I bought a Yugo in ‘86. It was actually fun to drive. We got rid of it shortly after the side mirror fell off when we shut the door.
I almost bought a Yugo, but my wife told me “Yugo straight to hell if you think I’m driving that”
It’s funny how car advertisements always talk about a car being exciting or thrilling to drive.
You want thrilling, try driving the NJ Turnpike at 80 mph in a 30-year-old Volkswagen Bug with suspect brakes. That’s thrilling! Exciting is barreling down a mountain like a bat out of hell in an out-of-control Renault R-4, so you will have enough momentum to get up the other side without shifting into first gear. Stimulating is a Volkswagen Campmobile Bus in a crosswind.
People just don’t know how to have fun!
My brother loved his yugo, the thing was good on gas and he got about eight to ten years off of it with only one major repair (tranmission). He bought the car for 4K, got 800 trade in and eight pretty cheap years..
If I could buy a new Yugo I would..
My buddy had one. Lasted about 7k miles before it started to have serious problems.
He loved it and he didn’t mind hitting small trees and driving it through corn fields.
That’s not as bad as a clutch pedal falling off ...’64 Beetle...pedal fell off in about ‘74 I think. LOL
It’s a piece of junk and the company can’t make any money? I’m surprised congress isn’t giving them a bailout...
