होंडा अमेज [2013-2016] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

I own this car for past 6 months

I have driven on highways

Hilly areas : (Ooty both routes).

City: and rural areas.

Mine is Honda amaze SX I-DTECH.

PROS: Superb unmatched engine, Loud bcoz of power and torque. Incomparable to any other car in its class!!

100 PS + 200 NM (SAME AS IN CITY AND MOBILIO MIND YOU...+ THIS CAR IS WAY LIGHTER ;)

Easily climbs anything.

Seats are surprisingly comfy when +ING good upholstery.

AC is powerful. doesn't affect Pull of the car with this high power n torque n mileage very less affected.

Highly responsive engine. Clutch balance is so awesome, anyone can drive this car.

Easy to stop and start uphill as well!!

Mileage is superb. City/hills/highway avg 22 without AC/20/with!!

boot space is mind blowing. legroom is also awesome (front and rear). Superb utilization of space. Rear hump in middle minimum: 5 tall people can sit comfy. Superb cornering and turning capability. Mine has ABS/EBD/AIRBAGS x 2/CENTRAL LOCKING.

City's electrically adjustable rear view mirrors with indicators look awesome.

REAR DEFOGGER. both perform well. in Kerala and Ooty.

LOOKS GOOD.

GOOD PLASTIC QUALITY.

STOCK MUSIC SYSTEM COUPLED WITH BASS TUBE WILL BE AWESOME.

BRAKES ARE EXCELLENTE.

VISIBILITY IS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER CABINS.

STEERING MOUNTED MUSIC CONTROLS!!!

Great suspension.

AND NOW THE CONS:

FRONT BUMPER GROUND CLEARANCE SUCKS....(HEAVY DIESEL ENGINE..ACTUALLY LOWER THAN 165 IN FRONT!!!!!.)

STOCK TYRES AND RIMS ARE BULLSHIT (14 INCH+175). FRONT LOOKS TOO SIMILAR TO BRIO. SHOULD GET BETTER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY..

STOCK HEADLIGHTS ARE DULL. PISS POOR COLOR CHOICES BRIO has more colors. NO BLOODY REVERSE SENSORS?? WTF HONDA?

Horn sucks as well.

I HIT A FUCKING DOG (walked away unscathed.)ON THE ROAD SLIGHTLY ONLY AND IT BROKE MY STUPID AC CONDENSER....!!!! COSTS ABOUT 18000. BUT INSURANCE. PHEW!

COMPULSORY MODS

15 INCH ALLOYS.

AT LEAST 195 MM TIRES- NITROGEN

REVERSE SENSORS.

UPHOLSTERY.

LAMINATION (INTERIOR)

Door guard/side guard/ bumper guard. everything protective.

The 15 inch alloys and up-size tires with nitrogen should take care of ground clearance issues.

Already excellent suspension becomes mind blowing, increases wheel track and reduces wobbling and gives better cornering still. nitro ensures mileage is not affected, mod the looks a bit. angel eyes. extra fittings. etc.

Change headlight power cable and level up to stronger lamps, get a better sounding dual horn, interior wooden trims etc. AAAAaaannnddd... you will be all set to go!!

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.

Exterior

Great exterior looks by giving cuts and lines all over the body. Head and tail lights looks great. Ground clearance is also good as compared to CITY and other sedan models of Honda.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Could have given better sound system with phone connectivity and better interior. Its gud that Multiple cup/bottle holders have been provided. Climate control provision should have been provided.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Very good fuel economy (20 KMPL in city and 25 KMPL on highways). However engine power is slightly less. Gearbox is also very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Very smooth to handle. Options like seat height adjustment, stearing height adjustment makes it more comfortable. ABS makes you feel more comfortable especially when you drive on highways.

Final Words

 All in all amaze is amazing as far as looks, fuel economy is concerned. Investing money is Amaze is really worth. Experiencing Honda for the first time but for me it’s better than other Automobile companies of the same class.

Areas of improvement  

Engine noise and power. 

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

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, 

Exterior FANTASTIC LOOK.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) SUPERB LEG ROOM, SEATS AND ARRANGEMENT GIVES YOU UNBELEIVABLE COMFORT, BEIGE LOOK FOR THE SEATS LOOKS VERY OFFICIAL.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 1.5L AT 1750RPM GIVES YOU AWESOME POWER: U WILL FEEL THE TAKEOFF WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE PEDAL AT SECOND GEAR. ery good fuel economy of 23.5 kmpl if no AC and speed is maintained at around 70-80kmpl. WITH AC AN HIGH SPEEDS IT IS OBVIOUS FUEL EFFICIENCY REDUCES I GOT AROUND 17.5KMPL.

Ride Quality & Handling YOU WILL NOT GET TIRED ON LONG DRIVES AND HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEEDS IS VERY SMOOTH. AC IS GOOD: NO PROBLEMS FOR PERSON SEATED IN BACK ROW.

Final Words GO FOR IT. U WILL REALISE MY WORDS.

Areas of improvement GROUND CLEARANCE IS VERY LOW. U WILL HAVE TO DRIVE ON HUMPS IN A SNAILS PACE OR OTHERWISE IT IS GUARANTEED YOU WILL FEEL THE BUMP ON THE HUMP. ENGINE SOUND IS MANAGABLE - U WILL HERE ONLY IF YOU INTENTIONALLY TRY TO HEAR OR IT WILL GO UN-NOTICED.

Exterior Looks sleek from exterior

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very plasticy feel, Not able to keep anything on dashboard or on the space  behind backseat headrest due to the angles. On very high speed, above 100kmph, did not feel safe. Got flat tyre for Michelin tyres first time in high speed. Cant drive without music on as interior noise of engine is high for our diesel version. Leg room is good. Comfort is average.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is good, above average and one of the main pluses. Engine noise is high.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality average. Not upto level for a sedan experience. It is better than many of old cars, but we expected a mini version of City, which it clearly isn't.

Final Words Go for it if you want a cheap car which is fuel efficient. Do not expect Honda City like ride or experience.

Areas of improvement Noise level, Interiors, especially space behind backseats could be utilized to keep atleast tissue paper or umbrella. Right now it is useless.
