A horse carriage, it's probably safer than a Go or a Kwid.

I do see a few more of them in the work parking lot, they don't look so bad. Compared to the Go. But yeah 2k a month over 6 years and you still owe R40k+ on it? Where as if you put a 10% deposit down and got the same rate, you'd be paying R200 more a month and there is no balloon payment.

I have noticed that as well, whenever a Datsun GO is stopped in front of me, idling at the traffic lights. It seems there is some sort of harmonic engine vibration that makes the rear silencer & tailpipe look as if it is doing the 'dance of the dervishes'!

:whistle:
 
0 star NCAP test results.
No thanks.

788 Datsun Go and GO+ and 799 Renault Kwid were sold in July 2017.


These two 'junk' models outstripped the total sales of Suzuki, Honda, Tata, Fiat ranges respectively.

Proof that people buy rubbish.
