"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.
Well, what did you expect? That he would be talking about the famous Ford Pinto? A car which Ford refused to recall and save tens and tens of lives, for a cost of SEVEN DOLLARS per car? Or did you expect him to speak about GM's infamous ignition switch, for which again GM refused to issue a recall, directly leading to the death of 124 innocent people?
@@nomayor1 well, the pinto was unsafe and all, but when you haven’t slapped it’s ass the thing drives okay. About as okay as an old station wagon could be.
@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...
@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. :-)
@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.
I am from the land of the Yugo and I'd love to see it restored. I think this is one of the rare cars that falls into the "It's so bad it's actually good" category.

@@A_Ducky The thing is, you can't really fix a lot of things nowadays. Cars are mostly electronics, you can't fix them without using expensive diagnostic tools. IT companies are fighting to take away the right to repair your own electronics by not releasing schematics for their products (schematics used to come with the product back in the 80s). My parents used the same fridge for 20 years and it worked perfectly, now fridges last as much as the warranty, 5-6 years. It is not the same world anymore.
Being a child born in yugoslavia (slovenia now) my dad had a yugo and it wasnt that bad.. It was the car that motorized our country. Lahko smo ponosni na to kar smo imeli

My dad had one of these when I was a kid. It was Red, he passed in 2013. I miss him, this car brings back a lot of good memories for me growing up in Yugoslavia. Thanks Freddy for working on it and trying to get it back into a good working order.
We had a Yugo on our ranch in central Texas. It was a lot of fun to drive the hell out of. Our family used it to deliver cattle cake to the different pastures, so the cows would run towards it when we drove it, which made it a thrill. (Think of the scene in Jurassic Park when they are running through the field with the heard of ostrich-sized dinosaurs running alongside)
"Think of the scene in Jurassic Park when they are running through the field with the heard of ostrich-sized dinosaurs running alongside" Sorry, somehow thinking of running cows just doesn't get me to quite the same level of awe that the Jurassic park scene (in reality) would. 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.
I had a beetle that was the worst car on the road and I didnt have keys for it, and I also never locked it, and i used a screwdriver to start it, the same screwdriver that I used to jam the window closed, and once I was leaving a mall where the security guards looked in your car to see if you had the keys and when he saw the screwdriver sticking out the ignition he looked at me and was about to talk, and I just said, "If i was going to steal a car, do you really think i would steal this one?" And he looked my car up and down, started laughing and opened the boom to let me out.
@@sillyrat9688 I had sound, but the head unit was in the glove box and the amps were under the seats and the subs had a carpet over them, but, that car was so bad that anyone looking at it was doubtful that it ran, let alone that it had any sound in it.
I would love to see a full restoration of this, like showroom quality example, because, why would anyone ever do that which seems exactly why Tavarish would do it lol.
@@deanromania6748 It's hard to argue against the Trabant being the worst, but in fairness it was improved when the addition of an actual oil sump allowed it to be driven downhill without shifting to neutral.
Back in the mid-80s, when I was about 12 or 13 years old, me and a bunch of my friends picked up a Yugo and carried it into the middle of the street from somebody’s driveway.
LIterally this was the poor man GOLF GTI , and at some point in time the only thing you can afford at that magical and mysterious part of the world called the Balkans :D :D :D
@Blesava Konjina u pravu si. Uz dobro održavanje i normalnu vožnju (da ne cepaš na semaforu kao ludak i da startuješ na zeleno kao da voziš reli) on može mnogo lepo da služi u to sam siguran. Ali ipak, za porodicu je pravi izbor bio 101 ili 128.
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.
@@williamrekow7513, wanna sell one? Lol. I have tried to track my old one down. Even found a couple people had sitting on the road or buried on their driveways. But never found a seller. I doubt these days I'd physically fit in one, but dammit I have fond memories of my old one. Maybe it's just "first car" memories, cause for sure that thing was a POS, but man did 16 y/o me have some fun.
