Description: You’ve probably never thought of the US automotive market as being lucky for having gotten the Yugo, but it was a damn S-Class compared to the Lada Riva. Ok, that might have been a slight exaggeratio...Add Comments6
jenni_drivesFeb 22, 2013 Oscar, what country are you from?
Oscar OconorFeb 21, 2013 Hey i live here in miami and i saw 2 lada there are good cars, sad that to get parts to fix it you have to order them at the internet.
Massimo AmodeoFeb 21, 2013 just remember that in the 70s the fiat 124 was pretty competitive at the montecarlo rally, and that its engine was pretty modern. not so bad, after all.
Drew HumphreyFeb 21, 2013 Sort of an oxymoronic car...so terrible but so many were sold.
Cian Mac GearailtFeb 21, 2013 Some would say due to it lasting so long with not many styling changes it is the best looking car in the world
Description: The history of the Riva starts in 1966. Fiat had just debuted the small 124 model, and would enter into an agreement with the government of the Soviet Union to allow license-built versions to be built...Add Comments0
Description: It made just 58 horsepower, but weighed only 2,105lbs. Given the fact that Fiat’s own reputation for build quality when it came to the original 124 was pretty appalling, the VAZ-2101 was just bad, not...Add Comments0
Description: Production was also no longer limited to Russia, as the Ukrainian version was built by ZAZ, as well as a versions for what was then West Germany (not a typo, it was west). These cars were pretty terri...Add Comments0
Description: In 2010, the sedan model was discontinued, followed in 2012 by the wagon. But that’s just in Eastern Europe. If you want a brand new version of a Soviet redesign of an ancient Fiat, you’re in luck. Th...Add Comments0
Thomas VesterlingFeb 21, 2013 @Rql Lm the third (shortes one) is for the center difflock
Quinn ConnerFeb 21, 2013 Tall lever, gear selector
Front most short lever, diff locking of all 4 wheels (4wd)
Rear most lever, hi lo range for 4wd
Logan DelonyFeb 21, 2013 Watch out Rolls Royce, we've got some competition over here.
Patrick JosephFeb 21, 2013 The seats are probably ripped out of the factory.
Ashton SummersFeb 21, 2013 The third lever is special hammer to hit transmission for when syncros get jammed -- said in soviet accent. Lol, gearbox probably has no syncros.
Cian Mac GearailtFeb 21, 2013 My gueas is engage 4wd low ratio box high ratio
Adam ThomsonFeb 21, 2013 WTH three Transmissions?????
Rql LmFeb 21, 2013 This is a lada "Niva" interior, I did my homework, ofcourse. But I'm still wondering, there's a gear and a 4x4 lever, what's the third one for?
Jason WareFeb 21, 2013 Whooooo. Look at that. 58 horses of pure beast
Cian Mac GearailtFeb 21, 2013 Ohh look at that powerful engine piece of art grrrrrr!!!!
Description: It’s that particular blend of Soviet influence on a car that is now nearly 50 years old and comes from an era when Fiat was itself a joke when it came to things like reliability. It is a perfect storm...Add Comments5
Jake DulaFeb 21, 2013 Finally a car to make my Fiesta look like a Veyron ROFL
Ryan LopezFeb 21, 2013 For that money you can have a blind fold on and pick something better
Patrick JosephFeb 21, 2013 Damn right not cheap enough. Who in his right mind would rather have a brand new lada rather than a brilliant second hand car?
Ashton SummersFeb 21, 2013 Well, it's Egypt. No since having a nice car. It will be banged up in less than an hour after delivery... In fact it will be banged up prior to delivery. Trading paint is the national pass time there.
Lou GuerreroFeb 22, 2013 A three legged blind man can see its an intercooler (air to air is usual turbo FYI). I'm wondering how they cool the engines radiator. This wasn't built with hard driving in mind.
Jason WareFeb 21, 2013 That's an intercooler which means that little thing is supercharged. Shaved door handles, ridiculous wing. What's just as funny is the karate kids rising sun on the celica in the background. 3 gold stars if he has the headband to match
