Lada Granta is an excellent budget sedan option. The car is front-wheel drive, it has an attractive appearance and a pretty decent package. The cost of the vehicle is not high, so it is in demand in the market. Despite the modern technical characteristics, the new engine, increased safety system and rich equipment, the car has disadvantages. You need to know about them and take into account when purchasing a Lada Grant model.

As practice shows, any car has its weak points. Lada Granta was no exception. This car brand is not ideal, and after a series of studies, its sores were identified, which ultimately spoil the whole picture and cause frequent breakdowns. Therefore, they require special attention from the vehicle owner.

Weaknesses of Lada Grant:

• Salon;
• Headlights;
• Electronics;
• Thermostat;
• Body;
• Chassis;
• Transmission;
• Brake pads.

Now in more detail ...

The salon is clearly the weak side of the car. From the very first minutes of car operation, you can notice a number of its disadvantages. The first is connected to the handle that is responsible for adjusting the seat. It is quite fragile and breaks down quickly. In addition, the gear lever boot also leaves a lot to be desired. The material is of poor quality and cracks quickly. During operation, it constantly crawls out from under the knob.

Almost immediately, the light starts flashing, which controls the operation of the airbags. She indicates their malfunction. Power windows failing soon. They begin to seize and make an unpleasant sound when lowering the glass.

The car is equipped with an air conditioner, but the quality of its work is rather low. He does not do the job well. During the day, in the heat, his work is almost invisible. Especially if the car is standing still.

Lights, electronics, thermostat

The rear lights are a weak spot. They sweat quickly and are poorly attached. There are large gaps on the side of the lamps, in which dust and dirt quickly accumulate. You will need to carry out measures to remove it.

As for the electronics, it became a disadvantage on the first cars of this model. Quite often, the ECU is flooded along the wiring harness. In addition, generator malfunctions occur. The problem lies in its bearings and belt.

In principle, the cooling system has no complaints. Problems appear only with the thermostat, and even then not for all models. This sore is mainly typical for cars released before 2012.

The above disadvantages are minor and relatively harmless. If we talk about the body, then this is a serious minus of the vehicle. The paint on it wipes off quickly. As a result, the body is left without a protective layer and begins to rust. This indicates that the installation of the car was not carried out correctly. At the same time, the plastic bumpers are not painted at all, which is not very pleasant for many buyers.

Chassis, gearbox, brake pads

The undercarriage of the car has become its major drawback. A-pillars over time begin to emit an unpleasant sound. It manifests itself in the form of a knock after 6 thousand kilometers. Over time, the tie rod brackets on the front suspension may burst.

The appearance of a howling in the checkpoint indicates a failure in the transmission. This problem often worries car owners. In addition, this part has a tight run when it is cold. She does not tolerate low temperatures. In winter, the handle is likely to freeze. This problem can be solved, it is enough to change the oil in the gearbox to synthetics.

The brake pads with which the Lada Granta is equipped are of low quality. Over time, they make an unpleasant creak and squeal. In addition, brake discs wear out quickly.

The parking brake cable is not very well fixed in the car. Experts advise to start operating the vehicle with extreme caution. It will take time to get used to this feature.

The main disadvantages of LADA Granta

Lada Grant's car has pros and cons. The latter are quite important, as they often cause vehicle failure. The main disadvantages of Lada Grant are presented in the form:

1. Rear drum brake;
2. Weak motor;
3. Lack of rear armrests and overhead handles;
4. One airbag installed for the driver;
5. The minimum set of options;
6. Lack of engine temperature sensor;
7. Creaking body;
8. Incorrect operation of the climate system.

Conclusion.

The list of Lada Granta's shortcomings is quite large, but many of them can be avoided. To do this, it is necessary to take good care of the vehicle and carry out maintenance in a timely manner. Replacing a part that has come out of standing with an analog one will improve the quality of the car and reduce the likelihood of its repeated breakdown.

P.S .: Dear Granta owners, if you have noticed systematic breakdowns of any units, assemblies or parts of Lada Granta, then let us know in the comments below. Together we will keep statistics on the weaknesses and shortcomings of cars of this model.

Based on the information provided by living users with a long service life, it will already be much easier to make a choice based on a compressed array of information related to the most important components of car operation, ensuring maximum user comfort.

