1980 Lada 2103 1300DL review from Sweden
"The cheapest and most reliable transportation possible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starting motor got stuck at 50000 kilometers. Possibly because this car was used for only 47000 kilometers the first 21 years. I replaced the clutch just after purchasing the car. This happened at a low mileage. The previous owner was an old man. Old men seem to wear clutches badly. I never replaced the clutch of my last Lada 2103 during the six years I owned it.
General comments?
Using a 23 year old car as a daily driver might not seem to be a good idea. My car is just as reliable as any brand new car.
The comfort tells a lot about the roots of this car: Mid 1960's.
