Nothing has changed in terms of performance when the GO+ is pitted against its family hatch. Although, with the presence of an extended rear body, the overall driving dynamics makes it 21 Kg heavier on the kerb weight than the Go hatchback. With that said, what really makes GO+ standout here is its impressive power to weight ratio because of a potent three cylinder 1.2 litre petrol engine which churns out a decent 68 hp of peak power at 5000 rpm along with a peak torque of 104 Nm at 4000 rpm. The only issue is its high NVH (Noise Volume Harshness) levels on idle which manages to crawl inside the cabin quite easily. But once the GO+ accelerates, everything becomes peaceful on the inside. Equipped with a standard 5 speed manual transmission, the gear ratios are smooth with not much of frequent shifts that would be required during city driving. However, one cannot really command power at any gear, as overtaking maneuver would need quick gear shifts to generate power as high end torque is not really punchy. Planted with Mc Pherson struts at the front and Torsion Beam suspension at the rear, Datsun Go rides on softer suspension setup which makes cruising over potholes and bad sections of the road easy. The GO+ doesn’t really offer the most confidence inspiring ride but with an addition of a speed sensitive electronic power steering, you do feel its need the most when the speedometer races towards three digit speeds.
