Hi guys ,yesterday coincidently i met with one person who has fiitted CNG in his baleno and since i was planning to do the same in Esteem ,i requested him if i could take the test drive of his car . he agreed .
Driving impressions : The pick up was no doubt sluggish and i had to press hard to accelerate .the power was less compared to the other balenos but there was no extra noise, smell or anything that could make me feel i was driving a CNG kitted car . The only downside i found was less power but for city use it was adequate to overtake other cars .
I asked about the FE and all ,he told me he is getting 18-20 in city with ac on . He bought this second hand baleno (7 months ago) from True value maruti dealers with one year warranty and 3 free services and got CNG fitted and the best thing was that the warranty is not void .
Guys, keeping in mind that in delhi CNG costs 18/kg , the cost per km comes out to be less than a rupee .
I was thinking of buying a used esteem but after driving his baleno with CNG ,i feel its the perfect choice for a person looking to fit CNG in the car .
He looked preety happy with his car and that made me think of doing the same .
Guys ,is there any drawback of fitting a CNG in baleno except for the loss in power .
Cheers .
