VAZ 14 - reliable "Sputnik"
Release of front-wheel drive cars in the hatchback of the "Sputnik / Samara" series began at the Volzhsky Automobile Plant decades ago. These were the first cars, the appearance and technical characteristics of which went beyond the "classics" that had been produced before.
In the serial production four-door hatchback was delivered in 2003, it is planned to finish the production at the end of 2013. After showing VAZ 14 to the general public, the car caused a positive surge of emotions and, as a result, increased sales. It was already another "Sputnik": with a European instrument panel, adjustable steering column, a new interior heater, electric windows and an updated modern design.
In 2007, a fundamentally new power unit (1.6 l) is being installed at VAZ 14. This innovation had a positive impact on the car - now it meets modern requirements, but the catalyst itself is already located not under the bottom, but near the motor. The torpedo and the interior elements of plastic in general are now made of even more rigid material, and a list of options added on-board computer designed specifically for VAZ 14. Tuning such, judging by the sales volume, went to the car for good.
After all the upgrades VAZ 14 - the model "Samara" - and to this day remains the car for all occasions. It is universal and equally good both in operation in city conditions, and on a high-speed highway. The interior and exterior can hardly be called modern, all the same, Western automakers in this respect have raised the bar high, but there is something in it that is native to it, which to this day makes it a favorite for many admirers.
