1984 Lada 2105 1200s review from Greece
"Below average, but cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump.
Brake cylinder and servo.
New radiator.
Heater valve.
Rear brake cylinders.
Transmission base.
Speedometer cable.
Left door lock.
Right side windows fell.
Rust all over the car.
Carburettor needed cleaning and overhaul.
Replaced tank because it was full of rust.
Overheating problems when driven fast and in traffic jams.
General comments?
It reminds me more of a pickup truck than a saloon car; the handling isn't very good, the steering is heavy and slow, the brakes aren't very strong, the acceleration is poor, noisy, and the fuel economy is low.
On the other hand, it's quite roomy and the boot is big enough, the parts are cheap, and it is fairly reliable if you take care of it.
