1996 Suzuki Baleno GL 1.6 G16 16v

Summary:

Very good from new

Faults:

Water pump at 200000 kilometers

General Comments:

This has been a very dependable car. It is not fast 0 to 100kph in 15 seconds. The car is not quiet. Auto gearbox uses a lot of engine power. A/C is very cold. Tiny 13 inch wheels too small for car. Paint still shines 9 years from new.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
