"Fun. Freedom. Confidence. The ultimate Urban Cross - Datsun redi-GO - the capability of a crossover with the convenience of a hatchback."
If there's one thing that really liberates you as an explorer, it's the ability to drive and a great set of wheels to take you wherever your heart desires to go. I'm a big fan of compact cars, given that they're easier to maneuver and perfect for solo and couple drives and the redi-GO's unique olive green colour caught my eye immediately. I've always wanted to drive along the Konkan coastline beyond Thane-Karjat on a weekend and I'd love to test the redi-GO's capabilities along this route. I'd probably make pit-stops at picturesque villages and beaches along with my better half and turn into a glorious road trip!

The Yukan design endow the car with a wide, robust stance that is ideal for sports lovers. The daytime running lamps not only look good, they also alert other drivers to your approach. A 799cc engine ensures an excellent fuel economy of 25.17 km/L, which means that the redi-GO won't burn a deep hole in your pocket in the long term. The small turning radius allows you to make a full turn-around with just a 4.7-metre turning radius, which is bound to come in handy in cramped parking spots. Here are the top three reasons why I want to take a spin in this beauty, apart from its sporty and classy good looks.
1. Spacious interiors

Although compact, the redi-GO can comfortably seat a family of five and also leave some space for luggage. The fabric covering the seats is inspired by sports carsand there is a digital tachometer on the dashboard. You can also stay updated with the fuel economy of the car. Good music can make or break a road trip and the makers are probably aware, which is why the car comes with a state of art audio system, equipped to handle radio, CD, MP3, USB and aux-in.
2. Top-notch security features

On India's roads, given the unpredictable behaviour of other drivers and
traffic in congested cities like Mumbai, safety is of paramount
importance. I wouldn't buy a car that didn't come with the right shock
absorbers and Datsun redi-GO is equipped with steering and airbags that
can absorb the impact of force and reduce potential injuries to
occupants. The adaptive electric power steering offers extensive manoeuverability when cruising along at a low speed and enhanced stability at higher speeds. A superior suspension system and wider view of the road and surroundings are some of the other security features in the redi-GO.
3. Easy-to-drive

The car comes equipped with 5-speed manual transmission which means that I'll have smoother control, more precision and gear that responds to my every impulse. The indicator in the Datsun redi-GO displays all the information that I might need to know, such as average mileage, distance to empty and fuel remaining. In this hot weather, the superior air conditioning optimised for Indian climate comes as a blessing. A large 89 CC compressor, aluminum compressor assembly and integrated center AC vent ensure that everyone in the car is sufficiently cool and comfortable throughout the journey.
