Bought this car about 3 months back. Actually almost booked the Baleno but after a test drive of i20 on the same road, my perspective changed entirely and ended up buying i20.
This vehicle is built on european safety standards and hence have an edge over Baleno in safety features, build quality, suspension etc. The pick is bit sluggish since the 1.2 L petrol engine response is little awkward for this 1+ tonne vehicle. This additional weight definitely ends up with less mileage as compared to Baleno but still worth it. The interior feels quite premium as compared to Baleno and the likes, The only car I can compare with i20 is VW Polo but again their is a big price gap with the same features. This is the best car so far in luxury hatchback segments and should go for it.
