I drove this thing, Soviet build Uaz, over 10000 km during my military service back in 80's. Very simple piece of equipment. To service it you only needed a hammer and a sickle. On the road it was hideous but it was magnificen off roader. It almost climbed on a tree and run well in 1m deep snow. I hated it every second.
"... Hammer and a sickle..." That's hilarious. I love your humor.
zero power, zero reliability, zero defense from anything. great military vehicle
@@mikeferster7966 minus the reliability... it was reliable... are you really that naive to think that the Soviet army would adobt a widely used vehicle that's not reliable? Literally punching themselves... no. It was highly reliable
Czech army still uses over 600 hundreds of UAZs...the same ones that USSR sent back in the 70s or 80s :D
What obaut new Ford mustang has taken only 2 stars in euro ncap car crash test and Russian lada vesta has taken 4 stars .
We have a lot of these in Africa and I have travelled in them on some of the toughest roads imaginable. In fact I struggle to make sense of some of the terrains this little 4x4 has conquered. It's not comfortable or speedy but when it starts it doesn't stop. Nothing stands on its way.
In short: It's a terrible car, but a great little tractor.
every word is 100% correct. I couldn't have written this better.
When youre in the military and being shot at or in danger of getting shredded by a guided missile from a ground attack plane you value getting to safety more than comfort .
Where in Africa? Because in my corner, I have never seen this crap. Not even in our military. I guess you're somewhere in east or central Africa?
@@Silver_o Popular in Guinea and other French West African countries. Again they are not built to attract but work and work very hard.
That's a UAZ-469 and it was designed to be a military vehicle: Rugged, bare bones in terms of features, reliable and easy to maintain. From what I've read the UAZ-469 was an absolute monster offroad and when it came to climbing. Clarkson looking for features like adjustable seats on it is like looking for 0-60 mph in 3,5 seconds acceleration on a lorry.
I rented the civilian version, the UAZ Hunter, last year for a one week roadtrip in Kyrgyzstan. I've got to say, that this car is extremely basic and did not even have a heater for the cabin! But, it was such a joy driving it, the steering gear has a bit of slack and it makes a bit more noise compared to other cars, but it still handled pretty well and it took me whereever I pointed it. :D
This is UAZ 469. It is still very popular in Russia and ex Soviet republics. Just because it can pass EVERYWHERE. This car do not require roads, but only directions. Also easy to fix, even in the middle of tundra. Parts are indeed cheap.
It's also true that you still see a lot of people still driving Ladas in places like Ukraine, Russia & the other ex Soviet Republics as well. They're still a very common sight in Russia. The GAZ 24 is still a fairly common sight in Russia as well too. Also, is the UAZ 469 the best lightweight 4x4? Why (not)?
Патриоты ни к чему. Хантеры валят
I somehow knew, deep inside my mind that I'd find you here (maybe because RUclips recommended me this video after watching your new one). Most people here agree, your cars are cheap and unstoppable. Best stuff for the fall of mankind.
So is a toyota landcruiser
how is the UAZ Hunter modern it has ho air conditioning
The UAZ 469 is still in production in a modernized civilian version called UAZ Hunter but Jeremy is no longer a top gear host. UAZ got the last laugh!
Dont be so sure, because he will have more freedom and money in every episode of his new car show. I like that.
And the modernized version is no different from the first one.
Grand tour is better than old show
and the windows still can't be opened lol
Because Russia.
When you watch old Clarkson videos like this it really reminds you that he's actually a posh man pretending to be a common man.
That was my thought exactly
they don't allow just anyone in bbc (pun intended)
@@drep-hr8er whats the pun
No. He is a very common man pretending to be posh, as they all did back then. Now he has gone back to being just common, which one can more easily do when one has many millions in the bank.
@@drep-hr8er What's the pun??
