The Lada / VAZ-2105, 2104 and 2107, collectively marketed as Lada Riva for right-hand drive models , the Lada Nova in Germany, and by multiple other names and markets, are a series of compact sedans of the Zhiguli line-up , built by Russian car manufacturer AvtoVAZ.

2 Overview:
Lada 2107 (2). With 93 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~10 l/100km). Weighing only 1030 kg, it’s quite light. Rear‑wheel drive offers dynamic handling and sporty feedback. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 18 s). The top speed reaches 143 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Lada 2107 generation 2 was produced before Euro NCAP testing began and lacks modern safety features, reflecting the standards of its era. Expect minimal passive safety.
1.3 (64 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Delivers extremely modest performance, struggling with acceleration (18 sec 0-100 km/h) and a low top speed, making it suitable only for undemanding city or rural driving.
Fuel Economy
Despite its low power output, the carburettor-fed 1.3L engine exhibits poor fuel economy, especially in urban conditions (10 l/100 km), reflecting outdated technology.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Simple, robust mechanicals
- • Easy and inexpensive to repair
- • Low initial purchase cost (historically)
- • Good ground clearance for rough roads
Cons:
- • Very poor acceleration and top speed
- • High fuel consumption for its power
- • Outdated safety features (or lack thereof)
- • Basic interior comfort and features
- • Prone to rust
- • Carburettor issues
