<p>The ‘GO’ gets going with a three cylinder 1.2 litre petrol unit which manages to deliver a decent 68 hp of peak power at 5000 rpm along with a peak torque of 104 Nm at 4000 rpm. The figures although appear quite nominal on paper, but the power delivery on actual driving condition is quite good and suitable for city driving. Equipped with a standard 5 speed manual transmission, the gear ratios remain on the comfort side with not much of frequent shifts that would be required when driving in the city. However, overtaking maneuver would require a down shift as the high end torque is not really powerful enough to pull the car at lower rpms. Riding on Mc Pherson struts at the front and Torsion Beam suspension at the rear, Datsun Go offers a softer suspension setup that lets it cruise well across potholes and bad sections of the road. But when driving on three digit speeds, the softer suspension doesn’t really offer you the best of confidence. Although, thanks to the speed sensitive electronic power steering on this hatchback, the steering wheel does get an additional weight when driving at higher speeds which helps cornering this hatch better.
