I have owned a Baleno Altura since 2002, around the time it was released. The car has a flawless suspension and extremely powerful engine.It is perfectly designed and provides astounding level of stability.The vehicle is very silent and the engine sound is as sweet as it gets, I owned a Zen before this but my personal experience with the car is MORE THAN SATISFACTORY. Though the car has gone down on the mileage with time it still serves upto 10/km with an amazing airconditioning.
The extra boot space makes the car very useful for hotel pick ups and grocery excursions, not to mention the family picnics.The fact is the car occupies a lot of parking space, which can be over looked seeing the interior space and comfortable seats.The car is absolutely eligible for highway as well as metropolitan driving.The car loaded with power windows and a power steering(light as a feather) makes it a driver`s paradise.On the whole it`s been the most satisfying and smooth car I have ever owned.A touch of some Autographix and flashy wheel covers, addition of bass tube and amps teamed with a good music system make it DAMN SPORTY!!I would rate the car NUMERO UNO in it`s range of Station Wagons.
