VAZ "nine" - car for an amateur

There are things in Russia that the mind can not understand. One of them is the non-decreasing popularity of domestic cars. Despite their low level of safety and poor-quality assembly, Russian motorists continue to buy "Volga" and "VAZ". This also applies to the legendary "nine" - VAZ 2109. Despite the fact that the domestic "nine" appeared even in the times of the Soviet Union, it still has a great demand.

Big family

"Nine" has several varieties - it'smodels 21093 and 21099 (the so-called "ninety-nine"). The 93rd model replaced the old predecessor and was manufactured since 1991. It was a five-door front-wheel drive hatchback. The novelty has undergone several changes. The main difference is the exterior and body structure - now the long wings and bonnet have been replaced by longer structures. The interior design has changed a little - now there is a so-called "europanel" in it.

About changes in technical characteristics

Instead of the old gasoline engine with a workingvolume of 1.3 liters began to install a 1.5-liter engine. Its power was 70 horsepower (6 horses more than the old engine). Thanks to the increased working volume and power, he easily accelerated the car to 100 kilometers per hour in 13.5 seconds (the predecessor had this indicator at the level of 16 seconds). In addition, the maximum speed of the novelty was increased to 156 kilometers per hour. The torque was 106 Nm.

New Updates

Three years later, at the Volzhskyan injection version of VAZ 21093 "nine" is produced. The machine had 2 modifications: 21093-02, and also 21093-03. They differ from each other in their wheelbase and gear ratio. For the first time on this machine, an onboard control system, a trip computer, and a microprocessor ignition system were used.

VAZ "ninety-nine"

The car VAZ 21099 was serially produced since 1990of the year. Unlike the 93rd model, it had a four-door body type "sedan" and had a new radiator grille. Technical specifications and design were the same as the "nine".

Completion of production

In Russia, the serial release of the "nine" was terminatedstill in the 2004th year. To replace it came a new Lada Samara 2 (in fact, the second generation of the car). The second series of Samara is produced at AvtoVAZ and to this day. It has several modifications of the bodywork - a four-door sedan, as well as three-door and five-door hatchbacks. But the completion of production in Russia does not mean that the legendary "nine" - the car of the 90s, is not produced anywhere else. It is produced by the Ukrainian ZAZ (Zaporozhye Automobile Plant). Surprisingly, a 20-year-old model is still actively bought in Ukraine. Cars VAZ new can be found in every Ukrainian town.

About the cost

At the moment, the initial cost of UkrainianLada is about 230 thousand rubles. But thus cars VAZ 2109 have awful quality of assemblage (the body decays through 3 years). And all happens because of the absence of any anti-corrosion treatment. VAZ "nine" - a car for an amateur.