I like how Clarkson takes a military jeep made years ago and complains about it not having modern road car features... like the Willys Jeep or the Land Rover would be much different
A brit still having a butthurt after Balaclava Battle, that's rare...
🇷🇺🤜💥🤕🇬🇧
This car entered production in 1972 (about same time GM started to make CUCV for US army). It is still made to this day without substantial changes and sold to public as UAZ Hunter.
@@ThorneyedWT it's still a little military jeep made to be bashed around, not a family car
Clarkson is an a-h
To be fair, I've driven a few UAZ, and it will get you just about anywhere. It's far from being the most reliable car in the world but the off-road performance is truly remarkable!!
You are absolutely right, one of the best off-roaders ever. But what's superb off-road performance for asshole Clarkson, eh?
@@JhnReynolds it is good while you're offroading but after any more or less serious one, you need to almost overhaul the whole vehicle otherwise it won't start next morning
@@alexandrep4913 It isn't that reliable because even tho it's simple the materials used were just cheap, but that's completely fine because it's simplicity also makes it very easy and quick to fix. Just a difference between western and eastern ideologies (quality vs. efficency)
@@JhnReynolds You should justify your sense of humour...or fix it...
well it can be fixed with a tape and some iron wire....
Its a military car build by russians for offroads. You dont need seatbelts, 5th gear or adjustable seats.
Yes, end of WW2 the Germans had to learn that it is uneconomic to build perfect machines tat are destroyed soon
the Russians had learned it
Killerspieler0815 *IS-2
No, you don't need seatbelts offroad, no :D
Offroad means driving with 2 mph constantly. It's not really dangerous
Seats ARE adjustable. With a wrench. You need to unscrew 4 bolts and move a seat to one of the 3(or 4, I dont remember) positions 😀
It not only has a horn, it has also 4 wheel drive, terrain reduction and a differential lock and you can damage your lawn with it.
There is a reason why it is so popular in the German off road scene besides the Lada Niva.
Don't forget the glorious spare fuel tank feature! If you ever overestimate your offroad capabilities and slam one side of the car into a tree cracking one of the fuel tanks or confuse the green monster with a moose when hunting and shoot through one then you can always just toggle a switch on the dashboard to engage the pump in the tank on the opposite side of the vehicle and just keep going.
And did I mention the main battery disconnect switch? Even if your electric system is corroded and full of mud and dirty water you will still never drain the battery through current leakage as you just physically disconnect it from 99.9% of the circuits when parked. It will always be ready to start and go even in the most difficult conditions.
I have traveled in this 🚗 in almost no road conditions... it was a wonderful experience... the car was almost 40 years old but still it was a Stallion....💪
UAZ is a military vehicle, it´s not supposed to be any luxury SUV. I was designed for the mechanics to go fix tanks etc.
*The USSR must have better stuff than that change my mind.*
@@humakhan80 ,what If i told You,that back in the 80's,there was a bunker build in my republic (SSRM) present - Moldova.
It was ment to survive a nuclear blast,but the Soviet Union colapsed and the bunker was no use.
There are 4 types of these doomsday bunkers throughout the whole soviet union
dude even military vehicles have seatbelts and adjustable seats
Or take another one when repair is so compicated
it's not military
Top gear tried to kill a Toyota land cruiser over a couple of series and couldn't. If you want a proper challenge, try kill one of those WD50 jeeps.. like a Nokia 3310, its impossible. These things can last forever! Its basically a AK-47 with wheels.
Toyota hilux
Let's be honest, there's not much that can go wrong on car whose only feature is a horn
+Raul Bajmatara its nothing to do with features, more mechanical. Its why the Land Rover Defender goes forever while a BMW X5 breaks as soon as it goes offroad.
+Jay Romero "its why landrover goes forever" lolercaust
Dude, Top Gear tried to kill a Toyota Hilux Diesel, not a Land Cruiser.
I mean, it is literally a Soviet equivalent to a jeep. I don't know what Clarkson was expecting. It's a military vehicle.
