Could you steer it by yourself?

I had one when I was a student except things like the door handles came off, otherwise it was pretty reliable and was basic enough to fix myself. Best bit is they are built like a tank so when some bloke who'd nodded off ran into the back of me at 70mph (I was stopped in a queue) in his big Ford I hardly noticed the bump. It was a dead Lada after that (his car was a complete mess) but there was a nice little bonus (about £1000) in the insurance pay out because of the difference between the market and insurance values.

"Ladas haven't existed for almost 20 years?" Hmm funny thing, a friend bought one brand new at a dealership 8 years ago. Yes I could steer it, I could even fix it and I know NOTHING about cars. I love Ladas!

Yes I have driven a Lada and an old skoda. they were able to be steered by myself, but they were heavy old clunky tanks with underpowered engines.

Yes 25 years ago very heavy on the steering, helps if you put a bit more pressure in the tyres

Yes,I had one when I was living in Poland.They were made in Russia using tooling from the redundant Fiat 124 and known throughout this region as 'Zigoli'.I had to wait 3 years before receiving my new Zigoli and it became completely rusty within 1 year.

Sorry no. I keep my food in mine. Didn't know you had to steer it. Thought the only steering involved was the trolley round the supermarket when purchasing the goodies to fill it up.

Yes about 25 years ago. It was a pretty crude version of a Fiat
