1994 Lada Samara 1500 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Reliable car with comfy seats and a robust engine!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong yet, previous owner de-registered (has no plates - cannot legally be used on the road without getting a fine) the car as it had body rust (they owned it from new) and I don't use it on road.
General comments?
Good fun, bought as a paddock racer, have taken out a few gorse bushes with it (going sideways), very torquey (pulled my mates ute (pickup) out of mud, sadly no stereo (previous owners took it out) but am looking at putting one in (need music when paddock racing!). The car cost me NZ $100, all it needs is fuel!
