If you want to know which cars were the best rally cars in their era, just look at which cars won all the WRC races. Back in the late 70 and early 80's it was the Fiat Super Brava (it has another name too but I forget what it is) the Ford Escort and in South Africa and Australia, the Datsun Stanza.
I think the Stanza is quite overlooked by most people, I have mintioned before that it was imported to Oz in limited numbers with a 2 litre for holmoglation in rallying. My friend actually owns one that is an ex Nissan chase car. I think it's about the same weight and size as a 1600 only with 2 litre power and some 10 yrs newer. I also know of someome who has rallyed both 1600s and Stanzas and he tells me he has been able to get quicker times with the Stanza than he ever could with the 1600.
