I know I am going to get flamed for this one... but here it goes. I am from Serbia, and back there, in the 80's and 90's, Yugo's were good cars to own. They were cheaper than anything else on the streets, save for Zastava 750 and 850 (versions of Fiat 600). My uncle back home still owns one, with some 130.000 miles on it, and it runs good. He can rebuild the engine with less than $200. Its converted to use LPG, so it is super cheap to run considering high cost of gas in Europe. You can squeeze 4, or even 5 people inside, if you must. You can fix pretty much anything on that car alone.
Now, Zastava makes Zastava 10, which is based on Fiat Punto, and it is a nice little car for eastern europe markets. Any car is better than no car :)
In Serbia, there are plenty of new cars these days, but taxes and customs on imported vehicles are sky high, in the neighborhood of 40% on the price of the car. For a price of Golf in Serbia, you can easily buy a Passat in states.
