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?😡😡😡

[@Menace2DaComments]

@@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.

[@misaVR]

@@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.

[@adelaideautowashes]

@@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.

The antire issue about Yugo's got toally overreacted.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We owned three Yugos. One was for parts, which was necessary because the Canadian government failed to ensure that parts would be available for an adequate length of time, a standard requirement for imports. But, in fairness, Yugoslavia went under shortly after we bought our first two Yugos. For those simply wanting a reliable vehicle at a good price, the Yugos were great. Not everyone gets suckered by American auto industry sales tactics. I am surprised this review didn't cover a problem Yugo drivers faced: carb icing. Yugo carburators had a narrow venturi and, under certain conditions, would ice up. Anyone who's flown small aircraft is familiar with this problem. Placing some cardboard in front of the radiator solved this easily. They weren't status cars, but they were reliable and served their purpose. And we skydived the money we saved, so!

As much as I love seeing Doug review the latest escalade or that wicked Porsche Carrera GT, I really wish he'd review more "strange" cars like this.

[@luigi55125]

I have an 87 Yugo, here's my take if anyone cares. It's a very strange little character from a country that technically doesn't exist anymore. Almost every Yugo in the US was off the road permanently at some point, and is a 100-99% original parts barnfind that was sitting for 20+ years. The interior is nearly impossible to describe, but I would best say it's, "handmade with recycled materials". Everything feels odd, and has a permanent sweet(?) smell to it. It's very flimsy and feels like you're driving a hollowed out refrigerator shell with a lawnmower motor. The steering wheel is made of some type of foam material that's deteriorating with age. It takes somewhat rare flat tappet zinc oil, with different sources giving different cold weights. Everyone has one of three responses to seeing it. 1, can't register that they're actually seeing a Yugo and stare at it mouth hanging open like they've seen a ghost (I'm not exaggerating), 2, loves it and wants to tell you stories, and 3, hates it because it's inconveniencing them and their 2023 suv with it's inadequate acceleration speed. It IS reliable and starts every time without fail. It shifts fine, runs fine, stops fine. The timing belt is the entire cars lifeline. It's an interference engine with a very short life rubber belt. If the belt breaks, piston and valve are pronounced husband and wife. This is what killed almost all yugos in the US. People in the US couldn't get replacement belts in the 80s, but now we have the internet. There's Midwestbayless and yugoparts dotcom that sell all major components. Keep that belt and tensioner fresh, and it will be as reliable as any other 35 year old car. Expect to need rust repair. Yugos have never been known for their rust proofing. The metal under the tail lights was completely gone and water would enter the trunk when it rained. It's recommended to remove the emissions system if you live somewhere without inspections, as the Yugo wasn't designed to have one and runs better without it. Overall it's been a fun enjoyable experience, the opposite of what people were making it out to be. Even the lady at the DMV paused when I told her the car model, and she said "what?", and when I said Yugo again her face lit up and she started going on telling me stories. The previously angry DMV lady. No, the Yugo is not the worst car in history. Honestly if the belt problem that killed them didn't exist, people probably wouldn't even remember or care about the Yugo. Where are the Le Cars? Where are the original Hyundai Excels? Nobody cares about those. The Yugo was a victim, not an enemy.

@@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...
