Exterior

 Exterior is very good looks aero dynamic shaped. Nice cuts & curves provided and I like the over all design of Amaze. Compared with Dezire looks much better.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interior is okay as compared to Dezire. Provided Chocolate and beige color interior looks good and speedo meter and other display panel is very basic. Seat color matches with the interior looks good. Cup space in the rear arm rest is useful and give total sedan feeling. Over all good interior and will give 3.5 marks out of 5

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine performance is very good till now, no humming sound and smooth Driving. Fuel economy currently getting 13 to 14KMPL in city with 60% AC and 16 KMPL in highway with 60% AC. Gear shift is smooth and as per honda values finds perfect.

 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality and handling is very good. Feels like driving a good sedan car with smooth steering and gears.

Final Words

 Good choice if want to purchase a car in rane of 7 to 7.5 Lakh. Compared to Dezire will give extra marks for its driving comfort and smoothness. Only Dashboard can be much better but fullfilling its job so no complaint.

Exterior Designed so stylish.It looks so sporty.It is the only car which has Aero Dynamic design with super forwarding Shape Introduced in indian market.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Honda has Designed the Interiors more Usefull. Interms of boot amaze has huge space of 400L i think it must be the best in clsass.Thanks to HONDA.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The Best Fuel Economy Car in Segment.

Ride Quality & Handling Its soo user Friendly Driven car.Its more powerfull vehicle as well much responsive when we ride at high speed.

Honda did good thing by proving ABS in all Variants  Because in todays Traffic condition,a sedan car must have this ABS feature. It is too attractive thing in HONDA.

Final Words Honda Did Fantastic R&D for Indian Market.Amaze can fullfill the needs of an indian customer.

Areas of Improvement Interms of Features Honda must work to make it more Competetive.! When I was comparing with I20,it is having a lot featuues being Hyundai.But Amaze has to be improved.

Excellent Fuel economyBluetooth option is not availble

I started looking for a car last September, I started driving at 22 and have owned three cars all maruti suzuki 800 simply I wanted a peace of mind car . When finally at 40 I thought of looking beyond maruti brand I was amazed at the choice I had .I won’t say any car is lessor than other but I was looking for peace of mind car and I wanted a petrol car even when I drive 2k kms every month diesel was never my choice . anyway after many test drives and consultation I selected Honda Brio just coz I luved the looks and of course it is a peace of mind car and last week I went to book it at prestige Honda Chandigarh, while talking the sales Ex . I started talking about amaze and the more I talked about it the more I liked it. it had all the looks all the space and Honda I-vtec under hood And I decided this is one I wanted and finalized 1.2 SMT @ 6.7 all inclusive except regiistration which will cost another 50k approx . gave him cheque and picked the car next day .I have driven 1400 kms in 8 days, I have drove it in B2B traffic I have drove it on highway and trust me its amazing .Its rock solid . its silent . its aggressive and in 5500 rs wroth of petrol it have travelled 1425 kms that’s an   amazing mileage of 19km/l:)

rock solid , amazing mileage , comfortnothing as yet

Highest fuel average achieved so far, 26.1 Kmpl (calculated on a distance of 202 km inclusive of highway and city drive). Lowest fuel average achieved 17.2 Kmpl. Impressive Boot space. Cabin sapce is excellent. Good control. Ground clearance is not satisfactory. Doesnt feel that heavy while driving. Suspension is not satisfactory.

Good Value for money. For those living in urban areas and often travels long distance during weekends, the Amaze i DTEC is a blessing. I have driven 2700 km in 27 days which includes highway, city traffic, hilly gravel road as well as bumpy ones. Only on two occasions with 7 persons ( 4 adults + 3 children) on board, the car kissed the ground in a speed braker. However, the kissing didnot happen during back journery at the respective speedbrakers. Be very slow and calm in bumpy brakers. Though lot complained of the engine noise, but I have no such views. It is lot cool and silent compared to Tata, Mahindra and Ford. 

Beautiful back side. However, the front looks dwarf. 

I am satisfied with my car.

Mileage, ComfortGround Clearance, Suspension, Ugly Dash Board panel

Exterior

 I love the exterior make, strong and sturdy for the price.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 very spacious for 5 passengers(including driver). No one has complained so far even when driver's seat is pulled out maximum to back. Dials looks very out dated, there is no "wow" factor at all.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I have had a very bad experience in this aspect. I use Air conditioning all the time. So it can be because of that but on a highway I have got just 14-15 kmpl and in city I experience the worst, just 10-12kmpl!!. This is definitely not something I had in mind while buying this car. I was misguided by the fuel efficiency and qouted milage of 18kmpl. Also the engine seems to be tuned for maximum efficiency or something because of which the uphills which I used to very easily  climb on 2nd or 3rd gear in my previous car is no more possible. I am forced to shift down to 1st(more often) or 2nd gear for the same uphills now. I find it terribly irritating.

When it comes to gearbox, I have drove cars with way smoother gear transition.

Ride Quality & Handling

 With this price one cant expect too comfy seatings right?. So if you are making a journey say of 3 hours, better take a pit stop in between if you dont want to end up with a back pain. Steering the vehicle is comfortable but when you are finding a tough spot in a congested parking lot, you would wish steering were a bit more smooth.

Final Words

 This car is for the average person who loves to own a decent car from a legacy brand. However dont trust on the milage qouted by the company in their advertisements. No matter how well you drive you will not get it. If you are driving in a very traffic congested place, then I won't recommend this model of Amaze to you. 

Areas of improvement  

 Nothing other than on the fuel efficiency and engine tuning.

 

Classy look, easy handling, good boot spaceBad Fuel efficiency

1) MORE HP BUT LESS POWER

First month of my purchasing this vehicle. I drove to Ambaji Hill. The ride was good till we reached hilly portion. I had to change the gear MANY times before on the way up till I reached the top. I practically felt like oohhh.. its less power.

 

 

2) NO FOR CITY RIDE

I bought Amaze in June-2013. But the system in Amaze does not suite driving in City/Traffic. When ever you change the gear, it generates a Torque which automatically INCREASES the speed. You have to Compulsorily keep on CLUTCHING the vehicle. 

 

 

3) LOW RESELL VALUE.

I own a Honda Amaze Diesel TOP Model. I bought it for 9,00,000/- on date June-2013. After 25,000 KMs. I thought to purchase a new Honda City Diesel in return of Amaze. They evaluated my car to 6,00,000/-. There not even a scratch on my car and it's very properly maintained. Honda dealers themselves evaluate it to such low price.

 

 

4) BAD BAD BAD SUSPENSION

I live in a town. The roads are not that good everywhere. When ever my car passes a small pit or a bump it gives me a big jerk. The suspension is very very bad as compared to atleast my previous car DEZIRE. 

 

Good Fuel economy and SpaceSuspension, Resell, Torque, Power

Exterior Lookwise it is good but as per my likings it should be sleek like city ground clearence is ok but if increased well and good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is not very attractive stereo not impressive supports only MP3, space is good, comfortable specially seat postion is very comfortable but left side vision is poor without side mirror, ride is very comfortable while in city as well as long routes. No tiredness.

 Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gears are very smooth, no need to use clutch at low speed engine is noise less. I am using petrol model. fuel economy is very good on long route I got 19.6 kmpl/lit. in city it varies from 12 to 15 depends on your driving culture.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent.

Final Words Till date I am satisfied with the car except its horn  and headlight bulb failed but replaced by the dealer.

Areas of improvement Interior plus stereo.

Exterior well but should be sleek like cityinterior is not attractive, stereo
