helix Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 Great to have a laugh remembering the Yugo. Why does the Yugo have a rear-window defroster? So you can keep your hands warm while you push it. What do you call a Yugo with a flat tire? Totaled. What's included in every Yugo owner's manual? A bus schedule. What do you call a Yugo that breaks down after 100 miles? An overachiever. 2

Cut this out of a Time 50 worst cars. 31 of 50, now I'm curious to see what they had as the worst.
KnightsAnole Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 How do you double the value of your Yugo? Fill it up with gas. 1
ayepatz Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 An honourable mention should go to the Austin Maxi. My Dad had one (in this very diarrhoea yellow), and it broke down more often than it ran. It was also more aero-dynamic going in reverse. British Leyland at its finest. 1

jwr0201 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Friend bought a Yugu new in 86 for around $3500.00 with automatic. Broke down more than it was on the road. Sold it a few months later with less than 3,000 miles on it for $1,000.00 and had to stand firm to get that. Horrible car!
LLC Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Not sure about worst car but ugliest car ever has to be the Pontiac Aztek. 2
Lotusguy Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Not sure about worst car but ugliest car ever has to be the Pontiac Aztek. Guess you haven't seen the new Toyota Prius 1

wabashcr Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 I had a friend in school whose mother gifted his father a Yugo for his birthday. The 3 years or so that their family owned that car had to have been the worst of my friend's life. He was routinely abused by anyone who knew about the Yugo. Poor bastard.
Akela3rd Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 An honourable mention should go to the Austin Maxi. My Dad had one (in this very diarrhoea yellow), and it broke down more often than it ran. It was also more aero-dynamic going in reverse. British Leyland at its finest. Hold up there Ayepatz! I have to disagree on this one. My father-in-law had at least three Maxis on the go at any one time until about 10 years ago. Built like a gun, easy to fix and weighed about 6 ton. He swore by them and my wife and I used to borrow one every now and then. Once you got used to the weight (combined with the lack of power steering - it's a workout), they were great for distance travel. Comfortable, spacious and reliable is how I remember them. The Times even did a small article on him once after a friend of his contacted the paper telling them about his quirky friend! 1
cigcars Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah - it's a pretty sorry car, however not to beat up solely on a poor dead horse: anybody remember those other descriptions of some of our now favorite cars BEFORE they got their act together? Fix It Again Tony (FIAT); Found On the Road Dead or Fix Or Repair Daily FORD); and my favorite; people's description of their Chrysler products, just simply referred to as the Anti-Chrysler!

Jeep: Just Empty Every Pocket I had a love/hate affair with my 2007 JK jeep Wrangler. I bough the Diesel. They initially manufatured them with a normal petrol nozzle fittings to refill. Of course you couldn't fill up. Somehow this wasn't a manufacturing fault according to Chrysler. Not until the class action. 1

My Dad's Maxi broke down on every long distance journey we attempted! I think we must have had one of the legendary BL "Friday Afternoon" cars! 12 hours ago, cigcars said: Yeah - it's a pretty sorry car, however not to beat up solely on a poor dead horse: anybody remember those other descriptions of some of our now favorite cars BEFORE they got their act together?
