Honda Amaze [2013-2016] User Reviews

Exterior

Amaze has got the best looks in the compact sedan segment. They have built the car on the same platform as that of Brio but the overall design has come out really well.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 If you are looking for a car with a good leg space this car is for you. They have amazingly managed the space and that makes it a very comfortable car. The boot space is equally large. THe interiors look a bit simple and that is an area of improvement for the car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Petrol engine is absolutely fine. I haven't driven the diesel so can't really comment on it. Fuel economy is the best in the segment.

Ride Quality & Handling

The car has got good power inspite of a good mileage. The ride quality is also decent.

Final Words

 If you are looking for a nice compact sedan car in petrol you can certainly go for this car over dzire.

Areas of improvement  

 Head rest for seats and a better looking dashboard.

Hi All,

I bought Honda amaze diesel in december'13 and got to know that there was engine and diesel oil leakage first 500 km. They repaired most of the engine but refused to replace their own manufactured defective car.

They REPAIRED head gas kit, re-fixed timing plates.. All the cylinders.. Replaced the o ring and god knows what more they have done to my car.

All this was done without my consent 

Now my car has multiple issues and Honda doesn't even bother to respond back my mails.

Now. there are following issues in the car

1.Noise in front shock absorbers 

2.Horn not working

3.Left side car pull

4.have to turn steering 3-4 degree left to run the car straight

5.Breaks not effective on speed

6.Efficiency dropped from 25kmpl to 18 kmpl

7. Vibrations in engine. 2000 rpm @ 84 kmph

Trying to contact the company but not getting positive response.

All I can say is Honda is just fancy brand.. Maruti is far better.

No prosSelling defective cars and then repairing it instead of replacing

Exterior: I own an i20 so compared to that style quotient needs a big time improvement. Rear of the car is better designed than the front,especially the tail lamp cluster is cool at night. Low power bulbs and a horn that rivals and I fact fails against a scooty! Honda shouldn't have compromised on the sheet metal thickness. The usual "thud" sound while closing the door in German vehicles or even an i20 is missing. Which takes away the confidence on the safety aspect.

Interiors: Plain simple and uninteresting. What hits u when u is the poor quality of plastics that have been used. Glove box is essentialy jus a hole in the dashboard in the name of making more leg room Honda has messed it up by scooping out portions of the box. No dead pedal in the foot well,with ur left foot having to do nothing in the auto version. It is quite awkward. I especially have a problem with the differential height levels between accelerator pedal and the break pedal, with the former being at a lower level than the latter.this makes it difficult each time u have to lift ur leg fully up to engage the break pedal. Very poor thigh support aggravates the problem. Finding the right seating position is difficult due to the above reason. Good space and Decent rear seats with centre arm rest is a good upmarket style. Steering wheel is comfortable to hold with good contour. No CD player natural as we now hardly use it when USB and aux slots are provisioned Along with integrated 2din audio system. mobile phones and coins can be parked in the holes in Dash and near gear knob. Big water bottle can be stored in the rear seat doors while small ones in the front door socket.

Engine: Frugal 1.2 litre engine has enough grunt to make it thru daily office commute. I would be confident of taking it over difficult urban obstacles! it returns a decent 9 to 10kM per litre considering this being an auto. Manual am said gives 12 to 13 In city. Eco mode is very helpful especially if u r a first time automatic user. It is peppy when u down the gas pedal but I wou recommend it if u r a person who's concerned about mileage. Well refined engine that gives a lot of pleasu to drive. The usual  Honda symbol. Overall a good car if u r looking for a small sedan with a good brand name and value for money.

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Pooer fule economy.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words Honda car is made to be insured by any insurance firm and also asked every owner to take the extended warantee. Is Honda not confident of their quality ? As per the adverisement, it is maintenance free car. The parts damaged can be repleced and the cost will be borne by the insurance company. Then why extended warantee anf isnurance for the car owner ? 

