Honda Amaze [2013-2016] User Reviews

Exterior Side view looks  like Verna and back looks like Honda city but front view not impressive i.e. looks like Brio.In other cars fog lamp and turn light indicater is provided even in lower models but in this car fog lamp and turn light indicater is not provided and that is not justified.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interier space, boot space and comfort specially in the back seat is best in this segment but No GPS & blue tooth connectivity.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best in this segment but noissy in ridding the hilly areas.

Ride Quality & Handling Best in this segment.

Final Words I would prefer everyone buy this car.

Areas of improvement Front view and width of he car likely to be improved,to include GPS & blue tooth connectivity.

Exterior

 Great exterior looks - unmatched so far in this segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Superb space in a compact sedan. Very comfortable car. Dashboard is a bit basic but has most of the useful features built in.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Excellent engine - if we ignore the engine noise then its the best available diesel engine in market today. Its pickup/mileage/driveability is best in all segments - no turbo lag - equally suited for city driving, highways, hilly areas. I am getting close to 20kpl in peak hours city driving with 100% AC on.

Ride Quality & Handling

 I am loving driving this car. Its excellent so far.

Final Words

 Great car with excellent engine. Ignore the diesel engine noise and go for it!

Areas of improvement  

 Improve the interiors and reduce the noise inside the cabin.

 

Looks, fuel efficiency, space, driving comfortNoisy engine

Exterior : The exterior is beautiful, no comparison.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) : Space ^ Comforts are good. Should have given leather seat covers for top end models.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox : Good pick up, new car and hence not verified fuel economy, Gearbox is satisfactory.

Ride Quality & Handling : Ride quality is smooth and better and handling is eazy.

Final Words : Good Car but pricing is little high compared to the features of Ford Ecosport which is having lot of features. Engine noise is not abnormal as stated in many reviews. Swift Dezire is no way near to the Honda Amaze and cannot be compared.

Areas of improvement : They say it is keyless entry but it is not in real sense. In Ecosport if the key is within 3 meters of the car, you can open the door and start with puch buton. hat Amaze is having only Remote Locking & Opening. Bluetooth and climate control ac (important required features) are required.

Exterior look, driving comfort, powerNot having bluetooth and climate control a/c

Exterior

 The Car is beautiful.....actually best in its class. Looks much classy than the BuBBly Dzire..

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interiors are OKAY. The chrome content and a featurous Audio System in  SMT and VX  models just add to the sheer class.One must Accept a fact that BRANDS are sober and classy.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 HERE comes the FUN.Power is terrific.100ps under the hood with NIL turbo lag is a confident driving experience. Just Relax and drive in the city and dont let relax others on the highways.Thats why i call it AMAZING Amaze.I have driven almost 1200Kms and the odometer is showing mileage of 22.3 kmpl and the day i was driving back home from the showroom (60Kms), I was stunnened by the FIGURE..27.2Kmpl. 

Ride Quality & Handling 

 Electric power steering, suspension and  EarthDreams 1.5 i-Dtech are well collaborated to give u a wonderful and powerful riding experience.

Final Words

 LOOKING FOR A COMPACT SALOON ....DONT MISS THIS GEM..See, i did a great deal of research while purchasing my car..Dzire and Ecosport were the others that took my attention..But Amaze is the one which won it by a handsome margin.......Dzire------low powered, Feminine Looks,and the HONDA badge took it to the 3rd position.....ECOSPORT-----Wierd(but still Bold) Looks, Very Old Engine (Reasonable turbo Lag)  and my liking for a Sedan made it reserved second place.....I WOULD SAY YOU GO AND TRY THE CAR, COMPARE IT PROPERLY..U WILL EXPERIENCE MY WORDS..HAPPY BUYING

Areas of improvement  

 DEALERSHIP NETWORK OF HONDA IS THE ONLY ISSUE OTHERWISE THE CAR IS AWESOME.............

 

POWER MONSTER, SIMPLY CLASS, FUEL EFFICIENT, WELL ENGINEERED, SPACIOUSSTILL SEARCHING

Exterior

Looks are just amazing. The car looks like a premium segment vehicle. In comparison, DZire has become a little old.

Amaze doesn't look like a hacked up Brio in any sense which is a very big advantage. DZire looks like Swift which is a big disadvantage. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Ample space for average Indian with 5.8/10 height.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Diesel is a super performer, 1498cc is a big plus. There is literally no turbo lag which is very evident in DZire.

ARAI rates this vehicle to have 26 kmpl. Now that's a big number. It gives 20-21 on Highways and 18-19 in city which is good 3-4 Kmpl higher than its competitors. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Very smooth vehicle. The suspensions are not stiff and the steering is very responsive. The top end VXMT iDTEC is fully loaded and has all safety features. All that in 5-6k lesser than a ZDi DZire.

Only Automatic Climate Control is lacking in the vehicle. Could have given a boost to its already high on-road mileage.

