Reviews of the owners of Lada Priora:
Like many other cars, this car has a number of pros and cons. The advantages include the comfort of the cabin, which compared to the "classics" went to a completely different level. The control panel is quite convenient and informative, there is no need to reach for half a meter to turn on the desired button or switch a new lever. Stylish design, flowing lines, beautiful shapes that are not inferior to European brands, like many owners of Lada Priora.
Reviews indicate that this front-wheel drive car has good cross-country ability, the front wheels easily pull the car even from snowy parking. Many say that the Lada Priora is quite maneuverable and easily controlled, quickly and accurately responds to steering turns.
What else are the advantages of the car Lada Priora? The reviews indicate that the car starts easily when the thermometer is 25-30 degrees below zero, which is important for the cold Russian climate. The stove works perfectly - in the cabin in just a few minutes it becomes warm, roomy trunk. The car’s suspension is evaluated on a solid 4-point system using a five-point system - the machine “swallows” small bumps, large ones, and there are many of them on Russian roads, they are quite noticeable in the passenger compartment of the Lada Priora car.
Owner reviews indicate that another plus of the car is the large heated side mirrors that remain clean even in rainy weather and during the period of massive snow melting.
However, there are also negative reviews:
Lada Priora, as many owners note, is an easy-to-drive car with excellent brakes when driving at speeds of up to 125-140 km per hour. At high speeds, the braking quality is reduced.
Cons of the car of this brand are characteristic of the entire domestic automotive industry - the reliability of components and components leaves much to be desired. Almost every owner has minor problems every 1.5-2 months of intensive use, even if it is a new car from the passenger compartment. However, for some the machine has been working for several years without any significant breakdowns. It can be noted that spare parts for a car are cheaper than for foreign cars of the same price category.
There is another drawback to the car Lada Priora. Owner reviews indicate a low noise insulation of the cabin. In addition, the salon itself constantly creaks.
To date, Lada Priora is the most advanced car in the domestic automobile industry, in quality and configuration similar to European middle-class models.
