1987 Yugo Car commercial - Buy a Little Freedom

[Baltofan95]

Worst car ever made!

[arzuctsc]

A car based in the Fiat 127, that was a very good car, so I think that the Yugo isn't a bad car, but USA weren't ready for little cars (like Yugo, Pinto, Pacer...)

[jakesaintsrow123]

Everyone Needs a Boat ANCHOR Sometime

[luigi2999]

LOL this car was good until it rusted out and got blown off a bridge. Probably came with a free life insurance policy. I wouldn't even sit in one of these things, let alone drive one.

[budmon5587]

Damn thing probably came with a 30 second warranty and a list of tow truck drivers in the area.

[lazoni93]

The best car ever :)

[mitchdfla]

World's first disposable car....what the hell was Yugoslavia thinking here?

[TheAlokinSrb]

Zasto svi pricate engleski kad smo svi srbi ovde?

[88soulsurvivor]

@TheAlokinSrb WHAT??

[luckenbachtx]

@88soulsurvivor He said, We don't all speak English, some of us are Serbs.

[silverboyzzz]

Yugo - You go nowhere? You go straight to the mechanic or junkyard?

[SeberHusky]

I can almost feel the socialistic displacement of the engine now....

[Fordguy02]

$50? That's how much that car is worth now.

[lacktopher]

@Fordguy02 I doubt that it'd be worth as much as $50. Would you buy a 20-year-old Yugo for $50?

[Fordguy02]

@lacktopher I knew a guy that says he got a Yugo one time for $75. I might buy one for $50 for the hell of it, I'm sure I can make atleast $100 if I sold it for scrap.

[IanEduardoMeneses]

Yugonowhere

[159conor]

Good for scrapage charge.old fiat 500 or panda much better peoples car as at least there not water solouble like the yugo and are SOO much cooler and last longer

[Pero3000]

kupim znaci juga sa 100 dindzi i dobijem 50 dolara od njih, do jaja

[DrSurprise]

buy yourself a big headache!

[jriley1992]

The car had a rear window defroster, but it was used to keep your hands warm while you were pushing it.

[jakesaintsrow123]

Yes  a Little Freedom To get Out and see the senerey while Pushing you YUGO

[faffaflunkie]

Frank Yanko's Pontiac, Cadillac and Lemon, er.... Yugo.

[tramvaj12]

I have model from 84. Just changed some expandable part and a little maintain of body of car and it is starting at -25C Never changed anything on engine. And it is going no meatier how bad is the fuel. Germans Car get broken by the bad fuel and You go with Yugo.

[libed91]

they give you 50 dollars in cash when you buy a yugo and that money is ment for a bus ticket back home.

[uzsz]

My god 5000bugs for a yugo?!!!!!

[SauceCaptain]

It's ok they died ... no we have Suzuki ... same thing

[kevinhjoy]

Yugo. No you go.

[ThreeCatsScratching]

wow $50 cash back!!!

[baznian]

You Go , the car don't ! haha

[refreffify]

He had to go through that puddle or the engine would have caught on fire. What a piece of &@$@.

[KkF00]

WHOA, DID IT JUST DRIVE THROUGH A PUDDLE AND STILL RUN...

[derkommissar1917]

Worst ad campaign slogan of all time, hands down. Buy yourself a little freedom...with a car made in a Communist country!

[Luka464]

@derkommissar1917 Yugoslavia was a socialist NOT Communist country.. Everyone had jobs and free health insurance and cars!

[cesidkg]

@derkommissar1917 Sloboda koja je postojala u tom sistemu u toj republici je najvisi stepen slobode koji je postojao ikad igde na svetu. Sve je bilo dozvoljeno, mogao si bezbedno spavati u parku, na klupi, putovati gde god pozelis. De Niro je primer koji je to osetio. Svako je radio, imao novca vise nego sto je mogao da potrosi, socijalno, stan, kucu, auto, odmor, letovanje, zimovanje... To je bila jedna drzava sa 6 republika, dve pokrajine, 3 religije i jednom idejom: bratstvom-jedinstvom.

