1976 Datsun B210 review from North America
"Rude and crude, but it never broke"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, reliable as an anvil, and about as many moving parts.
General comments?
A very simple, easy to work on little car.
Great fuel mileage, but not much power.
Odd looking, with battering-ram bumpers. Strange dash design.
Very uncomfortable seats, on long trips had to get out of the car every half hour due to sore back.
Came with skinny, bias-ply tires. Handled very poorly, always felt like it was ready to slide off the road backwards. Uncomfortable stiff ride.
Back seat totally unusable except by Munchkins.
Hard to see out of dinky rear windows.
