ஹோண்டா அமேஸ் [2013-2016] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior: The look of car is really very good. It looks trendy.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): The space in the rear is an issue. It can accomidate 2 adults and a kid comfortabally. But, if you try to make 3 adults sit, its not good. Although its ok when going a short distence, but gets really very uncomfortable for long distence. But the front row is spacious and comfortable.

The features are good. The finish and look  has got  honda City's (Second Genaration) feel. Overall it good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Let me clarify here that, the engine is not at all noisy. The cabin is also very much noise proof. I drove it for 450 K.M Staight, but did not feel any noise or vibration. And the gear box is smooth like butter.

The fuel economy is also good. It gave me a milage of 21 K.M Per liter with A/C, which is actually good for my kind of driving.

Ride Quality & Handling: As I have already stated, the ride quality is an issue in the real row. The Suspensions are really hard. So, hard that I felt like sitting in a Fiat Premier Padmini.  You can actually feel each and every hump and jurks on he road. So, my humble request to Honda people is to make the suspension a bit softer, actually a lot softer.

The handling is awsome. I drove it on plain roads, rough roads, hilly roads, in rain, everywhere it passed with flying colours.

Final Words: Don't think much, if you are planning to buy it, thewn just go for it.

Areas of improvement : Definately, the suspensions at the rear.

Styling, looks, Performance, Fuel Economy, Boot Space.Hard Suspeensions, Rearside seating not ideal for long ride.

Exterior

The exterior of the car is good enough and it looks like a proper car when we compare it with some of the offerings from rivals like MS

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

For Driver: 1) the steering position is good. 2) the driver seat is not at all comfortable for a taller person. The front seats are smaller and they lack proper under thigh support. The rear seats are comfortable and there is enough leg room. The air conditioner is excellent. The music system is adequate

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

I have driven the car for almost 11000 Kms and the best and the worst feature of the car relate to the engine. first the best feature and that is the fuel economy. If I drive the car on highways and at a constant speed of 60 - 65 km, i get an astonishing FE of 29 KMPL. In normal city drive the car retuns a FE of anywhere 23-24KMPL

I drive for almost 80 -90 Kms per day and the emi of the car is offset against the savings on the fuel cost.

Now the worst feature and that is the engine noise and vibrations. I feel the engine noise is more than you could ask for. When you switch off the engine, it reminds me of an ambassodor which used to stop with a thud.

Ride Quality & Handling

The handling of the car is excellent with a very light steering but the the ride quality is not as good as honda city. The suspension of the car is on the harder side and you can feelthe bumps and jerks on Indian roads.

 

Final Words

If you are driving on long routes and FE is your main concern then look no further and buy this car

Areas of improvement  

Suspension, front seats, music system 

 

Fuel economy, leg space in the back seat, good amount f boot spaceaverage interiors, very less under thigh support for driver, lack of dead pedal

Exterior

Great exterior looks by giving cuts and lines all over the body. Head and tail lights looks great. Ground clearance is also good as compared to CITY and other sedan models of Honda.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Could have given better sound system with phone connectivity and better interior. Its gud that Multiple cup/bottle holders have been provided. Climate control provision should have been provided.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Very good fuel economy (20 KMPL in city and 25 KMPL on highways). However engine power is slightly less. Gearbox is also very smooth.

 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Very smooth to handle. Options like seat height adjustment, stearing height adjustment makes it more comfortable. ABS makes you feel more comfortable especially when you drive on highways.

 

Final Words

 All in all amaze is amazing as far as looks, fuel economy is concerned. Investing money is Amaze is really worth. Experiencing Honda for the first time but for me it’s better than other Automobile companies of the same class.

 

Areas of improvement  

Engine noise and power. 

 

Good Fuel Economy, Looks, Handling, Performace on highwaysLess Power, Engine noise

Exterior

 GOOD LOOKING CAR HOWEVER VERY LOW GROUND CLEARENCE

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 COULD BE BETTER. THE SEATS ARE VERY HARD EVEN THE BEST CUSHION SEAT COVERS WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, NO CAR CHARGER OUTLET ALSO NO READING LIGHT IN THE REAR. OVRMS PROVIDED ARE OF BAD QUALITY WHICH SPOILS THE LOOKS OF THE CAR.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 GOOD . FUEL ECONOMY IS ALSO GOOD , HOWEVER GEAR BOX AND THE CLUTCH IS HARD AND YOU WISH AFTER DRIVING FEW 1000KMS THAT AN AUTO TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE BEEN BOUGHT.

