Datsun Redi Go Ownership Experience after 1700 KM in 2020
Last March 18th 2020, I purchased Datsun Redi Go 1 Litre S variant, with Manual transmission
I have already driven Alto, K10, and Swift. My opinion is mostly in comparison with these cars.
Back seat of the car is similar to Alto. Two passengers can sit comfortably. Three passengers can sit little stressfully
Front seat is more comfortable than Alto, K10, and Swift. In Alto, I feel like going down and sit. But in Datsun Redi Go, front seat is taller. I can sit comfortably in a taller stance.
I get mileage around 19 km/ltr. I drive within 2000 RPM. In fifth gear with AC on, car can cruise in 70km/hr at 2000 rpm comfortably. I believe as long as I maintain the speeds below 2000 rpm, I will get good mileage.
Due to lockdown, I did not have the chance to drive long distance, say 400 to 500 km stretch.
I feel, fuel tank capacity should be equal to Alto. I often refill due to smaller fuel tank.
Datsun Redi Go 1 liter S variant has gear shift indicator – Downshift or upshift –this was very useful to me during initial days with the car.
Car has speed alert. If you drive beyond 80 km/hr, you will be alerted. I like this speed alert since I like to drive below or around 80 km/hr speed in highways.
As far as the engine, It is above Alto but below K10. Refinement and peppiness of K10 is missing in Datsun Redi Go. But it is better than Alto in Power and refinement.
In Redi Go, you will not get the feel of Alto. Driving feel of Redi Go is different.
Datsun RediGo – Ownership experience after 5000 kms in 2020
Few long trips (Chennai to Trichy) in this car, completely changed my view about RediGo.
I usually drive around or below 2000 rpm or 70 km/hr speed. So i under estimated the power and pickup of this car. During long trips in highway i went past my sedate speed. I cruised around 90 or 100 km/hr speed with ease and without any vibrations, and the car was stable, all windows closed with AC on. From 2000 to 3000 rpm, acceleration is super. 100 km/hr speed comes at 3000 rpm. During overtakes, acceleration is excellent in this small car segment, mine is 1000cc S variant.
The peppiness, power, pickup are far better than other cars i had driven – Alto 800, Alto K10. RediGo is better.
RediGo may not be sold in numbers when compared to Altos, but it is better than Altos. This is my personal view, experience after driving the car in different speed, went few long trips.
If you want mileage drive below 2000 rpm, if you want fun, performance, peppiness then drives above 2000 rpm. Two in one.
Buying Datsun Redi Go in 2020
Can I buy Datsun Redi Go in 2020? The car never sells in numbers. In roads, I hardly see this car. More Nano runs than Datsun Redi Go. I am afraid anytime this model might be discontinued, due to poor sales. How would be service and support if production stopped for this model?
But, march month offers enticed me. I saw Nissan advertisement in Internet/Google for Datsun cars. Upto 85000 rupees cash benefits and 6.99 rate of interest for loans. I am attracted by the cash benefits and rate of interest for loan.
I submitted the enquiry form in Datsun website. Later sales rep from Datsun called me and speak with me for 10 minutes. He concluded that nearest dealer to my residence, will call me and provide more details.
If car’s final onroad price after discounts come to 3.5 lakhs then I will think of purchasing this car. Will Nissan continue this car for another 5 to 10 years? Will Nissan be in business in India for next 5 to 10 years? We all know Chevrolet story.
I can not predict now, I should not be surprised even if this model car discontinued post march when BS4 vehicles can not be sold any more in India. Right now, the offer is for BS4 vehicle.
There was a great bike called GS150R from Suzuki motor. It was not adorned by Indians. The bike sold in few numbers. Suzuki discontinued this bike. My friend owns this bike even today. He rides it for commuting. For maintaining the bike, he struggle to source spare parts. Authorized service centers of Suzuki abandoned this bike. My friend has to depend on roadside mechanic or private workshop to repair it.
