My uncle have one, model from 2004. The suspension is chevrolet and it breaks like mad. He drive it on country ways (his job require it). The car come with rust under the paint, and after few years, like 4 all all over the body there were rust spots, they just painted the rusty steel when they made it... I don`t believe they used even stainless steel or anti corrosion paint on the metal.
I admit that i am a little car bised but i have a 88 suzuki samuri and i think it could hold it own with the Niva and i know from experiance that it will kick big suvs asses on roads like that but still i think it is a really cool suv i would like to see them brought to the states
@lalunette no thank you for your help but i have a suzuki samurai and i love it i have full confidance that it would make the same trip you may have to learn how to drive it but once you do it wont dissapoint
@lalunette ha ha yeah i dont blame you but im 5'6" so i dont have that problem its kinda funny im 19 and the size of a highschool freshman oh well what can you do i can hold my own (except basket ball ha)
you know what,why am i even comparibg a jaguar with this piece of shit its official ALL BRITISH AND GERMAN CARS ARE THE BEST EXCEPT VW LOL lada deseves to be compared to dull toyota,lexus,skoda. because it doesnt even reach the knee of the excellence of german and british cars. only disgusting poor people with no class drive ladas if you want offroad capabilities buy land rover or jeep.
@moneshmahtani And get stuck with jeep or land rover? Nope I'd rather buy UAZ... BTW Germans are only good with electronics. Oops One chip get in circuit and whole car stops. WoW that you really need in wild. Simple is better. I do not have nothing against fancy electronic and I love it. My favorite car is Volvo XC90. But you are ignorant. Lada is cheep and kick ass.
@moneshmahtani You do not have idea what are you talking about obliviously. Without style. Honestly Yugo has more style than what you did sad... Land rover or Jeep. Just continue to joke your self for off road...
Ah cmon guys! this is not real offroad test, this is just easy shit! with my lada niva, i`ve been driving in much more awful places than these... LADA NIVA IS THE BEST!!!
@tramvaj12 lada is soooo rubbish maybe the worst car ever made all the models of the russians are rubbish and so bad fact russia can not make good cars and any worst german or american car is better than best russian car
@maxthehulk Hahahahahahaa seen your Germans and americans die out on cold winters... In EU Lada Niva is a well known and long proved vehicle nothing stands on its way when it comes to durability and hardness... No radio but when she pulls up a 70 degrees hill you don't care.... People leave their Lada's outside on cold winter cause they know the car is built for it.. Its not built for looks and luxury it built to get you where you want whenever you want...
@lalunette iam from egypt and here in egypt there are more than one milion lada and people love it here but i do not live it because i did drive and i found it good for off roading only but it is soo solid and hard
i own 2001 jeep cherokee 4.0 l i6 190 hp 225 lb-f automatic and it can smash this ugly lada
@maxthehulk You have to joke :D. Jeep cherokee LOL.. The only good about it I do not know? Is there any? Germans better in luxury and technology, Russian cheaper and better for rough terrain where that Jeep would stuck in no time....
@maxthehulk And yet somehow I manage to go with Yugoslavian car where German, British or American cars fail. And Czech and France is keeping up. So do not talk bull shit. I do not remember when I gone to service yet my friend new Mercedes couldn't even go on snow and it is hard to maintenance and it is expensive as hell and still France car has better everything than that Mercedes in the same class.
Put freakin' diesel in it! Even old 1z vw group engine, it would be perfect. My father had two of those. None of them did more than 100k km and both had almost everything changed, so exactly what reliability?
This venchile shows on the world what really means SUV..X5,Q7,Q5 .. they are just for reach people if you really need good offroader you should buy LADA NIVA not those modern cars who are just called offroaders.. :)
@Desmonddd2002 I would say that lada should be tougher. Because it's unbelievably simple. It's just wheels, seats and a steel cabin. And all the engineering (even there isn't much of it) is very tough and very simple. In short, lada (and other Russian vehicles of such type) just have so little places to go wrong. But even if it breaks down you can still finish your journey :D

@suzukiSJ88 - Detroit will NEVER allow new Ladas into the US. The best you can do is impost an old one from Canada but it has to be an old one.
Check out Lada USA Discussion Forum for good info on Nivas and importing to the US.

@maxthehulk Do you own one? Have you driven one? Probably not.
I have had 2 wagons so far. One was an '86 bought in 1987and my current one is a 91 bought in '08. I love these cars.
There is nothing pretentious about them. They are good solid cars.
It is tru that it is not suitable to most Americans because they can't drive standard and know nothing about maintaining vehicles.