[fueledbymusic3]

I remember those were typically advertised for $3995 brand new. At that time, there were Hyundai Excels for $5995. And the average price for a name brand car Toyota, Nissan etc. was about $7999 in the 80's. BUT NOW THE AVERAGE IS $15999 for a Corolla

im from croatia...these cars are undestroyable

[theoriginalstig7]

tougher to destroy than morris marina my top gear fans :) it would actualy it would destroy itself before you drop a piano on it

[theoriginalstig7]

tougher to destroy than morris marina my top gear fans :)

[JPTHRICE]

you get all the ladys with this one

[owl1970]

I lost my virginity to my soccer coach in the back of one of those when I was 15.

[NiallatUTube]

Buy a Little Freedom - Buy a Lot of Problems!

[MultiMagnum94]

@NiallatUTube PUSI KURAC MAJMUNE

[krupljaninz]

@owl1970

way to go, buy a little freedom buy a yugo!

[dressshoeguy]

What a great jingle. Buy yourself a little freedom they say. Anything to sell a truly great example of an honest to not goodness piece of crap car. Makes a Ford Pinto look superior by comparison, oh now here is a strong suit for the Yugo, it would never explode in a rear end accident.

[Sekulamix]

I got stronger by pushing my YUGO so it is a good car for staying fit :D

[toddstewart1962]

A Rabbit body with a Fiat engine....

[DrSurprise]

this car is crap, it makes Daewoo look like a good car

[musclecarpower]

these are a coffin on wheels

[talshiarr]

Buy a little freedom? By buying a tin can with wheels made in a then-communist country? Wow. Just wow.

[Supergungun]

In 1964 that could have almost bought me a Series 62 Cadillac Coupe!

[landyachtfan79]

BUY YOURSELF A MAJOR HEADACHE!!!!!!!!!

[uvlajzakonje]

what a fucking song, i like it... :)

[wesdsomething]

hahaaaaaaaaaaa

[IDIDieselJohn]

What ever happen to these cars? I've only seen one in my life, in a museum.

[kristianfrajer]

@IDIDieselJohn

what happened? Nothing it's a piece of shit,the worst car in the world I think.

You can see it in croatia,serbia ,but it's better that you do not see it . hahaha

[MaddDogg81]

wtf who wants a Yugo

[misa12348]

@MaddDogg81 your mom

[AGHVFA]

Wow, $50 cash back.? Back then that must have been ALOT!

[Dog328]

Speaking of Freedom in a Car ad for an Car made by communists feels a bit wrong.

[AdrianoCROST]

@Dog328 There was more freedom for a decent people in ex YU than in shitty demoncratic countries that was part of exYU. Demoncracy is too much freedom created from majority for majority. HIGHWAY TO HELL ;-)

U.S.A. fairy tale about democracy was a big help for democrat & faschist retards to destroy Yugoslavia. Now they are not so loud and most of them are not so hatefull against exYU. Now they see LIES about freedom and other DEMONcratic crap.

[MattTheSaiyan]

Shame about the built-quality, it's kinda cute-looking car!

[AntacidForTheMind]

I walked into a Yugo dealership in 1986 to test drive one. They wouldn't let me test drive it. Basically, if I wanted to buy it, I had to be satisfied with just looking at it. LOL. Needless to say, I'm glad I didn't buy it.

[Adam19822000]

@AntacidForTheMind Can't imagine why :)

[MercuryMorrison1]

Disposable Cars.

[jsrosa1282]

I'd love to see a Yugo run into my mother's Volvo XC70. Let's find out who'd win that match!

[TheMarkoman93]

at 0:18 they stop filming the commercial because yugos engine probably failed when it touched the water

[dadsoldtapes]

Haaaaaahhhhhhh... give yourself a little freedom and watch you and your Yugo get blown off the Mackinac Bridge like that poor woman in 1989.

[frohman3]

Ironic that it's made in a single party state. xD

[frohman3]

(correction) former single party state

[loganwilson101]

Shitty ass car

[ducati135]

or any other car under 5k? Where day at?

[TheChallenger9]

YuGo!!! the best cars are from 81-91's before begging of the war. It's a car with the best manual transmission ever. mine is with 215 462mp and still goin'!

