"Lada Granta" machine - the opinions of experts, owner feedback

The domestic manufacturer for a long time did not please its consumers with cars with automatic transmission. And so, when the first cars with such boxes came out of the VAZ assembly line, both experts and buyers began to voraciously discuss novelties. One of them was the "Lada Granta" automaton, which was released for the first time in 2012 and caused an unprecedented interest in the society.

The manufacturer announced this bundle long before its appearance, whether studying demand, or forcing intrigue and excitement in the market. Initially, the "Grant" was positioned as a "people's" (that is, affordable) and at the same time a modern, high-tech car. What happened in the end? Call a novelty affordable, in principle, it is possible, because its cost in a minimal package is quite affordable for a potential consumer. On the other hand, the previous VAZ models were no less accessible ("Kalina" and "Priora" are still quite popular). "Grant" machine also seriously outperformed all potential competitors, turning out to be the cheapest car with automatic transmission. True, since the automatic box began to equip the "Kalina", there was a kind of race for the buyer between the models. But this manufacturer does not bother with a bit, because the internal struggle for the consumer can only increase sales.

Car enthusiasts who used to drive older VAZs were pleasantly surprised to see Grant. First, even the basic equipment is equipped with a safety cushion, and light alloy wheels, and many other options previously not available in domestic cars at all. Secondly, the interior of the salon was pleased: it was quite high quality and pleasant to the touch plastic, comfortable seats. Third, the "Grant" machine was not so gluttonous as the skeptics had predicted. With a volume of 1.6 cars does not fit into 10 liters of the city, but in a mixed cycle - quite. For a domestic car, this is in principle a little, but taking into account the fact that Renault and Nissan actively participated in its creation, it turns out to be too much.

Of course, Grant has its shortcomings, but despite all the disadvantages, most buyers of VAZ innovations are quite pleased with it (we can already talk about this, since there are copies whose run "crossed" the mark of 100 thousand km.)

Many skeptics explain the popularity of domestic models solely with the patronage of the president (some even talk about his advertising company). The truth is in this opinion for sure, but after all, the owners of the "Lada Grant" automatic reviews write independently, without the help of the first persons of the state. And they have a lot of positive things. Of course, the car is still called "damp" - it has a lot of minor flaws, but they can be tolerated for such a price. If the consumer is limited in means, but at the same time wants to buy a new car, one of the best options is just the "Grant" machine. Reviews say that, in spite of the disadvantages, it is still better than the old foreign car (it's certainly not worth buying a new one for this money).

In general, the "Grant" machine is not only fully has the right to exist, but has already found enough fans to be called a "people's car." Especially a lot of good words about it are written by girls who can finally buy a domestic car with automatic transmission and, remaining patriots of their country, ride with comfort and pleasure.
