Belgrade Car Show - Lada Kalina review

[psykotanks]

My Father have this car. I think it's underrated. Right, we only had it about 2 years but no problems during this time and the fuel economy is good.

[CherepanovKV]

in Russia 6500 euro

[middimar]

russian cars are not there yet

[discocreator76]

Neither have the germans, VW interiors aren't as well made as this and are terrible quality... at least the russians dont claim to be the best!!

[mickeymoose76]

That looks quite nice, well moulded and attractive plastics, only thing is that the design looks about 10 years out of date..

[doomedface]

maybe =) but anyway, nice))

[Chickenlool]

good looking

[dmatej79]

I have 36000 km on my 1118 - without problems. Fuel consumption: best 5.5, normal average 7.1, worst (fast ride - 160-190) 9.0 (numbers are real, not from computer - it has 0.15-0.20 positive error).

Max. speed 192 km/h (real), power - nearly same as best 1.4 16V Skoda fabia engine (74kW?) - tested on highways.

These are real data, not PR.

[doomedface]

I have 13000. Simillary, without problems. Consumption: 6/7/8 (95). 8 - with turned on conditioner.

[Collinss525]

This car is shit,shit,shit! Only exterior and interior are new, engine, suspension and transmission are made since 1984 !!!

[aravikipita]

since 1984? based on which model? thought it shared mechanical parts with opel corsa..saw one today at a car dealers, it isn^t so bad..the quality is much better than older ladas..

[dmatej79]

This car has nothing to do with VAZ210x.

[doomedface]

ok, look at new engines (1,4, 90 hp; 1,6 100 hp; 1,6 125 hp) and what would you say? 211x may only dream about them)

[goranratkovic]

If this is a copy of Opel Corsa, then bear in your mind that Avtovaz (Lada) and Opel (which is in fact General Motors) have cooperated together in the past 10-15 years. So, no use of blaming russians to have made a car that looks like their cooperant.

Btw, this is pretty nice car, with solid exterior/interior and costs about 8200€ in Serbia with Euro4 engine.

[OpelGTC]

I didn't said that it's a ,,copy,,.The Kalina is inspired,by the Opel Corsa B Sedane,but modified structure and a facelift...

[goranratkovic]

I agree thar Lada designers found inspiration in the Corsa B (not only sedane, but also in hatchback), yet generally Kalina is structyrally completely different. The same goes to interior.

And technically - everything is different. Although Avotvaz have experimented with GM/Opel engines in early 1990s, this 1.6 litre in Kalina as the same engine block and modified engine head like the Samara and 211x series before it. They all had the same engine block on 1.1, 1.3, 1.5 and 1.6 engines.

[doomedface]

but the 1.4 litre engine is absolutely different. I have Kalina with this one.

[pravedni87]

Great car!

[mickeymoose76]

as geraint0808 says it look a nice enough little car for maybe £6-7000 in the UK. Much better than the horrible noisy, rough old samaras and Rivas...

[AZLKfan]

imi21099 was kostet Lada Kalina?

[gonaone]

In Filand up 13 000€..

Cartaxes make it useless to buy, because it double it¨s prize.

[AZLKfan]

[peter455sd]

[boris348723]

[HeAdYNuKeR]

... fiat bravo O_o

[OpelGTC]

It's a facelift of the Opel Corsa B.Russians loved Opel so much,that they took some of the factories form Germany,with the employees,to Russia :D

[gurugerus]

du hast recht man

[hostman86]

лучше чем чери, но...

[jeka300]

ВАУ! иномарка!

[geraint0808]

I hope this car brings the Lada name back to the British market, it seems a vast improvement over the Samara.

[maverick669]

its not a improvemente over the samara..its a new car

[Yckx88]

very simple, very cheap.

nice choice for those, who cant afford buying expensive vehicle.

[venichen1]

Not bad for a Lada.
