I own a Baleno. I am throughly satisfied with the performance of the car. I get 12+ with in B’lor e- never have I checked the mileage during my drive on the highways. I have taken the car on a long drive - simply awesome!
Unlike what other have to say , I have had no issue with the Vibration or the gear Shift. Baleno reaches 100+ @ 2500 RPM. The drive is effortless. While people do complain of the looks - I managed to install TubleLess 14’ alloy Michelin. This ensured its looks - upgraded the seats to Sporty Leather.
I recommend this Car. Please also do visit teamBhp.com - you will get a correct picture of people who are experienced , driven the Car earlier. TeamBhps’ comments are not based on one test drive .
Baleno offers more room , powerfull engine and a good FE.