Final Words

Very good vehicle. Truly Honda has hit the nail right as it did with City many years ago. 

Areas of improvement  

iDTEC is noisy, it does have a humming sound which many will find irritating. Audio system and the dashboard need an uplift. It is too contemporary for a peppy vehicle like Amaze. Don't want it like Chevy Beat which looks more like a bike than car from inside, but at least have the sleek lining of DZire whose interior styling defnitely beats Amaze. 

 

Interior Space, Exterior styling, Comfort insideNoisy iDTec Engine, Audio system is retro

Exterior

 nice exterior with sharp cuts at doors which gives exellent looks. Sould include defogger in all models. NOt a heavy body but still better than other cars in the same class

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Its interior are not good , but much more better than ETIOS. Horn quality is poor , needs improvement.Is rear seats are comfortable with a good leg sapce even if 5 perosns are in car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I bought AMAZE Petrol version 4 months back. On highways its mileage is 18.7km/pl and in city like chandigarh its mileage is 15.6 km/pl. While driving its driving smooth with good pick up and no sound in petrol version. Its gear sometimes get stuck whileputting second gear especially.

Ride Quality & Handling

 good

Final Words

 exellent car with good performance and mileage

Areas of improvement  

 Should provide better horn and rear defogger in SMT models also

 

Mileage, exteriorbad interiors

Exterior Very good exterior design but with limited colour options. Cost cutting visible in many areas.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Not very feature rich but has all essentials required. The Dashboard looks odd ans a straight fit from the Brio, which could have been better for a car of this segment. Cost cutting visible everywhere. Very spacious, with ample leg space and thigh support. Driver seat height adjustment very useful during long distance drives. The console  not so appealing.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent engine with good pick-up and fuel effeciency. But the body does not seem strong enough for the engine of this capacity and capability. Gearbox is smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good but for the vibration felt by the driver when rpm is more. Very stable at high speeds and handles corners very easily even at high speeds. Very stiff suspension and hence handles small bumps with a thud if not taken slowly. 

Final Words A good family car and good value for the money. Expect the reliability froim Honda. Satisfied customer.😊

Areas of improvement Thickness of the sheet metal. Music system. Console, Some external improvements to take care of the Indian road conditions.

Space, Comfort, exterior designCost cutting in Interiors, Music system, Thin body sheet

Exterior OK more like the Suziki Dezire, should have had its own originality.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfortable and spacious both for driver and passenger. Has more leg room than most cars at the rear seating. seats are well designed and impressive to look at.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox No doubt its Earth Dreams engine is a real dream and sounds like a race car,Peppy can out acclerate most cars while driving yet fuel efficient gear box Ok needs to be more syncronised and more smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth and comfortable for its class and handles well. very happy with the quality of the ride.

Final Words A car worth owning for its class, if you are a car lover you will never regret buying it. I do city driving and long distance its a good drive.

Areas of improvement Interiors music system,dash board. smoother gears. A little engine noise insulation for the interiors. More clearence a bit knowing Indian Roads.

Peppy,yet fuel efficient.Interior features, music system,dash board space.

Exterior

 Exterior is superb with crease lines and curves. People will stand and look at curvacious body. Best view of the car is from the rear. It looks very sexy, stylish and  more over looks like younger cousin of Mercedes benz.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Space and comfort is great considering it is a sub-compact car. Car is not rich in features. Basic things like power outlet or cigarette lighter point does not come in base version. Even my Maruti 800 had cigaretter lighter point about 7 years back. Featurewise not so rich like swift Dzire

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 One of the best diesel engines in India. First day after taking the delivery I started getting fuel efficieny of 18.2 kmpl. It is two days since I bought my car. I have travelled about 200 kms, already I am getting a FE of 20 kmpl per litre (diesel). Engine performance is the best part of the car. It is as powerful as Innova meant for carrying 7 or 8 people. Overtaking is a breeze.

Ride Quality & Handling

Ride quality and handling is good. Very precise steering. Best for ladies who fear that my car might go somewhere and hit. You point the steering and press the pedal, car will go straight there.

Final Words

 Value for money car. You will be amazed every millisecond you are in the car. I would vote this as the best car of 2013 amoung launches. I would not have bought this car, if I had not accidentally walked into Dakshin Honda showroom on Lavelle road. One test drive made me to change my decision and booked this car instead of Ritz Vdi-ABS. Probably it is the only car in the country where even base versions come with ABS-EBD. Thanks to Honda for considering safety of passangers rather than trying to make money.

Areas of improvement  

 NVH needs to be in level with Dzire. Honda needs to advertise on TV and print media more. Many people are not aware of it's great power, mileage, space and comfort. Dealer network should be strengthened in all cities of India to pull the crowd away from Maruti. Finally most important point from Indian consumers point of view, spare parts must be cheap, you cannot charge exhorbitant price for accessories.

 

Good fuel economy, Great styling, Good crease lines and a stylish bumperPoor audio, uninteresting dashboard
