No major fault. Only routine maintenance for wear and tear.
Required 3 paint jobs.
Body rusts pretty soon.
Extremely fuel economical and trust worthy vehicle. Been with me for 24 straight years, and still going string. Needed just one engine overhaul in 22 years.
You're one hundred percent right. My father bought the same model when I was like a little baby :) Now I'm a uni student. He got a new car for himself but I didn't let him sell this Datsun 120Y 79 Baby... It's a real economy car and power isn't that bad compared to all the tiny cars being used here in Pakistan... like suzuki and blah blah...
Hurray for the Great DATSUN 120Y
p.s. if anyone wants to share or ask anything regarding this car, esp in pakistan, my email id is a_ahsaan@hotmail.com.
