Yep, a cheapy , look at the emergency hand brake, to bad that they are using the Datsun brand for basic cars.  Back in the day the 510 was a cheapy but had some nice features in comparison with others cars post-36683-0-64991900-1373981068_thumb.jpg   . This GO is just plain transportation  cheap  :icon11:

I don't want to spend $26,000+ for daily transportation. A new car for a REASONABLE (under, WELL under, $10,000) so it can be a cash purchase and insured on PLPD from the get go keeping cost of ownership down... I ran around in 1.3 Renault Clios in the UK while I was there, and it was upmarket... a Basic 1.2 with today's engine technology and an easily accessible engine bay... FINE.

 

Little safety gear? FINE!

 

It's buy that, or buy an old Beetle, or a Geo Metro and drive that till it's time to replace it.

 

I want to tie my payments  and cash up in other things that daily transportation.

If it was available in the US market, I would go buy 2, right now!! Seriously I would trade in my '05 VW Jetta 2.5sc for what I could and cash the rest of the price out.

I am willing to bet that if this car could be sold in the US, it would sell like hot cakes.......

 

I wonder if starting a petition for getting the Datsun GO, with deposits would help????
