Compared to most of the vehicles in its class, I would say this was one helluva deal. People talk about the mileage problem. I am sure these people are comparing a Baleno with M800. My car gives me 18kmpl on Hgwy which is more than an Altos does and a decent 10-13 Kmpl in city. I have done a max speed of 170 with 4 passengers and the trunk full of load. Now temme, where do you find a vehicle like this. I have one of the older versions of baleno so it came with 94 bhp. The ones after 05' came with 91 bhp engines.

I would say a Baleno's seats feel amazing. It had a 3 point seat belts which is still considered a feature in many cars. It got height adjustment settings available for the driver. A great road grip and if you wanna give someone a lil scare, it got the power to do it.

Right now, the only disadvantage is its spare parts pricing. It worth more than the car itself which is prompting most of the Baleno owners to sell these beauties off. This was my first car and I am sure it is still an experience driving this car
