Review written on 8/1964.
The new Ninja looks to put Durack on the map against rivals in the Roadster 2+2 segment. This new Roadster 2+2 has some intriguing features, but is it enough to push the Ninja to the top of your buying list above Ronin? Or is it such a lemon that it should be forgotten much like the 8152 4509? Let's take a look at the details in this month's Vehicle Review!
The day started right when I was picked to drive the Durack Ninja on the track. The Ninja is a is pretty fast for a Roadster 2+2. Its 119 hp @ 2552RPMs 2176 cc Flat4 engine response great and is the perfect size and power for this vehicle. It left a smile on my face when I was able to top it out at 108 mph. And then on the drag strip I was able to crank out a 14.885s 0 to 60 mph. Some may have their doubts, but the Durack Ninja is a fantastic track Roadster 2+2. The Durack Ninja handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Roadster 2+2. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it.
Nothing says 'You've Made It' better than owning the Durack Ninja. 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.
Above average to good is what a friend of mine said when trying to load some junk into the 22 cu-ft of space inside the Durack Ninja. He was right! The Ninja is above average for vehicles in this segment. It is one of the more practical vehicles of this type on the market.
Serious effort goes into every Durack Ninja produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Durack in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.
The Durack Ninja is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.
Are gas prices too high now? What will they be like 10 years from now? What about 50 years from now? Does it matter? If you drive a Durack Ninja it doesn't. The Ninja only uses 36.0 mpg. Which means it rarely needs refuelling and when it does, it's cheap!
The extra effort from Durack to make the Ninja feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.
In the end the Durack Ninja provide decent value for the money. It's not the best car in the Roadster 2+2 segment, but it won't disappoint. You could do a lot worse. If this model appeals to you I see no reason to dissuade you from it.
