    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers
    This review is especially for the ones who wants to purchase the Standard Variant. Have ridden a few hundred kms, so happy till now, got the standard variant, so not to expect anything great either, but in short, a very good deal. After all it's a car. Dealer Support was a bit edgy as it took a while for the delivery, documentation took over a month which seemed a bit of a disappointment. Never the less, the purchase was good. Got the ABS/EBD variant Look wise: Awesome?????? way better than Maruti Alto 800. Why, let me tell you, more spacious, looks , plus height of the car. When you sit inside a Alto and Redi go, you can feel the difference, it can't be judged from the exterior, it actually has a good space and height as compared to the Alto, this is what I liked the most. Apart from that there is nothing more to be distinguished from as price of both the cars are neck to neck. Although Alto has become a bit more expensive after the upgrade, BSVI, ABS/EBD, Airbags, sleeker look, etc. But ai am overall happy with the Redi Go. Now coming to performance, pick up is very good , so is the gear shift. Remember it's only six months , so I am happy until I get something really bad from the car. Maintenance: No big deal so far as everything seems to be perfect. Has to wait until I see a major or some kind of problem in the car. I have heard that spare parts are normally not available, so that worries me the most. Once it goes to the service station, will have to wait wait for days or even months. The reason why Maruti is the best among the car lovers in India is only because of its Service where we needn't worry about any problems in the car as you can find any service station within few kms. This is not with Nissan or Datsun, although Datsun comes from a reliable name and technologies is Japanese, so it gets a thumbs up here over Alto. You can always rely on Japanese Technology when it comes to automobile. Again the child parts of Maruti is easily available where in Datsun, not possible. Thumbs down here. Engine sound is good, quite contrary to something negative which I heard before purchasing. The engine doesn't produce any big noisy sound which I have been forced to realize when I landed to the competitors of Redi Go. One of the major part is the maintenance, the spare parts are way costlier than Maruti Alto. Dashboard looks cheap, you have to work on it Datsun, Are you hearing? This is where I actually got disappointed a bit. Some sounds does came from the Dashboard when I switched the gears. When I went to show it to the service station guy, he managed to do something and the sound got stopped. He said when I go for the first servicing, he will fix it permanently. This is not something anyone would want from a new car. Pros Design and looks Height and space Pick up (4 out of 5) I could easily get the 100 mark with 5 people inside the cabin including me. Please guys don't ride fast , I just tested on Highway just to see the extent of the car, again that was just for a few minutes, after that I never touched 100. Ride at 50-70, you will feel the charm of this car or even any car. Cons Service Station Availability Service Spare Parts which is costly and non- availability of spare parts. Dashboard need to be worked on. Don't know if I got the one which had some issues with the Dashboard, otherwise, when I went for a test drive, everything was good. Will get back to you guys after one year. Let's see the review stands the same which I have posted now. ??????
