Baleno can smoke any 1.8 and in it's 1.3/1.6 category; it's quick, steady, and has best brakes as well. None the less it's non ABS. Frankly, I got videos of Baleno tarnishing Grande 1.8, Civic 1.8 MT 2008, and Vitara. Brakes are far better than any vehicle on road. But tip is vehicle should have it's genuine brake booster. Which I'm sure not many Baleno's happen to have these days.
