होंडा अमेज [2013-2016] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exterior Great looks. In my view, still remains the best looking sub-4m sedan out there.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Lots of space, both in front and rear...the boot space is also quite good for a decent weeekend travel. Features list is no doubt limited as compared to competition...but its adequate for a normal joe. Nevertheless, Honda definitely should look to improve its equipment and features level.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent with no turbo lag whatsoever. Effortless to drive in city conditions and gives more than decent performance on the highways. Mileage as discussed in many other reviews is great. For driving till speeds of 90-110, it will give a great mileage...only in speeds more than that, the mileage starts to drop swiftly. In city drives, due to high torque and no turbo lag, mileage of more than 20 can be easily achieved.

Ride Quality & Handling Decent, although the suspension could have been a little softer. Handling is good with EPS weighing properly as the speed progresses. 

Final Words Overall experience of the car has been amazing. I have done around 27k Kms with the car now in around 17 months. No major breakdowns, though minor rattles are there, the same have been manageable to a large extent. The car has been used primarily for my daily travel to office (around 70kms to and fro) with occasional highway trips on expressways, NHs, SHs, local roads, no roads, etc.When i purchased the car, the only option in the competition was dzire...which was outrightly rejected due to its design and looks. If given an option now, i would probably have chosen amaze again over  xcent (due to its poor engine (diesel) and driving dynamics) and zest with the infamous TATA after sales service.

No doubt the company needs to improve on its build quality, engine NVH levels, lack of features, but still being the best looker of the segment (IMHO), presence of ABS (from base model), decent driving dynamics (better than xcent for sure), better brakes (as compared to dzire especially and xcent also (suddent bite problem)) and with proven performance and mileage of its engine, amaze remains the best choice in this segment for diesel.  

In petrol, i cant comment much as i have not used it, but without the ABS in its base models, and with the engine similar as the competition, i think xcent provides a better option with more features at lesser price. 

Areas of improvement Engine NVH levels, and also provide more equipments and features which are being offered by competition.

Great engine with good performance and awesome mileage, lots of space, best looks in the segment, etLack of features like ACC, auto lock, etc

Exterior

 Amaze looks wonderful with cuts and curves

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Features are good but there should me airbag in the lower models as well taking into consideration the safety of the people using it. Its very spacious and comfortable for long drive as well. Also HOnda could think of new feature like the car unable to start until and unless the driver puts on the seat belt.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Excellent fuel economy. Believe me when I drove all the way to Nainital from Delhi it gave me a mileage of 27.5 till Rampur which is even more than what has been claimed by the company. A very responsive gearbox whithout any sound but slightly unhappy with the noise of the engine which is even more noisy than verna.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality and handling is excellent. People buying i20 or polo or swift Dzire or Sail or Xcent, please go for Amaze. Its an excellent deal.

Final Words

 Its Just Awesome.

Areas of improvement  

 Sound of the Engine got to be improved.

 

Good fuel economy, excellent pickup and spacious for 5 peopleSound of Diesel Engine

Booked the car before launch, Onwer for last two years, 25000 plus in two years, satisfied with the engine and vehicle performance, enjoyed driving 600 km from dalhousie to delhi in a single day withourt any tiredness.

Only at times fells the intial fater pick up isues otherwise the Honda Engineering is great. At times feels the engine noise but against economy bearable. No maintenance issues, good space, good boot space, an enjoyable daily companion.

At hilly terrain never felt that the car is low floored, was able to monevour even from uneven and broken roads withourt touching the car floor. At low spped sometimes the road feel is there but at high spped there is total comfort.

The head light needs to be brightened as during rainny season I flet a difficulty at night. In two years the only difficulty I have felt is in the locks.  the driver lock is getting a little dizzy and is not as smooth as earlier. The key sometimes does not moves smoothly.

The tyre and the jack nees to be fixed so that in cae the car jumps they do not jump, the inner of the dicky also needs some make over or covering. My view overall is positive for the car.