I actually want one of these now
For what?
This thing is a legend. Its a 70's military SUV. Keyword - military. It was never meant for civilian use. Its about as well equipped as its counterparts of the same period yet with far superior off-road capability.
There's better stuff (like a horse).
@@humakhan80 There's something better than a horse (a bycicle).
@@Eli-gr1sg tell that to the japanes and russian bycicle divisions.
@@humakhan80 You were joking, right?
you're wrong - this car is used by civilians too..
"The only thing smooth about it is the spare tire" HAHA

@@paveloknowski1339 russia only produces garbage
Wat a Golden Phrase, that!
"tyre"
That got me too. Lol
I have only one question:
RUclips why you put this in my home page in 2019???!!!
Because that car is still being made till thí day and havent have a plan to stop production
Imagine having this in 2020
to prepare you for the glorious reunification of the USSR and the invasion of 2020.
When you go offroad, then you'll know the difference between UAZ an Land Rover!! UAZ is much better!!!
UAZ must follow the tanks on bad terrain.
But i agree, UAZ is very cheaply made
I don't think this car has syncros, and you have to rev match it yourself, that's why it won't go into gear. And by the looks of it, these types of cars could outlast humanity so calling it the worst car in the world is very wrong.
All military cars of 60s are wrost cars in the world for Geremy Clarkson in his BBC times i think
@@alanmalan3819 He don't double clutch press and do not adopt revs to gear. I have opinion what Clarkson never drove same like military jeeps and old trucks, they no have synchros. It is not a car, it is tool to drive when road is a direction or road is tanks gauge.
@@alanmalan3819 well the brits car not the good
This version of the car does not have a 5th gear.
Met one of these in the army a few years back and it was quite something. It's a true military vehicle - after all, the driver had to wage a constant, losing war against one of the most stubborn gear sticks ever invented. Other features were the canvas roof that was always filled with tiny icicles and the mysterious second fuel tank that no one knew whether it worked and/or did anything. Coupled with other fun misadventures with it such as trying to decipher what the hell all the dials and other gubbins that were either written in Cyrillic (which nobody understood) or post-it note translations said in the middle of the night I could say that this car was certainly an experience.
When ur out in the middle of nowhere you’ll be happy if this showed up
Unless you're the enemy
Varg does not approve of this
based
Neither does Boris!
PURE NEANDERTHAL
Lol
Based and vargpilled
It's easy to compare a car to the vehicles of Europe - faster, more comfortable, more gadgets. But if you are in a country where all you need is something that is easy to repair and can be made to run with whatever you have to hand, then this Russian Jeep is ideal.
I can't believe that, Clarkson was so young...
И Кларксон такой молодой, и юный октябрь впереди
Right? Feels impossible.
)))))))
Не седой ещё))
Смотрел видео, а в голове буквально эта мысль была
Тот вьетнамский бобик пережил карьеру кларксона, и детей его переживет
I had one of those as well, from the former east German army. Yes, terrible on the street, but it's exactly what you need offroad. It'll take you anywhere and you can repair it with scotch tape and a paper clip. Nobody ever said this was a Land Rover. And it most certainly isn't the worst car in the world. It does what it says on the tin and it does so exceptionally well for the price.
Well, the UAZ atleast lasts long.
Sasha:"Should we put windows that roll down on the car? Or maybe 5th gear? Or maybe adjustable seats?"
Ivan:"NYET, THE CAR IS FINE!"
