When you buy the first car, you really want,that it was new. Firstly, it's nice to drive. Secondly, you will answer for your mistakes yourself, and not the previous owner. Therefore, not for long chose between a second-hand Volkswagen and a new Lada Kalina. I bowed to the second option. I do not argue that the reviews read about Lada Kalina did not inspire. But I decided to learn from my own mistakes. Therefore, I purchased Lada 1117 Kalina 1.6i 116-30 of the year 2010.
The first 6 months I had my car completelysatisfied. Practically there were no censures. Since I conscientiously looked after her and if necessary I went to a car repair shop. The only thing that needed to be done with an enviable regularity was to change the oil. Only after 7 months of careful operation the motor became a little naughty. But in the car service this problem was quickly eliminated.
Among the shortcomings that have appeared over time, isnote the loud sound of the engine, which in the first months was not the most pleasant accompaniment to driving. Only having produced a muffler on the 19000, it disappeared forever. Seal oil seals for two years, but this is a small problem. Suspension is a little sensitive, a good master will eliminate this problem. The main thing is to find such a master. But on the road you feel quite comfortable. Although it is sometimes difficult to get out of deep pits. But you can do it. If you remember a couple of minuses, then with some owners of Lada Kalina, whose reviews I read, I can agree that a second whistle is heard at the second speed. He is not particularly tense and harms extremely irritable people.
Of the advantages of Lada Kalina I want to notemaneuverability. It is quite compact and with skillful driving in the city with it there are no problems. Although, if you read about Lada Kalina reviews of other motorists, they are often "catching up", and after such "meetings" have to do repairs. But in my case, this has never happened. Do not forget about the excellent climate control. In the cabin you feel very comfortable, often do not want to leave the car. Long could not figure out the heated glass. Only after three weeks I was able to assess these benefits. I really liked the optics installed on the headlights. Perhaps I write spiritually, because in my first car I liked a lot.
Another undeniable advantage is the economical consumption of gasoline. After all, for 6-7 liters of "eaten" fuel is literally a gift.
Недавно знакомый купил Лада Калина универсал, reviews about the car, he only positive. Although it has already traveled more than 30,000 kilometers, it is still pleased. Before that, he had the old wonders of the automotive industry of his native VAZ, so he has something to compare with.
Pro Lada Kalina reviews of owners are likenegative, and positive nature. But as with any other machine, an unusual lottery occurs during assembly. If there was an auto good assembly, then you can ride on it for a long time, happily and without problems. And when the car was collected on an "unfortunate" day, then the fate of her will be similar. Much depends on the service as well, since real professionals who skillfully make repairs of any complexity, just transferred.
If I did not have to give it to my wife, then sodrove her. Only the second one did not want to buy the same, so I bought a Honda Civic. Of course, the comparison can not be. This thing is real. But the price for the pleasure is appropriate. Therefore, in my opinion, Lada Kalina is best suited for beginners who want to learn how to ride without being unduly inconvenient. Moreover, the price, which is set on new cars, is very acceptable. Only a used Lada Kalina should not be taken, otherwise there will be a lot of problems.
