I'm not even going to care about the long arguments about whether cars are terrible and the impact of the freemarket or communism on engineering. just give the fucktards a yugo and be done with it already.
Thats a bad car, but it became bad because it was left out in the open for a long time. This thread wants cars that were bad from the factory.
Tbh I think the Pigeon is probably the worst quality car (by Beamverse standards) in the game. It is basically just a motorized trike with weak body panels.
@¿Carbohydration? No, I don't want a Yugo - that was just an example. There are far better, more subtle, lesser-known examples of bad (not just mediocre like the FWD A-cars, but actually horrible) cars out there. And if you would please refrain from calling me a "fucktard," that would be nice. Thought you directed that at me. You didn't. Sorry. I was not expecting this thread to become a war zone. You hotheads need to chill, big time.
I said yugo just to mean a bad crappy car. And by "Fucktards" i was jokingly referencing the general public and was not directly aimed at you.
The Yugo was very much on par with cars of its price range, or often even better (Ages-old Renault 4 and Citroen 2CV designs, or 2-cylinder Fiats, anybody?)
Everyone got their own definition of bad cars. There's enough cars ingame now, to make a judgement about which ones could be bad cars. The older muscle cars light up in flames easily in rear end crashes, so does the gavril grand marshal. The LeGran is a cheap, weird fwd boxy american car which does 0-100 km/h sometimes. Of course it's better if you change the engine, but that's not really the point of this.
Fair enough, but all we want is a car thats unsafe and will easily break. Something like the yugo or the trabant would easily fit this role.
Things like axles and solenoids and electronic bits should not go bad on an otherwise brand new car. It was driven regularly, it never sat. The lady that owned it was one of my mother's co workers and she was an old lady that worked monday thru friday and lived 2 miles from work, so it never sat. Once I got it, everything just started breaking. That all being said, the Le Gran fits that bill rather well, it's pretty delicate and the archaic suspension and boxy styling qualify it as a "bad car", which is why I have it set as my default lol
You likely got a lemon, or what was supposed to break over these years broke once the car started getting driven. And the LeGran can take a lot of punishment. Too big.
I'm sorry but quality and reliability wise the R4 and the 2CV were leaps and bounds ahead of the yugo, even though were outdated at the time.
Early yugos were pretty good, good enough to sell in the US. Later in their production the economy in Yugoslavia was going downhill and quality seriously dropped.
Yeah, the 80s were not a good time for any automaker in the U.S. You simply can't come out with something that looked that ugly in FWD trim, somehow uglier than the boxy rwd sedans of the time, and expect booming sales to people who are used to the 60s/70s cars where you had size and style combined with power.
Quality of no rustproofing or quality of designs remembering the days of hand cranks and outhouses? --- Post updated --- You actually could expect booming sales, because the 80s were vastly different to the 60s and 70s.
I don't understand what you mean by this. What I'm saying is most Renault 4s and Citroen 2CVs still drive everyday now with few to no issues, whereas yugos usually fell apart or simply rusted into the ground after a few years.
Speak for yourself. These communist cars tend to last some 15-20 years, and ths demise is mainly due to depreciation. Portugal isn't a place where cars rust much, definitely not in comparison to Eastern Europe or Midwestern USA.
