The Datsun GO has angular lighting, broad back and a distinctive grille centred with the trusted Datsun badge. You can personalise the Datsun GO to suit your personal style including adding a spoiler, alloy wheels, seat coverings, LED highlights and more with Datsun’s variety of lifestyle accessories available for purchase and fitting on your soon to be desirable Datsun GO.

Driving & Handling

The Datsun GO is surprisingly sprightly for the engine size, due to its light frame and 13-inch wheels. The suspension is fantastic compared to other vehicles in its class that can’t even handle large potholes and the speed-sensitive power steering is responsive when handling on straights and corners.

The Datsun GO is absolutely no-fuss at city speeds and is the ideal size for city parking. It’s entertaining around the bends and extremely fuel efficient for long hauls.

Overall Thoughts

A great entry-level vehicle for the fresh-faced youth looking to become independent without damaging their bank accounts. With backing from a major manufacturer like Nissan, you get alotta car for the price making the Datsun GO hard to stand out from its competitors.

It’s a light and fun vehicle in it’s bracket and well worth the pricetag.
