That Lada Niva is da shiznit.
A friend had one, and he was very happy with it as a daily and an offroad vehicle and he was contend with the fuel consumption.
The he went and bought a defender. What a POS that was. We would go offroading ( not really offroading, you could reach those places with a normal car that you did not really care about that much, and the offroad section was about a dozen minutes at the most). Every other trip he would end up with a repair bill of 500 usd. And the fuel consumption was horrendous. He ended up giving it away.

Nivas are the best at what they do:
Being the car that won't leave you stranded in Siberia a hundred miles from any facilities. That's what they do, that's all they do, and they're good at it.

I must confess I would still consider to choose a Niva as a daily if they were still available brand-new in my country. It's possible to get a grey-import, but not so affordable. |

Makes me wonder how the exhaust flow would actually impact the overall aerodynamics.

I wouldn't really fear that. |

The Eco-Exo R can go 100 MPH and get you 60+ MPG. The Eco-Exo R kit uses a 2003-2006 Suzuki Burgman 400 scooter as the donor to provide the vast majority of parts needed in the build. The kit will set you back $4,699 and a quality donor scooter can be found for $2,000-$3,000.
