Can you please tell me, does your Ixrei also accumulate water in the doorway after rain or washing? This is a problem in my car.
AR: No, this has not been observed. There are only remarks about door seals: the thresholds are wet and dirty in wet weather, and dusty in dry weather.

I would like to know about the air conditioner from Vesta: how it behaves, whether it cools enough in the heat of +30 degrees, whether the engine "saps" in urban conditions and on the highway.
AR: Cools enough. For example, in the heat above +30 degrees, the car stood for more than half an hour in the sun (the outboard temperature sensor showed +51 degrees!), And the air conditioning system coped perfectly.

I am the owner of a Lada Vesta car. When you start the car in the morning and start moving at low speed, you can hear a distinct crackling sound lasting about two seconds. I tried to find the source for a long time and found out that this sound was emitted by the ABS system (when I pulled out the fuse and started driving without it, there was no noise, as soon as I inserted it and drove it - it appeared). Tell me, is there such a sound on "resource" cars?
AR: This is not observed on any of our "resource" Frets.

Does Ixreus have engine knocking when shifting gears? How does the air conditioner work at low speeds (in traffic jams)? Does the car jerk periodically when starting off?
AR: We have no questions about the efficiency of the air conditioning system at low engine speeds. Periodic hustle and bustle of the "robot" - yes, there is such a sin for AMT. The car moves unevenly, which looks like a thrown clutch pedal - but this only applies to a smooth start, with a dynamic one there is no such thing. There is no detonation when changing gears.
Aherenok Viktor Anatolievich
I would like to know: 11300 rubles - is this one pipe of the exhaust system or together with a neutralizer?
AR: The middle part of the exhaust tract (resonator with bellows coupling) cost us this amount. The neutralizer at Vesta is combined with the exhaust manifold.

Thanks for the comprehensive vehicle reports! I would very much like to know, every time in how many thousand kilometers do you need to change the timing belt on the Vesta engine? There is an opinion that on the Priorov's 126th engine, if not replaced after 45 thousand kilometers, this is a disaster. And on new (after 2013) cars of the VAZ family with 16-valve engines, is such a replacement necessary in principle?
AR: The Vesta engine with the index 21129 is a further upgrade of the Priorov engine. The frequency of replacing the updated timing belt (according to the factory instructions) every 180 thousand kilometers.
Alexey Bekleshov
How well does Vesta's air ducts work for the rear passengers? Do the legs of those sitting in the back seats freeze during the cold season? The problem is urgent, since, for example, in Grant, the passengers in the back are freezing.
AR: Vesta really has air ducts for the legs of the rear passengers, brought out under the front seats. There is airflow, and so far it is enough. But whether it will be enough even in severe frost - it is difficult to say yet, winter will show.
Sviridov Konstantin Vladimirovich
Like Andrei Neverov, I do not like the lack of backlighting in Iccrea when the daytime running lights are on. Are there ways to activate the backlight and is AvtoVAZ planning to solve this problem?
AR: The instrument panel illumination mode has recently appeared. We changed the ECU firmware, and now the instrument panel glows constantly, changing only the brightness in the Day-Night modes.
Lyapunov Evgeny Andreevich
Interested in soundproofing in the wheel arches of Vesta. As many write in the reviews, if it rains, then you will instantly have water there (the foam will absorb everything). So I wonder if this case will rot there?
AR:"Felt" wheel arch liners are now used on many foreign cars. They protect the wheel arches from noise and sandblasting. Water penetrates into such wheel arch liners, but rather quickly flows down them and dries up. And due to the fact that the wheel arch liners themselves breathe well, the arches under them are better ventilated and rot less.
In our case, there is not even a hint of corrosion under them.

On the forums, West owners often complain about the creak of the stabilizer bushings and the knock of the stabilizer struts, the knock on the rear struts. How do things stand on the test machines? I would also like to know about glasses - whether they scratch quickly.
AR: From the very beginning, Vesta's suspension was distinguished by its noisy character. But we did not record any knocking of the rear struts or the squeak of the stabilizer bushings.
Turkish glass is really soft: the door windows are scratched from constant lowering, and the windshield has traces of abrasive wear, although Vesta did not go at all in the stream.

