Tell me a
person who is not crazy about cars? I don't know anyone who isn't. My wife a
big car enthusiast though. Not just for riding, for driving, in fact. But
you know, Ferraris and Lamborghinis remain a dream most of the time! My current
car is going good but sometimes I think I settled for less. It’s almost six
years that I am driving my hatch back. But what I want now is something
different, something that will give me power, will look sporty yet I’ll have
room to park it almost anywhere!
I was
going through several sites for checking on the new cars that are getting
launched in India. A lot of them are promising power, some promising good sleek
looks. But it’s important to have all of it together.
The Datsun
redi-Go is looking promising at this moment. It’s an urban cross – a bit of the
both worlds. I like how sporty and wide it looks – almost gives a feeling of
driving a SUV. It looks like it is going to provide a unique combination of
style and comfort with the best of technology for the land of Japan.
I like the
YUKAN DESIGN. It’s smooth and sleek, the dynamic side character lines
gives it just that necessary edge over others in the same class. The best part
though is the GROUND CLEARENCE. If you are driving in India you know how bad
the roads are so good road clearance is what you need in a car. The Safety
features look cool too. A reinforced crash protection shell, which
means the strengthened Datsun body structure, is optimized for Torsional
Rigidity and stiffness and better Frontal Offset Crash performance. The H
shaped Suspension System is also pretty good. It has double
pivot arms to give high stability and cornering performance. A car that looks
good and feels good and you also know at the back of your mind that it is going
to keep you safe.
Feature
wise this car looks power packed. It has the front airbags, power windows,
sporty interiors, good legroom space. I like how the exterior looks – wide and
sturdy – pretty much a man’s car. I think it will be quite spacious for the
family as well.
If I had
the choice I will straight away take it to Mumbai Pune highway and drive for a
few hours. It’s just pathetic to drive in the city these days specially with
all the traffic and the auto rickshaws and bicycles who do not maintain their
lanes nor any traffic rules. And I simply hate the traffic lights. Some
elevated roadways in Bangalore gives you that peace of driving traffic lights
free – but still Mumbai Pune Expressway is a dream to drive on. I should try
and get a test drive at least to see how it feels and performs. That will boost
my deciding factor. I’ll keep you guys posted.
Fun.
Freedom. Confidence. The ultimate Urban Cross - Datsun redi-GO - the capability
of a crossover with the convenience of a hatchback.
