I Don't Think This Lada Riva 1500 Is Bad Car At A
I don't think this Lada Riva 1500 is bad car at all.
If You supply it with gas it will be much cheaper for driving.
Spare parts are cheap, it is strong wehicle and may last very long with basic maintenance.
Also it carry up to 1600 pounds of weght.
nenad12, you are right. The Lada Riva 1500 is virtually a Fiat 124 built to withstand the rigours of the Russian climate. If it is as reliable, peppy and economical as the 124 I had in the late 70s, then you'll be well-served. I realise car technology has moved on, but the 124 in its heyday was streets ahead of its UK competitors and had the great advantage of having all-independent suspension.

The Lada Riva 1500 Is An Excellent Car If You Lowe
The Lada Riva 1500 is an excellent car if you lower it, blank out the windows, add tri spoke alloys, a neon light and paint it black - trust me! Oh and there is plenty of room in the back for a huge sound system. A bargain if ever I saw one!!!!!

I'm Use That Car More Than 5 Years In Moscow (russ
I'm use that car more than 5 years in Moscow (Russia). Of course it's absolutely nonprestigious car, my friends often ask my why i'm so drive this ugly and cheap-looking car. But my lada with it's aged design work like a horse. With ancient carburatour fuel system lada can easily starts at -27 degrees on Celsious (my boss last winter couldn't stat his brand new peugeout 607 when temperature fall below -20 degrees). Of course the lada's autoparts aren't so reliable, than MB or VW, but they cost several times cheaper, then for example for german or japanese cars. A lot of service operations the owner can easily do on one's own, often it's real enjoy to the skilful hands man. So Lada not so bad or terrible car. We say about that kind of things: sheap and angrily.

I Found This Car Funny Because Its So Cheap And Yo
I found this car funny because its so cheap and you dont care about it as much you can drive it a bit mad off the road and not worry to much if it gets pranged. my mate had one and on private land we manged to take it side ways around courners and do all sorts of things very amusing! not the one for looks or proformance but when its gutted out with a roll cage on private land who cares!

This Car Is So Bad It Can't Be Put Into Words. I B
This car is so bad it can't be put into words. I bought it for £15. It was either that or a few pints. The thing is truely pants. It broke down after ten minutes. It set me and my family on fire. I now live in the wreckage of the car, using a celeron and a hamster wheel to review this car. AVOID.
I agree, even lotus couldn't make a lada into a decent lookin or comparative performing car.
Erm, why is this car being reviewed in the Boy Racers Section?
Excuse me Gaz, but it really was so bad in the other parts it didn't deserve 1/10. For example, the smell coming from it would have got 0/10 and makes the overall score 0...
Dude - you rated it as 2/10 for value for money ......????!!!???? and overall 0/10 ....Mathimatically, it should be 1/10 or 2/10 overall. You speak sh1t of the highest proportion !

What Can I Say Komrades, Having Saved For Over 10
What can i say komrades, having saved for over 10 years i have now purchased a 1985 Lada Riva 1500!
I have already modified the car by turning the wheels inside out giving a very sporty wide-wheel look to the car. I have been told also that by painting the bonnet matt black i can improve aero-dynamics. Finally i hear that very soon i can purchase a fine big-bore exhaust trim, just the thing to attract the babushkas!!
Damn funny! Where can I buy one?
