    DRIVING:
    Did a short drive once

    Exterior The exterior is fairly built with a good design. The car seems to be a little bulky, heavy and big as compared with other cars of the same segment but let me tell you actually its not. Low quality material is used to design the body, the exterior as well as the interior of the car. Santro Xing (GLS) is far better then this car. It has got a much better look, design and interior. It can actually be called as something to be bulky and heavy. I would have recommended i10 but what lacks in the i10 is that most of the car is made using fiber (plastic). Also if you have a look at the engine most of the parts in the i10's engine are of plastic whereas they are of heavy quality mettal in the case of Santro Xing.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Now Datsun does not offer you with a great interior. The interior is all made up of very low quality material and gives a very poor look. The company does not give anything in the model that can be termed as FEATURES. Seats are Comfortable & Car gives a spacious look inside. There is good leg room space & you'll feel comfortable even on long drives in the Datsun GO. Now the worst part of the car is Air Conditioner. The AC is absolutely poor & i don't know why the company terms it as an AC when it's poorer then the normal car fan. When the car is in motion the AC might give you a cool breeze if it's in a good mood otherwise what you'll get is hot air out of those AC vents. Now what's the reason behind it? The car lacks an AC fan. I don't know who was the automobile engineer who designed this car who forgot to implant an AC fan in it (PS: Thank God the car has a radiotor fan). Now what it means to drive without an AC fan is that when the car will move the AC might give you some fresh chilled air & when it'll stop in a traffic jam or Red Light what you'll get is just Hot Air & there is a big risk of you dying with suffocation.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Now Engine gives out a fair performance with a Fair Pickup. When you come upon a comparison the Tata Nano might give you a smoother & a comfortable drive. The car gives a good mileage with a smooth gear shift but what it lacks is power & pick up which makes the drive a little annoying & irritating.  

    Ride Quality & Handling Poor ride quality because of fair power & pickup. Handling is good as you get a good grip on the power stearing with a smooth stearing. Tyre size is too small as well as the rim size (13 inches) when you compare it with the body size of the car. It requires atleast 14 inches rim & a tyre with a good profile. 

    Final Words I would not recommend Datsun GO to anyone. Santro Xing (GLS), Ritz (VXI),  i10 Grand, Nissan Micra, Ford Figo, Hyundai EON are far far better options available with you.

    Areas of improvement Manufacturing should be stopped by Datsun & they should come up with a whole new model which should atleast have an AC Fan.

    Space inside the car is Good. The exteriors are fairly built. Seats are Comfortable.Air Conditioner, Interiors, Engine Performance, Small Tyre as well as Rim Size 13', No Good Features
