Which car is better VAZ-2110 or VAZ-2112: what to choose?

Which is better VAZ 2112 or Priora

As they say, “there are no comrades according to taste,” so you can judge which car is better and argue on this topic endlessly.
One way or another, car owners can stand up for their car, because for everyone, their brand is the best, convenient and comfortable. Let's try to figure out what is better than the VAZ 2112 or Priora. Initially, the Priora is a restyled model of the VAZ 2110. In principle, one can reason this way: due to the fact that the VAZ 2112 is no longer produced, it is better to take a new car, in this case it is the Priora, because Henry Ford also said: “The best car is new car". If we are talking about used cars, then this point is worth understanding in more detail:

1

When choosing between a VAZ 2112 or Priora, pay attention to common details: both models have hatchback, station wagon and sedan body styles. You can choose the desired body in both models. But the length of the body, for example, in a hatchback, will be different - the VAZ 2112 has 4170 mm, and the Priora has 4210 mm

About the height we can say the following - VAZ 2112 - 1420 mm, Priora - 1435 mm

But the length of the body, for example, in a hatchback, will be different - the VAZ 2112 has 4170 mm, and the Priora has 4210 mm. About the height we can say the following - VAZ 2112 - 1420 mm, Priora - 1435 mm.

These figures are observed with the same wheelbase of 2492 mm

The same can be seen in other body styles, in other words, if you need a car with larger dimensions than a VAZ, you should pay attention to the Priora

2. If we talk about performance indicators, then there is also a difference between Priora and VAZ 2112 cars. The maximum speed of the VAZ is 180 km/h, and the Priora’s is a little more – 183 km/h. They accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in different ways - VAZ in 12 seconds, Priora in 11.5 seconds. In principle, the difference is not so great, but the fuel consumption in the Priora will be slightly lower - 7.2 liters per 100 km on a combined cycle, while in the VAZ 2112 - 7.7 liters per 100 km.

3. As for the engines in these models, they have the same indicators according to the criteria - engine volume (1596 cc), fuel type (gasoline), in-line arrangement of cylinders and their number, as well as the number of valves. But there are differences in the power of the cars - Priora has 98 l/s, and VAZ only 89 l/s.

4. The transmission is the same in both car models, but the suspension is different, in the Priora it is more modern - spring, MacPherson type.

The cars have significant differences in equipment, because they were produced in different years. The VAZ is less equipped; it does not have many of the devices that the Priora has, for example: an outside temperature sensor, a display on the instrument panel and a trip computer, audio preparation, heated and adjustable rear-view mirrors, as well as an anti-lock braking system.

In principle, for owners of a VAZ 2112 car there are no barriers to tuning their “swallow”. Making this car more perfect is not difficult for them. For example, you can install a piston system from Priora on a VAZ 2112. Replacing such a system will be appropriate after the car has traveled more than 150 thousand kilometers, simply due to wear and tear of the parts.

In the same way, many install racks on the VAZ 2112 from Priora. This modification allows you to improve the driving performance of the car - all the bumps, holes and potholes will become almost imperceptible, and the car will be much more maneuverable when cornering.

In any case, the choice remains with the car enthusiast, because everyone chooses what to drive, and not only the brand of the car plays a role here, but also the size of the wallet.

Choosing a used "ten"

The “tenth” family from Tolyatti - the Lada 110 sedan, the Lada 111 station wagon and the Lada 112 hatchback, also known under the indices VAZ-2110, 2111 and 2112 - are no less significant in the history of AvtoVAZ, and indeed the entire domestic automobile industry, models than the classic " Zhiguli" and promising at the time of the appearance of "Samara".
The Ten, originally developed as a sedan based on the Eight, received many changes and improvements that made the car more expensive, and generally separated this project from the Samar. The Lada 110 was positioned as a higher-class model, modern and competitive, which, by the way, was more expensive than such foreign cars as, for example, the Skoda Felicia.

“Ten” attracted buyers, including an electronic engine control system, an on-board computer, body parts made of galvanized metal, the ability to install electric windows and power steering. The design and variety of tuning options for models with three- and five-door hatchback bodies attracted young people.

Families, and especially those with dachas, willingly chose Lada 111 station wagons for their decent-sized luggage compartment.

And, of course, like other Lada models, the “tenth” family was valued for its inexpensive, easily accessible spare parts, low maintenance costs, and also for its efficiency.

However, the “ten”, “eleventh” and “twelfth” can boast of these and many other qualities to this day. Therefore, the Internet is full of advertisements for the sale of such used cars in different versions and variants.

Having been conceived as a “eight” with a sedan body, but not becoming one, the VAZ-2110 model came out later than the “ninety-ninth”.

The first prototype of the “ten” appeared back in July 1985, and 5 years later the pre-production car was already tested at the Porsche test site in Germany. Due to the crisis in the country, the launch of the “ten” into production shifted from 1992 to 1995.

The first commercial vehicles were assembled on June 27, 1995 at the AvtoVAZ pilot production facility, and mass production on the car plant’s assembly line was launched in 1996.

A front-wheel drive station wagon based on the "Ten" under the designation VAZ-2111/Lada 111, produced since 1998. And the 5-door hatchback VAZ-2112/Lada 112 was released in 1999.

The latter had a shorter body compared to the sedan (up to 4170 mm) and therefore better handling.

And the rear seat from the station wagon, folded in parts, increased the volume of the 350-liter trunk at the expense of space in the cabin to 720 liters.

In 2002, the subsidiaries began producing the three-door Lada 112 Coupe based on the hatchback. Since 2006, it has already been assembled in the pilot industrial production of the Tolyatti auto giant.

After the launch of the new Lada Priora into production in March 2007, which was the result of a deep restyling of the “ten”, the latter lost popularity and was removed from the AvtoVAZ assembly line on October 15 of the same year.

