1979 Datsun Sunny LX 1.4
Summary:
The cheapest car to run, with extreme reliability
Faults:
Changed the engine and gearbox at 388000 km due to lost compression on one cylinder. Had a spare engine, and it was changed very easily.
Ran without any problems thereafter.
General Comments:
Coupe model with a relatively quiet interior and 5-speed box. Two times it went to Sweden, and it enjoyed long trips.
Main problem was corrosion. No other major problems apart from maintenance, brakes, exhaust. Extremely sturdy car, which always starts. Charming with its rear traction, which I loved. Sold to someone who should restore it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
