Baleno Vs Accent

Old vs not so new? Tough question to answer really. Both are equally dated sedans built the traditional way - that means getting in and out is tough and you don't get the raised driving position you get to enjoy in cars such as the Honda City. Between the two go for the Baleno if you are doing lot of inter city driving in your life. Baleno Altura looks unique (I love it) but you may never use the additional space to good use (and it is not a good place to carry children). The Accent is a capable allrounder of a car that starts feeling soggy after say 30,000 km. The engine and gearbox is refined and reliable though. If you are ready to overahaul the suspension as it gets tired - then the Accent makes sense. The Accent GLE is a great VFM proposition too. Both cars return around 10 kpl if you have good driving habits.

The only problem with the Baleno is its resale value isn't it? Altura looks really different, but probably one will have to keep it forever as you can't sell it later at any reasonable price later..

hi bijoy, Why don't you start writing on tyres well. Of course BS Motoring can do that as well. There are new tyre techs now- from tubeless to runflat and so on. Because we ordinary people would like to know what is what and which one can we put in our Marutis at least?
 
hey Bijoy, I'm Abhishek Takle from Mumbai and for me the best job aside from Schumacher's is Jeremy Clarkson's. That's how passionate I am about cars. I'm currently doing my mass media degree and I would like to know what the prospects are in the motor-journalism industry.
 
hi bijoy,


update regularly your blog man
 
hi bejoy.. i'm krishnan. a fellow lawyer [like you, like me.. ditched!], a fellow blogger, a fellow motoring enthusiast and most wierdly a fellow virgoan. a while back i'd written to bsm and yes you did carry my letter in one of those recent editions. better don't confuse, i said that only to help ring some bells in you.

great now that i've spotted your blog finally, after re-reading some of the posts on murali menon's blog. bejoy, i'd like to see a Fiesta V. Verna [both P & D] on your blog soon. i'm delaying my big decisions till i get to hear from you.

you take care.
