    I just bought one of these a few weeks ago-only 50k miles! The dual sliding doors are kinda fantastic. And yes this car is fantastically slow!

      I owned one of these (in 4WD) for 10 years ('88-'98). Yeah, they were agonizingly slow but consider the standards of 30-35 years ago. A good friend of mine had an Infiniti QX4 the first year it came out and that was just as sluggish. Anyways, the Stanza wagon had ten very tough years of use with over 100K miles, plus spent time with two new drivers, and never gave a dime's worth of trouble; started first time, every time, even when below zero. The CA20E engine was not too powerful (the later SR20DE would have been a better option), but could run to redline all day and not use a drop of oil. This had the dual spark plug setup which was one of Nissan's better systems back in the 1980s. Even with all this, got a good trade in on a new Pathfinder which was really none faster, even with 168 hp. A quality CUV before the term was even invented.

    It's interesting to see that the market for crossovers in some shape or form has apparently been around for a long time, but it took awhile for car companies to make them actually appealing to the masses. As ugly as this car is, I can see how it helped lead to the crossover boom we're familiar with now. I think the AMC Eagle was also a precursor to today's crossovers. That's pretty cool.

    These weirdly tall wagon things that were around in the 80's and early 90s made a hell of a lot more sense for a small family than today's overpriced SUVs that are hard for kids (and small adults) to get in and out of. Plus cargo lift-over is higher and more awkward.

    Meanwhile my 89 Toyota Corolla SR5 All Trac AWD 5 speed is laughing with a 1.6l 4AFE and 0-60 in 9.4 in open 4x4 mode. And a second fast in "locked" 4x4 mode. Even the 4WD models of the Stanza couldn't compete as they had a locked Subaru inspired 4wd system.
    While the Toyota All Trac system is more like an old Chevy Cheyenne NP203 full time 4WD. That once it senses corning slip, in open mode the center diff slips the front axle off "or rear axle in the All trac system cars" and once you engage center diff lock. Both axles become engaged. So cornering will not become compromised unless you have the center diff in locked position. Which gives the car great performance.

I ended up with it in the mid 90s and lent it to a friend to use for his wedding. Easy to get in and out of the back seat. Honestly I don't really remember any handling issues. Yes, it would flex and the sliding doors would rattle a bit, lol.

I did need to get an new engine at 74,000 miles, I got a used engine from Japan that had only less than 12,000 miles, had a problem getting a timing belt for the engine they are different for the cars from Japan, no body in the states had one!!!

Early adopters, people that buy a Prius at one end of the market or a Tesla at the other or anything in between are to be commended as early adopters who ensure the viability of the tech and that it is matured and deveoped so we have a better experience. Sure I'll always have a spot for a big V8. I own a car with a 5.5 Litre V8 now, but sit back think about an internal combustion engine and all the things that are happening in there - VS an electric motor - realistically from an engineering, performance and potentila perspective and if for anything other than nostalgia and character you favour the fossil fuel engine to be your chapmion of the future I'd love to hear your reasoning

      The Tercel wagon (in 4WD) was definitely more common on the roads in these parts. It had far less interior room however, plus with the 60-something hp 1.5 motor, it was no quicker than the Stanza. Not even sure if the Tercel switched over to FI by then.

    But my favourite was the Stanza Wagon with 4 wheel drive. Very slow, roll happy in turns (as described in the road test), but able to carry a lot of stuff and got 30 mpg highway. A very practical compact wagon that put some midsized American station wagons to shame in its ability to handle some loads.

And dang! $9,949.00 for a car with no automatic or A/C? 22 US grand in today's money. As a rule of thumb A/C used to cost an additional $1,000.00 on any car. Now its standard equipment on anything.

    B-Pillarless MPV with sliding doors! That's a great concept for the elderly, for people with problematic motor skills and for very tight parking spaces. But I don't want to imagine how the chassis would react in a crash, back then... It could become wobbly! The only car with this concept today is the Ford B-Max, but it's Euro-only.
    Actually, I don't think the T-handle parking brake is a design fault in this car. Had Nissan exploited this area correctly, it could leave free space for an armrest and a couple of big cupholders below.
    Also, even more space could be freed up by putting the shift lever on the column, but that would require the gearbox to be an automatic unit.
    Also, Stanza is a nice name! It's Italian for "Room"!

    • @ctranger

      The Stanza was an established model name and they wanted to draw a family lineage to that car, even though the wagon was really its own vehicle. The whole company was just a year or two past using Datsun on their cars - and the successor to this vehicle, which did get its own name - the Axxess - was an even worse seller in the showroom.
