1991 Yugo Skala 55 review from Republic of Srpska

For the ten years only parts I had replaced are pump and erasers.

About the car: this car cost some $3500 for me.

What do you expect to get for this money?

The interior is not something Zastava can be proud of. There are bad arranged plastics, but still better than the 1970s.

Engine is 55 PS and its behavior is very satisfactory, I think better than many cars produced even these days.

I drove it at 150km/h successfully, the acceleration is not the best, but is better than many cars (ie Fiat Uno) - some 13-14 seconds from 0-100 km/h.

The best thing related to this car is that anybody can repair it and the parts are very cheap.

For the ten years I did not have any problems with the car. Nearly the only things one should buy are petrol and oil.

The some people reported defects with the car a short period after they had bought them.

I think that there were many models and there were periods with production problems.

If your car do not have problems in the first 3 months, they will never appear.

Currently condition of the car is also satisfactory and it is better than many cars, ie Opels from 1989 to 1992, or Fiat, Skoda and similar cars my friends have.

So, will I buy this car again?

If Zastava/Yugo make new car models, better looking, with a bit better performance and security than present, with the same approximate price - of course I will.
