Honda Amaze [2013-2016] User Reviews

Exterior Looks like old 3rd generation honda city. Boot is added nicely to hatchback. From front view looks like B2 class hatchback. From side view & quarter view looks like proper sedan wheelbase is less, so turning is not a problem even in small lanes & conjusted parking. Power exterior mirror folding, first time in class.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Unconvensional dashboard for this class. Seats not comfirtable when comapred to dzire, sail or manza, Cabin has great space.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Even it has 100 BHP, it doesnt rev too much like DDIS engine. So dont expect it to go beyong 160-165 KM/H. Fuel economy is great for disel.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is OK, but having fun like dzire. City dirving is easy. Ride quality is littel bit bumpy on pot holes.

Final Words A great car from Honda which could see more improvement on comfort, interior styling & more features on high end varient. 😊

Areas of improvement Seating comfort, Interior styling, New dashboard, more features like full MID, folding rear seat, automatic climate control, rear fog lamp. Seat belt height adjustment, adjustable head restraints at least on top variant.

Fuel economy, boot space, cabin spaceFeatures, cheap interiors & dashboard, looks is like old honda city

Exterior Appealing exteriors especially Rear.Honda Cars always look best,All colour options not available in Base models i.e. EMT and EXMT.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very similar to Honda Brio., But better than other cars, Space is quite enough for Rear passengers, Good Leg and Knee Room., Comfort is quite OK.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good Pick up. Somewhat engine noise is there but it is acceptable, as Volkswagen Polo and Dzire are more noisy. and after all all diesl engines make noise but issue can be set aside, if  user wants fuel economy. Fuel economy can be judged only after 2-3 service intervals. Gear shifting is much smooth and hence no problem in this respect. Overall Value for money.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is best. Easy maneauverability and Good control on vehicle.

Final Words A very good introduction of Honda in diesel segment. Generates healthy competition among other manufacturers. A true Hindi saying " Der Aaye  Durust Aaye"

Areas of improvement Ground Clearance must be increased upto 170mm atleast, Dual Horn must be given in Base Models also. AC Fan noise must be reduced, All Colour Options must be made available in Base Models.

Excellent Front and Rear design,especially Rear .,Very Smartly Priced,Geneartes HealthyCompetitionAll Colours Options not available in EMT,EXMT(Last 2 Base models),Waiting Period too long.

Exterior is truly amazing.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Front cabin should be changed.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox With 5km drive so far..its good.

Ride Quality & Handling Riding was good but with front seat non-detachable..it was uneasy..it will effect long drives.

Final Words I already booked it, but still not sure of taking it due to no side mirror indicator. Even small cars have this option now, but going for SMT without this is something considerable.

Areas of improvement Mainly side mirror indicators for SMT. VXMT already have this option, but it is recommended for SMT aswell.also front seat should be detachable. My old small car have these options. Exteriors do make lot of changes. not bad.

Exterior and honda brandFront cabin and side indicator mirrors

Exterior Compartively  good in its segment especially as compare to dezire. Amaze doesn't look trimmed from back or stretched from brio.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space and Comfort is more than acceptable, with loaded features even in its base model makes it outstanding from its rivals.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Aluminium engine is a little noisy however you won't feel it in cabin while running with AC on. Currelty giving me 22 Kmpl in diesel at a lower running of 750 km in 21 days. Expecting it to cross 24 kmpl atleast after 01st service.. Gearbox is also quite smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Superior on road grip and best in class handling. you won't feel anytime that you are lossing your horse.

Final Words Go for it. Honda have always brought goods when it meets quality. Not a product comes out of rat race.

Areas of improvement Noise of engine can be brought down. Mud Guards, wheels covers should come in all segment.

Comfortable sitting, fuel economical, honda's always quality assurance, superb grip on the road,Engine a little noisy but it is acceptable in aluminium engine, No noise in cabin when windows close

Exterior Excellent styling

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dash board is not so appealing and seperate head rests would have been better, Legroom is too good for this model as you can stretch full legs at the rear seats. Door handle bars hard to open and rear boot lid is little hard to lock..needs little more pressure.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gear Fuel economy seems to be good. giving 20km/l now. we will see in long run how much it gives. Turbo is very good in 2nd and 3rd gear, no need to press accelerater..it will drive itself. Gear box is very soft and gear shifting is perfect

Ride Quality & Handling Ride and handling quality is excellent. ABS is good. Engine is little noisy as compared to Swift dzire.

