I had a Fiat X1/9 back in the day. Spent more time UNDER it than IN it!........................
My brother worked at a Chrysler Plymouth dealer that briefly sold Yugos. He told me that most of the time they had to be pushed off the car carrier when they were delivered and that the engine ran so rough that the bolt that held the distributor would loosen up changing the timing as you drove eventually causing the engine to die and leave you on the side of the road. The mechanics got to where they had to tack weld the bolt so it wouldn’t loosen up. What junk!
