They were always regarded as being very capable in the mud. Obviously they're dog shit on road. I'd have one still but not at that money, rock some offset rims and muds and go upset the landy boys.

I used to clean cars at a Lada and Proton garage when i was at school. They had a 2nd hand samara in 2 tone sat there for years, i washed it every week and nobody ever looked at it, i helped in the workshops in the bad weather and sitting in Early 90's Ladas was like sitting in a 50/60's Ford/Vauxhall etc... I always felt sorry for the salesman, how shit must you be to end up out of 3 dealerships in a group to end up selling Protons and Ladas.