As far as I know this yoke doesn't have a synchronized gearbox. That's why it rattles like that when changing the gear and Clarkson simply doesn't know how to change the gears properly on such a thing. It's a military car and simplicity and reliability (which it used to have) go first, driving comfort second. In the time of war you need a car that won't break and if it does you repair it with minimal means of field conditions. So, Clarkson, learn to double-clutch and try again.
jardabc i have one aswell,if u wanna geat up u have to double clutch and if u want to gear down then rev match and then there no rattle sound and the gear goes easily in,these people dont know anything about uaz
@@henrikondratjev805 they don't know how to drive anything but an dct merc, they really couldn't back then and they can't now
@@LeoMkII you do realize your talking to a 2 year old comment? Chances of him seeing that is pretty damn alim
Plus your comment sounds just so hateful /biased against UAZ
@@LeoMkII no they do how to drive a mannual and double clutch. I think it was more for the sake of entertainment.
He knew all these things but it is well known that Top Gear is completely scripted ahead of time, they purposefully exaggerate and straight make things up to be comedic
Does this man not realize the UAZ-469 is a military vehicle originally designed for both the law enforcement and military forces of the Soviet Union?
It is not a civilian town car by initial design, so unless some firm modifies it extensively and in view of civilian desires, it won't have any frills.
Clarkson could learn to double declutch. The gearbox isn’t bad, it’s just no synchronised. Every older lorry driver could have told that...
The vehicle served it’s purpose exceedingly well and eventually the Vietnamese beat the pants off the USA.
"Avoid it like you would a bubonic rat".....LOL, Jeremy's never short of words.
its simple but a very heavy duty car, relatively reliable and cheap, its great off-road and its at least 50 years old, so the irony is inappropriate here
RPDBY Just the fact that it looks like a poor man's Defender doesn't make it "great off-road".
Frankey2310 or defender looks like UAZ? either way, what makes it a great off-road car is the feedback from those who used it
Frankey2310 UAZ's were and still are great offroaders. I have owned one for 5 years, and i wouldnt wwitch it for anything.Sure its "ugly", doesnt have AC, or enything else, but its workhorse, much better than most SUV's novadays.
RPDBY Фидбек мейкс ит э грейт оффроуд кар. Лол, тогда девятка - это вообще танк-амфибия.
+RPDBY
well its got an engine and transmission that work. i would be happy with it. .hell i ride a bike everywhere cause I'm only 15 and i would jump at the chance to have my own russian rattle wagon!
In the army I have driven quite a few military Volvos of about the same era - and guess what? Everything he said about UAZ can be said about those Volvos - you cannot adjust the seat, 4 gears etc - because it's a fkng military vehicle - it must be reliable, easy to maintain and be able to go anywhere.

My Uncle has one for 20 years in Poland now. For its age its a perl yet the only modification is its gear barrel its a wooden stick from the toilet plunge as the other one warn off and cracked xD He didn't complain about the car he just says for todays standards its a bit slow but still does good
he looks so young its crazy
Well, no "luxury" equipment since its a military vehicle, commonly known as the "Kommandirski", or commandersS vehicle. It's the equivalent of a Willys Jeep, and I want to point out this one has doors.
I can imagine the designers wowed gosplan's mandarins by pointing out they had 4 doors while the imperialist M38 had only cut outs, and thus was an empirical demonstration of the superiority of the soviet system.
We had so many of them in Mozambique. They ran very rough due to crap fuel. They actually looked good though, from about 100 metres
UAZ 469 is a military car not civilian!
+Revolutionary Socialist Media russian military vehicles at the time when this was made were not comfortable, was not needed, you not riding to the store, your storming enemy troops
apcs back then were so cramped people called them coffins
+Revolutionary Socialist Media Even by military car this thing was horrible, exept by the fact it could run on the worst fuel possible, it was verry good in off road and i think it was pretty realible. If you are wondering why it was not good for military use, check out the space in the car, puting 4 or 5 guys there holding they assault rifles would be a nightmare, not to mention if you needed to take extra equipement, or maybe carry a RPK or a SVD. It was pretty good to take soldiers from A to B or for a patrol car in peace times or small conflict zones. It would need a bigger transport vehicle if you want to carry a proper squad fully equiped for combat. However, this is my opinion based on what i know about the vehicle, it does not mean what i'm saying is completly true.