The five-door car was discontinued in Tolyatti in 2008, and in 2009 the Lada 111 station wagon and three-door hatchback became history. But the production of the sedan and station wagon did not stop completely.

Until 2014, these two models were assembled from AvtoVAZ vehicle kits under license under the Bogdan brand at the automobile plant of the corporation of the same name in the Ukrainian city of Cherkassy.

Having analyzed most of the advertisements for the sale of used models of the “tenth” Lada family published on the Internet, we found out which of them are best represented on the second-hand market and with which engines. As expected, the most popular of the trio was and remains to this day the Lada 110 sedan.

It accounts for 51% of offers for sale. The second is the five-door Lada 112 – 35% . There are almost three times fewer summer residents and family drivers who wanted to part with their Lada 111 station wagon – 12% .

Three-door hatchbacks accounted for only about 2% of ads.

There is no need to talk about various versions and modifications with stretched bodies such as the Lada Premier, the Consul limousine, the all-wheel drive Tarzan or the two-door Lada 1106 Coupe. They were produced in small quantities and are extremely rarely found on sale.

As for the engines, of which the “tenth” family had plenty in various versions and modifications with different power, the ones most often found in offers on the secondary market are in-line atmospheric 8- and 16-valve gasoline 1.5 and 1.6, developing from 78 to 93 “horses”.

Cars with the former are represented in the majority - 56% , but there are not much fewer options with the latter - 43% . For all others, including the 105-horsepower 1.8 version on hatchbacks and the 150-horsepower Opel 2.

0 on sedans and station wagons, accounting for about 1% of ads.

Unfortunately, the manufacture of a number of body parts from steel sheets with zinc-metal coating (front mudguards, front fenders, hood, outer door panels, trunk lid panel, floor cross members and outer rear wheel arches) did not save the cars of the “tenth” family from corrosion. Chips of paint that are not of the best quality, if they are not immediately painted over after they appear, will eventually turn into pockets of the “red plague.” Typically, rust on a 10's body can be found on the leading edge of the roof along the windshield seal, as well as on the hood.

If after purchase and during operation the previous owners did not additionally treat the car with anti-corrosion compounds and did not install plastic wheel arches, then rust may be found on the wheel arches. In addition, it may appear at the bottom of the doors due to clogged drainage.

On Lada 111 station wagons, as a rule, the roof rails peel off, and on all cars in the family, the lower part of the front bumper is often damaged. It doesn’t affect the speed, but it’s fine as an argument for bargaining.

And of course, buying a car that has been in an accident and subsequently repaired poorly poses a certain risk.

It can be identified, in particular, by differences in the color shade of the panels, if the body was not painted entirely, as well as by traces of removing the wings and hood - stripped bolts of their fastenings.

And also by deformations of the metal of the trunk floor and power elements of the body, partially visible in the engine compartment.

About engines

The most common engines found under the hood of models of the “tenth” family are in-line naturally aspirated 8- and 16-valve “fours” with a volume of 1.5 and 1.6 liters, as well as their various modifications.

In general, 8-valve engines are characterized as simpler and more unpretentious, while 16-valve engines are characterized as dynamic and better suited for fast driving. According to reviews from owners, both are quite reliable. With timely care and maintenance, they can last up to 200,000 and even up to 300,000 km.

The exception is cars manufactured in 2002-2003 - defects and defects are not uncommon.

Both engine options are with a timing belt drive. And if with a 1.5-liter 8-valve engine and both versions of a 1.6-liter engine, its breakage does not lead to damage to the valves, then with a 16-valve 1.5 engine this sometimes happens.

Therefore, the manufacturer recommends that on such an engine, every 30,000 km, check the condition of the belt, which costs 600 rubles, and also change it more often - once every 45,000 km, and not every 75,000 km, as with other “tens” engines. In general, 16-valve engines of this model require good service and oil.

If you save on the latter, then once every 100,000 km you can “get” to replace the hydraulic valve clearance compensators - from 300 rubles for each.

At the same frequency, clearances require adjustment on 1.5-liter engines, and replacement of piston rings, costing from 1,000 rubles per set, may be necessary approximately once every 120,000 km.

Also among the weak points of the engines are the mass air flow sensor (MAF) and the idle air regulator (IAC) costing from 2200 and 850 rubles, respectively. They fail due to contamination. The need to replace them will be indicated by high and unstable idle speeds - up to 1200 - 2000 rpm.

And a malfunction of the first will result in increased fuel consumption of the car. By the way, sometimes the air flow sensor can be brought back to life by washing it with carburetor cleaner.

About the transmission

Lada 110, 111 and 112 are equipped with a non-alternative 5-speed manual transmission. Among its disadvantages, in addition to noise, the owners of these models most often cite a problem with engaging individual gears - especially the second.

The culprit is a failing synchronizer costing about 1000 rubles, which operates under heavy loads when switching from 1st to 2nd stage.

At first - on cars produced before 2003 - there were complaints about gearboxes due to a fragile secondary shaft costing 1,560 rubles, and cracking brackets for the gear selection mechanism. But on later cars there were no such complaints.

Minor problems with the transmission can also include wearable “penny” plastic bushings. If the speedometer needle twitches while driving on the car being inspected, then the speed sensor for 540 rubles may have failed.

The clutch assembly of the “tenth” family, costing 3,100 rubles, wears out depending on the driving style of the car owner and, together with the cable, can easily last 100,000 km or more.

By the way, whether the gears change easily in the box also depends on the oil, which is recommended to be changed every 30,000 km.

Rest

When choosing used Lada 110, 111 and 112, pay attention to how the car brakes.

If at the same time you feel a strong vibration, as if the car is driving on a washboard, then most likely the brake piston is jammed, and also, possibly, the handbrake.