Lada car interior

“Regarding the interior, there are two conflicting opinions: for the first year and a half of driving on trips further than 50 km, my back ached in the driver's seat. But my wife in the back seat was extremely comfortable. "

Alexander, Lada Granta Liftbek. 6 (106 HP) with the AMT robot 2015, owner review.
“The salon offers a lot of tuning possibilities thanks to the large amount of free space! It is only important not to overdo it, otherwise it will look unaesthetic. You can put a stereo system, new rugs, comfortable armrests and more. I plan to do all this in the near future. And I also want to install a spoiler "

Reviews about Lada from the owner of a liftback 1.6 (106 hp) with a robot in 2015
“The salon is quite spacious, as in the Lada Kalina, but due to changes in the arrangement of the front panel, as well as the change in the shape of the glove compartment, there is less space for comfortable leg placement for the front passenger. The impact resistance of the plastic is at a lower level than that of the first generation Lada Kalina model range. In contrast to the shock resistance, the rigidity of the plastic panels is about the same. As for the seats, they hold their shape much better than in previous models. The material used for the upholstery of the floor and seats does not cause any complaints, however, due to the black color, all the adhering debris is visible "

Liftback 2018 owner review with mechanics 2017 release.
“The salon is quite tidy and pleases with a high-quality assembly, but I would like to note that the screen often reflects sun glare. The sound insulation in the factory configuration is rather weak, but in the near future I want to fix it myself "

Pavel, liftback machine reviews.
“The salon does not dispose to talk about it for a long time - the assembly looks quite simple and cheap. But the stove in the cabin is just excellent, it fries well enough. The acoustics are also good, for me personally, provided that I don't bother with the purity of the music, everything suits me. "

Chassis Lada Grants Liftback

Vladimir, liftback, owner reviews.
“The car is still happy, there is absolutely nothing to complain about. I checked the chassis on the eve of winter and everything is in perfect order, nothing is broken and does not fail. It is also easy to start up, not capricious "

Nikita, Granta liftback 2018 reviews
“The undercarriage is definitely the part we tried to achieve. All the unevenness of the terrain and numerous bumps on the road pass perfectly, I remember the classic Renault Logan, whose suspension was also often praised. When driving a Grant, I immediately remembered Logan's suspension, but in a liftback it is much more stable. A similar effect is achieved by castoran on the front wheels, a stabilizer in the front, which was later removed from the Logan, and springs on the rear wheels. It is a pity that such a high-quality suspension is simply not provided in the standard configuration "

Maxim, reviews on Lada Granta liftback 2017
“The defects of this model are leveled out due to the low price of the car. The main components, including the engine, fail quite rarely, and there is nothing to find fault with the chassis in terms of reliability when moving. "

Pavel, nova lada granta liftback reviews
“Lada Granta is equipped with a reliable 1.6-liter petrol unit, the manual transmission works well and does not break down. The chassis and front-wheel drive also rarely fail "

Alfaman, liftback 2017, reviews
“Back in 2013, I bought a Lada Granta in an average configuration. As for the power and reliability of the engine, the stability of the gearbox and front-wheel drive, as well as the characteristics of the chassis and indicators of user comfort, everything is at a fairly high level for its price. "
Petr Efremov, liftback standard, review

Engine Lada Grants

“When choosing a car for me, the fundamental question was that the manufacturer was necessarily VAZ. After reading many articles on this topic, it was decided to opt for Grant. Compared to the 99k, which at one time traveled almost half the country, Grant is definitely admirable. Based on all the technical characteristics, the car is definitely worthwhile. The 1.6-liter petrol engine performs its functions for 5 plus, does not break "

Leonid mavzelei, lada liftback automatic machine reviews.
“My car definitely suits me. Of course, at first, the gearbox and engine behaved a little unnaturally, but all faults were eliminated under warranty. Most likely, this is an isolated case, and similar problems with the engine manifest themselves immediately, so this will not happen on the car. In general, the car is reliable, apart from those cases with the gearbox and the engine, there were no more problems "

Georgy Svetlov, lada granta liftback reviews
“In one of the official Lada car dealerships, I was told that the engine resource would be about 300 thousand kilometers. In fact, the engine will not have to be repaired until this figure is known. In any case, the safety of the engine depends largely on operation, oil use and other factors. "

Ayrat Kadyrmayev, Lada Granta, Liftback 2018 in a new review
"Engine. The sixteen-valve motor is much quieter than the eight-valve that I installed on my old Kalina. It works smoothly, but does not make noise at the same time as an aircraft carrier. Since I am still rolling, I do not sink the pedal into the floor, however, during acceleration, it is felt that it is capable of more. In my opinion, this is exactly the engine that should be on the car. I do not regret the purchase at all "

Granta Liftback, reviews 106
“The interior is made at a high level, it can be seen that we tried hard on the design. The engine starts well even in frosty conditions, and in a few seconds. The luggage compartment is very roomy, moreover, the seats can be reclined. The acoustics also keep the level "
Denis Davydenko, liftback grant, 87 hp, reviews.
Suspension Lada Grants Liftback: reviews
“I moved to Liftback from Kalina and did not notice any special changes in the suspension. The only thing that pleased me was the rigid stabilizers, so that Granta does not shake to the sides at speed as it was with Kalina. In any case, I will still run it in to feel the difference "

