2022 Maruti Baleno AGS: 7 honest observations by an owner after 2000 km

AGS still fumbles and is slow to respond to acceleration input. There is 0 sense of urgency and all overtaking requires planning and careful 360 observation.

BHPian no_boundaries recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Odo: 1900 km

With 2 long drives completed, one to Mysore and other to Chennai, over last 2 weeks, I got 19.8KMPL to Mysore and 18.7KMPL to Chennai. I diligently maintained 100 - 110KMPH without any aggressive acceleration or drop in gears.

Few observations -

• AGS still fumbles and is slow to respond to acceleration input. There is 0 sense of urgency and all overtaking requires planning and careful 360 observation. The wonderful engine is limited by this gearbox

• The brakes are still not sharp and still has a sponge effect. Need to sort this with the MASS

• During peak summers, the AC work pretty well. I also got sunfilm installed on the front and rear windshield, probably that's adding too

• The suspension is soft and absorbs bad roads very well however this affects the ride stability, especially on curving, winding roads

• The dead pedal placement is not comfortable with any seat adjustment

• Audio clarity has improved and the sound output with apple music on lossless format is amazing

• Irresponsibly missed the 1st service at 1000kms. I will be taking the car in shortly. Its been very hectic and really wish MASS had doorstep service
