I had an 86, bought it used in 87 when I was 20. Between car payment & insurance the car was costing me $850 a month ( a lot back then! ) I used to hate when she’d say “ fuel level is low “ & I’d answer back “ owner is broke “🤣

[@howdytherepardner318]

My mom had one in 86 and she told me a story of a time where her and her friend were out driving real late at night on some backroads and it was saying that. Her and her friend had started calling it "the Cunt"

[@skylinefever]

My mom had a 1985 Nissan Maxima with the robot voice, and she almost always waited for the robot to tell her to refuel.

[@xxmeanyheadxx]

850 a month for car and insurance is a lot now :(

[@pumppupappi]

​@@xxmeanyheadxx agreed. First i tought it was loan for the car. My insurance is under 850 a year! because i dont care.

The ding dong door chime needs to come back.

[@Jac2Mac]

What chime does Nissan use nowadays?

[@NickDalzell]

That was a common Subaru chime. Actual bell. Problem was after some years the second part of the chime broke so all you got was 'ding! clack!'

[@chrismc410]

@@NickDalzell in that era, Nissan owned a large stake of Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru's parent company. Their electronic parts, key blanks, ignition locks, door chimes and other small parts were all Nissan parts

[@foxisretrofitting4556]

You can pull those cute bells out of certain Kias and Hyundais for sure. I grabbed one of them out of a hyundai at a junkyard. I do remember the mid 00's into the 2010's Accent GL Hatchbacks had them.

[@skylinefever]

@@Jac2Mac Most modern Nissans I worked on use 4 loud beeps in succession, like many Hondas do.

In the 1986 Gloria, there was a language selector under the passenger's seat, from English to Japanese to even Arabic! Amazing Nissan era

My dad had a 1984 Maxima with this feature and it was awesome at the time. Like having Knight Rider!

[@skylinefever]

My mom's 1985 Maxima made me feel exactly the same way. I thought "My mom's car has the stuff movie stars have!"

[@vayduong6806]

Those old maximas are great car

[@skylinefever]

@@vayduong6806 The Datsun Maxima was great. The 1985 to 1988 Maxima were very unreliable. Only the engine and robot voice were reliable.

[@CJW921983]

My dad had one too I remember it saying “Key is in the ignition” and “Fuel level is low” It was so cooool

[@exoticcar5482]

That dash looks so dope and retro futuristic because it uses Vacuum Fluorescent displays, a technology we should've appreciated more while it was more widely used. VFDs look so much better than modern LCDs yet most people gave up the their superior contrast and delicate glow for boring full color LCDs since :(

[@20vtechnik]

I had an 84 datsun 300. I had owned it for quite some time. One night as I was driving down a back road, by myself, I hear a woman’s voice (fuel level low I think..) from inside the car. I was instantly startled as I had never heard my vehicle speak before. “Who’s there?!?” Hahaha. It was a good car. Lots of electrical gremlins but a good car.

[@dice138]

I had a '85 Maxima which also had the same voice command. The most helpful command would be "Lights Are On". Prevent you from draining the battary for left the headlights on all night. Coolest feature for cars at the time. I loved it.

[@martyenglishiii5099]

That car was definitely ahead of its time!

[@SuperGeronimo999]

my car is 16 years newer and got none of that, haha... all analog display and only a beep if you keep the key in ingnition and open your door... thats it

[@gibememoni]

What an absolute gem. My 1993 240sx SE hatchback had the same little door chime

[@sam-io5wy]

Yoo that old Nissan ding at the end was straight from the old-school Nissans 👍👍

[@TechNoirJapan]

Cars today barely do this now..! only on navigation there is voice command, but opening doors on a modern car does not alert you, nor does it with a park break.

[@PunzL]

People are complaining about not having a voice alert you for your mistakes but we all know everyone will go apeshit about it if it existed today

[@skylinefever]

Trust me, that stuff can get old quick. It has been said that within months after buying a 1980s Chrysler with robot voice, people were finding ways to disconnect it.

[@SeanFerree]

Even though this looks like my dishwasher, it was still ahead of its time

[@raye1631]

I bought this same 86 in 96 with 132000 miles and a broken odometer. 5 speed turbo, t-tops, and all silver. Got about 2-3 years out of it. Loved that car.

[@fuffoon]

A fellow soldier bought a Nissan in 86. She drove it her entire career.

[@jcy089]

If modern cars operated like this, I'm sure there would be a lot less road accidents. There's so much audio and visual notifications, blinking lights, that the driver's attention is constantly being stimulated. It feels similar to pilots flying an airplane, where you constantly have to check your surroundings and ensure the plane / vehicle is performing normally.

[@Dude_behind_the_Camera_35]

My dad had a 300ZX when I was a kid. It had the digital dash and everything. He had an electrical issue with the dash and was out for almost a year but he continued to drive it the whole time, the trip odometer was analog so he used that to calculate gas mileage

[@MastrOfPupet]

My brother had a 86' Chrysler Laser and the car would talk to you. Scared the crap out of me when it asked me to put my seatbelt on.

[@Slim1423]

I didn't know the Nissan 300ZX was that advanced back then in 1986, with those types of digital readouts on the dashboard. I think some of Nissan's older vehicles may be better than their newer vehicles. I just like older vehicles with less electronics. The 300ZX was a popular car though.

Well they aren't voice commands, they're notifications. Would be possible to have very basic voice commands with 80s tech too but I don't know if it was ever done in a car.
