The suspension in the front of the 1000 is dated compared to the 1200. Theres not many new cars today that dont use macpherson strus or pogosticks. Im not saying either that there is anything wrong with wishbone suspension (id happily own one with it especially some old muscle) but the leaf spring setup. It doesn't provide the same handling as pogostick does. Plus in my opinion the 1200 is a far better looking machine.

In case you havent noticed what the name of the site is. datsun"1200".com not datsun1000.com. There may be some others on here but the majority own either b110 or b120.

Dodgeman you are welcome though to the datsun 1200 site. Us 1200 lovers are friendly folk. jokes
