Test Drive: 1994 Lada Sagona

"Slow by any standards." "The clutch is a horror." "An inordinate amount of body roll." These are just some of the ways Graeme Fletcher described the 1994 Lada Sagona during its appearance on Motoring TV some 21 years ago. "There's an old saying (that) you should never judge a book by its cover," says Graeme. "Well this Lada is a classic example. "Because from afar, things look quite nice. However, closer examination reveals a very different story." From a "laughable" fit and finish to a rear passenger door that was jammed shut, it's safe to say the Sagona wasn't the shining star of Motoring 1994—or any season for that matter.
