Suzuki Esteem / Baleno

Suzuki's courage is respectable. Under so many competition from Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sunny, Honda Civic, Mitsubishi Lancer etc it dare to create Esteem. Remember, Suzuki is just a small manufacturer making only one sedan model besides this car. If you are interesting about Esteem, you may feel disappointed - it is too ordinary, even more ordinary than average. Cheap it may be, but I'd prefer a Korean car.
