2004 Suzuki Baleno Vxi review from India
"Good value for money - nice to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sometimes the power antenna fails to retract all the way.
General comments?
Nice performance overall; neat pickup and good braking, even when driving in Delhi's crazy traffic. Very linear response to the accelerator and has a very large range for the 4th and 5th gears. I can slow down to 30 km/h at 5th and not hear a rattle.
The interiors are pretty sad; looks like they were yanked out of a second-hand dealer shop. A continuous sea of gray.
