But this one is my favorite. It's owned by the same guy and it's powered by 1.3L twin-turbo engine from Mazda, producing 315 hp.




Goes to show you EVERY car will always have a following. Big or small.

If you have to ask, go for the Yugo.

Put a "fart" can muffler on it. Then go to Ford and get "5.0" badges on it and you have the best of both worlds without the expense.

Yugo all the way. And when you inevitably crash it because you can't handle the awesomeness, it will fold into a tin foil ball around you, essentially acting as an inpenetrable suit of yugoslavian armor

I could post this one too. This one is powered by Fiat's engine, not sure what size, but it's producing ~140 hp.

From what I've read, Yugo's were Fiat based...

Yugo was based on Fiat 127 I believe, but it wasn't just Fiat's copy built under Fiat's license. Unlike earlier models. Like this one, Zastava 101, which is Serbian legend. Easy to maintain, cheap and pretty reliable. My dad used to own two of them back in the 1980s.

I would pick the Yugo because they have become a high dollar collector car over the past few years. I like the way the front end looks and the way the exhaust sounds, very sexy.

Don't take my opinions as gospel. I did a lot of drugs from the late 60's to the mid 70's. It was a 'Rock'in Roll' thing. My Doctors tell me i only have 3 brain cells left. I have to make do with what i have, or is it, what i have left. I do the best i can.....What was i talking about?

The yugo if you treated it as a collectors item you would never drive.... Spiritedly anyway. Get the 5.0 and hit the loud pedal

A Yugo would make a cool "sleeper" car project. Just keep the body shell and put better everything else underneath.

I like yugo cars but sadly most of them have a yugo recalls. Though it is easy to get hold of. I would suggest you look for cars like bmw or honda.

I'll go and get yugo for $470. For people who have yugo repair questions century yugos generally don't have all the same problems as the century was. i spaced and forgot they're still century. my uncle has one, the quality is much better than i would have expected for century.