Final Words Very good car at reasonable price.

Areas of improvement Horn sounds like scooter horn, head rest could have been made seperate, door handle bars hard to open..Honda should have launched Automatic verison in Diesel also. I was waiting for that, but anyway manual is also good.

exterior design specially rear, spacious with huge legroom at rear seatHorn sounds like scooter, door handle bars hard to open, rear boot lid closes with more pressing,

Exterior The exterior design is too good and stylish. Gives you the feel of a big car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is good both in front and rear. Leg space is more and very comfortable for longer drives. The built in features are also good and the seat cusions are soft. The arm rest provided in the rear is comfortable and gives you the feel of a sedan. Has enough cup holders for you to enjoy the long drives with families and friends

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very smooth except for the noise. Even though the noise is low when compared to other diesel cars its quite irritating. The noise disappears after you reach a speed of 50kmph. You wont feel the noise if you are listening to some music. Gives an excellent mileage, I have driven around 150km as of now and it gives me a mileage of 18kmpl with AC inside Bangalore city traffic. (As shown by the fuel economy indicator). Gear shift is easy, it has short gear system.

Ride Quality & Handling Gives you a amazing driving experience. If you had switched from an hatchback to sedan, dont worry as it is very easy to judge. Have to be little careful as the pick up is more and might zoom out quickly before you realize.

Final Words Worth the money you pay for!!!

Areas of improvement Noiseless cabin.

Excellent mileage, comfortable to driveEngine noise at low speed

Exterior Good compact exterior, Honda logo gives it the slight upmarket feel.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious, comfortable with good leg room

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Relaxing auto tranmission makes it a easy and comfortable drive. noiseless engine and a very light steering makes it a pleasure to drive.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth. Good suspensions but could have been better.

Final Words Its a value for money car And the only readily avalable auto transmission in this price range. I feel auto transmission is the way to go forward with the kind of traffic we are facing on indian roads.. Appropriately priced in the right segment , where honda has been lacking.

Areas of improvement Air bags should be made a standard accessory as a safety devive on all cars. It would have been great if a sport mode could have been added to th automatic transmission of the vehicle. Rear defogger should be standard also. right corner of the windscreen tends to cause a blind spot.

Good interior space ,good power steer, auto transmission readily available with dealer , smooth rideAir bags shud be compulsory,

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Basic Interiors but the steering is great to hold and the steering mounted controls are useful. It's very spacious and large glasses gives it a very airy feel. Seats are comfortable, look premium and height adjustment for driver seat helps you find a good position.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is spirited at low RPM however is a bit sluggish in speeds btw 60-80 kmph. Overall, a very comfortable drive in city. I am getting a mileage of around 12 kmph in Mumbai compared to around 10 kmph which I used to get with my swift.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling is good and suspension is bit on the softer side but has never scraped the speed breakers

Final Words A very comfortable ride in city traffic

Areas of improvement Interiors could have been better but looks like cost considerations were paramount. Can't complain much because you are getting a 3 box automatic car for 8 lakhs.

Ride Comfort, SpaceA bit underpowered

Exterior

 Very nice looks . headlamps could have been more stylish

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Very comfortable. After driving the honda city for 9 years we have no complaints as the cabin space is very good in the front and the rear with a very good boot space  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Good, powerful engine but noisy on the inside , fuel economy in city with full AC and delhi peak hour traffic is 18.5 Kmpl. Gearbox is smooth , the gear shift could have better shifts as car literally jumps in the second gear. The clutch is super smooth 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Is good with a responsive steering 

Final Words

 Very good car for city driving. Have not been able to drive it on a highway as yet.

Areas of improvement  

 Engine noise inside cabin needs to be checked as sometimes it is annoying. The Bluetooth connectivity is missing. An automatic diesel option would be lovely for the city folk.
