The 1981-1990 Yugo, officially known as the Zastava Koral, was a compact car manufactured by Zastava Automobiles in Yugoslavia. This budget-friendly vehicle was known for its affordability and distinctive boxy design, becoming a symbol of the Eastern Bloc's automotive industry during the late 20th century. The Yugo was the first European car to be sold in the United States since the Volkswagen Beetle, and its entry into the American market in 1985 sparked a wave of interest and fascination. While initially praised for its low price point, the Yugo's reputation soon became synonymous with poor quality and reliability issues, leading to its eventual withdrawal from the American market in 1992. The 1981-1990 Yugo was powered by a 1.1-liter four-cylinder engine, producing a modest 44 horsepower. This engine was paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and the car featured a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout. Despite its humble origins, the Yugo was surprisingly capable, offering a comfortable ride and surprisingly nimble handling for its size. While its simple construction and outdated design contributed to its shortcomings, the Yugo was a testament to Zastava's engineering ingenuity, capable of providing basic transportation at an unprecedented price. The Yugo's legacy remains a complex one, serving as both a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of low-cost manufacturing and an enduring symbol of the automotive industry's evolution during a period of significant technological and geopolitical change.