Yeah but look Skodas now, best value for money you can buy in Europe and Zastava doesnt even exist anymore. I cant believe people in my country still talking about Yugo like it's the best car ever made, including my father LOL
I had a girlfriend that loved her Yugo. Her parents considered it a deathtrap and eventually just sold it against her will after all the lights stopped working and nobody knew why.
Initially i was against my grandpa driving a yugo, for his own safety. Then he bought another car and gave the yugo to my father (ex yugo owner) , because he didn't want to bother with selling/insurance / registration / inspection. So, i didn't solve the problem, the problem came closer to me. Usually i refuse to use it, but since i have still a diesel, i use it for really nearby things, instead of clogging uo the diesel for 2 km.
@@facelessnameless5786 tell that to people still driving Yugos in Ex-Yugoslav countries, driving them without any issues at all, you don't know shit about Yugos all you know is American propaganda to hate Yugos
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.
Yo we race this things in Croatia, Serbia, BiH and all ex-yu countries and it is frickin fast when you modify it 😅. You deff should mod it and make it fast(ish) haha
That engine had about 4x more power for it's size than the best american engines from the period, so cut the fun off. It was an engineering marvel compared to most american cars in the 80's.
Me from village near "Kragujevac" watching this: hmmmmmmmmmm interesting Why they criticize a car that is in excellent condition. Well the engine doesn’t work, but it’s nothing so serious.
My dad worked at a Saab dealership and they had a Yugo franchise as well. At the end, when Yugo was going away, they would give you a Yugo if you bought a new Saab. They still had trouble getting rid of them.
When you guys finishing fixing it, you should get Auto Tempest to sponsor you re-shooting the commercial shot for shot. Have Ed try to get it onto three wheels, but maybe shoot that away from any trees.
the yugo has better styling than 90% of the egg shaped things on the road today edit: i wanna know who the madman was in the commercial who drove it around a corner flat out understeering and three wheeling, because that's the kind of car commercials we need now
I never knew a Yugo owner that didn't absolutely love his car. I overhauled the engine in one once. It was just a junky version of a Fiat, which is a junky version of a car.
Couldn't have been any less reliable than my mother's '92 Saab 9000. The only reliable parts of that car were the windshield and seats. Def safer than a Yugo, but probably the same reliability.
@@Pienimusta is old Skoda joke in UK too, even older than Lada jokes. Unfortunately Skoda got good, Lada and Yugo have not been available here for many many years so now we have no cars to make terrible jokes about. This maybe explain why Brexit.
Actually in that car my whole family would fit inside and we would go every year to country next to us by the sea, driving 13 hours and we are 4 kids plus our parents in front seats plus our things for the beach ☺☺☺ That "worst car ever made" as you call it did pretty amazing job for my family and we had it till I turned 18 and than I learned how to drive on our old red Yugo. 😀 It was so heavy to turn left or right but....In that time was really challenging to get a driver licence comparing nowadays. Yugo is real king. : ) God bless Yugo and all Yugoslovenian people! 😍
Yugo driver: 'I can only get to 50 going uphill'. Mechanic: '50? Wow, that's pretty good for a Yugo... what's the problem?' Yugo driver: 'I live at number 60.'
I was in my 20's when this car hit the market. I was living up in CT and a local Cadillac dealer was offering a package deal: buy any new Cadillac from their stock and they would throw in a Yugo for free. It got alot of news in the area.
In NZ Lara replaced the Skoda, how do you double the value of your lada, ? fill the gas tank ... what do you call a Lada with dual exhaust? A wheelbarrow ....
I remember when these were not only "Buy One, Get One" Bro, but they were actually given away as a second car to close the deal on other cars at particularly dealerships. No kidding Bro! 😆 🤣 😂
No, it was named based off of "Yugoslavia" which means "land of the south slavs", Jug (Yug) means South in Serbian. It is a combination of the words "Jug" (South) and "Slaveni" (Slavs), they literally called their country South Slavs. Slovenia apparently means "land of the slavs" and apparently so does Slovakia....

