Honda Amaze [2013-2016] User Reviews

Exterior It is good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It has not got CD player or MP3 player. It has only Radio and USB connection which is very basic and Interior only has space which is useful features. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I was driving in rain and it stop where other cars like Santro / Accent / Maruti are running well with same depth of water logged area. also , Engine got water inside and caused me problem where other car were past same area without difficulty.

Ride Quality & Handling

Final Words I must look in to it to make it perfect for indian enviornment. I would not prefer this car in Indian rainy climate.

Areas of improvement Dash board, Honda Need to reduce the diesel engine noise, Clutch is hard - driving in city traffic jam will be painful, Need to improve in Ground clearance.

My Overall Experience on Honda Amaze is good. But the car delivery waiting period for Diesel S Variant  3-4 months and for V variant the waiting Period is nearly 5 months in Hyderabad(India).

HondaPoor engine performance

Exterior: Simply superb for the price, liked rear parking lamps very much, exterior design is 1 step up than the competition. the side profile and front too looks very nice. I have purchased red beauty SMT iDTEC. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Seat comfort for short drive less than 100Km is good. If you drive for 200km or so you will feel there’s a pain in your back. Use pillow in front seat back to have a lumbar support comfort. Rear seat is superb. Space management is phenomenal as it’s a sub 4 meter. Wanted to book Ecosport but rejected it once I saw a pathetic interior of Ecosport and went ahead for Amaze. Features for the price such as ABS, EBD, EPS , Buttons on steering wheel are quite good !Front seat height is good for me 5,10 height. Integrated Head restraint not required then.Only this which was missing was Airbags which came now in SX version!

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: I found the NVH level in Amaze is better or equal to competition like Suzuki Desire and others. About mileage I am getting 24.5 if along driving car for 200km. If fully loaded getting 20+ mileage.  

Ride Quality & Handling:  Handling on Indian roads is quite good. Breaks are pretty good. ABS+EBD makes is more more safe!

 Final Words: Just go for it as its 3 lac cheaper than sibling Honda City, Same engine 100PS is more than enough for city driving. Beats Ecosport in engine department! Mileage is superb! Once I have reached magic figure of 25.5kmpl on 100km drive!

 Areas of improvement  :only changes required in Instrument cluster! I am automotive engineer working for leading automotive company is the world(other than Honda)!

Many more, interior space, exterior design, looks, honda service, Good boot space for small familyfront seat back support on long distances, Need lumbar support, dead pedal, almost perfect car, nois

I bought my Honda Amaze from Whitefield Honda in Bangalore. I chose this car for easy city driving and mileage. But this turned out to be the worst decision I ever made. Its just 6 weeks since I purchased this car - I was in the traffic one day and all of a sudden smoke started coming out of the bonnet. I called the Honda service and they came and took the car to their service center (Whitefield Honda). They checked the vehicle and told me that the problem was with the clutch and I have to replace it. As the warranty does not cover the clutch problem - I  had to pay Rs.9,500/- to get the vehicle done. 

 

The biggest disaster is that when they returned the vehicle, there were plenty of scratches on the front bumper which occurred while the vehicle was being towed to the service center. On asking the service staff - they told me that nothing can be done about it and they didn't even care to do anything about it. I'm very disappointed with the way the staff dealt the whole problem and would never recommend this car or the dealer to anyone. A polo or a Swift Dzire is always a better option. 

 compact and easy to drive. Excellant mileage.Quality and service is poor

Exterior Well Defined and Lovable.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best Performance,Best economy,Gearbox Is little stiff but ok.

Ride Quality & Handling Best just like my old i10 petrol.

Final Words Best Sedan to drive. Which will make you to sit in sedan but driving is just like a hatchback comfortable. No need to see boot during turns.

Areas of improvement 2nd and 3rd gear noise little bit.But I am happy to ignore it and enjoy still.

Suggestions and Views:

No car can provide all in one specs and features.But this time honda have tried its best according to Indian mentality people.This car will set new benchmarks like swift and Dzire.Even maruti have started to offer discount on DZire after this launch of amaze.So its no worry car for atleast 7 to 10 years.People who says this amaze have this have not this.Then its not ok in my opinion.in 7 lakhs diesel sedan should be whatever then its amaze only.

Space, Shape, Mileage, Steering, DrivabilityNothing

Exterior

Exterior looks good, curve, s gives sharp looks which is like Verna, so looks modern vehicle. However it do not look aggressive like CITYInterior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Comfort to sit on back, OK with front (means owners car, not for drivers). Great cabin space under 4m Sedan, Well enough boot space. Without trouble 6ft can sit in front or back row. More than its competitor giving. Low cost interiors, Low cost ICE, No power socket

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Good,excellent

Ride Quality & Handling

I brought the car just 10 days back and found excellent.Very much comfartable to ride in city as well as highways. Nice to drive in low as well as high speed.As of now ride quality and handling it seems amazing

Final Words

I love the brand Honda and its commitment

Areas of improvement  

 Dashboard

Showroom sales people should be customer oriented .

Exposed A/C condensor prone to small pebbles from the front, A/C Fan for condensor is too loud.

Good fuel economy,Good style and comfortBit noise while running in AC

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Better.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Shocking and dissapointing experience with amaze. Ever since I bought this car within 1000 Km the car pick up drastically reduced, when I brought this to the service center's notice, they said the oil pipe need to be replaced, was really shocked to know how can a brand new car develop such a technical problem. The authorities returned the car after the replacement and said all is fine,  But to my surprise after that when one day I took the vehicle for a long drive and went out of station, the car was not going beyond 40 km. Faced serious trouble with it especially in a ghat section. Now once again I have given the car for service. Engineers are attending to it. They too are puzzled. My fight will be on until the Honda company replace this car if not I am ready to take the legal route until I get justice.  

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words Bad experience.

Areas of improvement Customer care.

LookPoor fuel efficiency

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 Great exterior looks - unmatched so far in this segment DASHING!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Superb space in a compact sedan. Very comfortable car. Dashboard good looking  has most of the useful features built in.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent engine - ignore the engine noise then its the best available diesel engine in market today. Its pickup/mileage/driveability is best in all segments , equally suited for city driving, highways, hilly areas. I am getting close to 23.9- 24.2 kpl in highway driving with 100% AC on. at 75- 80 km/hr.

Ride Quality & Handling Amazing, full of comfort &  excellent so far at high speed the car is planted.

Final Words Everything is perfect in this car, the engine performce thrills you from the word go.. The gears are smooth and perfect shifting.

Areas of improvement  Sound insulation from the engine side.Front look like Brio,ground clearance,No GPS & blue tooth connectivity.

FUEL ECONOMY UP TO THE MARK ,SPACIOUS & DRIVING COMFORTAUDIO SYSTEM NO GPS AND BLUE TOUTH CONNECTIVITY

Exterior The Exterior are good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interior are good but the dashboard dissappoints.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The Engine Performance is good but noise can be felt in side, Fuel Economy and Gearbox are good.

Ride Quality & Handling The Ride quality & handling are good.

Final Words The car is good but the after sale service of honda is not good.

Areas of improvement I have this car from feb 2014,car is good but the company just wants to sell the car after that they don't care much I felt it more then eight times in eight months. I have paid full amt. of roadside assistance,first time in 8 months I asked for assistance & they dissapointed me.

They talked to me as if I was asking for something I didn't pay for. The engine's sound should not be felt inside the cabin. The dashboard gives a feel of two decade old car. it should be like what Honda is known for.

Overall performance,exteriors,comfort.Engine's noise can be felt inside the car too,After sale service is not good at ALL.