Andrew
“On the suspension. I do not know how it is in other trim levels, but on my Lux the difference is noticeable, especially when driving off-road. It swallows all the potholes and holes while driving, while the car hardly shakes, as it was with the previous versions. I also want to note how the car behaves when cornering. Before, especially if the track is icy, you almost fly out of the car, this has never happened to Liftback. The rear shocks are working great. "

Carexpert
“I expected that the basic“ Kalinovskaya ”suspension would somehow be modified on Grant, but the changes are absolutely insignificant. The stabilizers have become better, but on Kalina, if you do not rush along the entire road, everything is fine with the position of the car. I wish the modifications were a little more noticeable. "

Evgeny Pavlov
“I moved from the old 99 to Grant, and if you compare it with the suspension, it's just heaven and earth. I do not know how this detail will change during operation, but now, even on the fierce road, the potholes are simply not felt, they are absorbed only in this way. I am very pleased with this reliability! "

Freeman
“Perhaps this is a factory defect, but my suspension fell off in the first week after purchase. It would be a minus if they hadn't put it back on me and has been driving normally for several months. The suspension was not cracked, everything was fine with it, probably, the assembly was just a curve "Alexander Panchenko

Pros and cons of liftback grants

According to reviews, the most often mentioned disadvantages of Lada Grant liftback look like this:

• Salon The design of the salon looks poor and unassuming.
• Gears Lack of fixation of the gear lever in one position under the condition of intensive use
• Noisy gearbox The gearbox starts to make noise during operation
• Poor stability on the course At high acceleration, the car starts to stagger from side to side
• Corrosion of the body part This deficiency is being corrected, but on many older models there is wear on the body part.

In turn, the pluses of liftback grants look like this:

The car, known in our country under the name Lada Granta, became a successful continuation of the Lada Kalina model. And, for several years of its release, motorists managed to form their opinion about it, which, in many ways, has positive features. We are talking about a more powerful engine, as well as a roomy interior, which is especially important for our area.

But, naturally, there cannot be an engine that does not require starting running-in, both after its manufacture and after its overhaul. Today we will give you some tips that relate to the features of running in the Lada Granta power unit.

General information

As soon as the car leaves the assembly line, it needs to be run in.

It is impossible to do this within the framework of the manufacturer's enterprise, so this task falls on the shoulders of the buyer.

The need for running-in arises for the simple reason that the engine parts have not yet got used to each other, so that working at higher speeds can be difficult. Running-in, as a rule, includes idling, and power, not more than the basic operating parameter.

If you have purchased an 8-valve engine, then you will have your first MOT for 2000 km. After it, it is considered that the engine has already been run-in. But most owners of Lada Granta do not give an increased load for at least 5,000 km.

Running in the Lada Granta engine

Speed \u200b\u200bmodes during engine break-in (excerpt from the operation manual)

In principle, running-in should be carried out for almost all parts, but for the motor it will be the most demanded.

After buying a new Grants, you will need to fully charge the battery, because it could be discharged while the car was at the dealer. Next, you need to check,. And, of course, it is necessary to conduct a complete visual and functional inspection of the car, which would help to establish the presence of certain faults. In most cases, this is enough to detect serious flaws. Small problems will manifest themselves in the first few hundred kilometers.

Absolutely no problems were found during the operation of the internal combustion engine, which indicates the good quality of the car.

What not to do when running in a Lada Granta motor

If you do not want to send your car immediately for repair, then you should heed the advice of experts who will tell you what not to do during the break-in period. These recommendations will help to avoid overloading parts that are not yet lapped together, which can result in damage to the vehicle.

In general, there will be five points.

1. The first recommendation is that the revolutions should not reach the two thousand revolutions mark. This is especially true for a sharp increase in revs when you are actively working with the gas pedal.
2. The second tip says that the car should not be overloaded, either with luggage or people. Riding with two passengers and very few things will be optimal. This will help to further reduce the load.
3. Point number three suggests that hard braking is best avoided. Pay attention to "engine braking", which will be even more detrimental to a non-rolling car.
4. The fourth tip suggests that you should not drive in critical gears. Most often, we are talking about the maximum (fifth) gear. But before this indicator, it will be enough to adhere only to advice on the number of revolutions.
5. And, of course, it is worth highlighting that driving on motorways will be undesirable. The reason for this is that the average speed on such roads will reach one hundred kilometers per hour, which is an excessive figure for the new Lada Granta.

Try to always listen carefully to the extraneous noise that your car gives out. This is especially important during the running-in and, moreover, the first start of the engine. If you hear anything suspicious, you need to turn off the engine immediately. This will help avoid costly repairs. It's one thing when the sensor of one of the engine control systems is faulty, and a completely different situation will arise if.

It is believed that the Grant model does not need to be run-in after purchase at all. This statement is based on the fact that the manufacturer carries out the tests at the factory. But, of course, you should not listen to such advice, as your car and financial condition will suffer from them.