There are cars, which still running even after their manufacturer stopped production. Old alto, Maruthi Ritz, Chevrolet vehicles. Discontinued cars still run on roads and their owners find clever mechanic to maintain, repair it. Chevrolet still support the service and maintenance of their vehicles.
I am taking a risk if I am buying Datsun Redi Go in 2020. The car may be discontinued any time due to lackluster sales.
I have a tight budget, so, I have to take risk. I will be safe if Nissan continued the sales and support of Datsun Redigo for minimum 5 years from now. My car loan EMI will be completed by the time.
Let me hope for the best. Assume, sales, service, support, spares will be available for 5 to 10 years for Datsun Redi Go car. Even production stopped, let me hope Nissan may continue the service support like Chevrolet.
These are my experience, thoughts and review about Datsun Redi Go car. If you like it, feel informative, benefitted, make a fee for my review as much as you can without burdening your pocket deeply. Any amount is appreciated.

I am Gunaseelan Perumal, people call me Guna. I make a living out of programming career in IT industry.
I am a motorcycle enthusiastic. I owned multiple motorcycles with a desire to ride in highway and long distance touring. Without knowledge about bikes, I used commuter and sports bike to tour in highway, but they did not match highway requirement. I tried this and that. Later I gained knowledge about different motorcycles and their purpose made for. Then I bought a touring bike, which is very comfortable, confident inspiring and fatigue free, able to cruise long hours in highway. I tried different bikes, spending money, spending time, spending energy to understand about motorcycles/bikes.
I bought a small, light weight, low powered city car, but drive it mostly in highway. There is a difference between what we need and what we want. Moreover, we have to choose our vehicle based on what is available in the market and what is affordable. The affordable, available do not match with our want. What matches with our want/need is different from what is available, affordable, and popular or highly selling. First we should have clarity on what we need and what we want. Then we have to choose a vehicle which matches with our want/need. This require knowledge and guidance. You need know about vehicle and it’s purpose made for. This is where ownership reviews after certain years of usage, helps you a lot.
A rev friendly, light weight, agile, powerful sports bike is good in city roads and streets. But it will not be a best fit in highway or long distance touring. For highway and long distance touring, a heavy weight bike, with surplus torque will match. But it may not be fit in city roads and streets. I bought a sport bike and worried why it was shaky or wobbling in highway. I bought a heavy weight cruiser and worried why it was not easy to ride it in city roads and streets. Lack of awareness about what we want/need and lack of knowledge about what vehicles matches with our want/need is leading to confusion, frustration, waste of money, waste of time, waste of energy.
Cost of maintenance vary from segment to segment – commuter, premium commuter, sports bike, street fighter, cruiser, super bikes differ in their maintenance cost. Don’t regret at maintenance expense after owning a vehicle either new or used.
Either new or old, purchasing a motorcycle or vehicle is very easy nowadays as you will get loan sanctioned. But the challenge is awaiting at servicing or maintaining it. Authorised Service Centers or Local mechanics…which bike is easy to get serviced will keep you cool. Maintenance and Servicing, spare parts availability will make lot of difference in ownership experience. You may ready to spend, but no guarantee that, your vehicle will be serviced properly. You have to rely on “belief, faith, reputation, luck” in this section.
You can tour on any bike. This is a popular, but wrong statement. This is a false notion and not adhering with safety. You should tour on proper bike made for touring, not any bike.
So I thought ownership reviews dedicated to spread/share knowledge about bikes, cars, bicycles, automobiles, will help the buyers to understand what they want, and what matches their want.
1) What is this site for? This website is to share ownership reviews of automobile industry to help other buyers and owners about the vehicle they plan to purchase or they already own.

3) When may I get paid for my reviews?
It depends. An reader has to read your review, he has to like it and intend to honor it by paying you. It is like giving the book you wrote to read first, once the reader like your book, he may make the payment to you. It is not like selling the book first and reading the book second, it is like read the book first then buy it. It takes time, you need to be patient to get your first payment. It may not happen too. It is all subjective process, not objective process.
4) I do not receive registration confirmation email?
Please, check in your SPAM folder too, in case if you dont receive registration confirmation email in INBOX.