In all fairness, XRAY cannot be called a failed car for VAZ. And the 16,000 cars planned for this year will be realized. But, in all honesty, this is not a circulation that you should be proud of.
XRAY was serialized last December. Even then, criticism poured down that the appearance of the car has little in common with the prototype shown earlier. Where is that lightness and swiftness of the image? There is no her. However, against the background of the donor in the person of Renault Sandero Stepway, the domestic crossover looks very much even nothing. He especially suits the color red.
Initially, the interior makes an extremely positive impression. Here is a multi-function steering wheel, comfortable to grip, climate control with display, tasteful seat upholstery. But after sitting down, you understand that Iccrea has room to grow: the chairs borrowed from Sandero are inconvenient (the Vesto “furniture” is much better), there is nowhere to attach a smartphone, and a make-up mirror will not be superfluous to build into both visors.
But visibility is good - you can see everything from the driver's seat. I will only criticize the image from the rear view camera: the monitor glares a lot even in low light. But advanced navigation, which is able to guide along the route, taking into account traffic jams, does not allow abandoning the multimedia system. And it does it sometimes no worse than the popular and free application for smartphones "Yandex.Navigator"!
XRAY became the first car of the brand for which the newest 1.8-liter 16-valve VAZ-21179 is available. It has a solid power (122 hp) and torque (170 Nm). So, I expected a lot from the dynamics of the top version.
But, as the classic said, the hopes of young men are nourished. So mine did not come true. The potential of the motor is ruined by an obstinate automatic transmission (AMT): hesitation, pecking when shifting ... Against the background of smooth and predictable hydromechanical automatic transmissions, the AMT transmission seems like a devil. Even I, a calm driver, now and then became furious with these delays and jerks. And I also didn’t like the fact that the car doesn’t drive after standing and releasing the brake pedal. XRAY will roll only in response to pressing the accelerator. It's wildly uncomfortable in traffic jams!
The smoothness of the ride was also upset. Lada regularly collects all the small things on the road and bounces on irregularities with a larger caliber. But there are no complaints about the energy intensity of the suspension - it does not come to breakdowns. Where the beat is felt is on the steering wheel. You will drive five minutes on the broken asphalt, you will be all exhausted. And it would be alright the reward for this shaking was verified handling - but no. When cornering, XRAY is unsophisticated, reluctantly stands on the arc and does not indulge in informative feedback.
But outside the asphalt XRAY moves quite confidently - good geometric cross-country ability (minimum ground clearance - 195 mm!) And good engine traction at low revs help. By the way, there was also a system of holding on the slope. A test car from the first batch - this means that you cannot turn off ESP - this function was lacking in the mud. However, since this fall, Togliatti residents have made a number of improvements to the Iccrea design, including the ESP deactivation button. Such a prompt response to the wishes of buyers is welcome.
It is clear that any new car, upon entering the market, starts to "delight" from time to time with all sorts of surprises. It is not for nothing that manufacturers modify "raw" cars right in the midst of sales. But the situation is different - the Togliatti auto giant has never been distinguished by high-quality assembly and a long service life of its products, so there is no point in finding fault with them, in general. If not for a loud novelty, but not anyhow, but the first in the history of the domestic brand "crossover" (read - hatchback), which the Volga residents presented so pathetically and beautifully that they didn't want to look at foreign cars. But did he reach their level?
LET'S SCRIPT LITTLE
In order to understand what it is worth preparing for when purchasing XRAY, we talked with the owners of these machines on the profile forum XrayClub.ru. Tellingly, most of the "freeways" are a car, although some operational moments still cause dissatisfaction. For example, "crickets" and extraneous sounds in the cabin: most often worried about the creak in the glove compartment, on the left side of the dashboard and in the area of the driver's door. The reasons lie in the poorly fixed plastic panels. After their strengthening, everything falls into place, and the sounds disappear.
RIDING THE WAVES
Many complaints from the drivers of "Iksreev" arise to the rear pillars. On irregularities in the roadway, the car jumps like a frog - especially the second-row passengers feel very uncomfortable, who risk inadvertently getting rid of recently eaten food and leaving dents in the ceiling. In addition, on transverse asphalt waves, the car has to be constantly steered. A way out of the situation is found by replacing standard gas struts with oil ones.
REQUIRING UPGRADING
No less critical in some cases is the need to add oil to the engine. In some, for 1000 km of run, it eats up almost all the lubricant, others add up after every thousand from 400 to 600 grams of liquid. Moreover, regardless of the engine installed on the car. However, there are those who do not face such a problem at all. Dealers, upon the fact of contact, get off with standard phrases: they say, this is the way it should be, and “maslozhor” is just a consequence of the engine running in.
Howling a wolf
If you are considering the purchase of "Ixreya" with a manual transmission, then get ready for the fact that, among other things, it will remind of itself with an unpleasant howl. This happens when starting from a standstill and at the moment of switching from first gear to second, until the engine speed reaches the two thousandth mark. Apparently, this sore will remain ineradicable for the VAZ residents. And the owners scold the twitching of the gearbox when driving with an unheated engine. True, the owners of cars with a mileage of more than 15,000 km assure that jerks and howls will disappear over time.
WE ARE NOT LITTLE
Among other features of the car, it is worth highlighting the squeak in the steering rack when entering a turn, glare from the front panel on the windshield and too small mud flaps that perform nothing more than a decorative function. In addition, the floor is covered with non-rubberized carpet: rain-snow-mud - and
