Honda Amaze [2013-2016] User Reviews

Exterior is good  enough.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Is satsfactory.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Unbearable cabin sound is the only concern for which  I hav to go for other car where I hav to pay more for fuel.

U have to compramise with uncomfrrtsble sond if u r going for this car. the sound gives feeling of driving Tata indica 2001. I pesonally want to hav that feeling again. Even Indica improved alot. Hope hoda will do the same.

Ride Quality & Handling Clutch is hard (harder then my indica 2006 which is now khatara) , gear shifting is tolrable. May be I am expecting more from honda but for honda and me it is not up to the mark.

Final Words If u r not perchesing alto in petrol and indica in diesel it means u want style, luxery, ccomfort and safety. Sefty is there in this car but piece of mind naaaaaaa...

I m middle class person my daily running is aroun60-70 km I tried a lot to compromise with its sound . So I called test drive 2nd time 1st time I took in city and 2nd time in city as well as on expressway . It is having the noise at 40 as well as on 135 kmph. So I rejected the car and booked other diesel car.

It is as simple as having a very beautyfull zero figure wife who keep on shouting in fact barking every time when u enter home.

I dont need that kind of wife.

Areas of improvement Noise.

Pick upSound, suspnsion

THe musculine & curvy look makes it ahead of all the sedans in the segment. Best in class interiors with elegance & confort.

The first diesel engine with the maximum power 106HP & mileage 25.08 has given the strong feagures to conquor the market.  We believe HONDA to prove to the figures

I-DTEC will prove out to be the best. I have a linea & Yet to take the drive for the AMAZE but feels will be astonosing.

The Amaze is a testimony to Honda’s ‘Man Maximum, Machine Minimum’ principle that believes in maximizing space for you and minimizing space taken up by the machinery. With Best in Class cabin space & so much attention paid to your comfort, you will be amazed at how Amaze changes your life.

The rear of this car has been specifically designed to accommodate your every need while traveling. The 400 liter boot space provides you with the comfort of knowing that everything you want is always with you.

Final Words Diesel Icon in small Sedan section with Great Style & mileage & interiors

REALLY AMAZE ING.

Diesel Icon in small Sedan section with Great Style & mileage & interiorsStill nothing can be found as cons

Exterior:  Very good looking, very compact. Honda's policy of max space has worked wonders while desigining Amaze.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Marvalous engineering of space, good comfortable seats, Leg space as good as a premium car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Pepy engine - would say driver's car, wonderful ecomony in city we are getting 19+ per litre 11000kms done already. Long drive we should get atleast 22+ with AC on.

Slick and short gear box does wonders

Ride Quality & Handling: Execelent handling, and good road behaviour. Very good in sharp turns. Honda has done an excellent job

Final Words: A wonderful compact car with all features!! Can say a perfect car!! We were looking at Rapid / Vento and D'zire. but when we saw this car we just flipped at the way this car was made. the strong diesel eng, interior spacing, boot space made us go for this car!! Also Hallmark Honda Navi Mumbai (from whom we bought the car) has till date given a wonderful service!!

Areas of improvement: Honda has to work on insulation of outside sound!!

Economy, pick up, Exterior look, leg space, dicky spaceDash board cld have being better similiar to City

One year back in the April 2014 I purchased Amaze Diesel top end model with the image of Honda Quality. Till now in one year I had running of 12,000 KM.I shifted from Tata Indica DSL to Amaze. I used Indica for around 9 years and was satisfied with the car and its overall performance. It was really Value for Money.

Exterior Good Looks and design. Rear view and side mirrors are properly placed and covers maximum possible  area. Also electronically mirror adjustment and folding from inside is very comfortable.

Quality of the body metal is very thin and paint quality is poor. I had taffeta white colour car and its paint quality is very poor.

Design/placing of the wheel need to improve. If road is rough, it throws small stones on the external part of the car sides and because of this there are dents on side body the next to rare doors of the car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good space and comfort for driving Quality of material use for interior is average. Size of the glove box is very small.

