1977 Datsun 100A FII review from UK and Ireland
"The most reliable car ever!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
With the exception of the heater matrix leaking and a door lock mechanism failing I can honestly say nothing has gone wrong with this car and nothing probably will!
One thing sadly, is the rust, I will be restoring the car over the next couple of years though.
General comments?
I would rate this as my favorite car ever, even though it's 24 years old it still has a fuel consumption of 50mpg on a long run (I actually ran it out and drove over 200 miles at just under 60mph to test this and then ran it out again) The seat are quite comfortable and the steering and cornering is great. I have 13" Alloys on it and a 10 CD Multi changer system all I need now is a nice steering wheel and I will have my car finished.
I hate modern cars because they feel so cheap. They are so complex in design that you can't do anything with them and they are full of plastic.
