1991 Lada Samara 1300 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased the car for $300 with a bad transmission and bad clutch. This costed another $1000 for the repairs, after which point I was on the road. I've had no problems since.
General comments?
Very simple design makes basic maintenance easy.
Reliable economical workhorse.
Lada Owner's club has been very helpful.
