Because I could.

At the time I also looked at the new Honda Accord but was still leery of Japanese cars. Guess I made a mistake there.





We had a Datsun 1200 Sedan. It lasted for about 13 years, over 300,000



miles and it had its oil change once or twice. It was tuned up once or



twice just keep filling it with gas and it would go forever.

Forgot that at the time, Consumer Reports was recommending the Aspen/Volarie.

I did get the new fenders for no charge and I had it rustproofed by Bondco but there was a hole in my tailgate before it was two years old.

I kept it for five years and becaused I lived about 18 -20 miles out of town back then, the road salt really did a job on the car. Too bad, I did like that old slant six engine.

According to this, they were Consumer Reports most recalled car in

history. Better do more research to back up your BS, Donnie.

You stupid jackass...I purchased a 1977 model...after Consumer Reports praised the 1st year new Aspen/Volarie models of 1976. All the problems revealed themselves after I bought mine.

This is why most of those ratings from Consumer Reports and JD Power are
useless. I laugh every time I hear a commercial where they tout the
car's high marks from a JD Power Initial Quality report. What they don't
tell you is that this survey was taken within the first 3 months of
ownership. Most people are still in the honeymoon phase of their car
purchase for the first 6 months and they often refuse to criticize their
purchase decision.
