I actually saw a Cadillac rear end a Yugo on the freeway. Due to the Yugo's high rear bumper the Caddy went right under the Yugo, so the Yugo wound up in the Caddy's engine compartment after going through the grill. The Caddy was pretty much trashed, the Yugo was perfectly intact. Funniest accident I've ever seen.

To be fair, a 4 speed gearbox and a carburetor was normal in mid 80's.
@AiOinc15 жыл бұрын
Most imports had that. What people forget is that every single Ford Ranger and Mazda B2000 were all carbureted, and every Datsun 720 had a 4 speed and a two barrel... In this same class, the next closest for price you could get would have been a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla - both of which, their base models were 4 cylinder engines with two barrel carburetors. Many people say the 16 seconds 0-60 was "horrendously slow," but then again at the time... A brand new Honda Civic would have only just beaten that at around 14 seconds. Taking into account that this car cost nearly half of every other new car on the market... It wasn't that bad. You could get a Yugo GVX with air conditioning, an AM/FM/Cassette radio, and an automatic transmission for less than a base model Corolla.

Serbian driving instructors still use Yugo's, because if you can drive a Yugo, you can drive anything. How does Mercedes test for leaks in their cars? They leave a cat in overnight and the next morning if it's dead, the car is approved. How do they test Yugo's? The same way, if the cat is still inside the car the next day, the car is approved. What do you call a Yugo with airconditioning and airbags? A fantasy. If a Yugo is uniform in color, it's considered "new". If one door is a different color it's "slightly used". If a Yugo is literally two different Yugo's spliced together, it's "well cared for".

I had the Yugo 45A, a UK version of this car. Ran it for a year and it never let me down despite me treating it like a go cart. I raced it everywhere. Made many trips to Ireland and trashed it with a full payload down the motorway at 100 mph, no speed cameras in those days!!! ! With hindsight that was fecking madness but still the car never let me down, nothing fell off it, and it did almost 45mpg round town and 55 on the highway. After a year on the road I sold it for the same as I paid for it. My memory of the car was fun if unsophisticated but still cheap cheerful driving. With the luxury of 20-20 hindsight nearly 30 yrs the Yugo 45a was truly appalling, but back then to get a 3 yr old car for £600 ($900) that never let me down was a gift. I loved it. I had a love for off beat East European cars at the time and owned a whole raft of bizzare vehicles. These included the Polish built Fiat 126bis, a 2 door hatchback version of the companies micro car. It was powered with a flat two 600cc engine, again another go cart that was incredible fun. Again it never let me down, did 60+ mpg and I sold it for what I paid for 12 months on. I owned another Yugo the 311, pure fun and topped out at an extraordinary high speed for the tiny 1100cc it employed. Another fun Eastern block car was the Romanian Dacia Duster, the 1980's military 4x4 with a Renault 1200cc engine, oh it was also a canvas top. Again great fun to drive especially given that London was having a heat wave for the time I had it... The list of bizzare cars I had is very lengthy, but what fun I had. The bottom line here is a cheap crapy car 30 years on is a cheap crapy car, but at the time if it was all you could afford they what fecking fantastic...

@@uroskostic8570 Vugo and Trabant like cars should be the cars going down our roads today. Electric or Ethanol / Bio diesel. It is not a matter of being cheap for poor country's. High income people should also be driving this basic low cost vehicles for 20-25 year until the machine is worn out from use an age. There is nothing a Tesla or a Toyota or any modern car is good for. They are a big waste of material and is people being lazy and selfish. How many SUV's are driving around with 1-2 people in them? Only family vans need to be bigger then a 2 door car. And they do not need entertainment screens and all modern trash. Only thing modern vehicles have going for them is safety and luxury. And really if there was some proper laws and rulers we could have solved safety by lowering the average speed where collision risk is high and put some real infrastructure in place to stop crashes to being with. It is simply going to be more dangerous on the road but it should dam be. The drivers should be careful and try and avoid killing themselves. We can not let big heavy SUV's and trucks drive around if anyone is going to be willing to drive a modern Vugo. Like a modern simple car without phone screens and self driving nonsense should be the future. We are walking around with phones in our pockets. Not saying a Vugo is a role model. But with some quality and safety improvements they basically are perfect. The car should at most have ABS and stability control. With a good modern suspension + modern fuel injection. And be cheap and made to last. Using less fuel and not cheat emissions rules simply by being light and minimalist. This are not Iphones. They are instead of community transport like buses. On the public roads it is going from A-B and safety/economics. Nothing more. RUELS NEED TO EXIST REFELCTING THIS. Even rich people should not be allowed anything but basic planet friendly vehicles. Laws exist for reasons like stopping the rich as much as stopping the dangerous people killing us. Abusing us. Yet we got stuff like self driving cars and all kinds of stupid stuff on the road. Only problem is heavy traffic lorries being a problem around "non protected" drives. But if drivers are told to be careful and brake that promise then they are killers and should be treated like killers. Traffic is just going to be slower = saving fuel and safer to even todays traffic. Like most cases of traffic accidents are down to people expecting stuff to be safe and end up becoming a deadly big heavy bullet. It is not the crash safety that is the problem. But the drivers and road conditions.