The “tenth” family suffers from souring and leakage of the rear brake mechanisms. But if the previous owner of the car changed the cylinders and drums to better analogues, then you will not encounter such a problem.

The weak points in the suspension of the “tens” and its related models are often shock absorbers, which cost at least 2,000 rubles for the front ones and 1,450 rubles for the rear ones.

They can run smoothly for 150,000 km, but they can fail after 20,000 – 40,000 km. Ball joints last an average of at least 40,000 km and cost 740 rubles.

Wheel bearings from 370 rubles last a little longer, and CV joints from 1300 rubles external and from 1600 rubles internal may require replacement every 50,000-60,000 km.

And the “ten” also has a lot of problems with electrics: from brake lights and headlights not lighting up due to poor contact on cars of early years of production, to failed electric windows costing 1,400 rubles each, and door lock drives costing 600 rubles.

Therefore, when inspecting the car you like, check the operation of all electrical appliances, press all the buttons and levers in the cabin, and also make sure that they turn on and off what they should.

Few people would want to disassemble the door trim in order to raise the glass in it if its electric drive suddenly gives up its life.

How much?

The range of prices for sedans and station wagons of the “tenth” AvtoVAZ family is approximately the same - from 40,000 rubles for cars that require cleaning up to 190,000 rubles for copies of the last years of production in Togliatti.

For cars under the Bogdan brand, which were assembled in Ukraine under license until 2014, they ask from 190,000 to 220,000 rubles. Lada 112 hatchbacks, now offered on the secondary market, are often better preserved compared to sedans due to their greater popularity among young people.

But they are already asking for them from 45,000 to 250,000 rubles.

Our choice

According to Am.ru, of the entire “tenth” family with mileage, it is advisable to consider only station wagons from the last years of production as candidates for purchase.

Most often, these are well-groomed family cars that have not been used in taxis, have not been lowered or disfigured by minor customizers, and are also unlikely to have taken part in street racing or any tuning shows.

Moreover, quite good-looking copies are offered on the Internet at a price of about 140,000 – 150,000 rubles.

Main characteristics of 2110

The model in question is a front-wheel drive sedan with four doors. Its serial production started back in 1995. In fact, the car became a transitional link between the classic, beloved by many, “Zhiguli”, and the first sign of the new generation – Samara.

Unlike previous products of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant, produced back in Soviet times, the “ten” came out more modern and received, in particular, a hydraulic power steering. Additionally, VAZ has provided the possibility of equipping the Lada with a control unit. In some trim levels (above the base), electric windows have become available.

The vehicle dimensions are as follows:

• length – 4265 millimeters;
• width – 1680;
• body height – 1420.

The wheelbase size is 2492 mm.

Besides:

• the “ten” has a relatively high ground clearance (16.5 cm) and a weight of 1020 kilograms;
• The trunk of the medium-capacity model has a volume of 450 liters;
• The fuel tank holds 43 liters of 92 gasoline.

The car's power unit is not particularly powerful. A 73 hp engine was installed in the basic configuration. With.

The gearbox is 5-band, domestic and purely mechanical. The unit is quite imperfect - it knocks, is loose and does not work clearly.

The tenth model is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 165 kilometers. Acceleration to hundreds takes her 12.3 seconds. On average, a car spends 9 liters of gasoline per 100 km. The 2110's cabin seats 5 people, but the back seat will be quite cramped.

The legendary “Ten” (VAZ 2110). Pros and cons of the car

The design of the VAZ 2110 began back in 1983. The very first car of this class was supposed to be a rear-wheel drive sedan. However, the development never reached its finish line.

Subsequently, the development of a car based on the VAZ 2108 began, but the price of such a car resulted in a fairly substantial amount, which forced the developers to freeze this project as well.

In the future, all these developments will result in the VAZ 21099 model.

The Togliatti AvtoVAZ plant planned the release of the first “ten”, in the form in which we see it, for 1992. But the time was not calm for Russia, and her birthday was moved to the summer of 1995.

And on June 27, the first, and so beloved by quite a large number of people, “ten” (VAZ 2110) rolled off the AvtoVAZ assembly line. This model was produced for 12 years, until 2007. After which LADA PRIORA came to replace it. Now this car is produced in the city.

Cherkassy in Ukraine, and is called Bogdan.

Features, modifications and characteristics of the VAZ 2110

The tenth AvtoVAZ family includes the following modifications. VAZ 2111, 2112, and of course the “ten” VAZ 2110 itself. The cars are equipped with four-cylinder, eight and sixteen valve gasoline engines. Volume from 1.5 to 1.6 liters.

Initially, the VAZ 2110 was produced with a carburetor power system, and after 2000 it began to be supplied with distributor fuel injection (injector), front-wheel drive.

Body types: VAZ 2110 (sedan), 2111 (station wagon), 2112 (hatchback). If we consider all the modifications from the point of view of repair, we will not find any significant differences. The only difference is different body types and engines. The remaining parts of the car are almost identical to each other.

Production of the VAZ 2110 in Russia was suspended back in 2007, but this development of AvtoVAZ, to this day and in large numbers, can be seen on the roads of our country. This trend has taken hold due to the sufficient reliability of the car, its design, and the low budget price of the car.

Of course, there is no need to talk about luxury inside the cabin. But compared to the VAZ 21099 model, there is much more space in the top ten, especially in the rear seats. Fuses and relays for the main functions of the car are located in the cabin, on the left side under the steering wheel, which is very convenient, unlike 21099.

VAZ 2110, comes with engines 2110, 2111, 2112. Engines 11 and 12 models are equipped with an injector, and models 10 are equipped with a carburetor. With a working engine and battery, it starts even in very severe frosts, down to -25 it will grab quite easily, even if it sits for a couple of days without moving.

It is advisable, of course, that the oil be filled according to the season.

