"This vintage sedan, powered by a 1.6L" Wait. Where is sedan? :) Fantastic car. My family has the same Sunny with 80k kilometers looks like brand new. The car was repainted in the 90s to red pearl and spent the rest of life in garage.
my grandpa in belgium had the fancier Nissan, the Bluebird (in sedan form, but there were also hatchbacks and even a turbo version I think) all of his life he bought Mercedes and the Volvos, but then he bought this one in 1989 and it stayed with him until 2003 when he had to retire from driving, these were really very high quality cars that stood the test of time.
it was funny to see how those nissan looked all alike, like it was very similar to the american sentra of the time, but it was not "the same" like the panels were kind of thicker , still had that same look kind of borrowed from the audi 100
I got 205 kmh out of a 95 year Mazda 323F 1.5.. It literally hit the rev limiter in 5th gear at 6500 rpm.. Best car ever and very reliable.. I would rate them above the Sunny and Corolla.
We had a 323P with the same engine, had 300K+ on the clock when we sold it. Still worked perfectly. However, all those Mazdas were killed by rust issues since then, except maybe the ones not driven in the winter or the ones in southern Europe. Not many new cars have as perfect manual transmissions as those old Mazdas.
@@zsoltpapp3363I currently have a 2010 Mazda3 with 324K klm on the clock! Had to replace the ABS module as they notoriously fail (eventually), and the TCM , which I relocated to prevent it from dying from the heat of the transmission case.
I like it. Some kind of japanese golf back in the day. Simple and functional. Like Dacia nowadays. Yeah , such a paradox, a 4th gear would have made miracle at high speed and fuel economy. Great car anyway❤!
We had the SGX 1.6 Sunny in our country. There was also a 1.3 and a 1.5 LX with less outer trim. Since the early 70's, when they were known as Datsun, the 1200 / Sunny could reach 100mph/160 kmh ! Traditionally, the Sunny/Sentra model was Nissan's best line of cars. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
I drove a 1989 Nissan Sentra E with the same GA16i engine when it was new. 90HP was not a lot, but compared to the 70HP E16 engine 😂 in the 1988 model, it was a significant improvement! On economy cars back then, 3-speed automatics were very common. On manual transmission models, most cars had a 4-speed on the base model and only the mid/upper trim models had 5-speeds.
Was in Germany to get a Nissan 200SX and we did drive there with a 75hp WW Caravan diesel, it got up to 150+ km/h and still accelerating with the RPM going into the red, that car was insane, it just got more and more power the farter into the red you went with the RPM... We did not dare to drive faster then 150+ Km/h as the engine would for sure self disintegrate at some point.

nissan was and are great quality cars....i still drive my bluebird sylphy..its a 2liter sedan with spacious interior and superb comfort ride...service the cvt in time...and the car last u forever,,..15 years and still drives great.
I had a 1991 Hatchback dark blue 1.4 manual...at that time Nissan's were very reliable and robust.. I bought it with 44k miles and sold with 117k with nothing spent but services and usual things like tyres brakes Super cars that gave back really good mpg...
These were great cars in their time... Sadly Nissan used a 3 speed auto box for this car which resulted in the engine having to rev high at motorway speeds :( My old 1985 Austin Maestro Vanden Plas 1.6 auto was pretty similar with the 3 speed VW auto box from the mk2 Golf of that era...

They were all much of a muchness. For most people it came down to personal taste . In South Africa , the Honda Ballade was premium to all these . Then Corolla, Sentra and 323. But you could spend days arguing amongst yourselves as to which is best.
@@monk3yboy69 Greece used to fabricate this very Nissan Sunny back in the 80ies. This version started production in 1987.

Of course back then all Japanese makes used to make (and still do) durable cars.
Lo bueno es que aquí si saben apreciar este tipo NISSAN en México es marca número uno en ventas por lo que hay muchos aficionados a estos autos me incluyo cómo también mucho esstupido que demérita su capacidades, confiabilidad y lo noble que son estos coches por eso los detestan son gente ignorante que no sabe de su gran historia.
190 kph on 3 speed automatic transmission is impressive but do take good care of its engine the car has good power to weight ratio but you are actually maximizing the power band in order to achieve the top speed
The engine was warmed up before I turned it off for about 3-4 minutes, then I started recording. The engine temperature gauge takes some time to reach the correct position, you should check after 30 seconds to 1 minute after start the temperature. That’s why it takes a bit longer to show the right position. However, the temperature never reaches the midpoint of 90°C. it always stays around 70-80°C, even at top speed and full throttle.

Yeah that was GM family II rubbish underpowered engines with timing belt break between 40 and 80k or less causing complete destruction. This is Sunny with real Nippon engine.
I had one in this same spec...driving at 120kph for long periods was headache inducing and it drank fuel like some kind of alcoholic...plus I'm quite tall so I kept hitting my head on the roof when I stopped at traffic lights.
I love feeling of air, visibility in this car.

The fact that this car can go 180km/h is nothing short of a miracle
This is what I call a real car. I miss the 80s.
Super lil' cars these... I had a 1.4 some years ago... This auto needs an overdrive !
don't see this model of Sunny anymore even in Japan...
I can't believe I'm speeding down the Autobahn!
People seeing this car flying by at almost 180km/h not knowing it is in 3rd gear plus almost maxed out rpm 😂
We still have many of these in Africa, very reliable engines on this era of toyotas

I dream of owning a Sunny or a ''V6'' as they are known here. This one looks good. I really like 90's japonese cars.
i have that car with the engine swapped from a police car (nissan sunny) which produces 105 hp and maaaan it is so quick with manual 5MT gearbox
Nice old car ...👍
