  • I understand that for the price you can't expect much of the quality, performance or space but a brand new car that has it's wheels out of alignment and a driver's seat that doesn't stay in it's place are just dangerous.

  • a golf tdi twin cam is good.

  • you go, car stays.

  • Koji je ovo k**** Yugo je najbolji auto na svitu

  • pfft a Honda Civic then got ebtter gas mileage and is better

  • it's cheap because it's, well cheap

  • POS. HOw cheao would you have to be to buy one. Get a Civic

  • you know,i dont think people ever understood yugo.it was a 4thousand dollar car new,what do you expect for that price?if you wanted better quality,you have to pay for it.if you want a first car to get to your first job or school and wanted something new for cheap,then yugo was your car,not to mention,they were somewhat popular at that time for whatever reason.i dont think there was a street u go down whithout seeing one.

  • well consider the fact that this are Americans reviewing a socialist car......a "socialist" car,so what do you expect,of course its trash because it comes from a country that was far more better then the U.S

  • @MARXCCCP  Seriously? I give you an internet LOL

  • @rojman123 yeah and for that you took my country

  • MATER LI MU JEBEM, UZELI NEKI RASTIMOVANI JUGO PA KENJAJU DZUBRAD JEDNA

  • Awesome. It seems like they could have made sure the news crew got a good Yugo. This was seemed to be eighty percent done. It had fit and finish problems expected but the alignment and motor were like a Usedgo.

  • Even RUBSH American yank tanks are better safer and slightly better fuel

  • Don't want safety equipment in that car I don't want to be pulled out of the reckage of that I perfere to end it

  • Ovaj auto je govno. Radije bih ubod nožem ja osobno in oko sa rđav vilica nego voziti neki

  • Ok, for all of you ex-Yugoslavians here that are touting the Yugo's praises.....can you people please keep in mind that, in the US at that time, there were other options that were better equipped and more fuel efficient than the Yugo for a price that was slightly more comparitively. The Geo Metro and Hyundai Excel both were better options than the Yugo, which isn't exactly a good thing.

  • the seats were made by ramiz sadiku

  • What a tool. I bet half the people on here have a car that's out of alignment and don't even know it. It's cheap transportation, not an ego trip that most people try to make their cars into.

  • go yugo

  • Wow, so they do have engines!

  • Whoever says yugo is bad should compare it to other brilliant cars amercians never got a chance to drive. The obvious choice would be a Trabant 601, Wartburg Knight, Zaporozec 968 and so on, cars americans never got a chance to drive.

    As an owner of a 1989 yugo I can say all things said in this review are correct, it does have problems with cold starts, small boot and noisy cabin, but I can forgive that because it is cheap to buy, repair and drive.

  • @chupo92 Right off the bat, your initial paragraph explains WHY the Americans hated the Yugo. You're comparing it to cars made in the Eastern Bloc at the time. The Yugo 45 was sold in a market that had to deal with the likes of the Hyundai Excel, Geo Metro, Suzuki Swift and even the Ford Escort and Toyota Tercel. You can't make a car like the Yugo 45 and expect it to be even remotely competitive against that kind of competition.

  • I was in the midst of gowing up when the YUGO was sold in USA, or North America. I will never forget how Consumer Reports and other companies rated it! One would say that the YUGO received an "F" rating! But then, this is just basic transportation. In any case, this was one of the vehicles that people "loved to hate"!

  • Yugo out of americalol

  • what a crappy car - but ppl still drive them in serbia lol

  • My dad said that when these cars came out, he saw them all over the place on the side of the expressway overheated.

  • Have a hard time believing a 1.1 liter getting only 26 MPG. Were they racing gears and making constant stops? My 92 VW GTI 16v with a 2 liter and mods gets about the same if I drive mostly highway but still mixed with city. Makes little sense.

  • @djkenny It was an old 1.1 with old Fiat engineering behind it with Yugoslavian specs. Plus it had a carburateur, not fuel injected. The poor gas mileage is justified in that aspect because it prodced very little power, meaning you had to always rev the engine to get to the speed you wanted.

  • Well, it's shit, but the whole Balkan drives it for 30 years, and will probably do the same in the next 30 years to come... And don't worry, no one has never DIED because of its seat problems, and loud engine... At least, you can buy parts for it everywhere!

    Also, if you know the least about mechanics, you should be able to fix it yourself, and with a new car, when the electronics fail, you can look at it and cry... Doesn't require special gas... Almost goes whit out it's engine... Miracle car

  • @ObrenNBG No, it's not a miracle car. It was a car made to fit the necessities of the Eastern Bloc. Because there was such a shortage of technical knowhow at the time in that part of the world, cars HAD to be made so simplistic that anyone could fix it. In the US, that's not much of an issue. Mechanics with technical experience are easy to find and fairly inexpensive due to competition in the area.

