1996 Lada Samara S review from UK and Ireland
"A super car for the price no-matter what anyone says!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing all except from one morning when my mother managed to flood the engine. I started it straight away though.
General comments?
Not a bad car to drive.
Very solid build. It once withstood a very hard smack in the rear end by a Fiat Punto. The front of the Punto was wrecked, but no damage was found on the Lada!
However it takes a bit of winding up sometimes.