The chassis is excellent for our “high-quality” Russian roads. As for the interior, there are no great amenities, as mentioned above. For a comfortable ride, it will be good if it is occupied by thin or average-built people, and if you seat 4 healthy men in addition to the driver, you can feel like a herring rolled up in a jar.

Having a not very roomy interior, the VAZ 2110 is equipped with a spacious trunk of 450 liters. The transportation of narrow, long cargo is thought out; for this purpose, the middle back of the rear seat reclines completely, the rear backrests located on the sides also recline, but with less amplitude. Skis, pipes, or a roll of linoleum up to 3 meters can be transported in this model.

Disadvantages of the VAZ 2110

The Achilles heel of the car is the stove. When driving down to -15° degrees it’s still okay, but when the thermometer creeps lower, there’s a real contrast in the cabin. The legs freeze from the cold, and the upper body suffers from the heat.

There is no need to talk about sound insulation, unless you bring it to mind on your own. Rattles in the interior of Russian cars are unlikely to surprise anyone, and the VAZ 2110 is no exception. The iron in the hood area is not thick, and pressing the hood frequently when closing it may cause dented spots.

It holds the road quite confidently, which is due to the streamlined shape of the car. Above 130 - 140 km/h, it really becomes scary, but overall not bad. The car's suspension is strong and designed for our country. Power steering is not included in the basic package, but it can be installed as a separate option upon request.

Spare parts, configurations and prices for VAZ 2110

Car maintenance is within the power of the average user. The cost of spare parts - CV joints, struts, steering rack - ranges from 1,500 to 2,500 thousand rubles, but this is, of course, a commercial option. AvtoVAZ factory spare parts cost up to 5,000, 6,000 thousand rubles.

The price of a VAZ 2110 ranges from 100,000 to 200,000 thousand rubles. Depends on the year of manufacture, the condition of the car, and the region where the car was sold. Ukrainian Bogdan from the showroom will cost from 300,000 thousand rubles and more.

RESULT: If you want to buy a car that has good driving performance, is not expensive to maintain and is quite beautiful in appearance, and at an affordable price, but sacrifices something in terms of comfort, then the VAZ 2110 is perfect for you.

Salon and its contents

In addition to the body, the interior has also been updated, and in particular the usability of instruments and control keys has improved. Depending on the configuration, the shape of the torpedo changed, which is quite surprising. In the basic and medium versions, the dashboard opposite the passenger was flat, but in the “luxury” category there was a convenient niche for things. A nice addition to the new torpedo was good assembly - the panel was fastened well, there were no backlashes and there were no unnecessary squeaks, rattles or other rarefaction sounds when driving. It is worth noting that this car has an on-board computer with a fairly fast processor; it performs all the necessary functions at 5/5.

The steering wheel can be adjusted according to the angle of inclination, which is a bit surprising for our car industry; there is a large “emergency light” button on the steering column, it’s hard not to get hit. The basic configuration provides only mechanical windows, but starting from the middle level, the driver and passenger can use electric windows.

In standard and medium configurations, they use inexpensive fabric and fillings; you can’t do without covers; they can’t stand abrasions. But the “Lux” equipment pleases with velor upholstery of the seat and door panels.

Controllability and safety

The VAZ-2110 from the interior was clearly different from cars with modified suspension and struts - the modified camber works wonders. The accuracy and strength of the steering could only be improved after accurate diagnosis and correction at the service station. The newly purchased VAZ-2110 reacted extremely slowly and simply had a large gap in the steering wheel.

VAZ-2110

In the Priora, the torsion bar body is 40% stiffer, which you can immediately feel - the car behaves completely differently. The electric power steering is connected to the same mechanism, so the car still has a little slow response. The steering is quite confident and tight, which allows you to better predict cornering behavior.

The power steering is quite adequate, providing the desired response at medium speeds. In tight S-shaped turns the steering wheel has to turn more than we would like, but the Priora follows the driver's commands more accurately than its predecessor. It is quite possible that with the regular 185 tires that have been announced for the Priora, everything will be better, but for now the car is equipped with only 175/65 R14.

VAZ 2112

This model has been produced since 1999. It is considered the prototype of the VAZ 2110, but more advanced and closer to a sports car. Released in a hatchback body. But despite this, it has a fairly spacious trunk. Another advantage of this car is that the rear seats fold down, each separately. Due to this, it is convenient to transport larger and longer luggage.

Quite a nice pendant. The car drives quite smoothly, “swallowing” potholes and bumps. The car is well suited for off-road travel and rough roads. It adapts quite well to Russian climatic conditions. Available with eight- and sixteen-valve engines. Manual Transmission. Steering without power steering. It has a fairly large ground clearance, which allows you to easily go around potholes.

We choose “VAZ-2112” on the secondary market

There is plenty to choose from - almost 4,500 cars at the moment with an average price tag of 130 thousand rubles. However, in addition to problems with the hardware and chassis, other troubles may await you in the form of a tarnished operating history.

For example, the seller sells a 2004 car with a mileage of 112 thousand km for 45 thousand rubles:

“The car is in excellent condition,” writes the owner, but what the avtocod.ru report showed did not work in VAZ’s favor:

Restrictions on registration with the traffic police, increased mileage, one accident and even disposal - in general, not our option. However, while we were preparing the material, the car went to another buyer.

Salon and trunk

The interior of the VAZ 2110 looks unprepossessing and stern. What's immediately noticeable is the simple two-spoke steering wheel without an airbag and the conventional dashboard with a few buttons. There are large buttons on the side of it, and there are large gaps in the center console. Ten does not support the required set of options compared to modern analogues. Only a clock, a stove, a niche for a radio and a 12-volt cigarette lighter with backlight are available. Only two people can comfortably fit in the back.

Depending on the configuration, the car provides:

• air conditioner;
• electric windows;
• central locking.

