New VAZ-2107 - engine of the "Wankel" system

At one time the new VAZ-2107 was considered the most modern of all models ever produced in Togliatti. The exterior design was distinguished by the elegance of the lines, and in the cabin the high, massive backs of the front seats almost rested against the ceiling. The car's exterior produced a favorable impression, but the interior was puzzling. What was the point in the backs of the aircraft-type seats, is still unclear.

Short story

Nevertheless, the "seven" got a start in life, its production began in 1982. With small interruptions, the new VAZ-2107 was produced until the spring of 2012. Currently, the model is collected in Egypt, and it still finds its buyer. The predecessor of the "seven" is a car VAZ-2105, which was produced from 1979 to 2010. The issue of the "five" was terminated due to lack of demand. The VAZ-2107 model remained on the market, but it also gradually lost the buyer due to serious problems in the engine design. The weak point of the motor was the camshaft drive belt.

Belting

The toothed belt did not withstand the load in one of the most stressed engine components. Even the double steel chains in the VAZ-2103 and VAZ-2106 engines could not do this, let alone the rubber belt reinforced with cotton threads. Thus, the design flaws brought the new VAZ-2107 out of the category of high-demand vehicles. However, thanks to its reputation for a beautiful modern car, the "seven" remained in the market and is slowly being sold. The manufacturer honestly tries to improve the characteristics of the car, the car began to install rotary-piston engines of the "Wankel" system, but most buyers do not trust the unusual motor and do not rush to buy a car.

Re-export

With some stretch, the new VAZ-2107 can be called the most comfortable domestic rear-wheel drive sedan. In the sale of a used car helps its re-export status, on all major parts of the "seven" is the "E" sign, which means that the car is included in the number intended for export. The psychology of the modern buyer has not changed since the collapse of the USSR . Many believe in the myth that the goods are sent for export after careful selection and can not have defects or any drawbacks. Thus, re-export "sevens", which are not at all, are bought from hands like VAZ-2107. The price new to such a car varies between 45 and 190 thousand rubles.
