Niva = Off Road — So The Niva. One of my favourites. Never drive in city, unless u want to suck in traffic... =) But if u want to drive a cheap off roader, the best choice to learn and more! This car gave me really good experiences on mud, in water, up on a hill, etc. Hard to drive, indeed, but it does everything u want if u keep it in a good mood, pay attention for it! =)

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Pros: off road capabilities (highly recommended from my part), cheap parts

Cons: consumption, city use

Was Contemplating On Purchasing This Vehicle As My Off Road Only Vehicle By Trevor608

Thought that since it was cheap about $ 5k at that time that it would be a good option to have a 2nd vehicle that is brand new to trash around in the desert. I took it for a spin and realised that the... Read More
