Firstly, the video clip above is from Season 13, episode 3 of Top Gear in 1990. Tiff Needell takes a look at the Yugo Sana.
Was the Yugo the worst car of the 80s?
Yugo 311
This model was produced between 1971 and 2008 and was a very affordable and popular car. Known as the Skala in many countries, this was the most popular model and has become something of an icon in Serbia.
