- FirmwareBurner 3y agoLada Niva
- poisonborz 3y agoIf you can buy one from 30 years ago kept in a collection. With current ones you have some parts that are still built like a tank, but other parts just fall apart. You can't buy dumb AND quality cars outside of the maker/restoration scene.

- genocidicbunny 3y agoFrom what I recall reading recently, the most recent models are cheap Chinese-made cars with the bare minimum of attention and QC put into them. Like, frame welded with spot welds that can be pulled apart by hand kind of issues.
- FireBeyond 3y agoLet's not just throw that in the box of "cheap Chinese". Tesla has shipped cars with windshields not attached to the vehicle in any way, has shipped cars with missing brake pads, etc.
- genocidicbunny 3y agoI'm not. This is not the 'cheap Chinese' box. This is the 'absolute worst possible quality car that stays together long enough to ship to Russia and get sold before it falls apart after the first rough ride' box. Tesla's QC issues make them look like bespoke works of art compared to what I saw of some of the newest Ladas. It's one thing when you're missing parts or badly glued windshields. It's a whole other thing when the welds holding the frame of your car together have the structural integrity of butter on Venus.
- maximus-decimus 3y agoMaybe I will buy that Mitsubishi Mirage after all.
- numpad0 3y agoYes(ironically). That thing is closest analogue to a USDM Kei car if such existed. The only problem is crash safety.
