Maruti Suzuki Baleno User Reviews

1. Worst buying experience. They delayed delivery for 3 weeks even after that while on delivery day, they were missing putting important accessories for which i paid in advance. They made me sitting in lobby for more than 5-6 hrs. to put all accessories. Under body anti rust paint was not done yet they were lying that they have added. Door molding plate was with wrong color. Car was not washed. Overall frustrating buying experience. 2. Driving experience is good. Ride is smooth. Silky smooth Engine is the Key of the Maruti car. Mine is automatic (AMT) and is difficult to overtake cars on tight condition. Need to put on manual drive to overtake. Smooth on small path holes. But since suspension is on lighter side so ground gets hit on speed breakers. Boot space is adequate. Rear row seating is quite comfortable with large leg room. Driving seat is comfortable to seat but not comfortable to drive especially for tall person. Windshield is poorly designed and angled. The angle of glass is such that all reflection of sunlight and ambient light blurs your vision and you hardly able to see front. It worsens if there is dust on windshield. Roof of the car is so thin that when dog goes over on top of roof it sags and create crater. They made bonnet heavy to food customers and make them think that car is stronger that previous Baleno. But they forgot reinforce Hinges of it. Breaks are ergonomically so badly placed that you have to keep your feet in lifted condition which makes it cumbersome in Traffic. On highway you simply keep your feet away from break in resting condition on floor. 3. Looks of the car is very good and its a long wheelbase car. Don't think it's hatch back car means it is a small car. It is small in terms height. Rest all the dimensions are matching sedan or compact SUV cars. Because of large wheel base it is even difficult to turn the car and put inside tight parking compared to SUV. Interior looks good but it should have been in beige color considering extreme sunlight and heat outside in many Indian regions. 4. Servicing people try to loot you for unnecessary charges like coolant, windshield cleaning liquid and battery terminal paint even in first 3 months where there is hardly any wear and tear. Rest depends on your luck if there are many cars waiting in queue then washing quality will also degrade. Pros : Smooth engine and good resale value only. Cons : Rest all cons.
