On the site "snake" the Russian journalists came a shocking incident. With the passage of the next rotation, suddenly refused to electric power, and the dashboard warning light lit «EPS» (steering failure), while it was impossible to turn the wheel at all. Just cut the engine, and then running, fix this problem.

Engineers VAZ commented, with a sharp turn of the steering wheel and at full throttle - the wheel can really "wedge" in the far left or far right. This problem became known after the pre-production tests.



In the ordinary motorist is likely to extreme driving skills is not, that is, to shift the wheel sharply, moreover, all the way at the open gas, the usual driver will not. Moreover, MDPS mechanism automatically stops at speeds of 60 km / h, so that the problem, according to engineers VAZ not critical.



I must say that our Russian colleagues are somewhat disappointed the new "Kalina". They obviously expected more from AvtoVAZ, especially with the advent of new designer Steve Mattin, a former stylist by Volvo and Mercedes. But Steve had to "Kalina 2" to finish just under the front cover chrome logo.

In general, journalists named the new "Kalina" is not a new generation, a deep restyling of the old model, with a mass of old and new flaws.
