1976 Lada 2103 review from Estonia
"Road runner"
General comments?
I can always relay on my Lada because it's made in Russia and it won't ever surprise me in a bad way.
Parts are very cheap to buy, however in 24 years of owning this car I have never done any major repairs, only just the little ones.
This car is fast for its age, even last year I was nearly having a heart-attack when I noticed that the car's speed was 170 which is very good result for even a 2 year old Lada.
The engine is very good. It started in the winter with -25 degrees Celsius. Can you believe it?
The one and the only fault in this car is its radiator. It must be replaced in every 2 or 3 years. All the rest is best. When you think I'm not writing the truth, then try it and you won't regret it!