+brunoraoni this car was made roughly 50 years ago back then during the vietnam war road is not a common thing, to travel from one place to another usually off-road or even climbing mountain this car was design for such and it do a good job, swam and mud as well also a major factor how many time the complicate M16 gun fail because of it. also the standard now and then were much different, the US and GB had rapidly raise the standard over the course of the year but back then this is what they think it need, also the standard equipment for solider change as well, the carry load is much more than before. US and UK pushing the envelop of weapon innovation during the cold war and had been involve in other for the last 50 years in middle east also had something to do with it (though instead of using a portion of it to pushing the envelop of infrastructure is much better in my opinion)
+brunoraoni Reliable it was not. The few good thing about this car were its exceptional off road capabilities (for the time), mechanical simplicity, and abundance of spare parts (in the ex-Soviet countries, plus many parts were shared with other Soviet cars and trucks).
The soviet military once calculated, than such a vehicle won't survive more than a few minutes on the battlefield, so they were considered an expendable item, and built as cheaply as possible, so anything that could go wrong, went wrong.
For example, it was completely normal for their engines and gearboxes to leak oil, and every driver knew that if there's no oil leak, there is simply no oil left in the engine.
+Revolutionary Socialist Media
Gelendvagen is also military car - can you compare them? No. Civil UAZ sold much more then military, so its not military any more.
It's actually not uncommon that Soviet t-34 drivers would carry a hammer beside them to whack (literally) the gear lever into place. Just watch any video of someone driving it and you'll see it is extremely hard to shift. This is smooth as butter in comparison!
he didnt double clutch
No the person driving it doesn't have any idea how to operate it
This car doesn't have a synchronized gearbox just like an original jeep or the ford model T. You need to double clutch or sync the gear properly
@@phantomcorsair8476 yes I meant the model A
As for the Willys jeep, i guess my grandpa's one is really worn out. It's really hard to go in gear unless you rev match.
Clarkson is making fun of it, most likely because that the script he has been given, but this vehicle was built for military purposes in the 70s. It is far from perfect or comfortable, but it achieves the idea of driving through rough terrains. I guess when you are at war, the last thing you need is comfort.
UAZ was around long before Clarkson and will remain in production long after he's dead. Easy to build, easy to repair, easy to drive and can pass through almost all sorts of rough terrain.
Actually the UAZ 469 was first produced in 1971, so I think Clarkson might have been around a tad before that...still, Clarkson is generally an ass
Isn't it a UAZ469? It is a military transport akin to a Jeep. Whether it is more or less sophisticated is anyone's guess. On the original Jeep the driver's arse was perched about 4 inches over the petrol tank. It works and you can fix any breakdowns with a hammer, a sickle and baling wire.
I drove a 1986 Toyota Corolla with the same "redeeming" features.
- Doors won't open (I had to enter and exit through the window)
- Windows go down, and when they do, they won't go up anymore
- No spare tire
- the car jack is simply a block of solid wood
- Handbrake doesn't work
- It won't go into 5th gear
- Air Conditioner broken
- No power steering
- Suspension is busted
- Chassis is fractured
- The key fell off the socket while driving. I then realized that you can shove any key and it'll start the ignition.
- Car seats wont adjust
- If the engine revs high enough, the exhaust will enter the car
- brakes need to be pumped to work
- The horn is your only luxury
- Tachometer doesn't work
- Fuel gauge amazingly still works!
- Distributor needs to be sandpapered before starting it
- Side mirrors and rear view mirrors are duct taped and shake as the car is moving.
I can't believe I survived taking that thing to the scrap yard.
cool story bro
Was it sold to you blind, or did they just leave you in the trunk?
It was given to me for free. The owner wasn't offended at all when I drove it straight to the scrap yard. I made a few bucks out of the ordeal.
*****
That's amazing.
