В свое время новый ВАЗ-2107 считался самым modern of all models ever produced in Togliatti. The exterior design was distinguished by the elegance of the lines, and in the cabin the high, massive backs of the front seats almost rested against the ceiling. The car's exterior produced a favorable impression, and the interior was puzzling. What was the point in the backs of the aircraft-type seats, is still unclear.
Тем не менее "семерка" получила путевку в жизнь, its production began in 1982. With a few breaks, the new VAZ-2107 was produced until the spring of 2012. Currently, the model is collected in Egypt, and it still finds its buyer. The predecessor of the "seven" is a car VAZ-2105, which was produced from 1979 to 2010. The issue of the "five" was terminated due to lack of demand. The VAZ-2107 model remained on the market, but it also gradually lost the buyer due to serious problems in the engine design. The weak point of the motor was the camshaft drive belt.
The toothed belt could not bear the load in one of thethe most stressed engine nodes. Even the double steel chains in the VAZ-2103 and VAZ-2106 engines could not do this, let alone the rubber belt reinforced with cotton threads. Thus, the design flaws brought the new VAZ-2107 out of the category of high-demand cars. However, thanks to its reputation of a beautiful modern car, the "seven" remained on the market and is slowly being sold. The manufacturer honestly tries to improve the characteristics of the car, the car began to install rotary-piston engines of the "Wankel" system, but the buyers mostly do not trust the unusual motor and buy the car in no hurry.
With some stretch, the new VAZ-2107 can be calledthe most comfortable domestic rear-wheel drive sedan. In the implementation of the car, its re-export status helps, at all large parts of the "seven" there is an "E" sign, which means that the car is included in the number intended for export. The psychology of the modern buyer has not changed since the collapse of the USSR. Many believe in the myth that the goods are sent for export after careful selection and can not have defects or any drawbacks. Thus, re-export "sevens", which are not at all, are bought from hands like VAZ-2107. The price new to such a car varies between 45 and 190 thousand rubles.
Currently in Egypt is producedmodified model VAZ-21073, equipped with a 2103 engine, capacity of 1.7 liters, 85 liters capacity. from. with a centralized injection and a CO2 catalyst. The engine runs on high-octane gasoline. Another modification of the "seven" is made with the engine, adapted for gasoline A-76. These cars are sent to China. The chassis of the VAZ-2107 is still reliable and consists of a front independent suspension with spring and hydraulic shock absorbers and a rear suspension pendulum with a transverse stabilizer. The brake system of the car is dual-circuit, the brakes on the front wheels are disc, on the rear drum. The new VAZ-2107 is equipped with titanium wheel disks.
