      I have been driving my Baleno for 18 months with zero complaints. My odometer now reads 92,000 km—yes, I’ve driven a lot—but the engine’s smoothness remains unchanged with no unusual sounds or problems. Only minor servicing costs, which are normal for any car. I use 5W-30 Castrol and change filters at every service. Servicing costs around ₹3,300 at independent service stations, while Suzuki showrooms charge ₹9,600, so be aware and maintain your car on time. I have no regrets about buying my Baleno.