As mechanics with sufficient experience assure, running in a car significantly extends the period of time when the car does not require special maintenance from its owner or complete replacement of damaged parts. The main rule will be that it is impossible, under any circumstances, to reach extreme operating modes, both in terms of speed and in the number of revolutions.

Running-in will help the motor develop its own dynamics, along which it will work further. If this is not done, then the positive specifications will be reduced, and the quality of the parts will suffer significantly.

If there is no need for additional power, then the tachometer needle should be at around two thousand revolutions. Exceptions are possible during overtaking or other maneuvers, when you can briefly accelerate the engine to three thousand revolutions.

General recommendations for bodies (sedan, liftback, sport) and trim levels (standard, norm, luxury)

Three bodies of Lada Grants

Try to maintain the most soft performance indicators up to three thousand kilometers. The speeds, if possible, need to be alternated, not allowing the car to move long and monotonously.

Sharp accelerations and jerks, of course, should be avoided. And the maximum speed should be in the range from eighty to one hundred and ten kilometers per hour. And even then, it is worth accelerating to such figures only if necessary.

However, idling for a long time is also not worth it.

Among other things, there is a ban on the use of trailers and other types of additional loads.

The bestseller of the Russian market and the cheapest Lada (at a price of 420 thousand rubles), the first generation Grant model has been produced since 2011 without significant changes (in sedan and liftback bodies) and, of course, it is long overdue to update the car. AvtoVAZ understands this, and in this, 2018 year the car passed a small restyling, but completely new generation will appear in 2021-2023 year... It will be based on the B0 platform developed by the Renault-Nissan alliance, which subsequently underwent a major modernization. By the way, it will be used in the design and Logan in a new body.

New Lada Granta 2018 - restyling

In 2018, the update only affected the exterior of the model and the interior, the technical part will remain completely the same. Thanks to this, it is not worth waiting for a significant increase in the price of the new Lada Grant. The main changes are a new one in front of Vesta.

New body options

It is noteworthy that the new Granta after the update completely replaced the Kalina family, which was discontinued. In the future, AvtoVAZ will have only one model of budget cars. In addition to the traditional sedan and liftback, a hatchback with a station wagon and a cross station wagon has now appeared in the lineup. Hard to guess, these will be almost copies of Kalina but with the Granta badge. As a result, the line of modifications will look like this:

• liftback
• hatchback
• station wagon
• cross wagon

Technical characteristics will remain practically unchanged: only the acceleration time will slightly change due to the reconfigured manual transmission and AMT transmissions. Plus, the "robot" will have a crawling mode like on Vesta.

Replenished family, though without a cross station wagon

Prices

The sedan and liftback have risen in price, but the versions that have passed from Kalina, on the contrary, have become cheaper due to simpler configurations.

• sedan: from 420 thousand rubles (+10 thousand)
• liftback: from 437 thousand rubles (+2 thousand)
• hatchback: from 437 thousand rubles (-23.7 thousand)
• station wagon: from 447 thousand rubles (-28.3 thousand)
• cross wagon: price has not yet been announced

Appearance

The first images of the updated sedan, which will receive the FL (Facelifting) prefix, appeared on social networks in early 2018. It was reported that the photo showing the prototype with the camouflage film applied to it was taken in Togliatti on the territory of the "VAZ" technical and scientific center. At the end of July, AvtoVAZ completely declassified the updated family.

Analyzing the available pictures, it is noticeable that the shape of the trunk of the new sedan has been slightly changed, and the front part of the body has become somewhat narrowed, in the style of Vesta. After the update, all Granta will get a front panel from Kalina with minor changes.

Was-now

The salon of the new Grants is Kalinovsky with minor changes in the type of the new instrument panel. It is of course oak, but everything is better than it was

Release date and prices

The restyled Lada Granta 2018 should be presented during Moscow Motor Show already at the end of this summer, however, production has already begun on 14 August.

Prices for the new 2018 Lada Granta sedan and liftback will remain the same, the only question is how much the hatchback and cross station wagon will cost, because the Kalina, from which the models will come, was positioned a little more expensive.

All photos

New generation

The "second" Grant will use the modernized Globak Access platform ( B0) developed by Renault. The same platform is planned to be used in the next generations of Logan.

Interestingly, the Renault platform being prepared for the new Grants is quite universal - it will also be used in the next generation of the off-road Lada 4x4. This solution is not new and has already been used in the Duster and Logan models.

All cars using one platform will roll off the Togliatti conveyor. By 2021, Renault, which owns the domestic AvtoVAZ, plans to increase the production of cars, in numerical terms, bringing them to a million copies per year. All manufactured models will receive a unified platform.

