Honda Amaze [2013-2016] User Reviews

Exterior Decent styling overall

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Instead of having cup holders all over, could have made space to store other items.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Petrol engine is quite and suspenstion is good. Gear ratio is good.

Ride Quality & Handling I prefer to ride around city with no issues of sneaking in traffic and easy U-turn, Amaze is good at this.

Final Words Although cost is not a factor for me to buy big sedan, I wanted to drive atleast 30 kms daily to work and in the traffic. I like to drive and get ahead of other vehicles in the traffic, so I wanted medium/small size sedan, also I have past experience driving Toyota and Honda cars in US, I like Honda cars for good pickup and suspension. I have been driving Amaze for 7 days now, except fews cosmetic issues (Horn, attached head rests), I like Amaze for compact and engine power along with Honda brand.

I'm disappointed that for the money paid for S variant, airbags should have been included.

Areas of improvement Horn, Detach the head rest from seats, Storage space, Include airbags as standard.

Exterior : OK

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) : OK But not very comfortable

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox : Fuel Economy poor as I have never achived the mileage more than 14 / Km on the highways and 9-10 in City ,in Petrol version. 

Ride Quality & Handling : OK

Final Words : I don't understand that why HONDA is recommending the servicing after every 6 Months or every 10,000 Kms,whichever is earlier.My car has clocked only 10,000 Kms in one year but it has gone for servicing FOUR Times so far.After Every six months they are changing the Engine oil / Air Filter etc.I feel that this is not fair and purely a case of cheating so that they can extract the money from the customer.While we asked the service centre about the fuel economy then I got the reply that car should run without A.C. and at a speed of 70 Km/Hr on the highways then you will get the mileage of 18 Km/Hr,which looks very funny.

Areas of improvement : Servicing time needs to be increased and Fuel economy to be Improved.

I have bought amaze SMT of 05.03.14, but now i am fully embarrased on my desicison why i am not purchased Swift dzire. very light body, tyre noise irritated, etc. cant get mileage more than 18 in city without AC as i was getting 19+ from my verna in city. engine noise is one of the biggest issue with that car. built quality is too cheap as it is shame for honda. I got small dunts on its roof on heavy rain with ice pieces with that you can imagine the hardness of sheet quality.  my all driving in Chandigarh city. please please please dont go for this car, its not value for money. now there is also one more choice in market like Hyundai Xcent. Honda Amaze body and door noise really gives you feel of maruti 800. for more details you can contact me at 98761-XXXXX before you are planning to go for this scrap.

Exterior Excellent one, Amaze is releally supperior in this area, only door latch seems to be weak.Ground clearance is a big concern.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Front seat is of cheap quality.Rest of things are superb

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Both are at par but desire(P) is havinng better fuel efficiency.The power for both the car is at par.

Ride Quality & Handling Both are at par.

Final Words Cost of Amaze(P) is slightly higher, while desire is offering more featuers in lower cost. It seems that Honda has concentered on diesel version only.

Areas of improvement The sell of AMAZE can be doubled if HONDA improve on ground clearance, front seat and small things like door latch and remote door open in top model.

SMT(P) should atleat keep at par with diesel version feather. It must have ABS & fog lamp. There is lot of gap between VX and s MODEL CARS. lIKE.

Even the base model of disel car is having ABS while in petrol only top model is having this feature. Honda should at least generalise this for all the variants, if rellet wants to defeat DESIRE for both diesel and petrol variants.

I loved the car since the first day I purchased. I was in double mind wheather to buy Amaze or Dzire but I had made a great choice.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The Space is amazing, normal sized person can fit 3 comfortably at the back seat. The dashboard same as Brio, should have been changed but it doesn't look bad because the quality used is very good.

Exterior Exterior looks beautiful, the design is well integrated and the best part is it does not look like a sub 4 meter sedan. It looks like a prper sedan.

Ride Quality & Handling Suspension is bit stiff but its a feel good factor when you are cornering or at high speed the car is planted.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Everything is perfect in this car except the clattering sound which enters the cabin when windows are closed. Wish they had better insulation for sound. But i can live with that sound because the engine performce thrills you from the word go.. The gears are smooth and perfect shifting.

Areas of improvement Sound insulation from the engine, Dashboard styling and detachable frot head rests.

Hi Everyone,

This is the review i'm giving to all customer who are planning to buy Honda vehicles. My experience was with Sundaram Honda, Secunderabad.

