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&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&safe to say the Sagona wasn&the shining star of Motoring 1994—or any season for that matter.
