1992 Lada Samara 1500S review from Turkey
"Good value for your money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing in particular.
Some parts replaced:
Carburetor, fuel pump, ignition.
Rust everywhere, but no danger of breaking down: very thick steel bodywork!
General comments?
This is really a good car for it's price, reliable and very easy to drive.
There is no comfort inside, very noisy on bad road surface and a little difficult to park, there is no steering assistance, not even as an option..
Good performance, easy to handle and cheap on fuel economy.
Some progress needed on quality and manufacture.
I use this car every day for going anywhere without being worried. No one would steal it...