Im not sure how the hell anyone managed to ruin an 86 toyota corolla so badly, i have one which i was given, in 100,000km i changed the oil once, radiator once and replaced rear brake shoes and two tyres thats it, car has 470,000km total now.
В юности я на таком учился ездить в автошколе. Сначала велели его часа два мыть, а потом посередине первого выезда он сломался.
I'd love someone to go back to every place that Clarkson went on the original Motorworld and see what they're like now.
it looks like military version of UAZ build before 1990's.
Simple, robust, light and goes off-road like nothing else.
heavy. 2 tonss.
Made so robust it will live forever, fixable with just a fork, indestructible. A true military Jeep
true that fixable with fork haha
I duuno, when this footage was taken, but I love, how every lorry there is an IFA W 50.
The UAZ Hunter and Lada Niva are the only true Off-Roaders left in production in Europe. Japan has the Suzuki Jimny and the USA has the Jeep Wrangler.
Yes it is the worst luxury car in the world. But you can't find better one for offroad. And if it breaks you can fix it with a spoon.
you dont need to fix it
And it breaks all the time 😀
@@dimgav2557 you dont have any shine, what this thing is able to pass with no repairs

He did. A 968.
In the war in the former Yugoslavia the UN had one of these that wouldn't run. It was in territory controlled by the Montenegrins. The UN soldiers asked me if I could take a look at it. When I got to the former army base where it sat I opened the hood. 1942 Dodge! I couldn't believe it. Lend Lease was alive and kicking. The two UN officers made a quick check to be sure it hadn't been booby trapped while I tried to find the problem. Turned out it was your basic high school parking lot prank….coil wire unplugged, plug wires scrambled. I straightened it out and it fired right up. When the Montenegrins at the checkpoint saw me coming they cheered wildly. "It takes an American to fix a Russian car!" shouted one. Although this is not a great jeep it's not hopeless. There are worse cars out there.
so, why dont you do your job and find out that ALL RUSSIAN CARS ARE MADE BY LICENCING AGREEMENT WITH US COMPANIES?
Kamaz is FORD, UAZ is GM - where is the problem? Problem is propaganda and people falling for it. Read the facts. Complete CCCP industrial complex was made in 1930's by AMERICAN ENGINEEERS AND COMPANIES - they even made special "US STYLE" neigbourhoods for the americans to live and not feel homesick.
Keep repeating propaganda it sure makes world better - keeping the ignorance as majority influence on everyday life.

+James Mason It could have been an engine swap.
UAZ is one of the best off-roaders on snow and mud! Never stops
You need to push clutch pedal twice to change the gear (if you don't want to hear that strange sound from transmission :) ). The first time - from current gear to Neutral, and the second time - from Neutral to next gear.
This is a military car from 1970 UAZ - 469, so no wonder you don’t have any luxuries in there. It was simple as a brick, and a rather good off-roader.
LOL THAT LOOKS LIKE it was in SPIN TIRES!
It's the same model - UAZ 469
It's a bit biased as it's been in vietnam and probably hasn't had a decent service since it was made. Also these vehicles are military vehicles, not intended for civilian use. They are cheap to produce and easy to fix. Basically the ak-47 of cars.
+Regen Av Norge If they want to sell it as a civilian car to the public, it should be judged as one.
+Roast Goose It would have been Ex-Military, and sold on to the public at a cheap price. It was never intended to serve civilian purposes.
Yeah, as bad as the AK 47.
Actually, the UAZ wouldn't be that much of a challenge to kill, cause they're usually of.... bad quality... To say the least.

But comeoooon I drove one of these indestructable cars for ages and I have never been disappointed in it! Seriously, it survives everything!
Please TopGear, give another try for it! Because it deserves! (Don't kill it, like the Toyota, just test it, please!)
Anyway, you could test other cars from the east (East-Europe and further countries' cars, or cars of the ex-soviet countries etc...) I mean cars like Yugo, Skoda, Lada, IFA, the famous Trabant...
they didn't kill Toyota, in case you missed something.