Nobody knows what the new generation will look like, these are just the fantasies of designers

New body and prices

It's too early to talk about the appearance and prices of the new Grants: the design is still in the development process, and the cost of course will grow predictably: gradually AvtoVAZ is moving away from the image of a manufacturer of budget cars (you just have to look at the prices of Vesta and X Ray), how far it will go - time will tell ...

release date

According to some reports, the next Granta will appear before 2023 year, however, there is information that this may happen earlier - by 2021 year... It is already known who will lead this project. Vasily Batishchev, who was still working on the creation of the "first" generation, was appointed chief engineer, and Olga Bazhanova, who was previously responsible for Prioru, will become the project manager.

Before presenting to Grant in a new body, the existing model will receive a slight facelift in 2018 (see above). At the same time, the Kalina lineup may cease to exist, and its modifications will be included in the Granta family.

History

Grant has been produced since 2011 and is presented with modifications with a liftback body, as well as a sedan. The model is equipped with 106-, 98- or 87-horsepower engines with a working volume of 1.6 liters. There is also a sports modification Grants, where the same power unit is boosted to 114 "horses". The transmission is represented by "automatic" for 4 ranges or "mechanics" with 5 steps.

Lada Granta is currently available at a price of 399 thousand rubles.

Hello. I thought maybe someone would be interested and decided to write a small review. On January 31, I sold my 124 MB and on the same day I decided to take another, without a car in any way. I thought between Prior and Grant in the middle configuration with Conder and manual transmission sedan. I chose the second option, because it is about 40 thousand cheaper, one more pillow (passenger), otherwise everything is the same engine of 106 hp, the box is slightly modified, the gears are switched on more clearly, but howls, as before, no less (it was 21099 2003 release). I was surprised that I had to buy plastic thresholds 4pcs-1000r, I gave 700r for the polic.

The car copes with its task, carries from one place to another, does not break down. I did a toe, pulled to the right from the first kilometers - 500r. I was alerted by the noise in the steering, when turning the steering wheel to the right or left, an unpleasant sound, I thought it was a marriage, as it turned out, the natural noise of the steering or the electric amplifier, I don't know for sure. There was no such thing on the 124th, so I tensed. I don't like the fact that the car does not keep a straight line well on the track, it is especially annoying when overtaking, road irregularities make themselves felt.

I bought it with 13 km mileage, the seller said that the first oil change is 15000 km, the plant is improving it, etc. Now it is 5300, I changed the oil for 4800 (Castrol 10 to 40 3L - 1250r and filter 150r). After the replacement, the motor began to work a little softer and it seemed like it began to accelerate a little better, not much, but it felt so. Gasoline consumption is a highway, if you drive sparingly 5.8 liters per hundred, if normally 6.2-6.4 liters. City 11-12 liters, average 7.7 liters - AI95. The engine of 106 horses is enough for overtaking, recently three adults drove to another city and the air conditioner was turned on, it was interesting myself, the flight is a normal engine. The city also liked how it pulls on the bottoms with the included Conder. The headlights shine well at night, I'm a little used to the seats, the seat is certainly too small and lacks length (height 174cm). I can't remember anything else, if you have any questions please write.

Strengths:

High-torque engine,

large trunk,

2 pillows.

Weak sides:

Poor road holding

poor noise insulation or its absence as anyone,

indistinct steering wheel at speed.

Strengths:

• Good
  energy-intensive suspension, high ground clearance
• Spacious salon,
  good visibility

Review of VAZ Granta 1.6 2012

Working machine. Operated in the tail and mane. A new one was bought from the guarantee immediately refused, as to drive the Russian car to the dealer for MOT rip off. That we have a 1.6 87 hp engine. equipment norm without a conductor, front lifts, EUR, short rail from viburnum sport seems to be one driver's pillow, central locking system, everything. There were no other complete sets at that time. The car was purchased from the first ones that appeared in Rostov.

Engine

The strong side of the car. Frisky, was Prior 1.6 81hp. and then 87 hp you can't say that the difference is six horses, I want to add that the Prior was dead even after the firmware was flashed and the catalyst was removed. It is more pleasant to drive around the city on a grant than on the highway, since after 3.5 thousand there is no particular dynamics. The oil changes every 15-20 thousand ., semi-synthetics shell (180 rubles per liter) or lukoil (100 rubles per liter) 10 W 40. Oil does not go away from replacement to replacement. The candles were changed two or three times .. the engine is simple and reliable gasoline only 92 is not the best. Average consumption 6.4 per bk I always go with a roof rack. 70% mileage. When the belt breaks, the valves become bent, the belt for 160,000 thousand mileage for the first time changed to 90 thousand and it would not change, but the roller made a noise. Once there was some kind of breakdown of the generator, the charging went to the electrician and it stalled under the gate. It always starts up on a cold one the second time, it starts working for two seconds, stalls, the second time is already normal. And three more times the nozzles (2500r) were washed in the injector twice (300r). Once I did not notice the curb in the grass, as a result, it bent the sump, the blow was so strong that I thought I would not go anywhere, thank God the crankcase withstood the ride to this day.