Smooth crusing on highwayMore gear ratio setting required for faster takeoff

Decent Exteriors , however the front bumpers look very very lower and touching while driving country side roads or through ditches.Exterior

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interior is good enough for any mid size car but not competitive compared to its cost and other cars in similar segment . The HONDA feel is lost especially while handling glove box  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

The greatest disappointment for me since the engine is pathetic for PICK UP especially in city rides where you need to have excellent pull while driving in rush hours.

the mileage is hopeless in city drive . I am getting 12 to 13 KMPH even after two servicings

 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good in manoeuvre especially turning radius . My petrol version is bad in pick up

Final Words

 If you have other option please try OR go for some time tested vehicles like Maruti Dezire. But if you are HONDA fan like me then go for HONDA CITY

Areas of improvement  

 

 

good look, good feel, driving comfort , Excellent manovrePathetic pick up ; Very poor mileage, So-So features

Exterior

Excellent exterior design. Honda has done well in the designing of this car

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interiors are basic and the rear view is very poor while reversing. Reverse sensors are a must and it best to have it as standard OEM from Honda

Bluetooth connectivity is sorely missed

Height adjustable driver seat and tilt steering adjustments are there in this version

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine is very powerful and gives excellent fuel economy

Gear box is smooth

Engine is bit noisy and is clearly audible inside the cabin. (keep the music on to suppress it 😎)

Ride Quality & Handling

Handling and Ride quality is good, except I find the clutch to be on the harder side (I was driving petrol cars before)

Final Words

Bought the car last week and done about 500 Kms so far...

Will append another review after the first service

Areas of improvement

Hard Clutch

Noisy Engine

Basic Interiors

1.Fuel Economy 2. Exteriors 3. Air Conditioning 4. Handling1. Basic Interiors 2. Low Ground Clearance 3. Bad Rear View

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Not upto mark.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good but noisy diesel engine and maintainance is expensive. Spares not available in market and delears demands more money as labour charge and we have to pay more for same type of spares / work as Maruti Brand. Lasting of spare is also same as Maruti. Consumables are also expensive than Maruti.

Ride Quality & Handling Very Good driving experience than Maruti.

Final Words Le sakte hain. maza aayega chalane me but Maintanance me paresaani jhelne ko tyaar rahna hoga. Brake shoe , Air filter, etc consumables k liye v dealer k paas jaana padega or labour charge  double se v jyada dena padega. dealer koi v spare sell nahi kartaa jo spare lekar bahar aap kaam karwa sako. spare open market me nahi milega. fir v lena chaho to Mubaarak. Mai to avi jhelunga hi, chuki gaadi kharid li hai to taarif to karani hi padegi.

Areas of improvement Please supply consumables in open market also. I am living in Bokaro (Jharkhand). min. distance dealer is 55 kms away. If any brakedown arise I am helpless or pay more money to dealer as outstation service charge. etc.

Exterior is good, mileage also good, but acessories like ORVM, Music system etc is very cheap.Rear seat less spacious, Interiors not up to mark. My ORVM glass broken - sunlight heat .

Exterior

 looks are better, 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

enough space is there, looks good

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 gearbox and clutch system are worst people driving in cities will surely have knee pains due to very hard clutch and shoulder problems due to very bad gear box system, 

engine makes lot of noise, it seems like driving old truck.

i have driven swift dzire which is very much comfortable in driving . there is no engine noise, gear box is smooth.

please take test drive of amaze and swift in same day you will feel the difference swift is much smoother car then amaze disel.

Ride Quality & Handling

 due to bad clutch and gearbox people will get tired on long drive.

Final Words

 i would suggest to compare other cars available in the market and then decide , only brand name does not tell it is of good quality, please compare other cars available in market.

Areas of improvement  

 honda has to improve on gearbox and clutch systems in disel cars, 

 

there is enough space inside.clutch and gearbox system is worst,

It's good but it has no any airbags for this variant that's a cons of this car.... But it's still value for money. It'll never disappoint you at every single corner...... I love it......

In this segment i think best car in India at that time. I will drive my friends amaze its really amazing experience. And also review about my friends for the same they advise me to purchase the same.
