this was car that cost 3990 dollars brand new.So if you wanted fast car you bought Ferrari, if you wanted safe car you bought Volvo,if you wanted reliable car you bought something Japanese. But not one car of these ones didn't cost 3990 dollars. You can't expected dirt cheap car to have V8 engine, leather seats and mahogany dashboard and premium badge. Yugo was intended for students, poor people not for Golf club showoffs.

I agree completely. What some of the young readership don't realize is that many of the things pointed out, ten years before this car was sold actually were upmarket features. Not all cars of the '70s were fully carpeted, had dipping rear mirrors or halogen headlights. The 0-50 time is pretty quick actually, ten seconds and 65 bhp in a small car isn't bad at all. Front wheel drive means it's safer in the wet, and the tyre in the bonnet saves space in the back, or having to get under it to get it out. This Yugo reportedly sold over 140,000 models in the States. In real terms people who may have had no car at all, such as: teenagers getting to training or to see their girlfriends/boyfriends. Old people enjoying freedom to get about, and the housewife picking up the kids or getting away for some me time.

The only reason they got a bad name in the end was because of a recall in 1992 right before they left the US. EPA forced a recall on every car they made before 1992 due to emissions concerns (of course) right before Yugoslavia went into civil war, and the UN imposed an embargo on all exports. The warranties on these poor cars became worthless and some cars were even bought back to provide spare parts for other cars as long as they could. Unfortunately, incredibly long wait times don't go down well with people, and the car got a bad reputation. Another problem was people treating the poor cars as disposable and neglecting any and all maintenance where possible. Oil changes skipped and timing belts snapped, which killed these cars more than anything else. There are a few left on the road that still run very well, even after 100,000 miles because their owners simply treated them as you would any other vehicle. Oil changes every 5,000 miles, Timing belt inspected every 20,000 miles and changed every 40,000 miles, Clutch plates every 75,000 miles. Routine maintenance will keep any car on the road much longer, especially one designed from the beginning to be a very robust little communist car!

@@stuartwilkie4887 A good example of 70s engineering is the Chevrolet Chevette... For example, a 1976 Chevrolet Chevette has: 1.4 liter Isuzu I4 making 52HP 4 speed manual transmission Optional 1.6 liter Isuzu I4 making 62HP Optional 3 speed automatic transmission where a 1986 Yugo GV has: 1.1 liter DMB I4 making 52HP 4 speed manual transmission Bench rear seats Rear window wiper Rear window defroster Optional air conditioning Optional 1.3 liter DMB I4 making 65HP Optional 3 speed automatic transmission Optional electro-hydraulic convertible top A base model Chevette was $2899 in 1976, and a base model Yugo was $3990 in 1986. Adjusting for inflation to 2018, a base model Chevette would have cost $12690, where the Yugo would have cost $9220. A Yugo was better built, better designed, had more features, and better optioned than the previous domestic vehicles for sale. The only *real* competition would have come from the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Dodge Omni / Plymouth Horizon, all of which were only marginally better for a much higher cost. Yugo GV for $3990 or Honda Civic for nearly $9000? The choice was simple for an awful lot of people.
@stuartwilkie48875 жыл бұрын
Actually yes, it was the Vauxhall Chevette I was thinking about from a decade earlier. To a potential Chevette buyer ten years ago - the extras in a Yugo would be quite welcome. One of the problems really for it was the intrusive drive tunnel. However, I would expect a Chevette to give a higher performance than the Yugo for say being hustled down bumpy, twisty country lanes. I had the experience of that near a place I used to live - in the three box version. With wider tyres, a better engine, about 85 bhp and 5 speed it really would have been a quite decent mover. The Yugo definitely was better corrosion proofed, had more features and more interior space. The interior on both cars was really basic though. I'm not a massive fan when I can see painted metal on the inside. I think the Yugo was a better car for those on a tight budget (as you accurately pointed out with the adjusted price). And, if properly maintained it could run and run. I think it was ideal for a student or an older person with priorities of longevity, visibility from a higher driving position and space. The Chevette to my mind was better as a family car that somebody with a need for better or safer driving dynamics would want. The Yugo I could potter about in, but the Chevette I think I'd feel more confident as a daily machine carrying my family around.

Electronic ignition and partial electrically controlled carburator are about the closest you get, but even then there's only 3 circuits on that carb anyways!

I think the lowest priced fuel injected motor you could get at the time would have been a Honda Accord LXi or a Toyota Celica or something. Very high in the range and everything else below it was all carburators.

I figure a butterfly flew out in front of it and totalled it out. lol. Insurance companys just wrote them off if they even got into a minor fender bender. I bought another Yugo for parts .I ended up pulling the head from my first one and putting it on the second one. I then parted out the first one. The rocker switches failed. The fuel guage failed. It was a joint endeavor with Ford Motor company. The engine was a fiat 128. Parts were available and diet cheap. My mechanical fuel pump kept failing so I installed an aftermarket electric fuel pump mounted on the firewall. The second Yugo ran pretty ggod. I ended up selling it for a Ford 4 door Maverick. I owned that car for 7 years and got 280k on it. I sold it and the guy I sold it to drove it for many years after. That Yugo didnt last much longer after I sold it I guess.

So I found these, indicating the wide appeal of the car with a Brit and an Aussie demonstrating them today: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boDNgp-keputeMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/maXZn4SPf6iIoas Although a challenge for us to drive with unfamiliar pedals and routines, Model Ts were built very well and appeared in many guises including as trucks, tractors, and farm generators. You could buy a kit and make Model Ts into many helpful machines. They were also used in WWI. They were in a sense the ancestor of the Jeep. They also had a version of cruise control. They were inexpensive (going from $850 in 1908 to less than $300 in 1925, or in our money $23,500 to under $4200, which was less than half, adjusted for inflation, of the price of a 1986 Yugo), but they were built to be reliable and were not cheaply constructed. They were also easy to fix and maintain and came with a tool kit. Edit: I just noticed the Yugo came with one, too! I'd like to see someone fix what breaks down on a Yugo with the kit. I think the parts most likely to break down on a Model T were the tires which got punctures often, but you could patch and reinflate them like a bike tire. Yugo had Goodrich tires, so ha ha, Model T! I imagine it was no more difficult to learn to drive a Model T than it is to pilot the average airplane today. :) When the electric start was included it made the car a lot more popular among women. Cranking the car was hardly something a lady would want to do when dressed up.

I remember when I was a kid hearing about the woman who flipped over a bridge in Michigan and drown in a Yugo. People blamed the car however the woman was driving at a high rate of speed and she was intoxicated as well. Her accident could have happened in any car. I remember thinking that is the beginning of the end for Yugo here in the states. Also I believe that Yugoslavia was in a civil war during that time as well which did not help.

The problem now is lack of basic transportation although many panned this car I'm sure it would last if it were properly maintained there's no totally maintenance-free car something like this might sell nowadays with most major manufacturers pushing SUVs and EVs down everybody's throats which are in many cases priced sky high hell id buy a yugo if those sold now!!!
