Magazine: We’ve introduced the new Sunny 1200 series previously in these pages. This road test focuses on the GL coupe, but we would like to start by asking Nissan’s Takahashi-san about the aims of development for the series as a whole.

Road testing the Nissan Sunny Excellent Coupe 1400GX

Our honest opinion, after testing the 1400GX, is that we find it hard to understand why the big, heavy engine from the Bluebird 1400 had to be installed in the Sunny. Certainly, straight-line performance has improved slightly, but it must also be said that the Sunny’s greatest virtues, its excellent handling and well-judged balance, have been considerably spoiled.
