What all cars can you get in 6.5 to 7L, city, accent, ikon, aveo, fiesta. so why go for baleno?
looks nope this cant be the reason :) baleno’s looks are not so good from behind, front looks are still OK, but from side view it looks veri solid.
features yes a good reason (atleast if you go for VXi) you can a good AC with climate control, adjustable steering and driver seat, adjustable headlamps, electric adjustable side rear view mirrors, power antena, alloy wheels.
ride yea a very good reason :). can you imagine a car moving in 5th gear at 30 kmph ? hehe atleast I cant I have tried many (except scorpio, but thats a different class) this feature makes it perfect for city drive. suspension is OK. pickup is superb even with AC. engine is very powerful and jets beast like rocket. on highways you can drive it veri stable at high speeds (120~150kmph). it can even do more than 170kmph ;) if you want speed then baleno is a definate choise :)
interiors grey/blue fabric and dash board give it a bit dull look :) but it depends person to person(really not matters much) seats are very comfortable, there is space to put ur small things like mobile phone CDs bottle. but it could be further improved. music system is ok, but where is subwofer ?? no fun without it.
economy baleno gives you good value for money. you can get a lot with this 7 L sedan, fuel economy is good, at 13-14kmpl in city and 15-16kmpl on highways with AC.spares are also not much expensive (compared to city accent etc)
reliability its a suzuki kid so no questions on this :) its a reliable car, wont ditch you on long drives. now baleno needs a face lift, a modern look. earlier I had a esteem, used it for 3 yrs. exchanged it for baleno last week :) I decided for another suzuki just becuase performance of my esteem was excellent
