1992 Lada Niva Utility review from Australia and New Zealand
"A good budget four wheel drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This Car is typical Lada.
The wiring and electricals could be better.
Overall fit and finish very average.
No major faults.
General comments?
Lada's are not for people wanting to get places fast.
They require mechanical participation on the part of their owners to keep them running well.
Having said that they are easy to work on with the only major hassles being access to some components.
They are for people that want a good and rugged four wheel drive on a budget. To use as a four wheel drive.
