ROSSLYN, South Africa – Datsun has been helping NetFlorist, South Africa's leading online gift and flower delivery service, spread smiles every day since 2016 with a fleet of 60 vehicles transporting love, happiness and good cheer to thousands of people across the country.

"Partnering with Datsun has been a godsend," said Ryan Bacher, NetFlorist's managing director. "Fuel-efficient, practical, spacious cars at attractive prices – the Datsun GO makes for the perfect, reliable, budget-friendly vehicle."

The total cost of ownership of the Datsun GO is among the best in South Africa. The Datsun GO also comes with one-year insurance and an optional service plan. As a result, Datsun vehicles have proved quite popular with businesses – not only established ones like NetFlorist, but also new businesses and entrepreneurs.

"Datsun is happy to support all types of businesses, from new entrepreneurs just taking their first steps, to more established businesses such as NetFlorist, which require hardworking fleets they can rely on," said Kabelo Rabotho, Nissan South Africa's marketing director. "Whatever the requirement, Datsun is up to the task."

Datsun's vehicles have proven to be quite popular with business owners looking for economical cars they can count on as the servicing costs are exceptional. 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.

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 respectively. 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 1-year insurance and an optional service plan.

"I love that my Datsun GO delivery vehicle is a zippy, little car," said NetFlorist delivery agent Ed Gordon. "I can fit into any parking space, and when I'm on the open road it feels very energetic. People are always so happy to receive flowers and gifts. It's nice to brighten up their day, and it's also nice to drive the Datsun GO because it brightens up my day too."
