    Today, I bought the worst car ever made - a 1986 Yugo GV, which happens to be world famous as the most viewed Yugo on RUclips, being on channels like Doug Demuro, VinWiki, Aging Wheels, and this one. It's also very, very broken, so let's see if we can fix it, shall we?

    "WORST Car EVER MADE" ? I wouldn't say that. My first car was a Yugo. Loved it very much. They are not race cars, but they are very reliable and cheap to maintain. You can basically swap the engine for 150-200$ lol. If you take care of her, she will be there for you. I had 6 cars since and my Yugo was the most reliable.

      @Blesava Konjina it's interresting because I live in Poland and if the stuff is made in and for Poland it's ussually crap and the same stuff which goes for Germany is made differently and a lot better. The worse countries get worse products. Even Haribo jelly bears are made different for Germany and Poland. So it's actually better to get a used car from germany than buy a new one made for Poland. it's so messed up to the point that people buy new cars abroad and pay tax just to have a car that is better because it's diffent quality, and it's 2021...

    • @johnhpalmer6098
      @johnhpalmer6098 3 года назад +5

      @Blesava Konjina I was familiar with these when new in the US and liked them, yeah, you can tell it's from Fiat, and I knew that then, essentially a variation of the Fiat 127, but with the running gear of the 128 for the US market models, that is, the GV, GVS, GVL had the entry level 1.1L OHC 4, the GVZ, I think it was, had the slightly quicker 1.3L, and the ONLY differentiation between the trim was the interiors got upgraded to slightly plusher door panels, seat upholstery etc, but the dash etc, remained the same. The GVZ had a slide and fold front seat buckets, instead of the entire seat tilting up from the front of the seat cushion. Other than that, the tailights had integrated back up lights and fancy wheels, then there was also the cabrio variant as well.
      As said, not speedy, but it did get out of the way, more or less and was basic transportation par excellence. Never ended up with one when newish. Later years (1990-1991), the line was consolidated to the GV Plus, basically a combination of the base car, with the seats from the GVZ and the 1.3L inline 4 and it got fuel injection but otherwise, not much else, but by 1991, the war in Yugoslavia took its toll and the car could not sustain exports as a result, and there was a lawsuit of some Yugos by 1990 had emissions problems when new, thus didn't meat emissions standards, both spelled the death knell to the car and by 1992, it was gone from our shores.
      Like I said, not bad, and it being based on the Fiat was alright by me, mind you, an old model that was initially introduced in the late 60's. The 127 was a hatchback, but a lower priced model than the 128 sedan/coupe and 3 door wagon (I'd want that for the 128, and could have come close to purchasing a bright yellow '78 128 in the early 80's. As said, the Yugo for the US anyway was an amalgamation of both models, the body is a variant of what the 127 was shod, but converted to FWD with the use of the 128 running gear. BTW, the 127 in Italy and beyond, came with a pushrod motor, the 128 from the outset was OHC.
      As you can tell, I did some research on this a bunch of years back. :-)

    • @johnhpalmer6098
      @johnhpalmer6098 3 года назад +3

      @Blesava Konjina Thanks! I knew a few details of it after the Yugoslavian war through research but I DO need to make a slight correction to my initial post. The Fiat 127 was introduced in 1971 as a replacement for the then outgoing Fiat 850, which was RWD and rear engined of around 850cc. The 127 was built as a FWD car, but not with a McPherson strut suspension and I don't think it had front disks either and the 903cc motor was pushrod, or OHV in design and was sold as a sedan or the more popular hatchback.
      Other than a few details, the Yugo sported a similar body. The Fiat 128 was a true modern FWD car and one of the first as it did sport OHC motor, a true transaxle transmission, transverse mounted, and with McPherson struts up front and disc brakes, all revolutionary at the time, now commonplace.
      It's all quite interesting nonetheless.

    We had a Yugo on our ranch in central Texas. It was a lot of fun to drive the hell out of.
    Our family used it to deliver cattle cake to the different pastures, so the cows would run towards it when we drove it, which made it a thrill.

      Sorry, somehow thinking of running cows just doesn't get me to quite the same level of awe that the Jurassic park scene (in reality) would. Just sayin. But contrary to the movie tenants, the cows are actually MUCH smarter than any dinosaur was, and cows aren't exactly brilliant. I think they place somewhere between tree stumps and house cats. The actions of the raptors hunting the humans in the building were beyond silly. Not that you wouldn't be in serious trouble, but they wouldn't be operating like those were. In reality, they were somewhere south of a chicken in intelligence, and if you've ever had chickens, that should bring a chuckle. Not turkeys, but not geniuses, either.

    We owned a few of these over time (in Yugoslavia and later Croatia). We loved them all. The reason is that it was a sort of a car that you could use for almost any purpose, and even if it breaks it was so cheap to fix. I managed to put some really large objects inside of it, like huge paintings, that couldn't fit in bigger cars. My mother was driving it for 20 years or so. But then again, we were used to similar (better and worse) cars back then. I would still love to drive it around. It was also a great car to drive offroad. Not maybe like some big car dedicated for that purpose, but I can't remember that there was ever a type of road that we couldn't conquer. If you visit any part of ex Yugoslavia, most of the folks will have a positive memory of Yugo.

I had to replace the clutch cable on the roadside once (they where $14.00 then, and they broke regularly, so I always had a spare). Steering angle is kind of weird, but you get used to it. Rear suspension is independent (a la Corvette, rear transverse leaf). Sold it in 1994, and regret selling it. It was so inexpensive, I didn't care for shopping mall dings.

    i drove a yugo for 5 years, from 2008 to 2013. It was made in 1991. He never betrayed me, I went to the sea with him several times for 400 km in one direction. greetings from Serbia where that car was created

    Actually in that car my whole family would fit inside and we would go every year to country next to us by the sea, driving 13 hours and we are 4 kids plus our parents in front seats plus our things for the beach ☺☺☺ That "worst car ever made" as you call it did pretty amazing job for my family and we had it till I turned 18 and than I learned how to drive on our old red Yugo. 😀 It was so heavy to turn left or right but....In that time was really challenging to get a driver licence comparing nowadays. Yugo is real king. : ) God bless Yugo and all Yugoslovenian people! 😍

    Bulbs and fuses for Yugo were made in Yugoslavia,and bulbs were reliable.Later after Yugoslavia broke appart,bulbs were made in Serbian town Pančevo in factory called Tesla and they had long lasting bulbs.Yugo itself needs care and if maintained it works.I've seen Yugo 55 from 1990 and it still passes inspections here in Serbia.

    Here in Brazil we had FIAT 147. It was pretty similar to YUGO. The exterior/interior almost the same. My mom had 3 of these between 1986 and 1995 AHAHAHA the car of my childhood!!! Looking forward for this build. It's amazing to see dream supercars (Lamborghini / McLaren) and this at the same channel. Thanks Freddy. Keep up the good work ❤🇧🇷

    • @danisuper98

      Actually they were both built on the same Fiat 127 platform... and not Fiat 128 as mentioned in the clip. Fiat 128 never got the base 903cc OHV engine as 127 and Yugos.
      Zastava 101 was based on the Fiat 128, it was basically a 128 hatchback. IMO it even looked much better as the original fiat 128.