[hpspeedster]

"all new Yugo"? yea,that was a stretch.Same old same old.

[jetboy33]

I parked my Yugo, and put the Club on the steering wheel. Someone broke in and stole The Club.

[101francis101]

Why not just buy a good second hand car?

[jujutube123]

You Go!

[krt1ca]

they pay you 50$ to take it

[krt1ca]

here in serbia most cars are yugos like this :)

[fuzzaun]

Yugo sucks ass, ex: The 87 yugo that flew off the Mackinac bridge.

[PitBullSerbian]

I really hate Yugo America (45A, 55A) and Yugo Ciao.

The best Yugo is Koral 1.3 65 innoccenti (for Italy) and Yugo 1.3 EFi einspritz 65. And offcorse CABRIO <3 =)

Yugo can be a nice car

[EllaMaeMonroe]

bilo kuda - yugo svuda =)

my yugo is 21 years old and running smoothly, and it's the funkiest car ever!

[hylander89]

consumer reports from a 1988 magazine issue said that the car would even stall when warm shifting was BALKY and its reliability was MUCH worse than average haha wow great value?! hahahaah no offense to you enthusiasts out there!

[Doomsday2060]

YUGO YUGO YUGO ZASTAVA ZASTOVSKI

[Helicon2112]

Smart car vs Yugo in a head on collision, which one would win?

[dalekrueger]

1965 chrysler imperal vs YUGO who would win?

[Helicon2112]

Hands down, an Imperial would cut a Yugo in half.

[whattheheck1000]

Imperial wins against anything its size or smaller

[jakesaintsrow123]

lol buy yourself a little freedom??? more like buy yourself a little lemon....50$ cash for a test drive?? 50$common thats all the car was worth...these were horrible cars

[cybersarma86]

YU =GO

[yugo91aesop]

man this car was awesome

[DamnStraightM35A2]

whats the deal woth the beginning? does anyone notice the the guy in the car grabs the keys but the car starts to move before his hand can even put them in the ignition?

Cheap car, cheap commercials

[Helicon2112]

A Little beer can shitbox.  Today's Yugo is the Smart Car. These cars are for people who don't value their own life. Can you imagine these cars getting rear ended by a semi?

[hylander89]

actually: look at the crash reports man.... they perform VERY well. and designed and made by Mercedes, they ought to be.

[Helicon2112]

Even if the Smart is made by Mercedes it would still get obliterated in a head on crash with a sedan or truck. Don't forget they crash test these things at 40 MPH into stationary objects. In a real life head on collision it would be the equivalent of an 80 MPH crash if the other car was going the same speed. I've seen people with little kids in the back of one of those Smart cars. The may as well have just strapped them to the rear bumper. It's insane.

[hylander89]

hey dude, those are two seaters thats illegal PLUS where would you strap them? ur right about the crashes though. and from the side, it still sucked lol i would never buy one on account that for a little more money and the same mileage: you can have a 4 seater 4 door prius

[Helicon2112]

Maybe the kids were sitting in the trunk. LOL If there is one. Some things just aren't worth the risk. Frankly I think those cars are ugly as sin. I wouldn't want people laughing at my ride. LOL

[hylander89]

haha I like the prius better anyways.... I drove one once and every thing was super sensitive everything from brakes and gas pedal to what seemed like the steering. to be honest, they drive similar to a shortened minivan haha but thats not all bad hahah!

[Helicon2112]

But the prius is still ugly my friend. You gotta know it's kind of an ugly car. I wish they'd make a hybrid that looks like a Vette. For some reason they always give those cars an odd shape. I have to balance looks with drivability. I'd really like to have a new Vette. I've always wanted one, but unfortunately the only people I see driving them are old farts trying to look cool and I don't want to look like some guy going through a mid life crisis.

It's a shame.

[hylander89]

well but when are gasmisers that good looking? that is except my 96 cavi Z24 now that car was good on gas, had decent looks, got up and went FAST for bein litte, and had a feel on the road that I couldnt get enough of. another worthy meantion is the Neon SRT-4

[Lacoqu]

Ppl Yea its a small engine and all but you cant say its not fun to ride it...

