Honda Amaze Petrol. Used to ride a Swift VXi (2008) model earlier.

Exterior The car looks very good from the outside. The two lines on the outside extending to the end looks classy. And also parking this car is not an issue as we do not have a lot of parking space in Kolkata roads.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) There is a lot of space in the inside. Although the plastics, sound system etc could have been been made better. A lot of people had written about the Music System, but it suites my purpose since I do not use it in a loud volume to hear the horns of the cars behind me. There is also a 12v DC socket to charge your phones and other uses. But the wire to hook up the USB pen drive looks a bit odd in the inside near your foot. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Have ridden the car for almost 150 Kms. Bought it on 31/10/2015. Engine pick up is a bit slow initially but once the RPM is pushed to 2000, then the pick up is great and overtaking in city traffic is easy. Not yet tested on the highway as of now. But engine noise as well as AC fan noise is filtering inside the cabin. Have to get it looked at in the first servicing. Fuel economy shows 10 km/l in the meter provided. Too early to comment on the same.

Ride Quality & Handling Since the suspension is new, the potholes are not felt. Lets see how long this comfort lasts.

Final Words For a person like me who commutes may be 50-60 kms per day, it is a good buy. The reason why I bought this car is because I used a Maruti for the last 11 years (4 years in a Zen and 7 years in a Swift). I wanted to change the brand and see and since the Honda showroom is one of the showrooms near to my house, went for the Amaze. Could not afford a City and also it would not have fit in my garage.

Areas of improvement Engine noise, interior plastics.
