I'm so happy the B110 is my choice of Datsun, but I'm ashamed for it's close cousin.

I agree with most of the list except the 120Y ...

Every other car on the list is bagged for reliability, but like they said "it was very reliable, so there are still a few around." ... Enough Said ...

A rehash of this article from ten years ago

http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/Art ... .aspx?ArticleID=1604&vf=1

The fact that it consistantly gets called as the wost car ever makes me love it even more. I hope it stays that way, but I fear the beloved Y will soon go down the murky path of "collectability".

Sure it was underpowered but there are a LOT of other s##tboxes that should have come in well ahead.

Just a few
Honda Scamp - the 600cc motor was an UPGRADE
Original Mazda 121
and anything with LUCAS electrics was behind the eight ball before it got out of the showroom

Just goes to show you most people know next to nothing about cars...there are many cars worse than the 120Y.

Yeah look at the bommodore on the left of pic it hasnt even got wheels and its probably powered by opal engine big car little engine syndrome.

the article says its brakes were useless?

ive got 120y front discs on my 1200 sedan and it stops very well on the street.
surely the 120y isnt that much heavier making the brakes useless?

Maybe I should have let the article writer's drive mine. It might have changed there minds

The guy (Mark Hinchcliffe) who wrote that article is a dick who wouldn't know one end of a car from the other, "Rover 3500 has a massive V8" 3.5 litres how is that massive? blokes an idiot.
