Thank you for sharing this insight! Appreciate it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😃

Hi there. I’m also considering buying the automatic. Do you mind sharing your fuel consumption?

Thank you so much for your feedback! Much appreciated 😇🙏🏻

Thank you so much for your kind words 🥹😊 I appreciate it so much!

Thank you for your feedback! Cape Town is filled with so many scenic spots all over the place 🥰

And drive a Baleno while you’re visiting! 😋

The Baleno really is such a snazzy little hatch. And that fuel consumption is amazing! Glad to hear you're enjoying your car!

I’m so happy to hear that! Congrats on your new car! 🚗🥳🤗

Yes this colour is the best.

Is silent while driving above 100 speed, thanks

The previous generation didn’t do too bad this side. This current shape is selling like mad though! And it’s not that hard to see why. It’s an awesome product from Suzuki 👏🏻 thanks for watching! 😊

❤️❤️❤️

Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words, David. Really appreciate it. And congrats on your new car!

Thank you! 😊

That’s good to hear! Thank you for sharing 😁

Thanks! Glad you like it 😁

Suzuki is offering really good value for money with their current range, so you’re making a financially wise choice regardless of what model you choose. 😉

@@DeanFriederich apparently dealerships don't have the baleno glx stock, been searching for one since November till to date

@@itaninethononda6683 oh my word! Where are you based, if I may ask?

It’s such great value for money 🤩

It is beautiful indeed

🥰🥰🥰

"dean of the faculty" 😂🤣 Thanks for your feedback!

Agreed!

Agreed. I've opted for the Fronx. I'm getting it in two weeks. I've forgotten about other brands out there because of Suzukis' features and my budget.

I can’t guarantee anything, but I will try 😉

That’s sad. It’s very well specced with lots of safety features here in South Africa 🇿🇦

We have the automatic here in SA as well 🇿🇦😊 thanks for watching! X

This is interesting feedback. I honestly had no issues with the ride quality of this vehicle, but perhaps road surface also had something to do with it. There are some bumpy stretches on my daily commuting route, though, and I thought the Baleno handled them just fine 🤷🏼‍♂️ If the Baleno’s been discontinued in the UK, maybe you can find a good pre-owned model at a dealer to take for a test drive and check it out for yourself. 😊 Also, thanks for watching! 😇

@@DeanFriederich Thanks Dean. Yes there are still a few used Balenos for sale over here.

The older generation had bad ride quality. The current baleno rides so much better. So if u want good ride quality I would suggest that you skip out on the older generation which was sold in the UK. Hi from India

@@mangojuice250 Thanks for that. Actually, although I still think the Baleno a great car, I ended up buying a Honda Insight. Funnily enough that car also had suspension problems with its early models which they upgraded later. It also had a serious call-back problem with later models, but the ones inbetween I think are wonderfull.

Manual in 5th gear at 120 km/h and Auto in 4th sits at the same revs = 3000rpm

Thank you so much for this insight! Appreciate it ✌🏻

@@DeanFriederich my auto sits just under at 2900rpm at 120km. Car is nice and quiet at 100km/which is speed limit in India that's why I think they developed this car that way. Its sitting at about 2500rpm when cruising at 100km and it's best suited for this speed. Around 110km is also little exceptible, however when you at 120km/h that's when the car feels alot busier. Wind noise and car doesn't feel as planted. Around town this car is a doddle to drive if you drive it with a light foot. Personally upgrading to glx wouldn't be worth it if the drive is the same as what I'm getting in the gl. You would just be paying more for tech however the driving experience over 120km/h is somewhat questionable. Cruise at 100km/h and you will be happy. My personal experience is cos I have an Audi A4 to compare with, this opinion is my personal preference and honestly most drivers who buy this car wouldnt even notice this or pay attention to any of the info we just highlighted here. It's your average car buyer and for them this will be just an awesome car. They don't care or even notice those details. The Gl just makes better sense. I'm happy with the purchase as a second car to drive mostly around town and occasionally on highway if need be. Drive the auto gently and its a pleasent driving experience.

How is your car going now

I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to install another sound system. That might have an effect on your warranty though 👀

I don’t know if the manufacturer has any automatic Baleno models available for press coverage at the moment, but I will certainly try to find out 😊 Thanks for watching! 🤩

@@DeanFriederich thank you🙏🏾

I will definitely be looking to get my hands on the new Vitara Brezza when it goes on sale 😎 Thank you for watching!

@@DeanFriederich Thanks a million!

@@sirbastiangezwind3599 😉😉😉

I wouldn’t know. I haven’t seen one yet with that much mileage 🤷🏼‍♂️

You know it 😉

I mentioned build quality in the video. Bruh.

Tell me you don’t like the Baleno without telling me you don’t like the Baleno 🤪

Export version is not fragile like the one made for the Indian market, although they are both made in India.

😜😜😜😜😜

@@DeanFriederich Did you get what I said ?

Yes, I think so. It’s a Hindi phrased used in India to describe a car that someone thinks is a tin can/unsafe. Am I correct? 🤭

@@DeanFriederich 😂Yes right... But I too have this car...zeta model
