Just like its older brother (Lada 2101 A2), this car is great fun to race with. I am surprised that these two cars were not picked up by several communities to make an entry-level touring car championship, because they are suited for that purpose perfectly. The only thing I'd wish for are functional turn signals.
Looks like the author of the previous review ("no 5th gear") has yet to find out that he only gets 5 gears when selecting one of the optional transmissions (ideally VFTS 1 or VFTS 2) through the setup menu, while the default Lada factory gearbox has only 4 gears. Thus, it works as designed when selecting 5th yields nothing but noise.
I cant make the 5th gear working. Deleted, reinstalled twice, still no power in 5th gear, only highest rev. AI has 5th gear, easily overtake me if I reach 4th gear rev max.
Actually, the car is fun, lovely on tracks, where you dont need 5th gear.
Just tried it on Goodwood doing some practice laps. Great car on a track like this when you get the gears sorted out and put some air in the tyres. (yes Tyres, I am not an American) Loved it.