"They happened to have parts for this Yugo" Yep, kinda been sitting on the shelf gathering dust for the last 25yrs. Bet they were wondering whether to throw them out, the day you arrived.
@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.
@Darko Vasić A friend in High school actually had a new one, and another friend had a slightly used one. Rode in the older one once. 0-60 took forever with 3 teen dudes in the car. Still it got around town just fine, and was the only new car a HS kid could afford.
In Bulgaria we change every drive belt on 50 000 km (around 30 000 miles) no matter what is the brand of the car, it's something like a mechanical law, if you want to keep your engine running!
OMFG YEEEEES FINALLY ITS ON HIS CHANNEL. This beautiful little shitbox comes out of my country Serbia and its too much fun to drive these cost arround 1000 euro lol and go fucking hard for that price... Ive seen them drive down stairs, drive with a piece of wood instead of a wheel, fully riced out, done up and street raced lol, theres a guy in my country who put a v8 and im pretty sure that thing almost flew the fuck away when he tried to drag race it lololol. Love this lil thing. Definition of a bucket ♡
Here in Brazil we had FIAT 147. It was pretty similar to YUGO. The exterior/interior almost the same. My mom had 3 of these between 1986 and 1995 AHAHAHA the car of my childhood!!! Looking forward for this build. It's amazing to see dream supercars (Lamborghini / McLaren) and this at the same channel. Thanks Freddy. Keep up the good work ❤🇧🇷
Actually they were both built on the same Fiat 127 platform... and not Fiat 128 as mentioned in the clip. Fiat 128 never got the base 903cc OHV engine as 127 and Yugos. Zastava 101 was based on the Fiat 128, it was basically a 128 hatchback. IMO it even looked much better as the original fiat 128.
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.
I'm from Michigan. The most famous Yugo is at the bottom of the water under the Mackinac Bridge. High winds picked up a lady's Yugo and sent it over the side of the bridge.... as the saying went, Yugo over the bridge.
"we dont even know what size tools we need" he says after finding a tool set that came with the car, branded, with the 4 correct head sizes in metric, that are also labeled on each end. ah yes the good ol' i can't read so ima just try a bunch of sizes and hope they fit.
So, in 6 months we can look forward to - "Welcome to Hoovie's Garage, the dumbest Automotive channel on TH-cam... Today I bought the cheapest and ONLY running and driving Yugo in the United States with the help of AutoTempest..."
i drove a yugo for 5 years, from 2008 to 2013. It was made in 1991. He never betrayed me, I went to the sea with him several times for 400 km in one direction. greetings from Serbia where that car was created
Back in 1989 a woman was driving a Yugo across the Mackinaw Bridge in high winds. The wind was so strong, she was blown off the bridge, and the car sunk to the bottom of the Mackinaw Straights. It took several months to recover her body, since it was in the middle of the winter and the temp of the water and rough waters where a hindrance.
Plenty of people driving Yugos on a daily basis here in Serbia. This was not the worst car ever made, you and other youtubers have been calling it that so that people click on your videos. Mark my words, Yugos will outlive your channel, TH-cam as a platform and humanity as well.
I am from Serbia (Serbia is one of the countries of former Yugoslavia) where this car is produced, and is very nice to see this car all the way in America. This is still very common see car on the road especialy in Serbia, and parts literally can be bought on kiosk, hahahaha im just kiding. Here is parts for this car extremly cheap and can be found very easily.

My grandpa knew not only to fix everything his household needed (including healthcare for man & beast), but also for the entire village of 40 homesteads.
@@A_Ducky The thing is, you can't really fix a lot of things nowadays. Cars are mostly electronics, you can't fix them without using expensive diagnostic tools. IT companies are fighting to take away the right to repair your own electronics by not releasing schematics for their products (schematics used to come with the product back in the 80s). My parents used the same fridge for 20 years and it worked perfectly, now fridges last as much as the warranty, 5-6 years. It is not the same world anymore.

