Handsome and Smart Baleno

Handsome and Smart Baleno

While I was trying to search and buy a premium hatchback, I had front runner options as Maruti Baleno, Honda Jazz and Hyundai i20. I had previously driven Hyundai car for 4 years and the experience was good except for the car was sold for less value. I choose Maruti Baleno for below reasons - Great Look (Design is far better than Honda Jazz) - High Mileage - Feature loaded - Maruti service network and low maintenance cost - Better resale value. Driving Experience: I have been driving Maruti Baleno 1.2 Zeta for 1 year now. The pros and cons after 1 yr drive. - Good Mileage(17 in city) - Too Spacious (Both front and rear like a sedan) - Nice pickup and power delivery - AC is very good - Music system is very good - MID is informative and treat to eyes. - Other features work well - Better Handling - No suspension Issue Cons: - Thin Body - Scratch prone - Poor plastic quality - Maruti service is poor and not so pocket friendly. Final Review - At the given price tag, one cant get a fully featured, premium looking, high mileage with expected high future resale value Baleno is the best buy. Until next 3 years if I have to suggest anyone or buy again a premium hatch then i will definitely buy Baleno for myself.