@@iro-huncarguy8367 True, I always found Trabants fun to drive, especially the 60s examples that are well made, the years went on the quality got worst and worst because the government stopped almost all investments into the factory. I have seen few documents were the designers of the Trabant talked, they said that they had a modern four-stroke four-cylinder engine ready by the same time the 601 went into production but nobody would allow its production and the chief designer actually got into trouble with the police for trying to get it into production. How sad that such brilliant men were stuck in such a horrible situation. Even here in The Czech Republic (then Czechoslovakia) in '64 they introduced a new car, the Škoda 1000 MB a rear engined car with a alloy die-cast aluminium engine block and gearbox casing, a modern technology for that time. By '69 they prepared a completely new car, with engine in the front and RWD , with fully die-cast 1.6 liter aluminium DOHC engine and gearbox housing, fully independent suspension with semi-tralling arms in the back and five speed gearbox but thanks to the Soviet invasion of 1968 that car never went into production and the same rear engined design was used till the late 80s.

As much as I like the Yugo, fuel economy wasn't exactly spectacular. The lack of a 5th gear really hurt highway mileage and the lack of power hurt the city mileage. If the engine had it's power a bit lower and more torque, I'd bet that city economy would have doubled and it's been proven (existence of the GVX) that a 5th gear would raise highway economy. 25 city / 31 highway could have been 38 city / 45 highway with some slight improvements. Longevity was an issue because few people opted for the full undercoat and even fewer took these poor cars in for maintenance like they were supposed to. Hell, oil changes and all engine and vehicle maintenance for the first year of 25,000 miles were completely free! It's baffling that people *still* managed to neglect these cars. One of the biggest issues they faced was the use of a rubber timing belt, which would snap around 40,000 miles if not changed. They were recommended to be changed every 25,000 to 30,000 miles by every dealer I've talked to, the manual states it dozens of times, the parts catalogs have it in bold letters front and back, and the service manual recommends that if you even need to so much as THINK about changing tension or working on the valvetrain that you should replace it anyways, and that under no circumstances should one ever be re-used.

In standard configuration, the Yugo was better equipped than cars that cost twice as much.

It's not the most comfortable, fast or even good looking, but it gets the job done, and then some. The biggest problem with these cars was poor quality control in later production years, and today the lack of adequate spare parts, since Zastava ceased production in 2008, and the remaining parts manufacturers aren't really providing the market with quality spare parts, so many people are forced to obtain good parts from scrapped cars. Anyways, l've been driving mine for 10 years, and apart from a total of three times (which was really my own fault), it has literally never left me stranded. I believe that we have the same carburettor setup, the Weber 7Y 2M-RA, which really is a fantastic carburettor when works properly, but the biggest drawback of it is the jet setup for the second venturi, which is really nonsensical 97/250(!?), and it really chokes the engine.

I had a new one when they came out. I put a little over 100K miles on it. It made quite a few 1,500-mile round-trips to and from my parents' house for visits. It was what is was, nothing more or less. Occasionally I still dream about driving that car. It had an American Frigidaire air-conditioning system in it. I did re-build its American Holley carburetor once. I did replace the brake shoes a couple times (drums all around). I think that the alternator might have been American, too. Not sure. Acceleration was okay up to about 30MPH but entering a highway required a little planning and care. Rear storage was actually quite good. I'm sure that modern highway speed limits would be harder on it than the late 1980's speed limits but it could do 80-90MPH when asked. Parking and city-driving was a dream. I used to hit my cement driveway at a nice clip when returning from work and I'd yank up hard on the hand brake, steer hard to the left, and slide to a stop sideways in the driveway. Fun times.

