[ahm13]

Those people who are saying old city can smoke baleno this is for them.

The only problem with baleno is that it has the Suzuki badge with it, otherwise it is better in every thing braking, acceleration etc compared to city.

& Liana is better than baleno.

[Retrograde]

sir jee i have seen this video before and the City is 1.3 vs Baleno 1.6 GTI - U should compare City 1.3 with Baleno 1.3

[ahm13]

baleno in this video is 1.3

[ahm13]

rear lights cleary tell its a 2004 or 2005 1.3 jxr,

baleno 1.6 comes with golden suzuki badges and alloy rims.

[Retrograde]

that might be true so baleno is indeed faster - good - can anyone else confirm its a JXR??? - anyway here are the specs of both cars:

Baleno JXR

City1.3 Exi

1.3 idsi city has the most pathetic 1.3 engine in the history of 1.3 engines,liana is far better but Xli would win it

[Retrograde]

fahad: a very ignorant and blunt reply. Having owned an IDSI i know that it is the slowest 1.3 around and if you wanna compare the 1.3 city with other 1.3s, compare with old City 1.3 hyper valve

[ASSHAL]

in my experience city is not a bad car it gives u a very decent drive bt 4 drag wid liana no match nd da old city hyper valve thingy if liana can not beat it den baleno will;)

[yasir_khan]

city idsi gives good average on petrol and is not for racing. However I personally drove it to 175Km/hr with 3 people on board on motorway when we just bought it and then came back on 120km/hr.

I dont know much about Liana as i havent driven it on petrol. on cng it has got the SIS type cng so obviously the results would be better then normal kits.

[Retrograde]

yasir: yes bro city IDSI does not have good initial pickup but it does well when it crosses 80. Having owned one i always found its initial pickup like a diesel car and yes i have also driven it to around 180km/h with 4 people on board AC+CNG
(on motroway of course)

The video posted above shows City 1.3 hyper valve loosing against a Baleno 1.3 JXR which shows that Baleno is faster but i gotta see a few more videos to really get convinced

and look in this video in beginning baleno was behind after that it smoked city.

[ahmadbila]

ok guys,dnt know abt liana but baleno 1.3l can sure give a tough time to city.i hav done it today.had abt 6 races wid my frnd.he has a 02 baleno is excellent condition.on launch,my city took the lead but very little,slowly nd steadily the baleno cought me up but very slowly.that was on petrol.dnt know y,but on cng,there was no comparison of city wid baleno.i left him almost 6 cars distance behind.2 times we races on cng nd both times i won distinctly,4 times i loose on petrol (he also on petrol) but wid little difference.

but that doesnt mean in any sence that baleno is better then city.comfort,luxury looks economy etc is far better on city.u dnt only hav to b faster to b better...but i can bet that 1.3L hyper valve city was messed up or either it was a 1.6 gti...theres no other way that city can loose.

[Inspire]

Guyz! Why r u comparing current model City, the sole reason for this city was fuel efficieny that's why it has iDSI engine... while baleno or liana engine weren't design to give any extra fuel efficiency... If this model would have i-VTEC Engine them i sure it would have more hp then other 1.3cc in Pakistan...!

[Retrograde]

Inspire: bro i tried a zillion times to explain to the members that for God's sake do not compare City IDSI in drags and races as it is not designed for that at all

Also wanna tell you that the upcoming City will have a 1.3 iVTEC - 100BHP engine!!!!!!!

The videos ahm posted are ok but baleno (85bhp) beating an ivtec (140bhp) civic!!! gimme a break, either the civic was on CNG or was auto

[smartracer_225]

city is just a family car, i am a biga fan of HONDA as HONDA cars are made both for luxury and power, but Liana is DOHC, fully electric and has a definete great power, all other suzuli cars are scraps, but NOT liana,

this is not bcoz i own any liana, i own a civic and beaten liana many times, but this is because of performance,

if u had a city and want to go for the race, i will suggest NO, dont even think abt it,

and if u had a liana and want to go for the race, i will suggest YESS go for it and put the city out of road, get a easy win, go ahead, no matter if city is a new one

[smartracer_225]

@ahm13
all it depends wht is under the hood, u knw uptill 1.8 ivtec engine fits to previous shape of city, and if anyone claims to beat ALTIS, no matter he's right, than what abt the FAKE liana

[smartracer_225]

@Retrograde

the civic PROSMATEC is the best shifting gear in cars in our local market, throughout i dont like AUTO transmissions but PROSMATEC sucks,

MANUAL gears are best for racing

[Retrograde]

smart racer: what i meant was that in the videos posted by ahm, we can see a baleno taking the lead against a civic 1.8 ivtec which is not possible unless the civic is auto or baleno is modded.

BTW: i blieve CVT is far advanced and smoother than PROSMATEC because in CVT there is no concept of gear shifting and shift shock

[ahm13]

Ok lets sum it all,City is smooth and reliable and fuel efficient.while Liana comes loaded with more features,more power,great Cng Kit but suzuki quality sucks that might be the case with liana too and resale????
