VAZ 2114 - The most popular domestic car... The fourteenth replaced the VAZ 2109. The changes were made as in appearance body, and in the salon.
Sport style
The sporty appearance is achieved by the moldings installed on the body along all the sides of the car, a spoiler and decorative sills.
The car has good tech. characteristics, holds the track well, enters corners well even on high speed in comparison with the classic model, and with the predecessor 2109.
VAZ 2114 is in good demand among fans of domestic tuning. A simple body structure and relatively cheap maintenance makes it possible to experiment and become individual in the gray stream of cars.
Specifications
Conventional 4-cylinder 8 valve motor You will not surprise anyone, so you should not expect any special characteristics. Front-wheel drive, standard gearbox, drum and disc brakes. The differences between the hatchback and sedans are in the volume of the trunk, which increases with the rear seat backs folded. The body shape in our case does not affect the dynamics. It makes no sense to compare the performance of the VAZ 2114 with the classics - aerodynamics due to smoother and more modern body lines makes the car easier to drive. Well, the rest of the VAZ 2114 is ordinary russian car, which is popular with many residents of the country and is desirable in every family. Most of the copies are injector, since 2011 an electronic gas pedal has been installed - e-gas.

Cars of the Lada “Samara 2” family have been produced by JSC “AvtoVAZ” since 1997 to the present. Into the car family LADA Samara 2 includes: 3-door hatchback VAZ-2113, 5-door hatchback VAZ-2114 and sedan VAZ-2115. Since 2007, these cars have been equipped with a VAZ-21114 engine (1.6 / 81 hp).
The history of cars of the Samara 2 family is straightforward - in fact, they are a shallow modernization and restyling (the interior and, especially, the exterior was noticeably redesigned) of cars of the LADA Samara / Sputnik family (Samara was an export version of Sputnik) produced by VAZ ( Volzhsky car factory) from 1984 to 2004.
Recall that LADA Samara / Sputnik is, one might say, the legendary front-wheel drive "eights" (VAZ-2108 - 3-door hatchback) and "nines" (VAZ-2109 - 5-door hatchback), the appearance of which coincided with the "restructuring ”. These cars have become a real revolution in the domestic auto industry. Later (in 1990) they were joined by the "ninety-ninth" (VAZ-21099 - sedan), which turned out to be so popular that even after the produced by Lada Samara at VAZ, it is still being assembled in Ukraine.
Today's LADA Samara 2 are cars with good stability and controllability, the exterior design of which emphasizes their dynamics. These cars are usually the choice of young people for whom LADA Priora is it too serious or expensive, and LADA Kalina - too frivolous.
And the huge potential inherent in the cars of this family, combined with the ardor and ambitions of its target audience, creates an unthinkable scope for tuning these cars. Everything is tuned in Lada Samara - from the engine, suspension and brakes to body kit, light and exhaust. Tuning, at times, changes this car absolutely beyond recognition.
More details about each model of the LADA Samara 2 family.
VAZ-2113 Is a three-door front-wheel drive hatchback in the LADA SAMARA 2 family. Lada 2113 is a significantly improved version of the VAZ-21083 car. These are the same excellent driving performance, agility and responsive brakes, but also significant changes both outside and inside.
The appearance of the car has acquired more sporting features: the headlight section has narrowed, the shape of the bonnet has been changed, the body has become more streamlined (including due to specially designed bumpers), and a rear spoiler with a built-in brake light has also appeared.
The quality of finishing has improved in the interior, and the old dashboard was replaced by a modern one. The luggage compartment of the VAZ-2113 has a volume of 330 liters, which can be increased by folding rear seats.
Lada 2113 is equipped with a 1.6-liter 80-horsepower gasoline engine, corresponding to European Euro-3 standards, and is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission. VAZ-2113 can reach speeds of up to 160 km / h. The acceleration speed from 0 to 100 km / h is 13.2 seconds. Fuel consumption per 100 km of track is ~ 7.6 liters (the volume of the fuel tank is 43 liters).
The price of a VAZ-2113 car starts at ~ 228 thousand rubles.
VAZ-2114 Is a front wheel drive five-door hatchback from the LADA SAMARA 2 family. Lada 2114 is a comfortable city car, which can even be attributed to the class of family cars.
VAZ 2114 is built on the basis previous model - the time-tested "nine" (VAZ-2109), which has undergone a major modernization. Exterior plan new hatchback Lada Samara 2 received the same new grille, hood, bumpers and headlights cut.
Technical and dynamic characteristics are almost the same as the VAZ-2113.
Prices for a VAZ-2114 car start from ~ 240 thousand rubles.
