Russian cars have failed to make an impact here in Australia, Lada came here in the late 80s and subsequently left in the mid 90s amid poor sales and reliability worries. But one man who is determined to clear up any issues about Lada’s reliability was captured on video a few days ago.

From our limited knowledge of Russian cars, it appears to be a Lada 2109, which looks like it was recently hit by a bus. Not to worry though as it seems more than capable of getting around.

We might have expected something like this from a Toyota Corolla but nonetheless, not bad for a Lada!
