    This car was a great success in the 80's in Greece.
    Lowest price in the market after a trabant,cheap parts,rust was not an issue in a country that earthquakes are more often than rain.

    A friend of mine has a Yugo. He has had it for at least 25 years. I have a 1972 Ford Pinto I have had close to 20 years. Both cars are more reliable than just about anything made today, and they don't spy on you.

    I had a 1985 yugo 45, based on Fiat 127. It was great, comfortable, reliable, and economical. The engine was 903cc and 0 to 60 was under 20 seconds.

    Yugo is one of the first city crossovers. Only that it was not noticed at the time of his appearance. And anyone who has driven the Yugo off-road knows what I'm talking about and its abilities in the snow are excellent.

    @jeffking4176 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As one who KNOWS:
    The early Yugos were really atrocious on quality. Many recalls, things broke, and wore out very quickly.
    These cars, even regularly serviced, and meticulously maintained, just were not built for American driving. This was purely a city car made for short trips.
    Many had worn out engines, transmissions, and front ends, long before 40,000 miles. Everything seemed to wear out at once.
    LATER cars were far better on quality. But by that time, damage to the company’s reputation was already fatal.
    When new, it drove nicely, and it wasn’t a bad looking car.

    With all possiblr due respect, but the Yugo was a bullshit of a car. The Zastava wizards could have rebranded the Fiat 127, which was a spaceship compared to Yugo. The Yugo exactly mirrors the substantial difference between "The East" and " The West". Namely, it is the 1960s values, design(s) and many other political and economy things and aspects that had clung as "prosperous" and useful in the socialism-infected minds. To put it shortly, had the Yugo appeared some 10 years earlier it would have been a real success. The way it turned out, the Yugo is just a proof that communist countries were able to contrapt mechanically acceptable cars but the design and final touchup had remained uninventive shitty and let alone the fact that your hands, legs, gear lever and steering wheel featured different axis without any coordination and it was dangerously irritating.

  • @GeeEm1313
    @GeeEm1313 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    These were pure trash the day Malcolm Bricklin brought them to the U.S. The last Yugo I've ever seen was broken down with the owner on a payphone, probability calling a mechanic.

  • @PatrickBaptist
    @PatrickBaptist 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The real fall of the yugo was their dealings with fiat, what garbage, they made GM and dodge look good till dodge wound up owned by fiat that is lol. But lets face it, yugo of then is a far cry much better of a reliable product than any company produces these days, especially EVs and tesla lol, I'd pay a new car price for the yugo before I'd take a tesla for free.

    @draganvelimirovic5990 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You have a very weak ability to intellectually observe facts. Did you
    perhaps hear about the affair with the Ford Pinto, which was called
    the crematorium... It is best for you to turn to business with
    chickens or piglets, provided that it is not too complicated for you,
    definitely, the auto industry is too complex for you... 1. The engine
    for Juga is an Italian product, which was made under license in Spain
    / Seat / and in Yugoslavia...The Italians took 1 car each from Seat
    and from Yugoslavia and drove them for 100,000 km, and then they
    opened them at the Fiat factory and it turned out that the Yugoslav
    one was better and of better quality... 2.It is a super-square engine
    by concept, which means that the stroke of the piston is smaller than
    the diameter of the piston, and this immediately achieves the
    longevity and reliability of the engine, especially since it had a
    camshaft in the engine head, which gives precise and fast valve
    guidance. . 3. Maintaining that engine is very simple and easy...Those
    engines are known for their longevity and economy, and the Italians
    redesigned that engine again with the help of computer calculations
    and significantly reduced fuel consumption and emissions...
