1300 Sedan

1300 Sedan
Nothing to add, nothing to take away. I bought the car for 250 PLN with a trunk full of parts. I sold it to a Romanian and it went back to its homeland, with the parts in the trunk because I had them left.
Pros:
Affordable purchase price, Included spare parts
Cons:
Ultimately sold to a foreign buyer
1300 Kombi
The only drawback is the weak sheet metal... ADVANTAGES INCLUDE COMFORTABLE SUSPENSION AND AERODYNAMICS... QUITE MODERN SHAPES AND A VERY DURABLE ENGINE :)
Pros:
Comfortable suspension, Aerodynamics, Modern styling, Very durable engine
Cons:
Weak sheet metal
1300 Sedan: Solid Value
A pretty solid car, though I had mixed feelings when buying it, I'm satisfied now. Very good access to engine components, a very large and spacious trunk. After all, it's a foreign car licensed by Renault, so what could go wrong? Comparing the construction of my 1981 Dacia to, for example, a Polonez, even the newer ones, I still think my car has many construction solutions that beat it.
Pros:
Solid construction, Good engine access, Spacious trunk
Cons:
Initial buying uncertainty

What do you know about Dacias? I had a 1973 Dacia and it never failed me. Your nonsense about them being worse than your Volvo is seriously mistaken. They are better. I currently drive a Renault Clio and have fond memories of my Dacia. So if you don't like Dacias, don't write about them.
Pros:
Reliability (personal experience), Fond memories
Cons:
Perceived inferiority by some
1300 Sedan
First, I converted the sprayers to electric, the wiper arms and blades are from FSO, with a steering wheel switch. After replacing the bushings, you quickly forget about any play in the suspension, steering, etc. The engine bay is spacious with plenty of room for additional accessories. All parts are Italian or French. The plastic cam under the gear lever often needs replacing as it should be made of more durable material. Max speed tested on this year model is 145 km/h, excellent.
Pros:
Electric sprayers, Spacious engine bay, Italian/French parts, Good top speed
Cons:
Plastic cam under gear lever needs durable material
1300 Sedan: A Car with Soul
This car has a soul. It can give immense driving pleasure. Perhaps because I inherited it from my grandfather, I feel a huge sentiment for it. I wouldn't sell it for any money. The car is in constant, intensive use. I'm not afraid to drive it abroad. It's a very interesting car, with many advantages, large, simple in construction, and therefore relatively reliable. I plan to restore it to its original condition soon (it currently has bumpers, taillights, etc. from a newer year). The car requires
Pros:
Immense driving pleasure, Inherited sentimental value, Reliable due to simple construction, Suitable for long-distance travel
Cons:
Requires restoration to original condition
