Review written on 5/1958.
Competition in the Compact Car segment has just gotten a little more heated. Durack has launched the 7741. Is this Compact Car enough to unseat the Lackawanna or will it be worse than the F5979. Don't worry! We have the answers.

Our first test is always on the track. It is here where we can measure the performance of the Durack 7741 without getting a speeding ticket! And that's good because we would rack up the tickets in this Compact Car. Not for going too fast, but for going too slow! The 7741 is slower than grandma's mobility scooter. You seriously might as well walk. The 25 hp @ 2797RPMs 830 cc I4 engine should be used in a lawn mower. Not in a car. The 7741 lugs it self to a horrible top speed of 45 mph. And strains to hit Not Applicable. With this 39 lb-ft of torque can tow 727 lbs. Once again. Not great, but not bad. It is amazing they even allow this vehicle to drive on the roads. All in all we hate this car performance on the track. When it comes to handling, the Compact Car segment has very few models that are better than the Durack 7741. While it's no race car, this vehicle offers above average cornering abilities that will leave a smile on your face.

Nothing says 'You've Made It' better than owning the Durack 7741. It is a palace on wheels. Comfortable seats, firm leather, and lovely carpeting will make you feel like the King or Queen of the road.

The Durack 7741 gives you a sense of home away from home. With 34 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the 7741 feels like a second living room. Which was what Durack was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Durack thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!

'Spare no expense!' and 'Perfection!' are known to be mottos of Durack. And they show this off in their 7741. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.

The Durack 7741 is a reliable car that we would trust our dear old grandmother with. These things are almost bulletproof.

At this point in testing we would normally take the Durack 7741 out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The 7741's ghastly 19.2 mpg means you'll need to take a few jerry cans, scratch that, a few barrels of fuel just to make it to the grocery store.

You could really tell the engineers at Durack designed the 7741 to save lives. This vehicle not only reduces the risk of being killed in it, but reduces the risk of being killed from it. This vehicle should be looked at as a marvel of preventative engineering.

Would we recommend this vehicle at retail price? No. There are better options in the Compact Car segment than the Durack 7741. It's hard to say what faults are the 7741 but we do know that Durack really needs to improve this product if it wants any sizeable portion of the marketshare. If you can get this vehicle steeply discounted then it might be worth it. Other wise avoid the Durack 7741.