Strengths:

• Frisky low-end engine
• economical
• large trunk
• spacious interior (in comparison with Prior)
• RELIABILITY
• inexpensive parts and service
• cleriens
• good view in the mirrors
• forgives a lot (see review)
• short rail 3.1 (unlike priors)

Weak sides:

• noisy
• vibration at idle from the engine
• disgusting manual transmission (old model)
• steering wheel not adjustable
• disgusting standard rubber Kama
• price for new
• assembly jambs
• dirt collects under the front fenders and grass grows (visible if you open the front doors)
• for comfort, priors are better but not a foreign car
• too light steering wheel
• sailing on the track
• tail design

Review of VAZ Granta 1.6 2013

In December 2013, I purchased a VAZ 21190 car or justGranta ... The agony of choosing the next car did not torment me, the choice was made quickly enough. Why the grant… I honestly wanted a largus in a complete set, but for me it turned out to be expensive, I decided to take a grant, the opinion of my friends who own a grant with an automatic transmission and good equipment at a relatively "low" cost played out.

Cars before grants:

VAZ 21053 2006 onwards, Mazda bongo Friendee 1997 onwards, Matz 2011. Based on these machines, I can compare the grant. Mazda had an automatic transmission, because I know this automatic transmission.

Strengths:

• Engine
• Automatic transmission
• Trunk
• Salon

Weak sides:

• Squeaky brakes
• Noise isolation

Recall of VAZ Granta 1.6 2012 Part 3

Good day.

I decided to mark 10 thousand km on Grant with a small tip. The mileage is not great, but conclusions can be drawn. The opinion about the car has not changed. Good workhorse. There were no problems in the last 8000 km. On the second thousand km. due to a factory defect, the starter was changed under warranty — I twisted it every other time. No more complaints. Starts at -24 normally. There was simply no temperature lower this winter. The stove heats up, ancient as a mammoth, automatic transmission switches without jerking. Even when cold .. The amplifier amplifies. The bulbs are also all native for now. The salon is warm. Automatic transmission in frost warms up for 2-3 km of distance. Warming up means that it starts to shift to 4th gear. Until the electronics warms up, it does not allow to do this. Warming up the interior (not the glasses, they thaw much earlier) to a comfortable temperature of -20 degrees (today) in 10 minutes-15 minutes.

Consumption: in the city fell slightly and now averages 11 liters per 100 km 92 of gasoline. Outside the city on the highway at a speed of 120-130 km / h about 7 liters. By the way, I moved to 9000 km on the 92nd. Before that poured 95th. I did not notice the difference, except for the price.

Strengths:

• Practical car

Weak sides:

• The price is not lifted up like a god

Review of VAZ Granta 1.6 2012

Review of VAZ Granta 1.6 2013

When choosing a car, I really liked this site: the reviews are detailed and the interface is clear, so I decided to write a review here too.

The car is the first in the family, so the choice was very scrupulous.

First: a new car - as a used one usually requires repair, if not taken from a friend. They stand in the yards and are serviced only when they are finally attached (no longer driving).

Strengths:

• Spacious salon
• The folding rear back is like a station wagon, the floor is even (drove the bed in a disassembled state)
• Large trunk with wide opening between the rear wheel arches
• Sedan - it also turned out to have its advantages - it is warmer in winter, oils located in the trunk, non-freezing and the like (carried cement) do not smell in the cabin
• Not a big and not a small car: less, I think, it makes no sense to take - there is nothing to take away, and it is dangerous outside the city - and not a big one - you can drive and unfold easy to park in yards, shops
• There is an electric power steering, airbags and even air conditioning (at first I thought it was pampering, but I quickly got used to it, especially in the spring it's already hot, and you can't open the window - puddles and mud)
• Consumables are cheap - when pulling to the side of the road, he broke the rear left wheel (side cut). After replacing, I drove into the store and bought a new tire for 1650 rubles. At work, colleagues said that it could be glued for 1200 rubles. The choice is obvious.It's a pity, of course, 1650, but what to do
• TO 1 - 3300 rubles
• CASCO AND OSAGO are also inexpensive

Weak sides:

• I bought a new one, but no one was jealous. Some even twisted at their temples and offered second-hand for this price.
• During the operation, small problems arose: the door creaked - they greased it for maintenance and one loop of heating the rear window does not work, unfortunately, just in the middle - it has not yet traveled

Review of VAZ Granta 1.6 2013

Good evening, dear motorists!

On the way home, the check caught fire. The next day I went to the service, they fixed the malfunction under warranty on the same day. The attitude of the service workers is normal, they didn't kick it. The malfunction is minor.

