Looks fun to drive. Probably no power steering, no power brakes. Probably leafs from and rear, bouncy as shit. Manual windows and locks. Could likely even do a decent bit of four wheelin. Since it’s a Soviet vehicle it’s either dependable as fuck or it breaks down if you look at it wrong, no in between.
The reputation for soviet tech is it will run fine for 100 years as long as you meticulously maintain it
I mean I was mostly making a joke but that’s not really true. Bearings still get spun, lifters still stick, electric motors still burn windings, regardless of where they’re made. A Lada burns oil just like an Opal will.
i mean, without modern planned obsolescence plastic wifi bullshit i can see things lasting much longer
