Suzuki offers champagne on a beer budget with new generation Baleno, Celerio models

I BOUGHT one – so need I say more about my week spent test-driving the top of the range Suzuki Baleno?

Being in the market for a mid-level vehicle, I took a look at several cars and soon realised there are not a lot of options under the R300 000 mark. In fact if you buy a top- of-the-range entry level vehicle, you will end up in the mid R200 000s.

With the top-of-the-range Baleno hatchback being less than R300 000 and the entry level in the mid- R200 000s, as far as price was concerned, it was a no-brainer to have it on my shopping list.
