BMW 3 Series
Maruti Baleno
- Silly feature omissions: 360° camera, keyless entry, Android Auto - all missing.
- Low seating and tight kneeroom means it’s less than ideal for the chauffeur-driven.
- Most of the 480-litre boot is taken up by the spare wheel.
- AMT is good but not as sophisticated as CVT/DCT
- Seat cushioning is very soft which may cause problems for long drives.
- Boot loading lip is very high
- Not a sporty car to drive