I'll never forget that my great, great uncle had one. And he was tasked with picking me and my little brother up from school. About 5th grade, I think. Once, on the way home I was making fun of his car. "Ha, you drive a Yugo. Blah blah. Whatever." And he said, "A sorry ride is better than a proud walk. Would you care to walk, instead?" So, I stfu after that. The Yugo is a perfectly adequate car! :)

I know this video is very old,but it's amazing that there are Yugos being driven in America. I own a Yugo,and it's the 60hp model,when i got my drivers license i was scared to drive it because i only drove new cars in the driving school. Soon,i faced my fears and i couldn't be happier because the Yugo is a fantastic car,easy to steer,it's small so you can park it anywhere,sure it does have some quirks and no features *Doug Demuro intensifies*,but it keeps on going no matter what i throw at him,offroad,railway stones,hillclimbing and much more. I wrote a bit too much but for a good reason,people should appriceate the Yugo more and give it a chance,people say bad stuff about cars but they didn't even drove it. It's hella fun and i'm saving some money so i can buy another one and build a proper street car with a 'little' bit more power. You're a good guy,keep up with the good work! ✌

Rear seat folded all the way down with headrests removed. In the seats behind them is a zippered pocket for storage. the car was crap and under powered and mainly made to last a year. stick shift always got stuck, gas cap wouldn't come off, my hatch never stayed open as the gas strut never worked, the engine strained carrying more than 2 passengers. radio knobs fell off, speakers cracked and then died, ignition was replaced about 3 times, my clutch broke 3 times, gas mileage was around 26, one time my ignition disengaged from the motor and i had no way to turn it off or drive it so I abandoned it on the side of the road, the shift cover came out in my hand onetime, it had no tinted glass, interior bulbs burned out, door chime died, all knobs on doors broke, in fact they had cracks in them: the door releases, when we test drove it, a paperclip was inside them, that is all they were, that same 'give' in the shifter is in the front engine compartment release lever, it will actually come all the way off and you put it back in! Second gear was useless, and first you also can't stay in it, it is just to get you to second! In the door were metal pieces there to make the door feel heavier, they simply snapped in pieces, that is why they door sways without stopping, those broke fast. After being on the highway the gear would stay in fourth and I had to use extreme force to yank it out of fourth, it felt like it melted into fourth each time. Every single part of the car had multiple issues, it was dangerous to drive, weak, paint pealing, imagine driving on gravel! i shook to death! I gave up on it at 25,000 miles it was a death trap, it never wanted to be a car, it was fake just to make the sale. I suspect Yugoslavia never wanted to produce cars for us so theY purposefully made them sabotaged, I used to wonder how something could be so poorly made, Fischer Price kids toys are more reliable, what is the purpose of making things that don't work at all? Warranty was only 1 year or your bought one for four years. Radio was pathetic, the old school kind where there was a marker on a string to line up on the station, it would get stuck and not move, the radios were cheaper than the car, i replaced mine also about 3 times, this is still considered a new car and all these problems were going on, you never knew what next was going to fail.

I owned 2 Yugo's as Work vehicles. I got $0.30 per mile reimbursement. I got well over 40 miles per gallon. I drove an average of 150 miles per day for traversing 3 counties. Per month I averaged a total of 3,250 miles plus. That is $975 per month. I purchased the car for $4,900. I earned from its usage $11,700 per year x 3 years before purchasing a new Yugo. That means I earned $20,400 in 3 years after my costs of the vehicle. Also no down time and sold the first Yugo for $2,900. I used that $2,900 to purchase the second Yugo with Air and my cost after the trade was $3,000. I worked 1 year with the New Yugo but with 4 counties to work and averaged 200 miles per day at $0.35 per mile. I was reimbursed $18,200 +/- and sold the Yugo for $4,600. SO who says a Yugo is a worthless vehicle! And in the past Mileage Reimbursement was NON TAXED. And, NO! My engines were never replaced nor did I ever have an issue with them. Just change the oil every 3,000 miles and you will do great!

I had a Yugo 55A L (the model up from the GV) in the early 90's (i live in the UK) it was a 1985 car an was my first car - i had it for a year before i had to scrap it. Bear in mind i bought it in 1992, it was 7 years old had done 70k miles and frankly was on it's last legs. I replaced the clutch (which cost almost as much as i paid for the car) then replaced the shocks, and refurbed all the brakes. By the time i had finished i had spent more fixing the car than i did buying the car. But considering i paid £150 for it i wasn't complaining. Once the clutch, shocks (for cheap but stiffer units) and brakes were all refurbed it actually went quite well, it wasn't fast, it was scary to go over 60mph and terrifying to go over 70mph. One thing i do remember - my uncle had a 2 years old Ford Fiesta at the time and we had a cold winter in 1993 and in -5 degrees the Yugo started first time meanwhile his 2 year old Ford wouldn't start and needed a jump from my Yugo!!! As cheap transport they did the job and you need to remember they were cheaper that a Dacia is (by comparison) nowadays. My mate has a 2016 Dacia Sandero and it's hard to believe that a car that is one of the cheapest cars in the UK is literally light years ahead of what a Yugo was. he;s had his for 5 years and mainly uses it for short journeys and puts his 2 labradors in it and honestly it's never let him down and has required minimal maintenance
