"Spot" (car): specifications and photos

The product of the Russian car industry VAZ-2115, or "Lada Samara-2", it's also a "speck", is a machine that is nothing more than a restyling version of the VAZ-21099, produced from 1997 to 2012. What is this model?

About the car

The first plans of the designers intended to create an improved version of the popular "ninety-ninth", which implied introducing drastic changes in the main components of the car, including the engine and the chassis. But for various reasons, this bold modernization plan was abandoned, and most of the mechanisms were simply rearranged from the predecessor.

At the same time, it can not be said that "ninety-ninth" is the same as "spot". The car was somewhat transformed. As a result, for all 15 years, that cars of this model came off the assembly line, about 750 thousand copies were produced.

Appearance

The exterior has become more solid due to improved front optics and light signals. The shape of the car changed, as a result, they became less angular. "Spot" is a car, the photo of which makes it possible to see the attractiveness of such a model.

Another of the pleasant innovations can be noted increase in the space of the trunk. Loading height was lower, which facilitated the process of putting things in the car and then extracting them from there.

Among the useful changes is the opportunity to install heated seats, the presence of electric lifts and fog lamps, which was a big plus for owners. In addition, the "spot" is a machine that is already equipped with an on-board computer in the base configuration.

Motor characteristics

Initially, the vehicle was equipped with only one engine option. A half-liter carburetor engine, which produced only 72 horsepower, was frankly weak. Virtually all owners noted that this site could not boast of a "spot". The car, whose engine characteristics were clearly not at altitude, differed in speed only when there was one driver in the cabin. At full load it was obvious that the heart of an iron horse can not cope with the load.

Three years after the start of the assembly of the model, small changes were made to the power unit: an additional 6 horsepower were added to the power. In another seven years, it was decided to install a new engine. And the "speck" - the car, which received an engine volume of 1.6 liters from 81 hp, became more like motorists.

Owner feedback

A car is a complex technical device that, besides performing the main task (to be a means of transportation), must satisfy other people's needs, growing as science and technology develop. Therefore, when choosing an iron horse, motorists want to get a large number of options. Part of the owners, talking about the "spot" - a Russian-made car, compare it with the relatives made by famous auto giants in other countries. Obviously, in such comparisons she seriously loses. But many say that in general, the car at an affordable price was good.

Among the shortcomings are the following:

• Quickly erased paint;
• Corrosion proof;
• A small space for passengers sitting behind;
• Poor sound insulation;
• Low-power engine.

In addition to an affordable price "spot" has the following advantages:

• Low fuel consumption;
• Inexpensive parts that are always available;
• Sturdy body;
• Spacious trunk;
• Attractive appearance.

"Spot" is a car whose technical characteristics are not particularly impressive, but she found her customers. For someone, she became a disappointment, and someone, with their own little flaws, a good and reliable friend.
