Exported as the Datsun B-210 in North America, the third generation (1973–1978) Nissan Sunny was extremely popular because it debuted during the gas crisis of the 1970s. Believe it or not, this low-mileage Japanese import with its 4-speed manual transmission will get 35 – 40 mpg according to the seller. During the 70’s the B-210 continued to be the fuel-economy leader in North America with an EPA rating of 50 mpg for B-210s that had the 5-speed manual transmission and was one of the least expensive cars available of that period
