होंडा अमेज [2013-2016] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exterior The car looks very good from the outside. The two lines on the outside extending to the end looks classy. And also parking this car is not an issue as we do not have a lot of parking space in Kolkata roads.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) There is a lot of space in the inside. Although the plastics, sound system etc could have been been made better. A lot of people had written about the Music System, but it suites my purpose since I do not use it in a loud volume to hear the horns of the cars behind me. There is also a 12v DC socket to charge your phones and other uses. But the wire to hook up the USB pen drive looks a bit odd in the inside near your foot. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Have ridden the car for almost 150 Kms. Bought it on 31/10/2015. Engine pick up is a bit slow initially but once the RPM is pushed to 2000, then the pick up is great and overtaking in city traffic is easy. Not yet tested on the highway as of now. But engine noise as well as AC fan noise is filtering inside the cabin. Have to get it looked at in the first servicing. Fuel economy shows 10 km/l in the meter provided. Too early to comment on the same.

Ride Quality & Handling Since the suspension is new, the potholes are not felt. Lets see how long this comfort lasts.

Final Words For a person like me who commutes may be 50-60 kms per day, it is a good buy. The reason why I bought this car is because I used a Maruti for the last 11 years (4 years in a Zen and 7 years in a Swift). I wanted to change the brand and see and since the Honda showroom is one of the showrooms near to my house, went for the Amaze. Could not afford a City and also it would not have fit in my garage.

Areas of improvement Engine noise, interior plastics.

Space, comfort.Interior

Exterior Better than Maruti DZIRE, Exposed A/C condensor prone to small pebbles from the front, A/C Fan for condensor is too loud.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Seats could be better with adjustible headrests, USB connector is like a wire tail and is embarassing, dashboard is not sturdy and shakes when touched.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Diesel Engine is noisy, coolant fan is loud, The fuel meter on console shows average as 11-12 kmpl.

Ride Quality & Handling GOOD.

Final Words Honda dealers are not able to match delivery promises. When booking, they said delivery will begin in April 2013. Now they say wait till May end. Poor Show. Personally I feel, competititers should throw in some promotions to cash on over this situation of Over Promise-Under deliver.

Areas of improvement Climate Control should be standard. Seats must be improved. Adjustible head rests are missing. Increase wheel size to R15 is a must. Protect the A/C condensor from stray stones. OVRM should be free to move in case of pressure from passing vehicle touching the OVRM case. Delivery period must improve drastically.

Space, Style, Aluminium EngineToo Long Waiting, Less Clearance, Small Tyres, Noisy Engine

Exterior Exterior looks good, curve, s gives sharp looks which is like Verna, so looks modern vehicle. However it do not look aggressive like CITY

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort Features are good as per model you buy; it is compact and not specious for three people at rear sit.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Petrol version will be good bet as Japanese car manufacturers are good in petrol engine technology, and this engine also not looks as smooth as FIAT diesel engine. But Diesel car will be preferred as per low running cost. With 1.5 CC Diesel engine average give 21/23 on highway will be good, and can be confirmed after 1 st service.

Ride Quality & Handling As of now ride quality and handling it seems amazing

Final Words End of the day it will really impact the Swift desire sales unless Maruti Suzuki come with modifications like Swift last year. More options in sub 4 meter deaden. This car can be value for money as it is from HONDA.

Areas of improvement Can be suggest after running 2000 to 3000 KM.

Good look, 1.5 cc Diesel engine! given more features in the segment for same valueNot much spacious

Exterior

 The car looks good from Backside, front looks too short, engine bay is very small compared to other sedans, thats the reason they got so much space in under 4 meter car space. tyres and ground clearance is less,car must have 15 inch tyres now they are 14 ". the door knobs are made of really cheap quality, also the sheet metal used is pathetically thin, cost save measures i guess.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 the dash and the OEM music system is serious outdated doesnot look like you have spent above 7 lacs on this car, i agree the car is very spacious, the leg space is awesome and the boot is huge, but look at the pathetic interior, its not a sedan quality. the seats are so thin, and the parts used are of cheap quality. the sterring is good and with solid grip.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 diesel engine is good with 0 lag, but i doubt the reliability since its new, gearbox is smooth like typical honda. engine NVM is high thats not good, also the engine struggle at high rpm (diesel) not as revv friendly as MJD. excellent for city drive and smooth cruize on highway. lacks the turbo grunt giving a smooth liner push through out the bandwidth. milegage will be 16-18 in city and 17-21 highway depending on driving style.