According to user reviews, the main disadvantage of the model is isolation. The coating is very hard and constantly crunches. The car won't be perfectly quiet, but you can eliminate most of the noise with additional sound insulation. The trunk volume of the VAZ 2110 is 450 liters.

VAZ employees would not be themselves if they had made a Priora without flaws. The car is like a “rattle” - the door cards, the rear parcel shelf, the whistle from the door seals, the suspension (albeit in good condition) - everything rattles with different frequencies and volumes.

The body parameters in the new model remained the same, but the seats in the Priora became 15-30 mm higher. Passengers and the driver who are taller than average will not feel very comfortable. Priora owners have every chance to give up such a bad habit as smoking. Using an ashtray in a car is very difficult, but it snaps into place much better!

VAZ Priora salon

The trunk volume of the Priora sedan is 430 liters, the hatchback – 400 liters. The total length of the sedan is 4350 mm. (hatchback is 140 mm shorter), width – 1680 mm, height – up to 1508 mm. with a wheelbase of 2492 mm. The car is equipped with 14-inch wheels with 185/65 R14 tires.

Suspension

Which is better - VAZ-2112 or VAZ-2114? Technically, these machines are very similar to each other. So, the front has an independent suspension on MacPherson struts. At the rear there is a semi-independent beam. Steering - rack. In luxury trim levels it can be supplemented with an amplifier. If we consider which is better - VAZ-2112 or VAZ-2114, both cars have the same smoothness. According to subjective feelings, the “dvenashka” is a little softer than the “Samara”. But this largely depends on the type of shock absorbers and the height of the tire profile.

Brakes The brakes on the VAZ-2112 and 2114 are of a mixed type. There are discs at the front and drums at the rear. Ready-made sets of ventilated discs with perforations are also sold for installation on the front and rear axles.

The cost of a new set with pads, caliper, pad and bracket is about three and a half thousand rubles per side.

What has changed in the salon?

The interior of the Priora looks modern; high-quality materials are used in its decoration. However, the build quality of the interior is not at the highest level.

NOT SO long ago, a friend of mine bought a “ten”. Before the car had time to leave the gates of the dealership, several “crickets” had already appeared in the cabin. In this regard, the new “Lada” is head and shoulders above its predecessors - no squeaks or rattles are heard while driving. Has the build quality of Tolyatti cars finally improved?

Alas, not by much. The power window keys, now located not on the floor tunnel, but on the doors, only work under decent pressure, and the windows go down with a noticeable delay. The plastic of the front panel is soft and pleasant to the touch, but the glove box can only be closed with a punch, if not a kick. Doors, which are standardly equipped with anti-noise locks, nevertheless slam shut with a clanging sound - their adjustments will have to be done by the future owner. What about central locking? This is a separate story. Its mechanism is activated with the sound of a falling guillotine knife.

The rear seat has a hatch for transporting long items, such as skis, that will not fit entirely in the trunk. But even the main developer of Priora took about ten minutes to open this “gate”, and in the process the plastic latch broke...

Nevertheless, in general, the interior of the Priora leaves a fairly positive impression. Finally, the buttons for turning on the headlights, foglights and heated rear window, located at the “ten” on the visor of the instrument cluster and covered by the steering wheel, have disappeared. The light control on the Priora is controlled by a round knob on the left side of the front panel, like on German cars.

Instead of archaic sliders that regulate the airflow direction, three round knobs on the center console have become more intuitive to operate, and the electrically adjustable and heated mirrors that come as standard are adjusted with a convenient joystick on the driver’s door.

Service cost

The costs of servicing VAZ 2110 and Lada Priora cars, according to user reviews, are approximately the same, and will cost you 50-70 thousand rubles. in year. These are repairs, maintenance, etc.

The cost of owning a VAZ 2110 with an average annual mileage of 15,000 km will cost approximately 59-60 thousand rubles. This includes:

• costs for AI-95 gasoline at a price of 45 rubles. per liter and an average consumption of 7.5 liters. per 100 km. – 50,700 rub.;
• OSAGO under standard conditions for this car – 7,600 rubles;
• transport tax – about 1000 rubles.

The cost of owning a Lada Priora with 15,000 km of annual mileage on average will cost approximately 58,000 rubles. This includes:

• costs for AI-95 gasoline at a price of 45 rubles. per liter and an average consumption of 7.3 liters. per 100 km. – 49,300 rubles;
• OSAGO under standard conditions for this car – 7,600 rubles;
• transport tax - about 1,100 rubles.

When comparing, it is clear that both models, despite different generations and years of production, have spare parts that are similar in price and complexity, which will not be difficult to find.

Engines and gearboxes of the “twelfth”

“Dvenashka” was loved for its high-spirited 16-valve 1.5-liter engine with 98 hp. s., accelerating the car to hundreds in 12.5 seconds and consuming only seven liters of fuel. A 1.6 liter engine with 94 hp is also available with 16 valves. With. You can also take a 1.5 liter eight-valve engine producing 78 hp. With. or 1.6 per 81 liters. With.

All engines are well studied and repairable, but I would not recommend taking a one and a half liter 16-valve engine with 94 horsepower. Its only valve bends when the timing belt breaks, and with the quality of Russian spare parts you can expect this at any mileage. Repairs will cost at least 10 thousand rubles.

Only a manual transmission is available, it doesn’t have any special problems (the gears are long, shifts without problems), except that it “howls” a little at high speeds.

VAZ 2112

This model has been produced since 1999. It is considered the prototype of the VAZ 2110, but more advanced and closer to a sports car. Released in a hatchback body. But despite this, it has a fairly spacious trunk. Another advantage of this car is that the rear seats fold down, each separately. Due to this, it is convenient to transport larger and longer luggage.

