Would You Drive These Disasters? The 45 Worst Cars of All Time
The Yugo GV Made Walking Look Fun
Imagine paying $3,990 for a brand-new car and still feeling ripped off. That’s the experience buyers got when they drove home in a Yugo “GV” in 1985—assuming they made it home at all. This tiny hatchback looked like a toaster on wheels and performed like one, too.
With 55 horsepower, merging onto highways was a leap of faith, and the timing belt was a ticking time bomb—if you didn’t replace it every 40,000 miles, the engine self-destructed. Interiors rattled, parts fell off, and breakdowns were as predictable as the sun rising. Consumer Reports called it “barely assembled,” and by 1992, the Yugo was gone.
