1994 Lada 2105 1.2 petrol from Egypt
Summary:
Although mine is considered to be clean, a Lada is one of the worst cars in the world
Faults:
My father used to own this car. He bought it new in 1994 and gave it to me in 2011.
The car is very well maintained, but has lots of discomforts.
First thing is there is only a manual 4 speed gear box; that is the reason for a very high engine sound while running fast.
No power steering.
Engine temperature is not stable; sometimes it goes high, and other times it is pretty good.
The maximum speed I drove in that Lada was 140 km/h. The car will not accelerate more, even if you stood on the accelerator.
I don't advise anyone to get a Lada. It's not easy to drive and it's not reliable.
There is no A/C.
The clutch breaks out easily, and don't ever forget, there's no power steering and it's only a 4 speed gear box.
If you can buy any other thing for its price, just go ahead.
General Comments:
This car is generally unreliable. Can't be used as a traveling car or a big city car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Great review. Very thorough and informative. Also it is nice that you fixed and explained what needed to be fixed, instead of just running it into the ground as most people do with these cars. I really believe that these cars are worth driving, they only need to be tuned and refined a bit by the owner, and thus can "bond" with the car even more.
