I had a Mockwich. It was good mechanically, but used to become rusty after few years. The same with ZAZ 968. Even though its mechanics could be fitted to appear very good, its chassis was rusty (I have used to insert two tail-pipes in it, so it was almost silent and sounded like lada). Generally, Russian cars have bad chassis as they are not protected well against corrosion. Somebody should take care about that.