Wait! That’s a very famous car now! The Jeep in PUBG!
Damn that’s bulletproof😂
Man that's the same car in pubg 😂 now it get it that those car tumbles were not glitches...
TEDIOUS FOOLl! This is one of the most enduring vehicles created in 60s for places where not even roads.This UAZ regulary win off road races here in BG and doing this no worse than G-class, Land Cruizer and Deffender
Simple can be good - cheap to run with nothing to break. never need a 400 power window repair in that one. I have an old Kabota tractor , PTO spins the wrong way , no power steering, gear jammer- dam thing always starts, towed two stuck cars today with it - throws snow like it was new.
Should have added "The only component which doesn't make noise, is the horn" :D
These cars were considered military utility product and had to be registered in your local Military department, until USSR collapsed.
They were never sold as city consumer products, it was for countryside agriculture staff people and for regions without real roads.
Third world.
02:07 Ever heard of double declutching?
Think a couple of times before calling USSR auto-industry 'low tech'. The car market was quite modest, but not Stone-age like in any way. By the way, has Jeremy any experience in driving a Willis or a HMMWV?
지조 Sure this thing is good for offroading but just look at what cars americans and germany produced during the cold war. Communism doesn't work guys.

Year of our Lord 2019 and UAZ is now a desired vehicle as one of the last true offroaders.
This footage is so old i think i didn't exist in that timeframe yet
Where this UAZ can go, the USA HMMWV would shit it's pants. And yes, it has no synchro-mesh (that's where the gearchange "issues" come from), so you have to double-clutch and play with the throttle. You see - i'm from eastern europe, and we have hundreds of those 50+ years old machines still climbing hills up and down like goats! And i've yet to see other cars live to the age of even 30, and still work with little to none maintenacnce... So stop spitting on russian cars! I know a lot of americans start complaining when they get a car with no hydraulics, auto transmission and air conditioning... but that's because they're so used to luxury, that they've gotten lazy and stupid! :) Plain and simple! U want to go offroad - you have to try this old grandpa!
Low gears, differential lock, tough suspension, high clearance - it's got it all and more!
Couldn't agree more.
spot on!
the best way to park it in the snow was simply to pick up speed and crash into a parking space which has a pile of snow on it, only problem is getting out and if there may be a small ZAZ 894 under the pile of snow. Otherwise it should be fine. I did that all the time! Although if there is a car under the snow..... you are much likely not notice it. Whoops. ^-^
Hey dipshit... that guy in the video? HE'S BRITISH.
Its called UAZ or UAZik in Russia.
Stop lying, it's called "vedro s boltami", or simply put -- "vedro".
Nop. Tat's all about Lada.
Bobic her name!
Bobik
@@henryp4684 yep, bobik dude!
The one showed in the video must be a worn out one that doesn’t represent the UAZ 469.
My dad had one. I learned to drive with UAZ 469 in 70’s and then drove it for years. Loved every bit of it.
Even still these days I’m looking for buying one of those old one to restore.
It’s a “REAL” muscle car.
The video guy simply used a worn out one with the calculated intent to undermine its reputation.
its also not an original one
@@d3203 You're right.
Propaganda: "worst car in the wolrd"
Coments: the best suv in the wolrd.
Democracy wins!!!!
But its true, have you seen that lil shit drive off road, it's amazing
It doesn't even look like it can but holy hell it does it really good
You better look on poor Americans till its coronovirus are masks not have enough equipment that doctors use garbage bags and choose rich people 44 percent not have medical insurance and every U.S. sites have millions homeless people _ democracy is demo freedom demo Wright's show and nothing more dictators billionaires pocket government and media police t.v. army medical structures everything control by hiding billionaires government directors .