I am not sure if the placing of steering axel rod is proper, because when we press the clutch, steering axel rod touches to our feet and we can sense its movement. It is definitely not a comfort feeling and has concern about safety, because  it gives uncomfortable feeling of thinking about immediate impact of this rod in case of an accident.

Boot Space is very good among the various options available in this segment. Dicey door is not covered from inside. The space between dicey doors external sheet and inter plates/rods is open and visible. It could create a problem if and part of the luggage or say handle of bat/stick etc. stuck in it then it may get locked from inside or even a small parts of luggage may stuck into it. If it would have covered with a small piece of board sheet, I do not think that, it would have much cost impact.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is little bit noisy,  I was expecting smoothing of its noise after running for 10k kms, but it is not so. If there are limitations in reducing in built noise of the engine, still in the present case it could have suppress to a large extent if it provides a thick and bigger fabric/canvas sheet as inner to bonnet of the engine. The present size of the sheet is very small and also it is very thin.

Gearbox is hard. It is informed that, the gear box is of polymer material and not of the metal. For me it developed a little muscle / ligament pain in the left palm.

Fuel economy claim by the Company is misleading. In the city(70%) and Highway(30%) average fuel economy is around 16.3 km/ltr.  My 9 years old Tata Indica car was giving better fuel economy than this new car.

Ride Quality & Handling It gives amaze pleasure in riding and comfortable in driving. It has very good power, torque and pick-up.

Final Words To carry the banding and image of the Honda, it needs certain improvements. Fuel efficiency claimed by the Company is misleading.

Areas of improvement Fuel efficiency, Paint Quality, Body metal quality/thickness.

Front wheel placing to avoid small stone throw on the side body of the car.

Quality of material used for interior.

Cover /close the dickey door from inside.

About placing of steering axel rod, refer observation above.

Size and thickness of fabric/canvas sheet as inner to bonnet of the engine to suppress the engine noise and quality of insulation used between engine area and cabin of the car.

Good Pick-up & power, Good Space managementLow Fuel efficiency, interior and paint is of average quality, Engine Noise

Exterior The exterior design is too good and stylish. Gives you the feel of a big car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is good both in front and rear. Leg space is more and very comfortable for longer drives. The built in features are also good and the seat cusions are soft. The arm rest provided in the rear is comfortable and gives you the feel of a sedan. Has enough cup holders for you to enjoy the long drives with families and friends

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very smooth except for the noise. Even though the noise is low when compared to other diesel cars its quite irritating. The noise disappears after you reach a speed of 50kmph. You wont feel the noise if you are listening to some music. Gives an excellent mileage, I have driven around 150km as of now and it gives me a mileage of 18kmpl with AC inside Bangalore city traffic. (As shown by the fuel economy indicator). Gear shift is easy, it has short gear system.

Ride Quality & Handling Gives you a amazing driving experience. If you had switched from an hatchback to sedan, dont worry as it is very easy to judge. Have to be little careful as the pick up is more and might zoom out quickly before you realize.

Final Words Worth the money you pay for!!!

Areas of improvement Noiseless cabin.

Excellent mileage, comfortable to driveEngine noise at low speed

Exterior : The exterior is beautiful, no comparison.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) : Space ^ Comforts are good. Should have given leather seat covers for top end models.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox : Good pick up, new car and hence not verified fuel economy, Gearbox is satisfactory.

Ride Quality & Handling : Ride quality is smooth and better and handling is eazy.

Final Words : Good Car but pricing is little high compared to the features of Ford Ecosport which is having lot of features. Engine noise is not abnormal as stated in many reviews. Swift Dezire is no way near to the Honda Amaze and cannot be compared.

