The ones I remember were ugly, gutless and cramped, difficult to see out of, and with braking, steering and handling/roadholding so poor as to be dangerous. Economy and reliability were their only discernable virtues. Oh, and the ride was as uncomfortable as the seats. Has McDatto never seen a BMC 1100, a Renault 12 or for that matter a Mini? Even the Mini was roomier than a 120Y. Your other respondents must be thinking about a different 120Y.

You could fit 4 adults inside and still have a boot (okay okay) small but useful boot. And Datsuns were a know reliable brand. But remember, it was a mums car when people could afford to start buying small second cars for the family.

The Datsun 120Y was one of the most popular selling small cars in Australia in the mid 70's because of its economy. It was very popular with the ladies as it was very easy to park and the steering was very light for a non-powered steering car. The cars origins car from the early Austin cars which had one of the most reliable engines ever made. Do your studies a little better as this car was up there along side the sales of the Toyota Corrola. This car today is still on the roads and used by many young students as a first car.

Translated from Spanish It seems impolite to speak so ill of such a great product, and they have no knowledge of the benefits of such a jewel car, I demand to speak ill retract the famous shark.
