For those that have owned one, how do they compare versus a Santana/Samurai/SJ410/413?
I was ideally after a side by side quad (CFMoto ZForce) for some mountain lane fun at weekends but at €10k+ for a toy I am coming around the idea of a cheap 4x4 and the Santana is the obvious choice. However, having seen a few Niva's for sale it could make a decent alternative.

Quite robust little 4x4's and long lived..Over here in Spains Sierra Nevada's a few still can be seen about..faded paint and a few dings but nevertheless running sweetly
You want to see the rust buckets we have here! String holding a bunch of rusty dented panels together! I had a couple of Nivas in the Mid 80's. They were awful to drive on the road (even the 1 that had a Fiat Twincam engine transplant) but they were great offroad. Living very rural and working in groundworks I often got asked to pull other more "prestigious" offroad vehicles out of muddy fields / building sites much to their owners' embarrassment - there aren't many cars you can pressure wash inside either ;-)
