1980 Yugo 101 Confort 1.1 petrol

Summary:

Comforts are best 101's ever built by Yugo factory

Faults:

All four doors and tailgate were replaced due to rust after 10 years.

Car went for only £100 in 2000 due to corrosion body damage beyond repair, which is hardly surprising for a 20-year old car.

General Comments:

The seats are extremely comfortable - "confort" trim.

Genuine Fiat engine never let me down. Superb acceleration for its body size.

Not to be driven beyond 120 km/h due to rattles and squeaks.

Plastic wheel archers improve corrosion resistance of front wings.

Low-mileage/rust-free Confort is a bargain and is sought-after even now, after 20 years of obsolence.

General Comments:

The seats are uncomfortable.

The suspension is exhausted.

Brakes are too "soft" i.e. pedal must be pressed very hard.

Always need to be cranked twice when outdoor temperature is below 20C.

Gear shifting is a very delicate operation, sometimes it takes more than 5 seconds to put the handle in proper position.

Spare parts are cheap and easy to find.

Can be bought for less that 150$.

I love that car...
