No other vehicle has had as long a production run, or the popularity in South Africa as the Nissan Sunny truck, or as it was more popularly referred to, the Nissan 1400. In fact, the “Sunny” designation has never been used in the South African market- what was known as Sunny’s elsewhere, were badged as Sentra’s in the SADM. (our mechanic resides in South Africa, and in this case we're thankful! he gives us a thorough opinion on the little truck.)