  • @luso2kx Dude, I wrote "miracle car", sarcastically... No, there was not shortage of technical knowhow, there was shortage of money... Actually, it is not much better today... Which means, there are gone be around in the next decade or two... I don't own one, but I know people who do... Cheap registration and insurance, "low" fuel economy, cheap and well distributed parts... In a pour country, such as mine, that is the most inportant thing for someone who needs a transport from A to B...

  • @ObrenNBG Point taken. After reading successive comments from people who sing praises about the Zastava, I mistakingly put you in that group. My bad :)

  • wow, this car is the king of shit! with all this stuff that is crap and could possibly kill you, you'd have to be suicidal to buy a yugo! Yugo makes Daewoo look like its a good car! If i was stuck with a Yugo or Daewoo Leganza, i'd pick the Daewoo even though that too is crap!

  • Yugo Rules... It is a cheap great car...The 900cc model is very economical and strong enough... The amounts on the video about fuel consumption is not correct... lies....

  • 1.05 the car won't start because the guy is flooding the engine. just pull the choke and turn the key without pressing the accelerator pedal and he will fire up in instant

  • @colinmcrae100 We are talking about a Yugo, here, remember?!!

  • @landyachtfan79 yes, I know we are, I owned one some time ago :-) hehehe but seriously, we all know that Yugo wasn't a good, fast, or comfortable car. but despite the "child deseases" it had, the base mechanics was good (everything from Fiat), and the people here (ex Yugoslavia) liked it because of that simplicity. you could fix it with plain screwdriver and some wire :-) although here in Croatia they stopped importing Yugo's in 1991. (war) there's plenty of them still on the road today.

  • @landyachtfan79 The McLaren F1 is a lot better than this car.

  • @MrWarmachine85 ANYTHING is better than this car!!!!!!!

  • fuck him, can't even start the car properly. mine yugo starts fires up in one turn even on -20. dumb fuck. ''our test luggage'', ''padded dash'', ''dash light dimmer''. fuck this car is for someone who needs a plain transport form point A to point B and that's what yugo does, it's not to serve as a status simbol... darn there are people who would today rather buy this car than a big pile of electronics

  • @uvlajzakonje Yeah, not like you could get something like, say, a Geo Metro that was better built, better equipped and more fuel efficient for a price that wasn't too far off from the Yugo.........................o­h wait...................YES, YOU COULD.

  • @luso2kx so the fuck what? first of all nobody forced the americans to buy yugo. second yes they had a choice, i don't say yugo is the best car, far from that, but the car was appealing to people though it wasn't very stylish. i would rather buy a yugo now because it ceartinly wouldn't leave me on the road, and it's easy to repair. i've sold my yugo, though now i'm driving a zastava 101. i like the cars, they do the job. and i don't think that maintenance for suzuki is cheap as yugo's was...

  • @uvlajzakonje Suzuki maintainence probably wasn't as cheap as Yugo's was in the states, but then again, you could find more Suzuki mechanics in the states than Yugo/Fiat mechanics. And my point remains the same. The Yugo 45 entered a market that it couldn't fit into. Americans, in general, will dispense the cheapest option in favor for the better one.

  • @uvlajzakonje No,fuck you.ill take my 5000 and buy a used civic or corolla and drive it for 300,000 miles and never have to worry bout it not starting,the seat sliding forward in its track and basically falling apart as i drive it.get real,Yugos were the biggest pieces of shit ever made and youll never convince me otherwise

  • @ohguy1991 u mad bro? look man i don't give a shit what you think. i've got 3 cars, and yes one of them is a yugo (200kkm) as i have previously mentioned. this winter in my country was one of the worst with temperatures going as low as -30C. guess who had no problems with starting the car. of all the yugos i've seen and driven none of them was ''this bad'' as the one in the video. all i wanna say is if it somebody wrote pussy on the wall will you try to jam your dick inside?

  • @uvlajzakonje Wow good come back.yeah thats what id do.they were just reporting what they found in there test.as i said id never pay 5 grand for a car that was falling apart when i drove of the lot.and yeah im mad,mad i dont own one of the shitiest cars ever made

  • what a horrific car. horrible in every way

  • what does this idiot want of car from 80's....american cars is same plastic shit,maybe worse

    only germans can make a car

  • that car probly lasted 20

  • Perhaps this car was so bad, it's good?