We had a Yugo on our ranch in central Texas. It was a lot of fun to drive the hell out of.
Our family used it to deliver cattle cake to the different pastures, so the cows would run towards it when we drove it, which made it a thrill.
(Think of the scene in Jurassic Park when they are running through the field with the heard of ostrich-sized dinosaurs running alongside)
damn , I almost fell out of chair
:D
"Think of the scene in Jurassic Park when they are running through the field with the heard of ostrich-sized dinosaurs running alongside"
Sorry, somehow thinking of running cows just doesn't get me to quite the same level of awe that the Jurassic park scene (in reality) would. 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.

Anyone ever tell you, that you overthink things?
I had the "Stojadin" Zastava 101; it had more metal in it and you had more possibility to fix it if it fails on the road.
Yugo was the first Smart Car ever. When you park the car in the evening the car is thinking how to screw you in the morning and not to start.
Yugo is a type of car that you never lock because you know nobody will steal it.
To be fair if they steal your Yugo. Well they needed it more then you....or its up the street. One the two.
I had a beetle that was the worst car on the road and I didnt have keys for it, and I also never locked it, and i used a screwdriver to start it, the same screwdriver that I used to jam the window closed, and once I was leaving a mall where the security guards looked in your car to see if you had the keys and when he saw the screwdriver sticking out the ignition he looked at me and was about to talk, and I just said, "If i was going to steal a car, do you really think i would steal this one?" And he looked my car up and down, started laughing and opened the boom to let me out.
And when they steal something they usually just take the radio so thats the only thing tou hide
@@sillyrat9688 I had sound, but the head unit was in the glove box and the amps were under the seats and the subs had a carpet over them, but, that car was so bad that anyone looking at it was doubtful that it ran, let alone that it had any sound in it.

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.

The only car that, when purchased, the dealer would ask if you wanted “paper or plastic”
I had a girlfriend that loved her Yugo. Her parents considered it a deathtrap and eventually just sold it against her will after all the lights stopped working and nobody knew why.
The reason was either the turn signal switch or the light switch.

Initially i was against my grandpa driving a yugo, for his own safety.
Then he bought another car and gave the yugo to my father (ex yugo owner) , because he didn't want to bother with selling/insurance / registration / inspection.
So, i didn't solve the problem, the problem came closer to me.
Usually i refuse to use it, but since i have still a diesel, i use it for really nearby things, instead of clogging uo the diesel for 2 km.

My dad worked at a Saab dealership and they had a Yugo franchise as well. At the end, when Yugo was going away, they would give you a Yugo if you bought a new Saab. They still had trouble getting rid of them.
When you guys finishing fixing it, you should get Auto Tempest to sponsor you re-shooting the commercial shot for shot. Have Ed try to get it onto three wheels, but maybe shoot that away from any trees.

"They happened to have parts for this Yugo" Yep, kinda been sitting on the shelf gathering dust for the last 25yrs. Bet they were wondering whether to throw them out, the day you arrived.
Rock auto have them too. Some of them, you have to send your broken part and they'll rebuild 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.
@Darko Vasić A friend in High school actually had a new one, and another friend had a slightly used one. Rode in the older one once. 0-60 took forever with 3 teen dudes in the car. Still it got around town just fine, and was the only new car a HS kid could afford.

Actually they were both built on the same Fiat 127 platform... and not Fiat 128 as mentioned in the clip. Fiat 128 never got the base 903cc OHV engine as 127 and Yugos.
Zastava 101 was based on the Fiat 128, it was basically a 128 hatchback. IMO it even looked much better as the original fiat 128.
"was that your nickname in school"? I FREAKIN LOL'ed! that big ass grin got me. think it got T too.
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.

Watch the Bett Midler film "Drowning Mona." Everyone in the town drove a Yugo except the tow truck driver.
"we dont even know what size tools we need" he says after finding a tool set that came with the car, branded, with the 4 correct head sizes in metric, that are also labeled on each end.
