I have a Baleno too for the past three years and my experience has been otherwise. sometimes Spares can be an issue but in those case the dealership always gave me a loaner car..so what if it was an alto

.
My Baleno is 2005 June and has done 47K. It is a nice car and rarely gives problems unless you bang it somewhere. To me the driving position is really perfect and the seats, especially the front ones have amazing support..I think it is still a good deal but obviously try to get the price down a bit if you can.