Strengths:

• Spacious salon
• Box

Weak sides:

• E-gas, EUR

Review of VAZ Granta 1.6 2013

I sat at work last Friday and thought: shouldn't I buy Grant now, and not in December, as I planned earlier? Moreover, since November, the price for the norm with a machine gun will again become 385 against the current 365. The decision was made, I called my father - I borrowed 150 pieces until December. I contacted a car dealership, an auto transporter had just arrived, among the fresh cars there was no color of interest to me in the required configuration: the machine only had silver, black and blue. Black, of course - I said, and on Saturday I won the Milky Way Grants. Well, not that I became straight, my wife became - I took for her. But I did it for myself in order to save her from the quest "registration", etc.

The purchase process went quite quickly - they killed only 1.5 hours in the salon. My wife was given tea and cake, I refused libations. I tried to knock myself out a gift in the form of rugs or a radio tape recorder or signaling, at least something. Knocked out - a stink for 150 rubles! Grants are sold without any marketing gimmicks, therefore the dealer does not spoil customers with gifts (they no longer buy Priora). In the salon I bought a set of rugs, including in the trunk. In the amount of 1600 rubles. As always, there are 1-2 liters of fuel in the tank, on the odometer it is 16 km. Granta went to conquer the big world. The conquest began with a gas station, which we drove to, so as not to dry out. Then the first surprise awaited me: the gas cap. At first, it spins, then generally how it stops. Fearing something to break the thread in the new car, I thought to call the salon (ask if I'm doing something wrong), then changed my mind and decided to use force. You need to press on the cover, moreover with serious effort and rotate with effort. It's really hard, I showed my wife — I couldn't unscrew it, even with both hands. I hope it works out. The filler neck with traces of rust - I've never seen anything like this. The manufacturer recommends pouring 95, so we will pour. On the first kilometers of the journey, the average consumption was 16.5 liters. Today (after 100 km of run) the average consumption is 13.3 - the vehicle is rolling in.

First impressions. Some kind of emptiness on the dashboard. I'm not used to buying cars that don't even have a radio. Renosheye deflectors are simple and convenient, the shelf above the glove compartment is very functional - it can easily accommodate a small MP3 player with built-in speakers, which still performs the function of a multimedia system. There are cup holders, it's cool. Nice, deep glove compartment, but there is no backlight in it, which makes it akin to my Toyota's glove compartment. It is convenient to read the readings of the devices: the font is pleasant, the backlighting in the dark is not annoying, the bortovik seems to show any information. It's bad that the temperature overboard and the temperature of the engine does not seem. Great stove, quiet and hot. The car heats up very quickly, I'm not comparing it with a diesel engine, but in general. The seats are normal, quite comfortable, the material is not easily soiled, it will be well cleaned, but for some reason the filler creaks in the front passenger seat, I think that over time it will come to its senses and will pass. I read that the cigarette lighter socket is very short, and it is - the recorder plug sits in it very unreliably, which threatens with a bad connection connection, I think everyone knows. When they will put the signalization, I will ask you to connect the recorder directly. An interesting point - power is supplied to the cigarette lighter constantly, even when the car is turned off and there is no key in the ignition lock. That is, it is impossible to use the registrar in the mode of hung up and forget - it threatens to discharge the battery. This is a pinch as not convenient. The people write that it is the same with the power supply of the radio. I don’t understand what caused such a wiring diagram. More about unprecedented solutions: the ignition lock does not have an ACC position. I don't even know what to write about it, quiet horror and stupidity. I almost forgot! The steering wheel is crooked! VAZ has a problem with the steering wheels, hike. On the Prior, it is displaced to the center by 7 cm, that is, its axis does not coincide with the axis of the driver's seat. Whoever says what is wrong with him is either an idiot or a liar or a scythe, on all priors so. My steering wheel is right, but when the steering wheel is set to zero, the wheels are turned slightly to the left. It's funny, it doesn't really interfere, at the first MOT they will eliminate it, while we train like this, it's not critical.

Strengths:

Recall of VAZ Granta 1.6 2012 Part 3

Good day.

I decided to mark 10 thousand km on Grant with a small tip. The mileage is not great, but conclusions can be drawn. The opinion about the car has not changed. Good workhorse. There were no problems in the last 8000 km. On the second thousand km. due to a factory defect, the starter was changed under warranty — I twisted it every other time. No more complaints. Starts at -24 normally. There was simply no temperature lower this winter. The stove heats up, ancient as a mammoth, automatic transmission switches without jerking. Even when cold .. The amplifier amplifies. The bulbs are also all native for now. The salon is warm. Automatic transmission in frost warms up for 2-3 km of distance. Warming up means that it starts to shift to 4th gear. Until the electronics warms up, it does not allow to do this. Warming up the interior (not the glasses, they thaw much earlier) to a comfortable temperature of -20 degrees (today) in 10 minutes-15 minutes.

Consumption: in the city fell slightly and now averages 11 liters per 100 km 92 of gasoline. Outside the city on the highway at a speed of 120-130 km / h about 7 liters. By the way, I moved to 9000 km on the 92nd. Before that poured 95th. I did not notice the difference, except for the price.

