2000 Suzuki Baleno GLX review from Australia and New Zealand
"One of the great forgotten cars on our roads"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car... it runs as smoothly as the day we got it...
General comments?
The Suzuki Baleno is a great car and I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the market for a used car.
The car is reliable with relatively cheap service costs and running costs.
The car has all the trimmings including power windows, power mirrors, air con, remote central locking, alloy wheels, power steering, CD player and the list goes on.
The car has a very nippy engine and is perfect for highway cruising.
The cars steering is responsive and is a great drive on mountain roads.
The cars interior is not to everyones liking, in the fact that it is a tad to small for tall people and the Grey plastics are not as good as newer models, but that is to be expected with a 2000 model car.
The car is super reliable and we have never had any troubles with the car...
I would tthoroughly recommend it to anyone.
