Are you the one likes to wear a funky dark red shirt with light trousers/chinos with suspenders and ties... and loafers to go with it? Then the Adventure is for you. On the other hand if you are more mature, sober an executive kindda guy who has a family... goes to the club for some serious weekend discussions, has to attend meetings with the honchos, is expecting the next move to grab his boss's (a VP or a senior manager maybe?!) chair then a sedan like Baleno is what will do better for you over a flashy Adventure.

I know I threw the whole discussion off the kilter... but thats also an angle to look at buddy beyond the technicalities.

Zappo, I started my search for fiat adventure itself !! although I dont have a dark red shirt with suspenders
But only after I couldnt find it, I started looking for other options.
I wanted a car with good performance and comfortable on long drives. So Baleno was my next choice.
The second reason to choose the Baleno was the fact that I plan to keep the car for a long time... !! ( yeah yeah everyone says it )...so hatchback was ruled out...