VAZ-2115 - this is LADA SAMARA 2 Sedan, i.e. five-door front wheel drive sedan class C. Lada 2115 is an excellent city car and great option for family country trips. It is versatile because its stiff suspension and high enough (for a sedan) ground clearance make it possible to successfully overcome even light off-road conditions. And you can easily place all your luggage in the luggage compartment, which has a volume of 427 liters.
The interior of LADA SAMARA VAZ-2115 is finished with materials good quality and is in line with current trends. The car is quite comfortable: an ergonomic interior, comfortable seats, the ability to adjust the steering wheel and seats for the height of the driver and passengers.
The aerodynamics and maneuverability of the LADA 2115 are just as high as that of the hatchbacks of this family. The sedan holds the road with confidence and is excellent at cornering.
Dynamics, technical and performance characteristics sedan VAZ-2115, otherwise, are similar to hatchbacks, except that it is longer than them by 208 mm.
Prices for the VAZ-2115 sedan start at ~ 247 thousand rubles.
This is what the family looks like today lADA cars Samara 2 - universal in use and inexpensive cars with dynamic and enough modern design exterior, plus great prospects for tuning.
The only thing that can be called a BIG minus of these cars is that their level of safety is simply nonexistent (there is not even an airbag for the driver).
Despite the termination of mass production, the VAZ-2114 is still in high demand in the market. Often these cars are bought by young people. Also, many advise to buy "Lada" as the first training car. For some, the VAZ-2114 performs the function of a second car in the family for trips to the dacha or somewhere else. But is it worth buying given VAZ? Is the VAZ-2114 a super car? Reviews will help us understand this issue.
Appearance
Let's start our description with the exterior. It's not a secret for anybody that "four" is just a faceted "nine". If you look in profile, then these cars will be completely identical. Among the innovations, it is worth noting more rounded headlights, a different bumper (now it is painted in body color) and wide moldings that are present around the entire perimeter of the body. Appearance this carthe mobile does not evoke emotions, say the reviews. VAZ-2114 is difficult to isolate from the stream. The only solution is to use a lowered suspension and other rims at least 15 inches in diameter. Also, owners often tint these cars. The appearance of such a car is unusual, but it is not entirely legal.
As noted by reviews, the VAZ-2114 car has bad headlights. Yes, they do not grow cloudy, like on foreign cars (since there is real glass, not plastic). But the light from the factory halogens leaves much to be desired. In view of this, many owners install xenon. And not only in the head optics, but also in the fog lights. Only after this tuning does the car acquire normal light. But you need to choose high-quality xenon, and it is advisable to put it in lenses - this significantly reduces the risk of dazzling oncoming drivers.
Now about the body itself. What do the reviews say about the quality of the metal? VAZ-2114 surprisingly rots even more than nine. The fact is that Samara-2 uses a lot of plastic, which is glued to double-sided tape. During operation, sand and other dirt gets into the gap between the moldings and the body. And if you think you wash high pressure will clear it, you are deeply mistaken. Getting rid of this dirt is very difficult. It acts as an abrasive, rubbing away the varnish and primer layer. As a result, the bottom of the doors in the car rots, as well as the rear lada in the area of \u200b\u200bthe plastic spoiler. If you do not regularly treat the car with mastic and "move", the body will rot even faster.
Dimensions, clearance
The car has the same dimensions as the nine. The body length is 4.12 meters, the width is 1.65 meters, and the height is 1.4 meters. The car is very compact, and there are no difficulties with parking, reviews say. VAZ-2114 has one more advantage, which came from the "nine". This is the ground clearance. The clearance on standard 14-inch wheels is 16.5 centimeters.
This is enough to easily travel to the forest, fishing or somewhere else on dirt roads. The car behaves perfectly and on loose snow... "Chetyrka" is difficult to bury and put on the belly. Cross-country ability is one of the main advantages of this car model.
Salon
The interior of the "fourteenth" is slightly different. Unlike the "nine", where there was a clumsy angular torpedo, a more civilized europanel appeared here.
But the main ailment with the creaky panel was inherited by the "fourteenth". Whatever sound insulation is here, plastic constantly makes itself felt. This manifests itself on both small and high speed... What else do the reviews say about the VAZ-2114? At 90 kilometers per hour, air from the street begins to burst into the cabin. As motorists note, a weak seal is to blame.
The seats in the car are harsh. Adjustment is only mechanical, no heating. The steering wheel is completely devoid of any settings. Ergonomics - at the "nine" level. Among the advantages can be noted a roomy trunk. Its volume is 400 liters. But the shelf interferes with the transportation of high loads. In addition, it also rattles, the owners say. This is an "incurable disease". The only way out is to replace the shelf with a tuning shelf made of thick plywood. By the way, over time, the factory shelf sags. It is quite thin.