Quite a nice pendant. The car drives quite smoothly, “swallowing” potholes and bumps. The car is well suited for off-road travel and rough roads. It adapts quite well to Russian climatic conditions. Available with eight- and sixteen-valve engines. Manual Transmission. Steering without power steering. It has a fairly large ground clearance, which allows you to easily go around potholes.

Where is the warmer VAZ 2110 or VAZ 2112

The domestic automobile industry occupies the largest share in Russia among all cars. They are so popular because of their significant qualities. They are almost completely adapted to our climatic conditions and roads. They also attract with their affordable price compared to foreign cars.

general characteristics

So, let's start with the “twelve”. This machine is a derivative of the “ten”, the development of which began during the USSR. The first hatchback was released in 1999. The car was mass-produced until 2008 and underwent minor technical changes (in particular, these are the engines, which we will talk about later). On the basis of this car, the Priora was then created.

As for the “fourteenth”, it is the direct successor of the “nine”. The car was mass-produced from 1997 to 2013. The assembly took place in Tolyatti and Zaporozhye. As he himself says, it is an improved version of the first generation “Samara”. First of all, the changes affected driving performance, braking system and appearance.

Which car should you prefer?

Lada 110 is a good choice for its time (more than 10 years ago). But, unfortunately, the car has not reached an acceptable level in terms of quality.

Pros:

• good aerodynamics;
• affordable price.

Minuses:

• very mediocre workmanship and assembly quality, especially the body;
• quite high noise level;
• “slow”, “slow” and uncertain driving;
• uncomfortable steering wheel.

The VAZ-2110 has its fans and a lot of reviews on the Internet. The car is far from ideal and has many shortcomings. On the other hand, for such a price it is simply impossible to choose something better.

Lada Priora is a pretty successful change of style, but the model would have been more relevant 5-6 years earlier.

Pros:

• more modern appearance;
• good body quality;
• airbag;
• better handling due to body rigidity.

Minuses:

• traditionally low quality;
• uncomfortable seats for tall drivers and passengers;
• minor flaws in ergonomics.

Lada 2170 (Priora) is a step in the right direction, albeit a very small and late one. The improvements are visible only to those who have not tried a good foreign car, and such drivers are becoming fewer and fewer. In other words, the Priora has many advantages over the “top ten”, but only the owners of the “top ten” will be able to fully appreciate them.

Technical features of the models

VAZ 2110 has a 4-door body. Its “sisters” are presented under the brands 111 (station wagon, until 2004 in Russia – VAZ 2111) and 112 (hatchback, until 2004 in Russia – VAZ 2112). The body design is quite rough and boring. The car looks heavier than it actually is. However, despite its small size, the interior is relatively spacious. The quality of the materials used and their fit leave much to be desired, but the price for which you can buy a VAZ 2110 compensates for any inconvenience.

Lada Priora has excellent sound insulation. If we compare acoustic comfort with a VAZ 2110, then in the Priora gearbox the noise is almost inaudible, and everything else has also become noticeably quieter. The difference in engines is even more noticeable. The 10's engine was far from ideal, so its volume was increased to meet stricter emissions standards (at that time Russia introduced an "obligation" to comply with at least the outdated Euro-2 standard).

The engine has not been modernized in the most successful way, so 16 valves are effective only at medium speeds and downright slow in other situations. The difference between the 8- and 16-valve “tens” engines is insignificant.

For comparison, Priora has a more advanced VAZ-21126 engine, which not only rotates faster and is quieter, but is also much more dynamic at high speeds, which was lacking in older analogue engines. Separately, it is necessary to highlight the energy intensity of the suspension - on a bad road you can drive at a higher speed without much damage to the car. It is very difficult to break the suspension of a Priora.

"VAZ-2112" entered production line in 1999 and became the final link of the "tenth" generation. At one time it was even called a “hot hatchback”. So, journalists dubbed it for its powerful 16-valve engine and enlarged ventilated brake discs, already available in the “base”.

The model has not been produced for 11 years, but is still in high demand among buyers. Since the beginning of the year, according to avtocod.ru, it has been checked more than 140 thousand times, placing it in 20th place among other brands of used cars. What is found in this simple car with such a variety of choices on the secondary market and who it will suit, we look into the VAZ-2112 review.

Prices

At the very beginning, they asked for more for this hatchback than for other models. It was considered quite expensive. Perhaps the reason for this is the power windows and lock. However, a little later, prices dropped, and configurations and equipment became richer.

Today, the average price for a VAZ-2112 car (16 valves) is from 90 to 250 thousand rubles, depending on the configuration, tuning, and engine. The car is suitable for various changes, so owners modify it.

According to user reviews, the most optimal cost is about 150 thousand rubles. Since at this level it is not rubbish that is offered.

So, we found out what technical characteristics, price, reviews and configurations the VAZ-2112 car has. Happy shopping!

VAZ-2110 or VAZ Priora - detailed comparison of characteristics, cost of service and maintenance

VAZ-2110 is a middle-class passenger car produced by a Russian automobile company. The car debuted in 1995 as the successor to the famous Samara, although it was produced until 2015. The car appeared on the domestic market as the VAZ 2110, and only after 2004 was introduced in Russia as the Lada 110.

The Russian sedan Lada Priora (2170) is another hope for success in the domestic market. Even the Russian professional press was not immediately able to accurately determine the differences compared to the previous model. Initially, unofficially, one of the manufacturer’s representatives described the car as “a deep restyling of the 2110, which is very close to the original.” The suspension and braking system were changed, the body received new contours, although the doors remained the same.

Review of VAZ 2110

The first “tens” went on sale in 1995 and were produced at AvtoVAZ until 2007, and after another seven years in Ukraine. Currently they are only available on the secondary market.

In terms of the number of units offered, 2110 is in fifth place among other cars of the Lada family, and in terms of the number of units purchased - in fourth place. Since the beginning of the year, according to autocod.

ru, Russians purchased more than 297 thousand “ten”.

