This Poll will Roll - NHC vs Aveo vs Fiesta vs Baleno

caroholic1 · 26th March 2006, 12:02

I voted for the Baleno VXI. For me its still the best

kb100 · 26th March 2006, 12:12

Excellent interiors!!... really cossetting... Aveo would be a top 'contendor' ... will form a firm opinion once I have test driven the car..

NHC.... i dont like the way it looks
no OHC Vtec ???.... then its Baleno all the way for me...... more mod friendly, cheaper maintenance.... good performance...

i can see aseem bhai wanting to prove that the baleno is way outdated and the production has to be stopped with immediate effect ..

Interesting poll nonetheless .. Btw as of now its pretty interesting to still see the baleno lead the poll ..

Has any Baleno owner, test driven Aveo 1.4 and 1.6. if yes, please post your comparision....of Baleno v/s Aveo.....w.r.t pickup, suspension quality, handling and cornerning.....and of course the AC......tall gearing?

Kudos to maruti for giving us the ever long lasting Maruti Baleno.

spadival · 26th March 2006, 15:31

Some things will never change

.Baleno leads again. Aveo is a good car, but I feel a tad expensive.

Hells Bells · 27th March 2006, 09:59

Aveo 1.6...simply coz I have given up hope of finding the kind of performance I yearn for in my budget

Very decent interiors (better than Fiesta 1.6, IMHO), decent performance (it is no slouch!). Driven a baleno once but its interiors put me off (despite the much touted performance). And hey, if I am going to plonk my hard earned 700 Gs on table, I expect interiors to go along with it

Voted for the Baleno, after seeing what a stock Baleno(Mclaren's) can do

at the Bangy drive to Krishnagiri yest.

cool_sizzlers · 27th March 2006, 10:52

I will go with Aveo... Excellent Interiors, Exterior and yes it does have good power too ! ! !

On the face of it I think plonking the non VTEC city in this poll is very unfair. In the absence of the same, I would prefer the Baleno.

I agree - one has a right to pay more if one thinks the product is good.
Baleno for me from this list - though NHC VTEC would be the tops.

venkatesh_t3 · 27th March 2006, 17:40

i have voted for aveo better looks compared to fiesta
better interiors than baleno, on the whole a decent package compared to all

hot_rod · 27th March 2006, 18:43
