The VAZ-2112 engine is currently the best domestic engine. Its operation has shown that it is the most reliable.
The neatly placed power unit is covered with an elegant black plastic cover, which protects the engine components and units from dirt and dust, water, salt and snow.
The engine very clearly fulfills any driver's desire for smooth movement and sharp pressing of the gas pedal. The engine picks up speed without dips and causes a feeling of satisfaction from movement. You don't want to drive the car slowly, it literally asks to press the gas pedal. And if you don't like high speeds and a sporty driving style, driving this car is pleasant even at low speed. You can move off by releasing the clutch pedal and without pressing the gas pedal.
A dynamic car needs effective brakes. The Lada-103 has ventilated discs with an increased diameter at the front and reliable drum brakes at the rear; operating experience shows that the braking distance and deceleration of the 103rd model and the "pure ten" are more effective, especially at speeds over 100 km/h.
New brakes required increasing the diameter of the wheels, and the 103rd model is equipped with wheels with tire size 175/65-R14. Large wheels made the Lada-103 more stable, controllable, and the car began to look more impressive.
The car body looks elegant, high-quality paint and varnish coating make it attractive. The gaps between the body parts are uniform along the entire length, small and approaching imported gaps, the bumper and plastic trims are neatly adjusted. Easily closing door locks indicate the quality of the body assembly.
Operating the car on bad roads, when the main load falls on the suspension, shows that it solves the tasks set before it without any problems.
"Lada-103" is a very reliable and fast car, pleasing with low fuel consumption at high speeds, as if it was created for long trips.
