The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is it good, Yes! But not my cup of tea.

Buying experience is quite simple and good. As we all know maruti has widespread showroom network with great staff. The first time driving is bit awkward in my case, I have driven the 2014 Ford Figo earlier so in case of space there is more than ample available. The space at the rear was also great. Coming to the looks, first time it was not exciting but slowly it grows on you or I can say grows on me. The performance is you can say mediocre. The petrol is very smooth, great NVH- sometimes you have to confirm whether the engine is on or not. The interior was great, there are bit of panel gaps and some hard plastics here and there but overall its all nice. Driving I would say wouldn't be a concern, I mean if you want a enthusiastic driving car you can avoid it. The performance from the engine is good but the handling is not upto the mark. The steering doesn't provide ample feel and feedback. The suspension I would say is too soft for my liking. The service and maintenance I would say is good. Maintaining it is cost effective, not a burden on your pocket. Pros- Space, comfort, mileage Cons- handling, performance.
