Back in the day my sister and her husband owned a succession of economy cars - a Pinto, followed by a Levis Gremlin and then two Yugos.
The Yugos turned out to be surprisingly good cars; they were very cheaply built but they were reliable for them at least. One time my niece managed to put one of them in the ditch and rolled it, they flipped it back on its wheels, drove it home and used it for a couple more years. I actually liked the Gremlin, it had a blue exterior along with the Levis interior and had a three speed on the floor. it was fun to drive, I could see owning one today. Swap in an AMC 390 or 401 engine and it would be even more fun.
