The Datsun GO+
It’s no use getting the best-priced car in the country, only to be done-in when it comes to service or repairs.
Fortunately, Datsun GO drivers win all the way. At R149,600, the Datsun GO is easily the most affordable car in South Africa. And it comes to the party when you have to service or repair it. Just ask the experts.
According to the industry watchdog 2019 AA Kinsey Report, this great GO-getter is the winner in its class, for the fourth year running.
The Datsun GO has the lowest parts basket – that is the cost of replacing just about everything – in its category. At R63 310 it is about R3 000 less than the runner up.*
Its miserly service parts basket came in at R2 047, 16% better than number two in this category The Datsun’s repair parts basket was a whopping 21% lower than the next best, at R8 846.*
In crash parts, at R52 416*, it was in there with a crowded field of three cars. Crash parts include major items often damaged in an accident, for example, left fender or windscreen.
The Kinsey Report, now in its 29th year, is the authority when it comes to comparing service, spares and repair cost of South African cars according to class. It is now endorsed by the AA as the AA Kinsey Report and this is available on the AA website.
The AA Kinsey report divides cars into classes ranging from Cars & Entry Level (where the Datsun GO is) to Executive Saloons like Mercs and BMWs. It does this by getting written quotes from dealerships in the Durban, Umhlanga and Pinetown area, all within a single calendar month. The list of parts is comprehensive, ranging from the oil filter to clutch plate to front windscreen. If a price looks odd, they go to another dealer to check.
The Datsun GO is available as the Datsun GO Mid, the Datsun GO+ 7-Seater and Datsun GO Panel Van. It has a 1.2L engine, 50kW power and a 5-speed manual transmission. It is the most fun at the lowest price in South Africa.
All new Datsuns now enjoy a six-year / 150 000km warranty, including roadside assistance and 24/7/365 toll-free call centre support.
