Get up and GO to achieve your goals

RATINGS: SA’S MOST AFFORDABLE CAR

The Kinsey Report gave the Datsun GO the highest rating overall in three categories.

Freedom means nothing without being able to go where you like, when you like and with who you like. It’s what we dream of when we’re young and it’s what we crave more than anything else as we reach adulthood.

At some point, we take a good look at the ridiculously long taxi queue we’re standing in and realise that we need to get up and get moving to achieve our goals. Now more than ever before, young South Africans are making their mark. They’re leading the entrepreneurial space in several sectors from technology to farming and they’re working hard to make their dreams come true.

Buying a car when you’ve just started your first job is something to consider, but be careful. Buying a car is an exciting experience because it allows you to take charge of your life, but there are many costs in addition to your monthly car repayments that you need to be aware of.

Servicing costs, spare parts costs, insurance, fuel and wear-and-tear items such as tires are just a few. You should also research before buying your first car and if you’re doing a good job investigating the many cars out there, you will undoubtedly come across the Datsun GO as it’s perfect for first-time buyers.

In 2017, the annual Kinsey Report found for the third year in a row that the Datsun GO was South Africa’s most affordable car. The Kinsey Report is regarded as the most comprehensive survey of motoring costs and covers vehicles available locally. The report surveyed parts pricing of 69 vehicles across nine segments during July 2017 and highlighted the true cost of vehicle ownership. It has become the benchmark independent parts pricing survey in the South African motoring industry.

Under the category of city cars – entry level cars for first-time buyers – the Datsun GO was named the best overall in the service, repair and crash parts sections. The affordability of parts together with class-leading fuel consumption makes the total cost of ownership of the GO one of the best in South Africa.

The Datsun GO is also a great option for entrepreneurs as it comes with one-year free insurance and a service plan.
