Hello. I am Mr.Deshpande from Pune. I owned a Maruti Esteem before I bought a New Baleno Lxi couple of weeks back.
I have been a loyal customer of Maruti Cars. My first car was Omni in 1990 and since then I upgraded myself the top end model of the company.
Let me share with you some good and bad experiences of Maruti Baleno.
When I sold out my esteem vxi, I had a big option in front of me as to which car should I buy now.
Till date, I had only maruti cars under my belt. But today, the things have changed. Lot of international car company have come into the market giving you many good options.
So before I went for Baleno, I had a test drive of Aveo, Honda City and Fiesta.
l these cars are good.No doubt abt that.
But ultimately, I had my eyes on Baleno.
The budget which I had was offering me a car which was highly under estimated. It had a 1600 cc powerful engine with 94 bhp.
During the test drive, it was so easy to manouvere the car that I fell in love with the car.
The space inside was so big that you dont have any problem for 3 full size people to sit comfortably.
Regarding the fuel economy, I have heard that it gives 12 km/ltr in city and 15 on highway.
The only bad thing abt the car is its shape. It does not match todays elegant looks of the other cars.
Baleno has a great powerful AC with a very little noise coming inside...it has 13 noise reduction technology system.
Hence, from my side I will give full marks for the performance of this sedan. And when it comes to Maruti, you be rest assured that the aftersales service is not a problem.
