here in Serbia it came with 65hp and parts were so common and cheap that breaking down wasn't even a problem: you could find cheap parts literally everywhere and it's so mechanically simple that a child can fix it quickly
Everything you've just said still stands today. Pozdrav.
Nope. It came with 45hp 900cc engine with 4 gear transmition and 55hp 1100cc with 5 gears, later one called lux model ;) The GVX model came with 65hp but they were very rare and very expensive to buy. The GVX had quite nice seats, but they were still POS.
And if breaking down isn't a problem, than you don't need a car ;)
its a copy of the fiat 128
No way... Fiat 128 is a tough car, and pst... has 4 doors not 2 , you confuse it with other Fiat like 133 144
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.
The mid 90s when I got my driving licence you could buy these second hand for between £50 and £100 in the UK, you could buy the base model new for £2,495.
To be fair to the Yugo, it was standard to downshift to third on hills with four-speed gearbox with small engined cars I had to do it on my Austin Metro 1.1L.
I never realized how bad of a car the Yugo was until I saw one in the Good Luck Charlie Christmas movie.
My Yugo is 29 years old and he have 300k kilometers on road!!!

Ofcourse
Маријана Стојадинов why do u spend so much money towing it around?
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.
Hurricane Hugo killed Yugo
This is a nice story. 👍
They were worth what they charged for it, and not as bad as some would tell you. Easy target for bullying by simple minds. It was what it was- an outdated FIAT design with a new body
Jimmy McPhail congrats u spent 10k on a car worth $200

There are probably millions of Yugos still running as daily drivers all over Europe.
Seriously
IF winter its cold enough you can pick up girls with this car xD
I stand corrected. According to Google, from 1980 to 2008, 794, 428 total Yugos were built. Still quite a lot of cars.
@@johnnyzeee5215 I would be surprised if even a tenth or a twentieth of them were still on the road. The vast majority of cheap cars disappear within a very short period of time. They are throwaway cars; you only drive them until you have access to a better mode of transportation.
@@no1DdC As I posted before, it was a bit high saying " millions ", the stated production of Yugos during their full run was about 750,000. Hmm don't know... Conditions in some parts of the former Yugoslavia may be such that if you have a running car, you take whatever measures are necessary to keep it running as long as possible. There are thousands of 1950's era cars still used as daily drivers in Cuba, with quite resourcefully owner - fabricated or adapted parts, coat hanger wire , duct tape , etc.
I see that I'm late to the premier. But when dude says it's somewhere between a new car and a bus pass, I busted tf up! 😆
You forgot the 1 good thing. When it breaks down you and a friend can carry it home.
Yugo is the model not the company. It is made by Zastava.
Yugo Is the name of company. Yugo Koral / Zastava Koral, Yugo Florida /Zastava Florida. It's just another name for a different region
@@jonyrambo2626Maybe in the states for some reason. But elsewhere and in its home land its a Zastava Yugo.
zastava is name of the factory, yugo was a name for premium models lol, like infinity for nissan, acura for honda, or brabus for mercedes
most of the people in yugoslavia drove zastava 101 (google it) popularly called stojadin
Don't they make some type of firearms? SKS or ak type rifles? Maybe?
My first car was a 93' red Yugo GV Plus with the grey interior. Never had a problem with it. It cost me around $200 17 years ago. I really miss that little bastard.
I have a Yugo, swapped out all the bad and put the right Fiat parts that fit. it actually passed 200k and no leaks, squeeks, and is a nice grocery getter No A/C, a heater that will sear your eyes. all the stuff you talked about was fixed.
Basically a go-kart with a full chassis. Perfect car for a first time driver. That should have been the target market along with those who don't give a single bleep about performance.
The Yugo needs no fuel. Only rakija
