"Lada Vesta" (mechanics): owner reviews

I Hardly need the extra time to talk about the distrust of Russian domestic auto industry. Too many failures and mistakes have been made by engineers and designers. However, in 2015 the domestic premiere of the car "Lada Vesta", which was supposed to be a hit, along with the crossover "X-ray". Let's take a closer look to is it worth the money car with the mechanics. "Lada Vesta", which reviews are already more than enough, is quite an interesting car both externally and internally.

Some General information

First of all, I would like to mention that the automatic transmission for the "West" is not as such. The management stated that if it is to be implemented, it is only a few years. It is possible that the sale will not go properly, so the installation of the automatic transmission is generally impractical. Therefore, at present there is a possibility to buy a car just for the mechanics. "Lada Vesta", reviews of which will be discussed in this article is really a great leap of the domestic automobile industry forward. Of course, to catch up with European and Asian competitors will have to sweat, and it would take a lot of time.

But now we can say that some success has managed to achieve. The design of the car attracts attention, but to call it unusual is quite difficult. As for the interior, there are a few more interesting details, rather than outside. Regarding the technical part, it's a normal sedan, which is unlikely to drive because the motors are a choice of 2: 1.6, and the 1.6-liter from the “Nissan”. Both of them are equipped with a manual transmission.

A Little about the exterior of the car

The First impression on any car formed in his appearance. As for the "Vesta", her design is somewhat similar to "Volvo". This is not surprising, because the development was attended by a former employee of Volvo. However, there is something to see. One of the stylistic features, is the presence of forming a zigzag shape on the side of the car. As for optics, here there is some angularity, and elongation. The car has a predatory look, that is only a plus. As for the rear lights, they can be described as completely normal. Although they could be done and a few more, as the backdrop of the massive rear of the car, they look somewhat awkward.

A Few altered designers and emblem. On the "Vesta", the boat became noticeably wider, and the sail divided into several lines. Overall this is a very well decorated bumper "Lada". Well, now let's go ahead and look at the car.

In Brief about interior

As for the interior, the first impression is largely dependent on vehicle specification. Of course, even in a base complete set has everything you need. However, the essence is revealed in the most expensive version. Here and modern multimedia system. The sound of many motorists praise and say that it came out very decent. A wide touch pad in the center of the torpedo looks great. But it is necessary not only as decor, and to perform a number of tasks, such as managing audio, navigation, etc.

Plastic designers used moderately hard and durable. Seat combination, made of fabric and leather. The instrument panel also looks rich. Especially pay attention to the colors, which turned out to be quite successful. The combination of green and white looks great. Eyes are not tired, because the colors are saturated, but not bright, and if necessary they can be adjusted. Most of the motorists interiors were satisfied, talking about this reviews. "Lada Vesta" (mechanics) in the base has no power accessories. It is only available in the "Suite", it is rather a minus, but that's to be expected.

The new"Lada Vesta" (mechanics): owner reviews

First and foremost, you pay attention to drivers "Vesta", is the transmission. Many motorists would like to have the possibility of buying a car with an automatic transmission. Unfortunately, at the moment there is no such possibility. Currently installed 5-testudinata transmission that was borrowed from the company "Renault". Thanks to the French. managed to significantly reduce the vibration and noise level, which directly affected the level of comfort in the car while driving.

Drivers note that the manual gearbox from Renault is quite reliable and perfectly adapted to operate on the territory of the Russian Federation. However, the installation of such transmission some impact on the final cost of the car, but according to designers, it was worth it. The Assembly of the manual transmission is done at Togliatti plant. Also in the future I plan to install a robotic gearbox, which has long had "a Grant". It is tested and proved to be the best.

The Power unit vehicle

Motors are mounted on "news", meet modern environmental standards Euro-5, so their sustainability once again say no. Drivers more interested in reliability and engine selection. Our database is 8-valve engine capacity of 87 horsepower. But most experienced drivers prefer to buy cars with the new 16-valve engine capacity of 1.6 liters and 106 HP According to many, this power unit can be considered optimal. The top engine from the "Nissan Sentra" on a 1.6 litre engine boasts a capacity of 116 HP, but will cost a bit more.

The Developers are already working on "Lada Vesta" of 1.8 (mech). Reviews about this power unit can not be found, as it is not released yet. As for power, it is likely that it will not exceed 130-140 BHP But this will be enough for a comfortable and dynamic drive. In General, the motorists prefer to choose motor 1.6 106 HP It is not a "vegetable", as 87 HP, but also more easy to maintain than the more powerful counterpart.

Specifications

Currently available three configurations:

• Classic;
• Comfort;
• Suite.

Basic - it is almost "empty" in terms of filling the car. At the same time, motorists often draw the attention of potential buyers. But even here, there are already options like L-shaped cushion rear seats, adjustable steering wheel tilt, and passive and active security systems. A complete set of "classic" is audiopreparation.

Revision of "Comfort" differs little from the base, although there is a slight change. More interesting is the luxurious equipment. The vehicle in this case is equipped with a rain sensor, heated side mirrors, seats, Windows, and also displays the sensors with rear view camera. But that's not all. What attracts most advanced audio system with a large number of settings. Many drivers who have already bought this car, I advise you to spend money on "Luxury", than leave appropriate feedback. "Lada Vesta" on the mechanics in the base and the maximum configuration is two different things.

Is it Worth the money?

This issue is of interest to potential buyers of "Lada Vesta". The fact is that read the reviews can be confusing. Some drivers consider that for this money it is better to buy already proven "Solaris" or "Rio", while others are more inclined to domestic car. Speaking about prices, today approximately 640 000 rubles to buy "news" in the maximum configuration, and the same "Solaris" only in the database. Another question - "What is better?" Russian engineers have tried to make the car competitive in this price range. Apparently, it turned out fine. After all, the build quality here is high. This is due partly to the fact that the development took part as designers of the company "Renault" and "Nissan". It is possible to create "people's car" which would be a very reliable and hardy. So this machine is definitely worth the funds.

A Bit about the benefits

Let's take a look at the reviews of automobile owners. "Lada Vesta" on the mechanics, in the opinion of the majority, it is relatively economical and low maintenance car. As for the fuel consumption in the urban cycle is about 10-11 liters. Actually for the engine 1.6 is not a good indicator, but it can be called moderate. Also very often focus on the undercarriage. The car really responds well to the slightest movement of the driver. Suspension reliable and "swallows" most of the irregularities in the road surface. Motorists also appreciated and clearance of 178 mm. It is very important in the operation of the vehicle in Russia.

Target audience

The designers and the designers had quite an important task - to make so that the car was in demand in the wider circles of the population. To achieve this not so simple, but turned out to be quite possible. In the cabin the car is very spacious,...
