So from your sample of one you have determined that eveyone else is at fault.
I am sure there are people out there that have owned a lada that has given them a good service life so everyone else who has had issues must be at fault not the piss poor quality control at LADA itself.

Its no joke that a vehicle that enjoyed a reputation of reliability and motor with what is shaping up to be a very long model run is still having issues. Especially when after 5 years there should be far better alternatives.
The ZD30 is a joke, its a laughing stock of the japanese made 4x4 world.