Areas of improvement : They say it is keyless entry but it is not in real sense. In Ecosport if the key is within 3 meters of the car, you can open the door and start with puch buton. hat Amaze is having only Remote Locking & Opening. Bluetooth and climate control ac (important required features) are required.

Exterior look, driving comfort, powerNot having bluetooth and climate control a/c

Exterior

Looks are just amazing. The car looks like a premium segment vehicle. In comparison, DZire has become a little old.

Amaze doesn't look like a hacked up Brio in any sense which is a very big advantage. DZire looks like Swift which is a big disadvantage. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Ample space for average Indian with 5.8/10 height.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Diesel is a super performer, 1498cc is a big plus. There is literally no turbo lag which is very evident in DZire.

ARAI rates this vehicle to have 26 kmpl. Now that's a big number. It gives 20-21 on Highways and 18-19 in city which is good 3-4 Kmpl higher than its competitors. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Very smooth vehicle. The suspensions are not stiff and the steering is very responsive. The top end VXMT iDTEC is fully loaded and has all safety features. All that in 5-6k lesser than a ZDi DZire.

Only Automatic Climate Control is lacking in the vehicle. Could have given a boost to its already high on-road mileage.

Final Words

Very good vehicle. Truly Honda has hit the nail right as it did with City many years ago. 

Areas of improvement  

iDTEC is noisy, it does have a humming sound which many will find irritating. Audio system and the dashboard need an uplift. It is too contemporary for a peppy vehicle like Amaze. Don't want it like Chevy Beat which looks more like a bike than car from inside, but at least have the sleek lining of DZire whose interior styling defnitely beats Amaze. 

 

Interior Space, Exterior styling, Comfort insideNoisy iDTec Engine, Audio system is retro

Exterior Appealing exteriors especially Rear.Honda Cars always look best,All colour options not available in Base models i.e. EMT and EXMT.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very similar to Honda Brio., But better than other cars, Space is quite enough for Rear passengers, Good Leg and Knee Room., Comfort is quite OK.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good Pick up. Somewhat engine noise is there but it is acceptable, as Volkswagen Polo and Dzire are more noisy. and after all all diesl engines make noise but issue can be set aside, if  user wants fuel economy. Fuel economy can be judged only after 2-3 service intervals. Gear shifting is much smooth and hence no problem in this respect. Overall Value for money.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is best. Easy maneauverability and Good control on vehicle.

Final Words A very good introduction of Honda in diesel segment. Generates healthy competition among other manufacturers. A true Hindi saying " Der Aaye  Durust Aaye"

Areas of improvement Ground Clearance must be increased upto 170mm atleast, Dual Horn must be given in Base Models also. AC Fan noise must be reduced, All Colour Options must be made available in Base Models.

Excellent Front and Rear design,especially Rear .,Very Smartly Priced,Geneartes HealthyCompetitionAll Colours Options not available in EMT,EXMT(Last 2 Base models),Waiting Period too long.

Exterior Looks like old 3rd generation honda city. Boot is added nicely to hatchback. From front view looks like B2 class hatchback. From side view & quarter view looks like proper sedan wheelbase is less, so turning is not a problem even in small lanes & conjusted parking. Power exterior mirror folding, first time in class.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Unconvensional dashboard for this class. Seats not comfirtable when comapred to dzire, sail or manza, Cabin has great space.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Even it has 100 BHP, it doesnt rev too much like DDIS engine. So dont expect it to go beyong 160-165 KM/H. Fuel economy is great for disel.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is OK, but having fun like dzire. City dirving is easy. Ride quality is littel bit bumpy on pot holes.

Final Words A great car from Honda which could see more improvement on comfort, interior styling & more features on high end varient. 😊

Areas of improvement Seating comfort, Interior styling, New dashboard, more features like full MID, folding rear seat, automatic climate control, rear fog lamp. Seat belt height adjustment, adjustable head restraints at least on top variant.

Fuel economy, boot space, cabin spaceFeatures, cheap interiors & dashboard, looks is like old honda city
