1979 Yugo 101 B review from Serbia
"Good old fellow"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
General engine crash in 1995.
Transmission blocked in 1993.
Windshield and front hub crash due to a storm in 1992.
Almost all glass broken due to a bombing shock waves in 1999.
Completely roasted and repaired in 1996.
Two Gas pump breaks in 1992. and 1999.
And more...
General comments?
The seats are uncomfortable.
The suspension is exhausted.
Brakes are too "soft" i.e. pedal must be pressed very hard.
Always need to be cranked twice when outdoor temperature is below 20C.
Gear shifting is a very delicate operation, sometimes it takes more than 5 seconds to put the handle in proper position.
Spare parts are cheap and easy to find.
Can be bought for less that 150$.
I love that car...