Strengths:

• Practical car

Weak sides:

• The price is not lifted up like a god

Revocation of VAZ Granta 1.6 2012 Part 2

The time has come for the first maintenance. Over the past reporting period))) the machine ran the above mileage. Both in the city and on the highway. Approximately 50 to 50. THAT could have occurred earlier, but this was prevented by one (from the date of purchase) breakdown. Starter burned out. The spare part under warranty came from the factory for a MONTH! However, there were no other problems. For such a period, the service explained that although the engine is Priorovsky, the starter is different, because These were thrown to the other side of the engine due to the presence of an automatic transmission with it. Supposedly the supplier is different, so there are problems with delivery. However, they assured me that my problem was the only one. We'll see. Nothing else interesting happened to the machine. Lying, it was ... One morning, when the sun began to bake and it became warm in the cabin, a strong unpleasant smell appeared. Thought air-conditioned something. Then he accidentally got into the trunk, and there the flask with the washer is leaking ...))) There are no other problems. Starts up, drives. Throughout the winter, I crawled beautifully in the deep snow in the yards. The clearance of 18 cm under protection clearly contributed to this.

Consumption: since the moment of purchase it has become less and continues to fall, however, it is still 7 liters (I have an automatic transmission) on the highway (speed 115, rpm 3000). The city is slightly worse - 13.5 liters in traffic jams. Alas. Half of the 13 km drive to work is traffic jams. Kick down has not been tried. I'm waiting for the end of the running. Rutting: The machine is sensitive, but not critical.

Steering: the hydraulic booster is clearly better, but comparing with Solaris and RIO - no worse.

Strengths:

• Value for money
• Suspension!!!

Weak sides:

• Steering
• Lack of climate control

Review of VAZ Granta 1.6 2012

It so happened that we needed a car with automatic transmission. After some thought and doubt, I decided to take a chance and take (early November 2012) in addition to Niva Grant. Luxury grade with automatic transmission, Riesling color (I like it very much), cost 385 thousand taking into account the Lada-finance program (the loan has already been repaid). Options - PTF, popogreyki, running lights (very convenient), music with a 7-inch touch screen, mesh in the trunk, all electric (package), eyeglass case)), silver edging for deflectors and torpedoes and other pleasant little things, such as parking sensors. And also casting. And winter tires as a gift, oddly enough, quite decent. He left his native summer Kama for casting, and put the winter one on silver stamping. The view is decent, so I don't plan to put on the caps.

There is such a handy thing, it seems that they did not put it before - you splash on the glass, and the wipers themselves then work. Liked.

The mileage is still penny, so only first impressions. The car is much larger inside than outside. Spacious front and back. Compare with Logan and Solaris. In my opinion, nothing is worse. He sat down comfortably (adjustment) rather quickly. The cabin is quiet. At 4 speeds (60 km / h), the rpm is 1500. While not driving - running. But the machine is nimble. I practically do not press on the pedal, but it keeps in the stream. The engine is Priorov's and in Africa it is Prior's. Nothing to write, pulls well.

Strengths:

• Price-to-package ratio

Weak sides:

• Again, the price is high
• No automatic transmission instructions and music

Review of VAZ Granta 1.6l / 98ls / 4АКПП 2012

There was a bummer with the construction of a bath - free funds remained. I wanted to buy a couple of Patriot (there are reviews here) something more economical and faster, as well as teach my wife to ride at least in the countryside.

Purchase: picked up cars in the region of 420,000: Priora station wagon, Largus 5 seats, Grant with automatic transmission. I wrote how I would choose, because I am very used to the universal body. In order not to bother myself, I put the choice on my wife. There was only one grant with automatic transmission in Moscow, and in the cabin far from home. But we were lucky - we went to the nearest salon and got under the import, five pieces came. It was Grant's wife who liked it, the 2-year-old daughter also pointed to this machine - 30 minutes of registration + 10 tyr of the deposit + 3 days for the arrival of the TCP to the dealer, and eventually bought it.

How it goes: to be honest, I didn't expect it. Once again, I didn’t care, as long as it was no worse than the VAZ 2111 (there were 3 pieces), but it turned out that this is so 2 steps forward in terms of controllability and silence in the cabin (in any case, nothing creaks or rattles yet). In splicing a box with a dvigun, VAZ can only be applauded, I think the two units are simply created for each other, the selected gear is determined only by the number on the scoreboard (cool thing, in drive mode it shows the selected gear), acceleration is smooth, without failures. Consumption: leaving the city with traffic jams + highway 300 km - no more than 7 liters. At a speed of 115 km / h, the engine speed is not more than 3000 rpm, so you can drive normally even during the break-in period. It accelerates, probably, like the same X-trail (2l 141 l / s automatic transmission), well, in principle, if kilograms are brought to horsepower, then these two cars will have the same figure, so this is not surprising.
