Yes, i agree with you. As a former Sunny owner i think the car is value for money. Specialy the FB15. If you dont have 2.9 for a corolla or 2.6 for Civic or even cant afford 2.3 for a vios (i am talking year ago car prices) the best to go for is a sunny.Ample spares, cheap spares and once again - Great Comfort!!!
Oh yes, forgot that, i am not pleased of fuel economy of the N16 at all. But in terms of the noise please go for a good tuneup plus see if the cleaner is clogged. Other than that its quiet, but i think sunys are chain driven right?
Oh yes, the wing road. Drove one for nearly a year. And i hated wagons untill i saw the wing road and drove it. The car handles very well.
