Owners of Lada Granta. Real facts about the car

There are already enough owners of Lada Granta and many have already shared their experience in operating this car. For this site, too, many car owners talked about their Lada Grant, about the operation and about the problems that have already happened with their cars. Basically, while the owners are very happy with the car, since most of them are the former owners of the classics.

Sergey Stary Oskol. The owner is Lada Granta Sedan. December 2011. complete set norm.

Even before the release in car dealerships, I had already made a decision to buy this car, owning an old VAZ 21099 at that time. I made an order back in September in Voronezh and they told me that at the end of December my car should be in the cabin. I didn’t think that they would bring me a car before the New Year, but on December 30 they called me from a car dealership and said that on the 31st you can come for a car, that is, tomorrow. Without hesitation, gathered in the evening and prepared for the trip. Went the next day with his father for his swallow. We arrived at the salon and were slightly surprised, since I ordered a standard package for 229 thousand, and they brought me a norm for 256 thousand rubles. Of course, it was unexpected for me, but I was lucky that I took an extra 30 thousand. As it turns out, I needed them. In this configuration, the machine has an electric power steering, of course a cool thing, after the ninety-ninth model it’s just a luxury. You can turn the steering wheel with one finger. I really liked the interior, very comfortable and spacious, and at least four of us sit in the back seat. There was silence in the cabin, at first it was unusual, at a speed of 100 km / h the road was not audible at all. I didn’t really like the quality of the plastic in the cabin, it’s very hard, although there are no extraneous sounds and squeaks, which pleases. And the instrument panel itself is beautiful, the arrows on the speedometer and tachometer are very clearly visible, and I was pleased with the multifunctional on-board computer. On it you can see fuel consumption, charging the car's on-board network, the level of gasoline in the tank is also shown on the computer, there are no arrows for fuel. For 4 months of operation there were no problems with the car, I bought only accessories. Put the music, two front speakers, alarm feedback and alloy wheels. Now my car looks much prettier than before. What else pleased me in the car was just a huge trunk, compared with previous VAZ models, Grants' trunk is unrivaled. The car is worth the money, even more than that - I think that this is the best solution even in comparison with cheap foreign cars.

Vladimir. Moscow city. I own a Granta Sedan. bought on January 25, 2012. equipment standard.

The owners of Lada Granta basically all praise the cars, and I would like to start with criticism. Firstly, it is very difficult to buy a car not only in Moscow and the region, but throughout Russia there is such a problem. Even those who made an order via the Internet, some of them still have not received the car. Secondly, just as in the previous review, instead of a car of one configuration, a completely different car is brought. Of course, I understand that sales need to be done, well, you at least warn the owners, otherwise people are driving for a car from other regions, hoping for one complete set, and in the end they get something completely different from what they wanted. The negative moments are practically over. I have been operating the car for more than 7000 km, so far everything is like clockwork. I don't like the rumbling when the 8-valve engine is running, it works like a diesel engine. But a reliable design, does not bend the valve when the timing belt breaks. Very good traction at low revs. I didn't really like the rigid suspension, the car around the city is not very comfortable, the suspension constantly beats off. And one more problem with it, which also slightly pisses me off: when the reverse gear is turned on, the gearshift lever crunches, or rather the synchronizers, but not always. I heard that this disease is familiar to all car owners, not only Grants, but also Kalina and Priory. Probably this is not treated at Avtovaz. But still, even with all these shortcomings, this car is worth the money, and the owners will support me.

Ivan Petrovich. St. Petersburg. The happy owner of the complete set is the norm. March 2012.

I ordered it in February, as you can see, I didn't have to wait long, and probably I was lucky, they brought exactly the car that I ordered and the color and equipment are the same as I wanted. In the car dealership I immediately ordered anti-corrosion treatment of the body, spilled it as expected, followed the craftsmen. I also bought the mats right away in the salon, though they cost a lot, but I never regret the money for a new car. What I liked is that you do not need to put the front wheel arch liners, they are from the factory, especially since they are not attached to self-tapping screws. But I refused from the rear ones, did not begin to perforate the body, I just asked that the processing be done better under the rear fenders. When I drove the car home, which is 200 km, I kept the speed no more than 120 km / h, contrary to the recommendations of the operating manual. I have my own opinion on this, not a single car has run in yet, and all engines worked perfectly without any repairs for at least 300 thousand km. Grant's rides in the first few thousand are stupid, but then everything will get used to it, it will be much better, especially since the engine is new with light connecting rods and pistons, its power is 90 hp. By the way, I compared it with an ordinary eight-valve, the new motor will be faster in dynamics, and it does not make so much noise. The salon pleasantly surprised me with its silence, until no crickets were found, I hope that this will be the case in the future. A spacious trunk is very useful for me, since I have to go to the dacha very often. So the summer is ahead, I will roll my Lada Grana as expected. And I wish all the owner good luck on the road.