Areas of improvement The mileage is only 14.6 kmpl against promise of 18 kmpl. Visited service centre many times for low mileage. Everytime, they just cleaned the air filter and showed the mileage is 18 kmpl. Daily one can clean the air filter or frequently change the air filter as the Honda cars are maintenance free. It seems the air filter provided in Amaze is faulty. This need to be given more focus by the Honda.

Bad fuel economyspacious

Exterior Awesome Exteriors. My family fall in love we first saw it on 26th March,2013.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfortable seats, Space is seen everywhere, Lots of Bottole Hoders, Hight of Seat is Adjustable, No adjustable Head rests but I never needed those when on a Drive for about 1 hour.

Dash board is basic. Doesn't looks ugly but if it could have been sloped toward the Front Windsheild it would have been more useful as you tend to place objects in your hand at the Dashboard. I placed the Gift back given by the Showroom there but it was constantly sliding down. Fronts seats have lots of leg room, even if the seats are moved forward. Rear seats too very spacious and comfortable. Boot space is more then needed for an average family of 4-5 members.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very smooth, At Ideal condition I sometime miss jugded that Its off. Its silent. Steering is also Light and smooth, for the first time car owner I was very easily making the hard turns.

Gears are not super smooth but Smooth and I don't feel that this matters much.

Fuel Economy:

Plains:  Distance: 156Km including city driving and 10 km Hill driving. --- 18.2 Km/lt.

Hills: Distance 186km:---- 16.3 km/lt.

 

Ride Quality & Handling I will rate it 5 stars.

Final Words Guys go for it if you need more space inside and boot, Modern looks outside. Otherwise a cheaper option is Dzire VX model in compared to Amaze SMT-iVTEC (in Uttarakhand). As I am surpriced that the ex showroom price difference is about 15k more where else it only 2.5k in Brio model.

Areas of improvement Dash board. SMT-ivtech should be more cheaper. ABS should be offered in this S-MT petrol also for the price difference it has to the top model.

Exterior looks, Interior Space, Smooth Driving, Milage, Its a HondaDash Board Simple, Pricier then Dzire, Price difference in Uttarakhand Is too much.

Exterior Very good looking car as compared to competetiors in this range, very stylish, small but BIG sedan.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Loads of space for  front rear passengers. Doors opening wide helps commuters to easily get in & out of the car, very comfortable seats.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Heard experts say engine is noisy but I have driven the car for 5362kms and not heard the kind of sound which experts criticise!! According to me it has similiar sound which emits from other diesel cars. Good fuel economy of 19.3km per litre. slick and short gears!!

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth Ride with excellent handling!! Moves the way you want!! Lots of power!! WOULD SAY A DRIVER'S CAR!!

Final Words An excellent car driven after a long time in this range!! Will be the BEST SELLER in NO TIME!!

Areas of improvement Front panel quality, Music system with blue tooth, reverse sensor and GPS is a must for TOP END models.

Good Mileage, interior space like big sedanFront panel plastic quality and look not upto the mark

Exterior Good design. much better than Competition.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Ample Space. Very Bad front seat.worse than an auto. Basic features availble. All road noise creeps in so on long trips u will get irritated. Even in city One wil get iritated as there is no insulation for engine noise or for noise on road.Wonder how Honda allowed such low quality car to be launched in its brand name.

Ride Quality & Handling Very very poor. Decided not to use his car for trips outside city limits. suspention is very bad. There is almost no noise insulation. Amazed to see all the engine noise audible inside the car!!when it rain it seems as if u are sitting below a tin roof.

Final Words Not at all Amazed. Feel cheated. Very pathetic dealer service further aggrevates the problem.

Areas of improvement Except the ample space inside there are lot of problems wih this car specially suspention, noise insulation, front seat wih no upper back support, music system is also pathetic.

Good Space and DesignExtremely Poor Suspention, Noise Insulation, Front seat

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 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.