Ride Quality & Handling

 overall the ride quality is good, the car corners well at highspeed, the backs seats are comfortable but i doubt if they are suitable for long road trips.

Final Words

 i would but it only after a year to see if the honda diesel is performing good on a long run, the maintainance cost plays a very imp role, that would be clear after a year or so. overall the car has inheritied a lot of stuff from its competitors but still lacks a feel od premium sedan.

Areas of improvement  

 please upgrade the dash and music system immediately,

(Honda are you listening )

 Hi everybody!!!

I purchased a new Amaze (Petrol) on date 08.06.2014. The car is nice becoz of HONDA name attached with it and few things that i felt was necessary as a third model 1.2 SMT i-vtech are fog lights, driver side door lock key and flexible head rest, MP3 player not available, automatic door lock in only one key and  very important that they gave me the car in just as available condition just after cleaning and without any decoration and ribbons etc. Everybody at home was so disappointed that i cann't tell. I was felling cheated and really bad from inside.

Moreover story is that when i asked for the decoration and ribbons on the new vehicle then the senior person above executive replied that they don't even do anything like this while it was partiality from their side coz i have seen two cars decorated while i was at showroom for sales enquiry a month ago.

I request everybody to take care of their vehicle by themselves or confirm first before delivery coz after delivery they are not gonna listen a single word from ur side coz the caer has sold to u already now bear with it.

The car is nice with few shortcomings as i felt and if i ignore the behaviour of Honda staff which was careless and rude and also made me waited for more than 2 hrs. for delivery even after prior date n time.

the only thing i like that It is "HONDA"The things it should have is fog lights, driver side door lock key and flexible head rest etc

One year back in the April 2014 I purchased Amaze Diesel top end model with the image of Honda Quality. Till now in one year I had running of 12,000 KM.I shifted from Tata Indica DSL to Amaze. I used Indica for around 9 years and was satisfied with the car and its overall performance. It was really Value for Money.

Exterior Good Looks and design. Rear view and side mirrors are properly placed and covers maximum possible  area. Also electronically mirror adjustment and folding from inside is very comfortable.

Quality of the body metal is very thin and paint quality is poor. I had taffeta white colour car and its paint quality is very poor.

Design/placing of the wheel need to improve. If road is rough, it throws small stones on the external part of the car sides and because of this there are dents on side body the next to rare doors of the car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good space and comfort for driving Quality of material use for interior is average. Size of the glove box is very small.

I am not sure if the placing of steering axel rod is proper, because when we press the clutch, steering axel rod touches to our feet and we can sense its movement. It is definitely not a comfort feeling and has concern about safety, because  it gives uncomfortable feeling of thinking about immediate impact of this rod in case of an accident.

Boot Space is very good among the various options available in this segment. Dicey door is not covered from inside. The space between dicey doors external sheet and inter plates/rods is open and visible. It could create a problem if and part of the luggage or say handle of bat/stick etc. stuck in it then it may get locked from inside or even a small parts of luggage may stuck into it. If it would have covered with a small piece of board sheet, I do not think that, it would have much cost impact.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is little bit noisy,  I was expecting smoothing of its noise after running for 10k kms, but it is not so. If there are limitations in reducing in built noise of the engine, still in the present case it could have suppress to a large extent if it provides a thick and bigger fabric/canvas sheet as inner to bonnet of the engine. The present size of the sheet is very small and also it is very thin.

Gearbox is hard. It is informed that, the gear box is of polymer material and not of the metal. For me it developed a little muscle / ligament pain in the left palm.

