Today, I bought the worst car ever made - a 1986 Yugo GV, which happens to be world famous as the most viewed Yugo on KZbin, being on channels like Doug Demuro, VinWiki, Aging Wheels, and this one. It's also very, very broken, so let's see if we can fix it, shall we?

"WORST Car EVER MADE" ? I wouldn't say that. My first car was a Yugo. Loved it very much. They are not race cars, but they are very reliable and cheap to maintain. You can basically swap the engine for 150-200$ lol. If you take care of her, she will be there for you. I had 6 cars since and my Yugo was the most reliable.

@Blesava Konjina thumbs up

[@draconpost]

@Blesava Konjina it's interresting because I live in Poland and if the stuff is made in and for Poland it's ussually crap and the same stuff which goes for Germany is made differently and a lot better. The worse countries get worse products. Even Haribo jelly bears are made different for Germany and Poland. So it's actually better to get a used car from germany than buy a new one made for Poland. it's so messed up to the point that people buy new cars abroad and pay tax just to have a car that is better because it's diffent quality, and it's 2021...

[@johnhpalmer6098]

@Blesava Konjina I was familiar with these when new in the US and liked them, yeah, you can tell it's from Fiat, and I knew that then, essentially a variation of the Fiat 127, but with the running gear of the 128 for the US market models, that is, the GV, GVS, GVL had the entry level 1.1L OHC 4, the GVZ, I think it was, had the slightly quicker 1.3L, and the ONLY differentiation between the trim was the interiors got upgraded to slightly plusher door panels, seat upholstery etc, but the dash etc, remained the same. The GVZ had a slide and fold front seat buckets, instead of the entire seat tilting up from the front of the seat cushion. Other than that, the tailights had integrated back up lights and fancy wheels, then there was also the cabrio variant as well. As said, not speedy, but it did get out of the way, more or less and was basic transportation par excellence. Never ended up with one when newish. Later years (1990-1991), the line was consolidated to the GV Plus, basically a combination of the base car, with the seats from the GVZ and the 1.3L inline 4 and it got fuel injection but otherwise, not much else, but by 1991, the war in Yugoslavia took its toll and the car could not sustain exports as a result, and there was a lawsuit of some Yugos by 1990 had emissions problems when new, thus didn't meat emissions standards, both spelled the death knell to the car and by 1992, it was gone from our shores. Like I said, not bad, and it being based on the Fiat was alright by me, mind you, an old model that was initially introduced in the late 60's. The 127 was a hatchback, but a lower priced model than the 128 sedan/coupe and 3 door wagon (I'd want that for the 128, and could have come close to purchasing a bright yellow '78 128 in the early 80's. As said, the Yugo for the US anyway was an amalgamation of both models, the body is a variant of what the 127 was shod, but converted to FWD with the use of the 128 running gear. BTW, the 127 in Italy and beyond, came with a pushrod motor, the 128 from the outset was OHC. As you can tell, I did some research on this a bunch of years back. :-)

[@johnhpalmer6098]

@Blesava Konjina Thanks! I knew a few details of it after the Yugoslavian war through research but I DO need to make a slight correction to my initial post. The Fiat 127 was introduced in 1971 as a replacement for the then outgoing Fiat 850, which was RWD and rear engined of around 850cc. The 127 was built as a FWD car, but not with a McPherson strut suspension and I don't think it had front disks either and the 903cc motor was pushrod, or OHV in design and was sold as a sedan or the more popular hatchback. Other than a few details, the Yugo sported a similar body. The Fiat 128 was a true modern FWD car and one of the first as it did sport OHC motor, a true transaxle transmission, transverse mounted, and with McPherson struts up front and disc brakes, all revolutionary at the time, now commonplace. It's all quite interesting nonetheless.

We owned a few of these over time (in Yugoslavia and later Croatia). We loved them all. The reason is that it was a sort of a car that you could use for almost any purpose, and even if it breaks it was so cheap to fix. I managed to put some really large objects inside of it, like huge paintings, that couldn't fit in bigger cars. My mother was driving it for 20 years or so. But then again, we were used to similar (better and worse) cars back then. I would still love to drive it around. It was also a great car to drive offroad. Not maybe like some big car dedicated for that purpose, but I can't remember that there was ever a type of road that we couldn't conquer. If you visit any part of ex Yugoslavia, most of the folks will have a positive memory of Yugo.

[@yveslaurier950]

I used to have a 1987 Yugo, and really had a lot of fun with it. It needed more maintenance than the average car, but parts where cheap, and the motor was performing better than the Renault R5 my brother had. I had to replace the clutch cable on the roadside once (they where $14.00 then, and they broke regularly, so I always had a spare). Steering angle is kind of weird, but you get used to it. Rear suspension is independent (a la Corvette, rear transverse leaf). Sold it in 1994, and regret selling it. It was so inexpensive, I didn't care for shopping mall dings.

Just sayin. But contrary to the movie tenants, the cows are actually MUCH smarter than any dinosaur was, and cows aren't exactly brilliant. I think they place somewhere between tree stumps and house cats. The actions of the raptors hunting the humans in the building were beyond silly. Not that you wouldn't be in serious trouble, but they wouldn't be operating like those were. In reality, they were somewhere south of a chicken in intelligence, and if you've ever had chickens, that should bring a chuckle. Not turkeys, but not geniuses, either.

The difference between the US Yugo and the European Yugo is Americans are lazy and expect their cars to run perfectly, forever and with zero maintenance. I've met people who have no idea about things like oil changes and coolant. Worked in a Garage, lady comes in car is 'smoking'. It was steam coming from a 6 inch (not kidding) split in her radiator hose. I told her car's not going anywhere. She had some place to be. So I gave her a jug of water. Next day it's "my fault" her engine melted down. After I told her exactly what would happen if she drove it.

My dad still drives around a red Yugo and it was bought it '91. It carried around tons of materials and tools since my dad is a smalltown construction worker and it only needed one major repair since then and the parts are cheap and very easy to come by. I don't think many newer cars can say that they would last 30 years if driven everyday carrying construction material.

maybe you should consider two facts: 1.It was a cheap and low cost to run and maintain car with a safe and predictable on-the road response and 2. Zastava was a foundry and machineworks complex legendary for it's fine crafting of metals, mainly for military applications. We actually loved it here in the balkans, as a university student i could travel with it with a pennies worth of gasoline, came with a standard stereo casette player too.Even FIAT stole the idea back and based its "PANDA" concept on it.

@Darko Vasić that's cool to know. The engineering is simple enough that they should be easy to rebuild and keep running. Betting the only real issue is rust, as long as parts are available. The problem over here is cars are getting too complicated and expensive to fix, making them expensively disposable, not to mention ours will not be running after someone pops an EMP over here. Yugo's will suddenly become part of the in-demand cars at that point.

yugo is product of late '70s with styling from italdesign. it was the ultimate beginner car. it had unique ability to demand mechanical and driving knowledge. modable, dirt cheap parts, anyone and their grandmother could fix one with just 3 spanners, one screwdriver and a boot (or hammer if you are fancy), it represented self-reliance in its purest form. if you kept it clean it was surprisingly reliable. perfect first car or mechanics "proof of concept" car as it will literally work with only engine, gearbox, wheels and ladder (and i have seen this with my own eyes). it will also move like a bee when kitted out and 150+bhp in hands od a good driver. there is nothing like that nowdays besides some kit cars.
