Not when they're exposed to Ontario road salt they don't. I remember a friend of my dad's bought a Lada from brand new (I think it was '86 or so) one winter later and the entire front bumper was corroded away from the inside :blink:

you see in Russian they don't put solt on the roads they use send.........cars down there never seen solt on the roads....
they had Lada dealership in Guelph and i think it lasted not ever a year.....those cars do break down.....but alot of people down there still drive them for like 20 or 25 years straight..winter-summer doesn't matter.....we gave away out station wagon to my grandpa and the cars year that it was made is '84 i believe.....i mean its pretty old but still runs good.....you just have to maintain Lada's just like any other car....still crappy though, but these are the cars that most people drive down there....
