the boys a genius!!!

yes, actually that is very true, most of that was added up the front to accomodate the l-series they put in em in japan, making them front heavy and prone to understeer

micheal, r u saying i got sumthing right? i beta make my missus read this

Hey-ya for Sammy! I agree wholeheartedly. The B210 (120Y/Bee) is not necessarily a bad little car, but the light, tight chassis of the 1200 is objectively better for perfomance, fuel economy, handling ...

OK, I'll go farther. I drove many B210s, including one back and forth to work for over a year. I dislike every one of them. I do like the B310 (Sunny) though. I also drove a B310 for a year or two (a 2-dr sedan).

The most funny thing is that while the B310 is noticeably bigger (wider, more room under the bonnet, etc), it weighs less than the B210! At least for US models.

[edit] No offense meant to those who prefer B210 styling ... like Jaime . I'd rather have a B210 than most cars of that era. Go Datsun!
