Wear and tear only.
No mechanical/electrical failures.
Drives very smoothly - even at 100mph
Never broken down. The Datsun Owners Club (www.datsunworld.com) provide spares at 20% of the retail price! Couldn't fault it all.
I laugh when I'm on the motorway and zooming past at 70mph seeing all those newer cars on the hard shoulder!
Plenty of boot space. Very easy to maintain. Loads of features for a car of it's age (e.g rear ashtray etc). Heater blows out really hot air, on a cold winter morning, you're warm in seconds.
Always starts first time. Never failed to start. I can't fault it on a single thing - it's perfect. Even the garage mechanic at its MOT recommended I kept it as long as possible - he couldn't pick the slightest fault.
I've got an '79 and it's reliability personified. Can rust after a while though.
I got a '79 Sunny B310 and it's the best car I've ever driven!