Specifications
"Samara-2" is the first generation of cars in the VAZ line, which was equipped exclusively with injectors and motors. So, initially a 1.5-liter unit with distributed injection at 77 horse power... Among the pluses this motor reviews note the reliability of the gas distribution mechanism. In the event of a belt break, the pistons did not meet the valves. But this motor also has disadvantages. They concern low power... This is the weakest motor ever installed on a "fourteenth".
A little later (this was 2007), the VAZ-2114 acquired a 1.6-liter 82 horsepower engine. But the eight-valve head was still used here. Therefore, there was no need to think about significant dynamics. However, the consumption was pleasing - for 100 kilometers of the way, the car spent 7.6 liters of gasoline in mixed cycle.
VAZ-2114 16 valves
In 2009, AvtoVAZ added to the line power units for "Samara-2". New motor received a 16-valve head and began to develop 98 horsepower. Remarkably, this engine consumed the least - about seven liters per 100 kilometers. The injection was distributed electronically. Also in this engine, the order of the cylinders has been changed. They now work in a 1-3-4-2 pattern.
Problems
Does Lada have technical problems? Thanks to the installation of inverter injection, the engineers managed to increase the reliability of these power units. But not without a fly in the ointment. Reviews say that over time, the responsible sensors that are responsible for detonation, opening throttle and crankshaft position. Due to a small element, the car may simply not start or will work so intermittently that it is simply impossible to move on it.
Another problem concerns the cooling system. Yes, the unit is not boiling. But the radiator often leaks and the stove jams. The latter blows with cold air, its supply for heating the glass often disappears (because of which the windshield sweats). Often, antifreeze also flows out in the cabin. This also contributes to the fogging of windows. Sometimes the thermostat on the VAZ-2114 jams. Reviews say that with such a malfunction, the car heats up for a very long time, especially in winter. And driving on an unheated engine is fraught with increased wear of its units.
If we talk about the box, on most cars after 40 thousand kilometers, it starts to make noise. Also, over time, it is difficult to turn on the second gear. This box came here from the "nine", so the problems and repair methods are identical here.
About dynamics
If we talk about 1.5 liter versions, they are not designed for racing. The car is very sluggish and weak on gas. Another thing is a 16-valve engine with 98 forces. Many VAZ owners liked this unit so much that it is installed on "nines", "dvenashki" and even on "classics". According to passport data, the car accelerates to a hundred in 11.2 seconds. This is pretty good considering the price and class of the car. Concerning maximum speed, it is limited to 190 kilometers per hour. By the way, the first hundred VAZ-2114 on a 1.5-liter engine is gaining in "eternal" 13.5 seconds. And it's on mechanical box gear.
Chassis
Among the advantages is the suspension. It looks like it was made for driving through our potholes, the reviews say. VAZ-2114 has the same suspension scheme as the "nine". Front - independent MacPherson struts, rear - beam. Often, owners tune the suspension by replacing the springs and shock absorbers. VAZ-2114 sports racks are placed on the front. Reviews say that with them the handling of the car improves. Yes, the car is becoming more agile. But the suspension travel is limited. It literally becomes oak.
Spare parts for chassis are inexpensive, and this is also a plus. But there are also disadvantages. You need to regularly monitor the anthers of the grenade. Otherwise, you can get to replace the CV joint. The slightest water in the anther is death for the hinge. And it costs a lot even by VAZ standards - two thousand rubles (and there are several of them - internal and external).
Brakes - disc in front and drum in the back. The "fourteenth" brakes frankly weakly. Therefore, owners often change the rear drums for discs. This somehow increases the responsiveness of the brakes.
The cost
Now about the most important plus. This is the price. On secondary market VAZ-2114 ten years ago can be bought for 60-130 thousand rubles. VAZ-2114 is one of the cheapest and available cars... It is rather difficult to find a "live" foreign car for that kind of money. And even then its release year will not be later than the 2000s.
Conclusion
As you can see, this car is not without its drawbacks. There are more than enough of them. But, given the cost of spare parts and the maintainability of the machine (it is arranged quite simply, which allows you to do it yourself), it should be considered for purchase.
VAZ cars, 2113, 2114 and 2115 are models that are popular with domestic drivers. This is due to their low cost, maintainability, relative reliability and unpretentiousness. And the practicality of operating the car depends on the volume of the trunk of the VAZ 2114.
Thanks to the volume of the trunk of the VAZ 2113, drivers have the opportunity to transport overall cargo... Its capacity is 330 liters. Specifications the luggage compartment provide the ability to transport items with non-standard dimensions.
The trunk of the 2113 model is transformed: the driver can remove the shelf, fold the rear seats. After that, its capacity is 632 liters. The hatchback allows you to transport small, long loads.
The disadvantages include the lack of standard illumination (when tuning a car, it is mounted independently), a high loading rim, which complicates the placement of goods inside.
