I think people from their experiences whether personal, of a friend, relatives have heard more cons of Baleno than pros and I think we cannot blame them as well. Because that's how Baleno's are available in the market. However I do agree mechanics those who are illiterate (apologize for this) have no idea of how to troubleshoot something by themselves unless while they were 6 years old and their ustaad at that time taught them. Wondering how do they learn working on JDM's.
Baleno is on my wish list but I have been finding one for quite some time and till date I can't find one.
Golden rule while buying a Liana: Make sure he has fed his Liana only Petrol and it has been kept with care.
Golden rule while buying a Baleno: Make sure its with one or two (at max) owner and he knows how to take care of his wife.
We are the same awaam who buy CG125 and imagine ourselves John Abraham of Dhoom.
And the same who buy a 1000-1300CC car and imagine we're at the shooting set of F&F.