My vehicle number: TS10BXXXXXX. I was bought a new band new Amaze 1.5 S Diesel version. With them on 1st, OCT-2014 and found some problems.

We have a compliant filed on 06th-October, 2014 and the complaint number is "1-2101-XXXXXX", we did n't get any response from the honda till 20th-Oct,2014.

The issue observed in the brand new vehicle are:
1.side pulling
2.Engine Sound
3.Dashboard Vibration

The honda service people have taken the vehicle on 20th-Oct, 2014 and the KM reading was "699KM".

After that on 22nd-Oct,2014 the vehicle was checked by SetuRaman & Srinivas and told that everything is fine and asked me to take the vehicle.The KM meter
reading was "928KM".But after checking I found the issues still persist and not at all solved.
I'm not sure why company as drove it for "229 KM".
After continuos calls to showroom and service people, they have taken vehicle again to the service center on 3rd-Nov,2014 the KM reading was "1007" and delivered to us
saying that issues are solved on 6th-Nov,2014 the KM reading was "1258KM".

I'm not sure why company as drove it for "251 KM". And kept the vehicle 3 days.

The problem is still not solved.

The important Note is that Sundaram Honda employee SRINIVAS S SalesManager has closed our compliant "1-2101-XXXXXX" though he already knew that the problem is not solved.

I'm still have all issues in papers while registration.

Ultimate information is when we mailed Honda customer service representatives(Parampreet,Gopinath) about showroom people behaviour they asked us to contact showroom people again ..:):)

Final Words I'm already in soup,so wanted to share my experience which might help new friends who are planning to buy Honda vehicles that to at Sundaram Showrooms, Secunderabad.

Areas of improvement Best to go for some other vehicle where there is respect for customers and better service.

Thanks,

Murali.

Exterior Beatiful looks, the curves on the sides just reminds us of the fluidic verna and the rear boot is just nicely attached. You never feel that it was added later. It is as if they designed the  Amaze first and then cut it to make a brio.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Huge space, Good comfort, good features.(We can buy a basic verson as well and later add the features through accesories) 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Great power, High fuel Efficiency, Smooth shift

Ride Quality & Handling Good ride quality, could have made the suspension a bit more softer, Small and zippy stearing.

Final Words It is just amazing. Just drive the car without touching the accelerator, in city conditions. The eco light in the car keeps gowing(you get the best eficiency). You can also put the fifth gear without touching the accelerator.

Areas of improvement The AC fan makes noise. Can give a 15inch wheel instead of 14.

Amaze has got one of the biggest con in features.

It is the AC.

Whenever I swithc on the AC, a very foul smell starts coming. It stays for abouty a minute and then vanishes.

But these initial seconds make you restless and make you rethink" Have I wasted lakhs to smell this shit".

Other point is the efficiency of the AC.

In winter it feels OK but during summer, in places like gujarat, the car struggles to perform in the noon.

The mileage as quoted by the company is only under test conditions.

If you have a normal drive in the city with AC running, it would be around 17-18 which is same as a dzire or sail.

Boot space is not an issue. Its quite good.

One more con is the non adjustable head rest in the front and rear seats. It should be made available atleast as an upgrade option.

Final Words

Areas of improvement  

Exterior Yes, it is amazingly stylish, good curves, stylish side lines similar to verna with stylish tail light similar to city, but not aggressive from the front at the same time.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks same as of brio, dint attract much, dash board too is not appealing also metering light is not good.  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine looks refines wityh very low noise and vibration at idling, but sonds higher as soon as you give acceleration specially on higher RPM's the engine becomes noisier.

Acceleration is not as good as looks on paper, torque is lower than the swift Dzire. Gear shifting should have been a bit smoother. Economy hav't judged yet, as i had driven a only few kilometers. 

Ride Quality & Handling The riding is smooth with good grip on road and easy handling with pleasing steering control. It is very much appreciable that Honda has given four Power windows, Power steering ABS & EBD with AC & heater even to its basic variant.

Final Words Yes it is a attractive package offered by Honda and will defineitely give the Dzire a tough cutthroat fight. BUT ITS BASIC VARIANT WILL PROVE TO BE AN ACE OVER THE DZIRE AND WILL DEFINITELY GET BETTER SALES FIGURES AS COMPARED TO ITS OTHER VARIANTS.

Areas of improvement Change in head lights, Dashboard, Metering light is definitely required alongwith improvement in ground clearnce and width.