VAZ 2114
VAZ 2114 is a reliable five-door car. The capacity is 330 liters with the seats folded down, and 632 liters with the unfolded seats. The loading height of the side has an inconvenient level (similar to that used on the thirteenth model), which significantly complicates the loading process.
The dimensions of the trunk are as follows: length - 830 millimeters with the seats folded down and almost 1660 millimeters when unfolded, width - 935 millimeters, depth - 830 millimeters, height - 780 millimeters. These dimensions are approximate and apply to models 2113 and 2114.
The transformation capabilities allow you to load items whose lengths and dimensions differ from standard dimensions. When installing additional luggage structures on the roof, you can transport a certain amount of bulky cargo.
The capacity, expressed in liters, is identical to the volume in cubic decimeters.
VAZ 2115
The trunk volume of the VAZ 2115 is 427 liters with the seats folded, if they are unfolded, the capacity increases to 700 liters. The luggage compartment has been enlarged so that even bulky goods can be transported on the fifteenth model.
The advantages include ease of disassembly, shelf installation, and convenient loading height. It is located almost at the level of the car bumper.
Drivers often improve sound insulation and luggage compartment trim. Mount electric drive opening the lid, installing the backlight, constructing boxes for storing small items (however, due to their installation, the trunk loses its volume significantly).
Trunk features
To the features of the luggage compartments various modifications models 2113, 2114, 2115 include an acceptable level of capacity and the possibility of transforming the cabin to increase the useful volume.
VAZ 2115 is distinguished by a convenient loading height, a more increased trunk volume of the Lada 2115. The rest of the design of the compartment for carrying cargo is identical to other models.
Cars are equipped with a regular shelf, it is installed vertically and separates the luggage compartment and the salon. If necessary (for example, when transporting bulky goods that require folding the rear seats), this shelf and vertical curtain can be removed.
On Lada 2113, 2114, 2115 cars, there is a niche under the "floor" of the trunk for storing a spare wheel and tools needed to quickly fix minor faults that may arise along the way.
The VAZ 2115 is distinguished by a convenient loading height, a more increased trunk volume of the Lada 2115. Otherwise, its design is identical to other models.
Models VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115, which are a modification of "eights", "nines" and "ninety-ninths", respectively, have become more ergonomic, easy to use, practical. The cars got spacious luggage compartments, thanks to which the amount of cargo transported has increased. The presence of a number of shortcomings does not scare off drivers: some inconveniences can be corrected on their own.
Cars of the VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 family are popular not only in Russia, but also in the CIS countries. This is due to the wide distribution of these cars, their unpretentiousness, relative reliability, maintainability and cost. The machines have an acceptable loading bay capacity, which makes them easy to use for everyday household tasks or small business.
The most important difference between the VAZ-2114 and 2115, noticeable, as they say, with the naked eye, is, of course, the body type - a hatchback and a sedan, respectively.
Earlier in Russia, it was the second option that was most popular. For some reason, cars with a sedan body were considered more solid, apparently due to the fact that the high authorities drove the GAZ-2410 (later - the GAZ-3102). However, after the country was flooded with foreign cars, the attitude towards hatchbacks has changed significantly.
At the same time, it is generally accepted that such cars are chosen by representatives of the younger generation, since they look much more dynamic. By the way, in this particular case it is really so. "Fourteenth" accelerates from zero to hundred in 0.5 seconds faster than "tag", because it is lighter. On the other hand, a person is not able to grasp this difference, therefore, this indicator, in principle, does not play a special role.
When choosing between body types, you should proceed from considerations of practicality. In particular, a much larger cargo can be loaded into the hatchback. In addition, if you remove the rear row of seats, the "fourteenth" turns into almost a full-fledged station wagon. The "fifteenth", for obvious reasons, cannot boast of such spaciousness.
The VAZ-2014 has one more advantage - a shortened rear overhang. Many car owners who have driven both the "fourteenth" and "fifteenth" models, argue that the hatchback is a little more convenient to park in tight spaces. However, this is all only at the level of sensations. According to experienced drivers, the main thing when parking is how a person feels the dimensions of his car, while the body type plays a secondary role.
However, the fifth door is not only an advantage, but also a disadvantage. Often it becomes loose due to driving on not the best roads, especially somewhere in the outback, and gradually this sound begins to annoy the driver more and more. In addition, the hatchback has constant pollution problems. rear window, and the situation is saved only by the "janitor".
The sedan is devoid of such a drawback, since the trunk gets in the way of dust and dirt rising to the glass from the roadbed. Also, over time, the racks that hold back door, respectively, extra spending on their replacement. The most resourceful ones get out of the situation by using a simple method. A hole is drilled in one of the racks (the door must be open in this case), into which a nail is then inserted, if necessary.
