1998 Suzuki Baleno GL review from Greece
"A nice car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first bought it I had to change the clock in six months time. It was still under guarantee though.
After a month or so I had the brake blocks changed as they were making a terrible noise when I had to brake hard.
After four years and 86750 Km I had the left drive shaft changed and also the weatherstrip) of the rear door (It's a 3-door car). All these cost 730 EURO.
General comments?
Nice to drive.
Very responsive motor.
Very comfortable driver seat and ergonomic interior.
Very good brakes.
