I'd go for the Maruti Baleno coz I own one... 😛Apart from that I guess no other car can match the Baleno... I did abt 155Km/h @ 5500 RPMThe car was like perfectly under control... keeping in mind the company made tires and no Engine Tune-Ups with jus New 13" HR Alloy wheels changed...Well we had a tough competition with the Hyundai Verna but it lost to me in the race... 😛Fiesta well I guess would be like Ford Ikon.... Aveo never rode one yet!!