People's democracy not the capitalist democracy
This guy is just trying to mock everything. I've rode in the same model. It can go through everywhere, even through water. I can say it is better than most modern jeeps.
I saw this car in Colombia in the 80's decade, URSS sold the uaz 469 to the cafe axis zone and Orinoquia zone since the 70's decade
Geez I thought he was kidding when he said “that’s all it’s equipped with”
This is what was taking me to school and back for couple of years. Bring back nice memories.
This thing was designed to survive a nuclear war
Did drive this car in the Army, Offroad this car really shines, it did outperform new and modern Toyota Hilux without a problem.
I dare you to buy an old, rusty one and put it through the same suffering Top Gear did once. I'm willing to bet it doesn't work anymore, unlike the Hilux.
@@appelpower1 it will always work no matter what along with Army Jeeps
"Just gonna slide it into 5th" I'm pretty sure it hasn't got a 5th gear.
Yes, only 4 gears. But It has a terrain reduction gear.
So Clarkson was playing with the stick for that.
He was very reliable in this clip.
Fun fact: this car is still produced and sold factory new in Russia for 7000€
>worse car in the world
>40 year old car that still runs with minimal maintenance.
Not as good for a minimalist car like the old land rover from the 50s, but still pretty darn good.
0:27 Ah, a W50, I love these things! =)
Jeremy doesn't understand the word "minimalist"
All SOVIET cars in video:UAZ,GAZ 24 "VOLGA" 0:46
Also UAZ 3741 aka 'Bukhanka' at 0:53
Watching this in 2020. Hilarious, and the 80's perm on Clarkson, priceless.
They still make them and the new ones look exactly the same.
The classic model sort of does, for nostalgia value. Although it's revamped inside and of course has basic safety and comfort features (as you could expect in a military-geek vehicle like a civilian humvee). Most models are styled (quite poorly) as modern SUVs, and basically are. The original was a good military jeep, I can't say anything about the modern ones, but they are reasonably popular.

The tooling was paid off 30 years ago. It's pure profit for UAZ since then.
It's funny how the UAZ 469 has gone the way of the Land Rover Defender and Jeep Cherokee XJ.
Yeah but in clarksons eyes, everything has to be a Ferrari or Aston.... this is a rough and ready military vehicle used from getting from A to B as cheaply as possible...
mrsneaky2010 not really cheaply, this car is almost as old as clarkson so the tech is really outdated and probably drinks more than an Irish sailor. This is the worst car, maybe. But it is not the worst military vehicle
The worst car is undoubtedly the velorex. The end.
Jeremy has no clue if he says this is the worst car. This is a totally efficient, absolutely reliable piece of military offroad machine.
0:27 , 0:58 Look at the beautiful East German Truck IFA W-50! Fun Fact: East Germany´s Coffee Crisis is the reason why Vietnam is now the second lagest Coffee-Producer in the World (For further Infos look in Wikipedia "East German coffee crisis") !
Burzum and Varg vikerness brought me here! At least his opinions were honest.........
is this uaz?
Andy Hea Jin An it's
quite rare in Vietnam road nowadays, now there are full of Korean cars on Vietnam road
Yes this is a UAZ but a civilian version but the presenter apparently does not know how to handle equipment
A UAZ 469
Да.
This is what we have to drive in order to get our car driver license during the 90s
If I'm not mistaking, the UAZ was a Soviet remake of the Jeep. Basically, they figured the WW2 Jeeps they got through land-lease were pretty practical, so instead of buying the car over and over from "those capitalist dogs", they just made their own, using the Jeep as a basis.
One of my distant relatives had one of these in their garage, i remember it was a bit longer than normal, had extra seats in the back that gave off gunner vibes.
Also, back when my mom was in school, her entire class fit in the back of one of those Militia-issue UAZs. I don't remember why they were "packed in" though, but it wasn't for breaking the law, i think they were just given a lift. 🤔
Also, is no one gonna mention the GAZ-24?
