Lada 2110:

The Lada 110 or VAZ-2110 is a compact car built by the Russian automaker AvtoVAZ from 1995 to 2009. It spawned two close derivatives: the Lada 111 estate and the Lada 112 hatchback.
The Lada 110 and its variants were replaced in 2007 by the Lada Priora; which was a largely restyled and modernised version of the Lada 110.
The prototype of the Lada 110, known as the 300 series, was created in 1987 and optimized for aerodynamics in Zuffenhausen, Germany, in cooperation between AvtoVAZ and Porsche engineers. The first photos of the new compact car were published in the popular monthly magazine Za Rulem in November 1990, and the car itself was demonstrated at the AvtoVAZ Tolyatti factory in 1991. Serial production was planned to start in the following year, but an economic crisis stalled the project and the first cars did not roll off the assembly line until June 27, 1995. The Lada 110 featured a 1. 6 litre engine producing approximately 90 hp. Production began with 8-valve engines; a 16 valve engine was offered later. Overall, the car weighed around 1050 kilograms. It had electric windows, trip computer, power steering, and galvanized body panels. Fuel-injected models were equipped with electronic engine management system. In early 2006, new taillights and a new dashboard were introduced....(Read more on Wikipedia)

4 Overview:

Lada 2110 (4). With 131 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~7.7 l/100km). Weighing only 1040 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 12 s). The top speed reaches 180 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.

Expert Note:
The Lada 2110 generation was not officially tested by Euro NCAP. Independent tests from the era (e.g., ARCAP) indicated very poor safety performance, reflecting a lack of modern safety features and structural integrity.

1.6 i 16V (90 Hp) Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

This 90 Hp engine provides adequate, but uninspiring, performance for daily commuting, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 12 seconds. It's sufficient for city driving but struggles with spirited highway maneuvers.

Fuel Economy

The combined fuel consumption of 7.2 l/100 km is average for a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engine from this period, offering reasonable economy for its class.

Best Use Case: City / Suburban Commuting

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Highly affordable purchase price
  • • Simple and relatively easy to maintain mechanics (in some regions)
  • • Decent trunk space for its class
  • • Robust build for challenging road conditions

Cons:

  • • Outdated design and interior quality
  • • Very poor safety ratings and lack of modern safety features
  • • Modest performance and refinement
  • • Questionable build quality and reliability in the long term