The picture of a potential buyer today is very different from what it was in the 90s. Then the “ten” was a symbol of prosperity and not everyone could afford it, but now it is a budget car, most often bought by young and novice drivers.

For a used car, sellers on average ask 163.4 thousand rubles. Is it worth buying it and what problems await potential owners? Let's look at the VAZ-2110 review.

Engines and gearboxes

The “ten” has a difficult fate: its release has been pushed back and delayed more than once. Either because of a lack of funding, or because of the collapse of the USSR, or because of the lack of normal equipment for plastic and suppliers of parts.

The first VAZ-2110 turned out to be crude and underwent constant modifications. Due to constant modifications, a total of 16 different engines were installed on the “tens”, including their modifications.

All of them were paired with a five-speed manual transmission.

There were five main and most common engines:

• carburetor 1.5 l, 8 cl., 72 l. s., with a consumption of 7.6 l/100 km and acceleration of 14 seconds;
• injection 1.5 l, 8 cells, 78 l. s., with a consumption of 7.2 l/100 km and acceleration of 14 seconds;
• injection 1.6 l, 8 cells, 81 l. s., with a consumption of 7.2 l/100 km and acceleration of 13 seconds;
• injection 1.5 l, 16 cells, 94 l. s., with a consumption of 7.8 l/100 km and acceleration of 12.5 seconds;
• injection 1.6 l, 16 cells, 98 l. s., with a consumption of 7.2 l/100 km and acceleration of 12 sec.

All “tens” engines are quite economical even by modern standards. All of them are repairable, and you definitely won’t experience any problems with spare parts for the VAZ-2110. The most problem-free engines, in our opinion, are the 1.5 and 1.6 liter eight-valve injection engines, as well as the 16-valve 1.6.

A one and a half liter 16-valve engine can cause problems if you don’t keep track of the timing belt. In this case, the valve will bend, and repairs will cost at least 10 thousand rubles.

Cars produced in 2002-2003. It's better not to consider it at all. Back then, a lot of defects came out of the factory. The car's gearbox jammed, turning them uncontrollable. Also, due to incorrectly fitted parts, problems arose with the engine cylinder head.

Suspension and driving characteristics

The shock absorbers of the “ten” are like a lottery. They can travel 100-150 thousand km, or they can fail at 30 thousand km. It’s better to change them in pairs, but you shouldn’t bother and install something from tuning. The original shock absorbers cope well with uneven roads. When purchasing, pay attention to the upper strut mounts: they suffer from rubber peeling.

At the rear, the 2110 has a conventional torsion beam. Everything is as simple as possible and should not cause problems. Pay attention to the rear brakes. If vibration occurs when braking, the rear piston is most likely seized or leaking. The problem is treated by replacing the part with a foreign analogue.

In general, the car is quite passable and can give a head start to many modern sedans. Ground clearance of 160 mm and high overhangs will allow you to easily park even at high curbs and move on light off-road conditions.

Salon "VAZ-2110"

One can only dream of comfort inside the “ten”. The salon is cramped, there is nothing special there. However, the manufacturer must be given credit. “Ten” is the first “Soviet” car with an adjustable steering column. The panel is completely turned towards the driver, and this is convenient for him, but the neighbor on the right will rest his left knee on it.

The trunk is designed for 450 liters of cargo. A folded baby stroller can easily fit here, but there will be problems with transporting long items: the rear seats in the “ten” do not fold down.

The options are also sad. On early models, only electric windows and heated front seats are available; on later models you will find power steering and air conditioning (on Bogdans - electric power steering).

One can only dream about safety in a VAZ-2110. There is no ABS, no airbags - all hope is for icons with gods. And this is one of the main disadvantages of the VAZ-2110, which negates all the advantages of the car, primarily for beginners and young drivers.

Pros and cons of "VAZ-2110"

Another drawback of used “ten” cars is body corrosion. If the previous owner did not do the anticorrosive treatment on time, it appears even on relatively new cars.

The main sources of occurrence are wheel arches, sills, the bottom of doors, the bottom and the contour of the rubber seal on the roof side.

If the car is more than ten years old and you don’t see any corrosion, most likely this is a painted car (perhaps this option is even better than a rusty one).

Another common problem with the “ten” is sticky windows and failure of the door lock drive. If you don’t want surprises, immediately after purchase, carry out maintenance and lubricate these components.

You may also encounter non-functioning taillights due to poor clamping of the bulb in the socket. If you take the car, take the time to clean and tighten the contacts (or just knock on them - sometimes it works).

Problems of the “tenth family” on the used market

Before purchasing a VAZ-2110, check the history of the vehicle you like. A third of the “ten” are sold with registration restrictions, reduced mileage and after a taxi. Every fourth car is sold damaged or with unpaid fines.

Some owners put cars up for sale with several problems at once. We almost immediately found one.

"Ten" 2003 with a 1.5 73 liter engine. With. and a mileage of about 210 thousand km for 75 thousand rubles:

The owner indicated that restrictions were imposed on the car, and the check also found incorrect mileage, a small accident and a couple of unpaid fines for driving in a public transport lane:

Due to existing restrictions, the future owner will have problems with registration. The issue of fines and lifting of restrictions should be resolved during the inspection of the car.

Is it worth buying?

The Russian “ten” is no longer a dream; its former popularity has irrevocably sunk into oblivion. You obviously won’t look back at such a car when leaving the parking lot, and in the looks of passers-by you definitely won’t encounter envy or admiration, but rather sympathy and sadness. Therefore, the choice of such a car is rather not conscious and desired, but forced.

Such a car is taken as a first car to hone driving skills. The VAZ-2210 will cope well with this role. The cost of repairs and spare parts is minimal, and you can even service your car in your own garage. In addition, the “ten” is unpretentious to fuel and economical in consumption.

