Is the Datsun Go+ a good car? 

It's decent enough, but it has its share of faults which is unfortunately a part of budget buying - "slow and unrefined" are two adjectives used by Martin Pretorius in this article where he compares the Go+ to two other contenders, and yet the Go+ still won!

 

Who is the Datsun Go+ a good car for?

Budget-oriented young families and/or carpoolers who want basic transport from A to B, or anyone looking for a spacious, low-maintenance car.

Is the Datsun Go+ a good first car?

The Go+ has a fair amount of useful and potentially life-saving safety features - read about them here.

The entry-level Mid model doesn't have stability control, but the Lux models are equipped with this all-important feature. Find out if Datsuns truly make good first cars in this article.

 

Is the Datsun Go+ a good family car?

As we've mentioned, it meets the basic safety requirements with an unexpected extra or two, and is aimed towards young families.

Since 2018's update, the Datsun Go+ offers dual front airbags, adding protection for the front passenger.

To assist in slowing the Datsun Go+, ABS brakes now feature as standard equipment throughout the range. Datsun also added stability control to the Lux variants that will assist in mitigating skidding and roll-overs. Furthermore, all but the middle seat of the second row of seats get three-point pre-tensioner seatbelts to keep passengers in place during a collision. 

The Datsun Go+ also offer occupants an air-conditioning system as standard as well as electric windows all around. The driver can adjust their mirrors electrically and once home can lock the vehicle with the standard remote central locking feature. - Ryno Fourie, AutoTrader

Reviewer's opinion

When Datsun South Africa recently launched the Go+, a seven-seater people carrier, they also included an enclosed, delivery-style van. If you're a small business owner looking for a decent daily drive which can double up as a small delivery vehicle, then check out our review of this impressive little van. - Chad Luckhoff, AutoTrader
