ABOUT JAY LENO'S GARAGE
A new video every Monday! Visit Jay Leno's Garage, the Emmy-winning series where Jay Leno gives car reviews, motorcycle reviews, compares cars, and shares his passion and expertise on anything that rolls, explodes, and makes noise. Classic cars, restomods, super cars like the McLaren P1, sports cars like Porsche 918 Spyder and Camaro Z28, cafe racers, vintage cars, and much, much more.
In 1991, a yugo 45 had saved the life of me and my family during the escape from Vukovar, at that difficult time (Battle of Vukovar) the car was a real blessing, and reliable companion.
Fun fact for Jeff: The parts werent made in different countries, they were all made in Yugoslavia - all the names you rattled down were part of Yugoslavia at the time. 😅 The more you know! 💫
Finally a Jay Leno episode featuring a car that I can afford!
Guy walks into a parts store and says “I’d like a gas cap for my Yugo”. Guy behind the counter says, “Sounds like a fair trade”…ah, that dad joke never gets old 🤣
10 times more entertaining than any of the supercar episodes.
Jeff saved my life in 2009, so I take the opportunity to thank him here. He told a joke that pissed off my wife and I laughed so hard and long that she divorced me. I am alive today due to a joke, keep it up Jeff. Save some more of us.
The Yugo is built on the Fiat127 platform. It's strange that you don't know that all those countries that produced parts for the Yugo were part of Yugoslavia. After the breakup of Yugoslavia, the Yugo continued to be produced under the name Zastava Koral in Kragujevac, Serbia. The redesigned version had a Peugeot engine. All in all a practical car for that time.
The joke was, the Yugo had a rear window defroster to keep your hands warm while you pushed it off the road!
I was the Yugo specialist at the dealer I worked for . I have a certificate that hangs on my wall that proves it 😊 The reason I was appointed as the guy for them was because my mom was from Yugoslavia ! I have respect for the car . The parent company was Zastava
“It’s not that bad” should have been the ad campaign. 😂
Thanks to both for not trashing the car and be rude about it like many other car "experts". It was a great little car, if you took care of it it definitely was reliable and decent. My father bought yugo 60 in 91, we sold it in 2003 with 140k km on the clock, never had any bigger issues. Cheers to all! 💪🏎️🚀
My first car, purchased in 1994 for driving to school when I was 15. One morning, a police pulled me over and requested my driving license. I handed him my moped license. He was looking at the license and my Yugo and say "You have nothing, just go, go, go.I don't want to see you again". The car had no registration and no blinkers. One time, me and my friend drive to the coast. In a spare tire i had a cloth, accidentally touching the exhaust and igniting a fire. We smelled something burning, open the hood, panicked, and sprinted to the other side of the highway, anticipating an explosion like in the movies:) Nothing happend. Luckily, a road maintenance truck arrived, extinguished the fire , and left. Returning to the car, we continue our trip as if nothing had happened. The car reached a maximum speed of 134 km/h. However, during winter, the cooling fan malfunctioned. On one occasion, after a night at a disco, my friend fell asleep in the car with the engine running for five hours. The car overheated, depleting the water tank, and melting some plastic stuf around the engine. Surprisingly, after that the car's top speed was 147 km/h.
Used to drive it for years, the one made for American market. Only 4 gears, never broke down, never let me down, snow, rain, whatever :) Still going strong with mini repairs. Not worth to sell, cause it's probably worth 400$ now. Doesn't consume much fuel, repairs cost 20$. Good memories.
My dad had one. It was our first family car. When we would leave the Banja Luka area to go to the Coast in Croatia, my mom put little pillows and blankets for us in the back and my brother and I slept on opposite sides in the back. Amazing and heartwarming memories from back then. I miss my dad and I miss those family vacations circa 1988-1991 when we were all in one country.
Yugo was awesome!! Simple and easy to maintain.
By far the most entertaining of all the Leno car demonstration videos. We need more of the humble, utilitarian cars to remind us where we came from.
I road around w this gal back in school that drove her Yugo like a ralley racer ,n it never failed. That thing never quit ,no matter what she put it through
I love the way a Yugo looks in 2023, this is the nicest one ive seen. I would drive this everyday
I liked how Jay seemed legit annoyed at that puppet. I was right there with him!😂
Jay and Jeff had another car follow them to film this excursion.
