My sister had a datsun B210, it’s the car in which I learned how to drive a shift. i liked it.

My wife had a chevy chevette. at one point I took it to the shop, complaining that it would lose acceleration up hills. The guy laughed at me — “Chevettes can’t accelerate up hills”.

But it turned out there was a problem with the fuel filter — it really could accelerate up a hill if you knew how to drive and shift.

Same here. I bought a 1978 model in 1984 for $400 and taught myself.

Mine was ok, but it rusted badly after several years and was weak in the clutch, and I knew how to drive a stick before I bought it. It did drive nicely for a few years, though.