Distinctive features

The most important difference, of course, is the body. Hatchback and sedan. Everyone has their own fans. Some people fundamentally prefer the first option, while others prefer the second. Due to the body, the driving style of the car is also different. The VAZ 2112 is significantly shorter, which allows it to be more maneuverable and take turns better.

The next difference is the difference in clearance. It is not big, only 5 mm. This fact doesn’t make much of a difference. Both cars have a fairly high level of cross-country ability and are quite tall, which is well suited for bad roads. The bumpers are not mounted low and do not touch bumps.

Fuel consumption differs slightly. Literally a few tenths. Both cars are practical and inexpensive to maintain. The fuel tank volume is the same.

Another major difference is the volume of the luggage compartment. Of course, in a hatchback it is much smaller, due to the properties of the body. But despite this, there are distinctive advantages, and this is the ability to fold out the rear seats, thereby increasing the trunk volume. In turn, creating the discomfort of moving in the cabin. Especially if this trip takes place in winter. The trunk is not insulated and the interior is instantly cooled.

VAZ-2111

The previous modification of a similar body design – the legendary 2104 (“four”) – was already 15 years old by the time the production of 2111 began. VAZ-2111 is the first VAZ station wagon with front-wheel drive.

The trunk volume with a total vehicle load capacity of 500 kg varies from 490 to 1420 liters. This is due to the fact that the rear seats can be folded in such a way as to create a flat horizontal floor, and the backrest, if necessary, can easily be folded out in a ratio of 1:2. If there is a luggage structure, an additional 50 kg of cargo can be placed on the roof. Also, with a towbar, it is possible to tow a trailer up to 1000 kg, equipped with brakes. The car body is mounted on a supporting frame with rubber-metal elements, on which it rests at 10 points. Thanks to this solution, it was possible to reduce the level of vibration and noise in the cabin, and the body became stronger and more durable. The choice of engines for the 2111 is similar to the sedan. There is also a 21110 with an eight-valve 1500 cc engine. cm with a power of 76 l. With.; 21111 with a carburetor engine (from a VAZ-21083) with a volume of 1500 cubic meters. see and 21113 with a sixteen-valve engine with a capacity of 1600 cc. cm increased power.

There were also 3 configuration options - “standard”, “luxury” and “norm”. In 1997, together with the AVTOVAZ Research and Development Center, the DECON design group created a new comfortable SUV and called it “Tarzan”. The car is a hybrid of the body structure and frame chassis of the front-wheel drive models of the “tenth” family with transmission elements and main suspension components from the Niva (2121). Moreover, all units, except for the elongated cardan shafts and the frame itself, are serial.

Salon and trunk

The interior of the VAZ 2110 looks unprepossessing and stern. What's immediately noticeable is the simple two-spoke steering wheel without an airbag and the conventional dashboard with a few buttons. There are large buttons on the side of it, and there are large gaps in the center console. Ten does not support the required set of options compared to modern analogues. Only a clock, a stove, a niche for a radio and a 12-volt cigarette lighter with backlight are available. Only two people can comfortably fit in the back.

Depending on the configuration, the car provides:

• air conditioner;
• electric windows;
• central locking.

According to user reviews, the main disadvantage of the model is isolation. The coating is very hard and constantly crunches. The car won't be perfectly quiet, but you can eliminate most of the noise with additional sound insulation. The trunk volume of the VAZ 2110 is 450 liters.

VAZ employees would not be themselves if they had made a Priora without flaws. The car is like a “rattle” - the door cards, the rear parcel shelf, the whistle from the door seals, the suspension (albeit in good condition) - everything rattles with different frequencies and volumes.

The body parameters in the new model remained the same, but the seats in the Priora became 15-30 mm higher. Passengers and the driver who are taller than average will not feel very comfortable. Priora owners have every chance to give up such a bad habit as smoking. Using an ashtray in a car is very difficult, but it snaps into place much better!

VAZ Priora salon

The trunk volume of the Priora sedan is 430 liters, the hatchback – 400 liters. The total length of the sedan is 4350 mm. (hatchback is 140 mm shorter), width – 1680 mm, height – up to 1508 mm. with a wheelbase of 2492 mm. The car is equipped with 14-inch wheels with 185/65 R14 tires.

Comfort and equipment

2114 has a more ancient body than 2112, but this did not stop it from being made more elegant. Even the standard instrumentation looks a little more interesting than that of the 2112. It is not clear why, but the 2114 has much less creaks, crackles and play in the buttons and control levers than the twelfth. As for the options, both cars can be equipped with any electronic tricks, so there is no point in comparing the configurations, and the owner himself can install the missing air conditioning or EBD if he really wants. The 2112's interior looks more practical and its seats are more comfortable than those of the 2114.

The steering column is height adjustable in both cars, but in terms of comfort and practicality in using the trunk - 2112 is ahead. The volume of the luggage compartment in the 2114 is 250 liters, and in the 2112 it is as much as 340. In addition, the two-piece allows you to fold the back of the rear row of seats not completely, but in parts, which is much more convenient when transporting long cargo.

Technical features of LADA 2110

Compared to the VAZ -21099 model, the performance characteristics of the “ten” were significantly improved. So fuel consumption with a 1.5-liter engine became 7.5/100 km, which is 12% less than the previous model, and the maximum speed was also increased to 162 km/h.

The model with an 8-valve 79-horsepower, 1.5-liter engine already developed 170 km/h and went to “hundreds” in 14 seconds. The engine fit perfectly into heavy city traffic due to its torque and elasticity.

The engine version with a twin-shaft 16-valve head, 1.5 liter capacity, produced 94 hp. and provided acceleration to “hundreds” - 12.5 s and a maximum speed of 185 km/h.
