my friend's old Datsun Skyline when we were in uni...
an auto 3-speed, it was as hilarious as it was old.. you had to
feather the accelerator because sometimes, it'll decide to
stall...
apart from that, it had pretty cool "active suspension" because
if you stepped on the brakes and pushed the accelerator a little
bit, the car would dip like those lowrider cars in the US 
but when it was cruising, it was pretty okay.. pretty stable at
about 120km/h.. but then, it would be... heavy assed 2.4 straight 6
delivered enough torque to tow stuff around...
also, without any power assist, even us guys who were all over
6ft had trouble manhandling the thing... the ladies didn't have a
prayer of driving it properly 
p.s. we changed the suspension once because it was "worn out"
and the new suspension lasted about 2 months.. that's when he
decided to live with the wrecked suspension.. the car wasn't very
comfortable at all
