I have no problem with the Yugo handling like an old car. In fact, it is because of this that I actually like the Yugo. Most modern cars are too bland in their character to be any fun, even if they are faster and handle better.
What we have been lacking in the U.S. since the end of Yugo sales in 1991 is a cheap basic, old fashioned car. I know that there are plenty of people who will not sell their old Yugos now even though they have enough money to buy a new car. I would have to say that surprisingly, Yugo owners in the U.S. seem to be amongst the most loyal of any car owners. There were many who were let down when Bricklin did not follow through with his plan to import new Yugos.
