1982 Lada Niva cossack review from North America
"Perfect vehicle for tough country and winters like here in Saskatchewan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A very poor electrical system
General comments?
Spent about a thousand bucks on paint tires and a new windsheild; all repairs done by myself, not only reliable, but a serious head turner, can't stop at a gas pump without hearing words like "Sweet" or getting the thumbs up from strangers. They would like it even more if I would let them take it for a serious off road spin. Still loving it. Robert Vaganza@shaw.ca.