[VolkswagenGolf1400]

Yugos are good! At lest it's easy to crash with it.

[ethen24]

Yugo dominates everything! More reliable than a Ford! lol

[dhprince]

At least it's easy to push.

[clarajanny]

this comment made my day XD

[gundamWWW]

I think the Americans and NATO destroyed every last Yugo during the Bosnian Wars and the Kosvo wars...

[144Funky]

@dhprince when he dont want to turn on

[to84mo]

Brate nas jugo gde nije stigo jebiga kadsmo najbolji..

[MoonBXx]

I REMEMBER THIS COMMERCIAL

[krt1ca]

ur old one?

[MoonBXx]

@krt1ca

No, but my mom recorded some old CBS kid shows for me, and this commercial was on it. But its different, there was no talking

[MaurizioM89]

that car sold in america was bad, in that period the littlest american car has at least 3.0 liter engine! the zastava yugo has a 0.85 liter, derived from fiat 127: a 25 years old engine!

[dodgecrazy1970]

What about the K-Car? It had a 2.2L and a 2.5L engine not a 3.0L.

[whattheheck1000]

Not 3.0 . About 1.8 or so,

[2jzgtejza80]

Yugo XT 1.3 75hp USA

Yugo Koral 1.1 60hp/55hp

Yugo Florida 1.4 75hp/90hp-16v(only EX-YU)

[sideslide23]

this car haul ass compare to my skateboard. pro: it would make it a great practice target, it would look great in the porn star backround, the car would be fun to take on the airplane and push it off the plane and watch it smash into a ground.

Cons; the engine blew up on me on the highway, and then I got a ticket for driving too slow, on the freeway. I would only recommend this car to people who has little money and they liver closser to work to school to everything whare cars are not needed.

[kviminavac]

Da ti crkne sve sto imas i dabogda ti cerka duvala lepak

[landyachtfan79]

Buy yourself a major headache!

[AvroRL201]

Yugos are Great !!

[tallboyyyy]

Paper weights;)

[kstarpictures]

"Buy a Little Freedom... from an oppressive Communist regime!" LOL irony. It is, however, interesting this happened as a result of lesser East/West tensions.

State-ran automakers always suck. French owned Renault practically ruined AMC under its partnership. Oh, and of course, the US isn't immune either... just look at General Motors and Chrysler now.

[cuzdaGreat1saidso]

your grandmother is an oppressive communist....but you're absolutely right about state run automakers. most of them are complete garbage

[Stoneycrab]

The sad thing is its basicly a rebadged Fiat,

start with a unreliable Italian design, cut some costs here and there by using inferior materials, and round it off with quality former Soviet manufacturing plants.

What could be better!?

[janhr1]

No, not Yugo...Our older cars have, but not this one...This one was completely designed in Yugoslavia, only the engin was like in some older FIAT's...

And it is a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig insult for Yugoslavia to interfear us with Soviets...Did you ever know that we even weren't i Warsawa Packt...Us and Soviets hated each other since 1947....

So, before you try being sooo smart, read some history books and facts before...

God, I hate weak american educational sistem...

[slimv29]

it did have some fiat influence though

[rf11404]

How could they park such a piece of Junk at Frank Yanco's Cadillac dealership?

[lothartheterrible]

Toward the end, the Ford dealer I used to work at were giving away a free Yugo with the purchase of every new Crown Victoria or F150. I once saw an airbag deployed under one of these Tonka toys; it lifted it up a good 3 inches off the ground.

[t0xictreasure]

i know nothing about this car,but i like it!

[Danman1971]

We will give you $50 cash if you buy this p.o.s

[SharinganEye665]

Yugo Pwns

[slowscort]

did you know that in a yugo a radio was an option that they charged you 250 dollars extra to have one? thats what i call luxery

[RushAndRuleIt]

That doesn't make sense.  You could actually buy a pretty nice aftermarket radio for that much, even today. Factory options are so overpriced!

[brockenhodenjohnny]

that´s what i call a car!

[Leveractionjake]

The once a year disposable cars.
