1997 Suzuki Baleno GLX Estate review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The plastic grille was replaced under warranty (chrome peeling), other than that nothing in 2.5 years and 19.000 miles.
General comments?
This is not a fast car and the road holding is only average, although predictable. The brakes are good and it is pleasant to drive, better finished than its rivals and superb value for money.