Fuel economy claim by the Company is misleading. In the city(70%) and Highway(30%) average fuel economy is around 16.3 km/ltr.  My 9 years old Tata Indica car was giving better fuel economy than this new car.

Ride Quality & Handling It gives amaze pleasure in riding and comfortable in driving. It has very good power, torque and pick-up.

Final Words To carry the banding and image of the Honda, it needs certain improvements. Fuel efficiency claimed by the Company is misleading.

Areas of improvement Fuel efficiency, Paint Quality, Body metal quality/thickness.

Front wheel placing to avoid small stone throw on the side body of the car.

Quality of material used for interior.

Cover /close the dickey door from inside.

About placing of steering axel rod, refer observation above.

Size and thickness of fabric/canvas sheet as inner to bonnet of the engine to suppress the engine noise and quality of insulation used between engine area and cabin of the car.

Good Pick-up & power, Good Space managementLow Fuel efficiency, interior and paint is of average quality, Engine Noise

The design of Honda Amaze at the lower part of Bumper is very poor. Wherever I am seeing the amaze car (including my car) am seeing so many rough scratches on that area. The design at that place is not suitable for indian road conditions.

Next, the shield provided at the lower part of the engine is fixed with body by buttons. Since there is only 5 buttons at the front side, it is very easily removing due to indian road conditions. No other top brand cars are having button like fixtures there. It was unpinned in my car. when i went to honda showroom in tirunelveli, they said to replace the whole engine shield. Its cost is about Rs. 4500. Just for the damage of 4 plastic pins why should we replace the whole shield.

Also, the car body above the rear wheels is easily gets scractes , it can be modified. otherwise the performance is good.

Comfort & Spaceengine shield and bumpers

Exterior

 Good, but thin sheet metal used, especially fender is too thin that even by small press it gets bend. Door handles are hard to open, new person opening door feels doors are locked and requests to unlock.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Good space and comfort but power windows have little uneven surface can be felt by human touch and not by naked eyes, small noise comes from dashboard or air vents.  Seat belt always creates creaky noise when riding on bumpy roads. Loose bolts in the boot space, noise from the small cabin space(where small items / dockets are kept) below dashboard on left. The design is pathetic and on bumps creates noise.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

engine  performance is good, but gearbox is way too bad. 1st and 2nd gear are hard to shift and in cold conditions even gets worse

Mileage: 13.5 kmpl in city, 18 kmpl on highway at approx 80kmph speed (Amaze S petrol)

Ride Quality & Handling

Doesn't feel like riding a sedan car. Honda Amaze is a big disappointment.

Safety

No Safety features like no alarm on door lock / unlock

Final Words

 Honda Amaze has to do a lot in gears transmission, improve quality of parts used. I don't recommend anyone who is particular on minute details of car and more importantly GearBox Transmission of car which I mentioned above

Service

Dealership doesn't accept the problem and always try to convince and the issues are still pending. I reported the gerbox issue and more than 6 months now it is not resolved.

Areas of improvement  

 Gear box Transmission, Improve quality of door handles, fitment of all parts to be proper.

 

Space, exterior styling, silent engineGearBox transmission hard, noise from cabin space, thin sheet metals for body, door handles hard

Worst Car to buy Honda Amaze and worst support from Honda car India for its customers.

Worst brakes with ABS, Need to chnage after every 10K kms brake pds and didcs.

Z-axle spund can come any time from rear.

Honda dealer will charge good amoiunt of around 3K every itme for this sound.

When ask Honda dealer about all problesn they said Honda amaze has problems.

Worst quality given by Honda, Never expected this kind of quality.

My car is now around 45000 Kms and now its like i have to visit dealer everymonth for some problems, specially brakes. Evey month i am going for my brake problem but not getting it correct.

My opinion never buy any car of Honda except Honda city,  they have given worst quality to this brio series speciallyamaze and mobilio.

And most Important Honda Car will never support and help its customers and uts rediculuos.

So my reuqest to all people who all are reading my review, please creare awrness about this vehicle and force Honda car to support current customers.

Like its Sitting and SpaceIts engine and cheap quality parts used in this car. Not Expected from Honda to build this cheap pro