Ride Quality & Handling

 SUSPENSION AND THE REAR FEELS HARD AS IF SITTING ON TRACTOR

Final Words

 HONDA CARS SHOULD RESPOND TO CUSTOMER QUERRIES. DESPITE SENDING SO MANY EMAILS THE COMPANY HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY QUERRY. DEALERS ON VERY SMALL ISSUE THREATENS CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE WARRANTY GETTING VOID WITHOUT PROVIDING A SOLUTION.

Areas of improvement  

 NEED TO IMPROVE THE OVRMS FOR THE EMT MODEL..PROVISION FOR THE INSTALLATION OF REAR SPEAKERS SHOULD BE PROVIDED 

 

FUEL ECONOMYBAD QUALITY OVRMS FOR THE BASIC MODEL,NO PROVISION FOR INSTALLATION OF REAR SPEAKERS EVEN BY HONDA

Exterior It has quite beautiful body UTM color looks amaze-ing.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Seat are designed to give maximum space to the persons sitting on the back seats.loads of leg room for a person sitting on backseats. Seats are very comfortable. Music system is good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very responsive engine. What to say about its economy I got 20 kmpl on delhi-gurgaon highway(obviously during non peak traffic time), you can easily get 15kmpl on city roads.

Ride Quality & Handling Very small turning radius you will not feel driving a sedan. Stearing is very smooth.

Final Words Don't even think twice go and buy this. I spent 100 of hrs on internet searching for reviews so believe me its worth spending 6.5lacs+ on this car drove it like 1000 km loving it.

Areas of improvement Air conditioning may need some improvment though its not bad at all but still it may go little inefficient during may and June.

Very good fuel economy,Smooth carA/C

Exterior

 Nice looking and stylish.Liked the grille and the indicators on the wing mirrors.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Plastic is of cheap quality.Looks very tacky.The dashboard looks like a cheap plastic toy.There is no AC vent in the back.The AC is effective.Boot space is adequate .Didnt like the fixed headrests.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Smooth and the gear change in the AT is comfortable.However the engine seems to heat up a lot.

Ride Quality & Handling

Handles well even on bends and ride quality is good.Am looking forward to using the AT on the hills soon.

Final Words

 Honda pls stop cutting costs by using cheap stuff.Even the battery is chinese made.Wish I had stuck to my Maruti Swift.Honda has always been fitting cheap tyres and batteries which don't last as long as the others.

Areas of improvement  

 Honda is deviating from what it stands for while trying to make cheap cars.Please improve the interior even if it means increasing the cost.

 

LooksThe dashboard looks cheap due to the poor quality of plastic used and the battery is chinese.

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.

Exterior

 Need one more Manual lock co driver side, need more color options.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Rear view and reversing view bad, music system to be branded, driver entry difficult, mobile charging scoket needed, louder horn required, collaspable steering is of no great advantage, dual color seats better.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 engine make  noice at lower gears, but soomth while idling and top gears, have driven only 600 kms and has given 18 kml. gear box smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling

Smooth ride and handling 

Final Words

It,s value for money, 

Areas of improvement  

Close radiator grill with more ribs, provide another lock other side. Improve dash board design, Avoid flow marks inside dash board tray, dual color seats, Noice level of engine to be reduced. provide more color options. Clutch hard need improvement. provide better music system. provide much clear cost breakups while selling. Lot of hidden info about insurance and additional warrenty cost.  

 

1.5 L diesel engine, Sedan, Spacious and good style.Radiator expose too much, Not so well designed instrument panel.

I bought my the Black S iDTEC back in May 14. I have to say performance wise and mileage has given me smiles. I have clocked as of date 7500 kms with 19-20 kms per litre in the highway (with AC) and 14-15 in the city. Anyways there is a issue of Wheel Freeze or hydrolocking issue if you drive over shallow waterlogged roads at speeds above 120kms. I have driven over the same at 150kms (thats the max it can go) more than 20-30 times over the past months in the Bangalore Salem highway. There is no issue when driving in rains. It is as smooth as the cadbury chocolate. I have tested the speeds at which it happens and below 120kms the car is smooth when you drive over the hallow waterlogged roads. Else the Driver needs to be vigilant or you could loose control. Be very careful. Else no other flaw i could come accross. Its a ok car + good performance + decent mileage at the price they are selling.
