Review written on 5/1958.
Several months ago I thought to my self. "Durack should really make a Microcar that is better than the Chipmunk." Someone at Durack must of been reading my mind because I got my hands on the latest A2400 and gave it a test spin. I hope it's not as bad as the K3291 but the real question is: "How far behind does it lag to the Chipmunk?"

Even though the Durack A2400 wasn't designed for it, our first test was the track. Right away we knew this Microcar was an under performer. The 20 hp @ 2368RPMs 703 cc I4 engine was too weak to move us around the track at any decent speed. This lackluster combination could only bring us to a top speed of 60 mph and on the strip do Not Applicable acceleration. With its 36 lb-ft of torque you can tow around 701 lbs but don't expect to get there anytime soon. When we took the Durack A2400 out to the we were amazed at its ability to stick to the track. There was no need to let off the gas even on the tightest of corners. For a Microcar the A2400 is extremely impressive.

Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Durack A2400 and I must say, we were quite impressed. While not the most luxurious vehicle on the market. It is quite comfortable for what it is. There is just enough styling and support to last on long trips and impress friends, while not being overly expensive like hyper luxurious vehicles.

Amazingly spacey the Durack A2400 can bost 19 cu-ft interior and cargo space. This vehicle is massive compared to most. It's one of our top choices when it comes to practicality.

Durack has really put some effort into the production of the A2400. And it shows in the construction quality of the machine. Panel gaps are non-noticeable. Nothing shakes or rattles when driving down the road. It's a well-built vehicle.

I imagine it'll be rare to find a Durack A2400 in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.

The Durack A2400's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The A2400's 24.9 mpg is one of the worst in class. This might not be troublesome when you look at the numbers, but it will be when you actually have to pay for it.

While talking with engineers at Durack we found out that the A2400 was designed to be nuclear bomb proof. While we don't really know if that is bluster, we do sort believe them. Specially when it ran through the concrete brick during crash testing without leaving a dent on the hood.

It is not the greatest Microcar. Heck it's not even an average Microcar. The Durack A2400 is mundane. And you don't want to be mundane do you?
