The 10 Worst Cars Of All Time

2. Yugo

The mother of all lemons has to be the Yugo. This catastrophe on wheels was imported into the United States from Soviet-controlled Yugoslavia in the mid-1980s as a car for cost-conscious Americans. This car was so cheap and shabbily put together that “carpet” was listed as a standard feature in the marketing brochure. In fact, this car was so prone to breaking down that there was a warmer on the back window of the Yugo designed to keep people’s hands warm while they pushed it. Seriously. The engines were known to explode, the electrical system routinely short circuited, and parts would just fall off for no apparent reason. Many insurance companies refused to insure this wreck of a car. No wonder the Yugo had a short lifespan in the United States.