  • it was a solidly good car for that days, but it had one really big drawback: production quality

  • what a piece of crap.

  • What a hunk of crap these "cars" were. I cannot believe they were ever able to be sold here. You could never get away with a "car" like this nowadays. It makes the Chevy Aveo look like a Lexus LS460

  • white boy getting jiggy with that dimmer switch at :56. That's a dope beat, yo. I'm gonna go buy a Yugo just for that feature.

  • @MaximusRelaximus yo you made my day with that comment lmao

  • Can you immagine that people stll drive this piece of crap? Most noticable are the "spušten do groba*" look & a 50$ total stereo system. The "Dara Bubamara" songs screaming out od 5$ speakers completes te picture.

    *Lowered to the grave.

  • @andreacro Možeš li zamislit Balkanca kako priča na engliski i ubacuje riječi poput "spušten do groba" i "Dara Bubamara" ? Misliš da znaju što to znači i da ih zanima ? Drugo taj auto je bio skroz OK za svoju cijenu što god vi kenjali. Manje više jednake kenjaže kao Yugo su se prodavale za puno više novca.

  • Jeeze! What a horrible car!

  • sta oce ovaj peder nije to krajsler

  • @VladBlok28 realno.. jebeni ameri jedu govna... mada ko zna sta su oni pre snimanja uradili da mu sjebu totalno reputaciju... jugo nece dugo, al da ga imam u njemu bih ziveo

  • @VladBlok28 Ma daj bre ne seri!Pa ako nije krajsler ne mora da bude bas ovoliko sranje!Sve se raspada a nov je!Problem kod nas srba je sto za sve imamo odgovor!Yugo je kanta da nema gore i sramota je da cak i auto koji izvozimo ne lici ni na sta,raspada se!Dzabe se sramotimo a i ti se sramotis!kakav odgovor"sta oce ovaj peder nije to krajsler"/Cuti i pokrij se usima bolje!

  • @jimmyhumuhumu1 Srecom pa si ti tako pametan da mi razjasnis.

    Inace, ako nisi znao, Yugo se prodavao u najjeftinijoj klasi a mislim da je cak i bio najjeftiniji auto koji je mogao da se kupi u svoje vreme na americkom trzistu. I kvalitet je bio sasvim na mestu uzimajuci u obzir njegovu CENU. Koliko para toliko muzike, ne vidim sta ti tu nije jasno. PS Yugo koji se izvozio osamdesetih u ameriku nije istog kvaliteta kao Yugo koji se proizvodio za nas posle svih ratova i sranja, eto i to da znas.

  • @VladBlok28 većina krajslera su govno, posebno iz tog perioda a najbolje da je jugu ok handling, pa da po američkim kriterijumima do 2010. i jeste

  • you stupid americans !!! yugo 45 is the car of 20st.!!

  • I was wondering if you guys would do me a favor. Could you please add a 'Bob Mayer' tag to this piece so it can be picked up by those doing 'Bob Mayer' searches? Thanks,

  • Comment removed

  • If there is any more doubt as to what a piece of shit the Yugo was, one viewing of this video will INSTANTLY remove it!!!!!!!!

  • A friend and I just bought a '91 gv in pretty good shape with the 1.3, and we just watched this twice. Phenomenal! Thanks.

  • if car ownes you yugo is not for you but if you owned the car thats the perfect car for you

  • the restoration of this video is amazing

  • There wasent much restoration, it was just on a betacam tape...i just copied it over.

  • well still a job well done

  • Thank You!

  • ya awesome! you really helped me understand what a yugo koral is like, so i thank you for that!

    ps. could you maybe put a vid about the skala 55?

    plz and thnks

  • Lol! I can't believe cars were such crap back then! 5K?? That's like 20K now, yikes!

  • Did you know that this same Yugo (with bigger bumpers and few more plastic parts changed) was being produced till few months ago!!! That ended in November 2008. I hate this car (if you can call it a car). I am from Serbia (Yugo's home) and I got my driving license by taking driving lessons on this car and by taking driving test on this car. So it was the first car I have ever driven. After that, any car (even those 20 years old) feels like driving a spaceship! :)

  • Mars,picko prodana!!!!!!!!Pusis americki kurac ovde,jebem ti mamu u pizdu.

  • To patrioto! Ako iko pusi kurac ovde to si ti! I to dok pusis kurac jednoj stranci, druga te razvaljuje od pozadi, a Mishkovic spreda prska po ocima pa si zato slep i pored ociju jebem te blentavog, zivi za Yuga i umri za njega jadnice!

  • Yugo is cool car!!!!!!!!
