    Exterior

     I love the exterior make, strong and sturdy for the price.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     very spacious for 5 passengers(including driver). No one has complained so far even when driver's seat is pulled out maximum to back. Dials looks very out dated, there is no "wow" factor at all.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     I have had a very bad experience in this aspect. I use Air conditioning all the time. So it can be because of that but on a highway I have got just 14-15 kmpl and in city I experience the worst, just 10-12kmpl!!. This is definitely not something I had in mind while buying this car. I was misguided by the fuel efficiency and qouted milage of 18kmpl. Also the engine seems to be tuned for maximum efficiency or something because of which the uphills which I used to very easily  climb on 2nd or 3rd gear in my previous car is no more possible. I am forced to shift down to 1st(more often) or 2nd gear for the same uphills now. I find it terribly irritating.

    When it comes to gearbox, I have drove cars with way smoother gear transition.

    Ride Quality & Handling

     With this price one cant expect too comfy seatings right?. So if you are making a journey say of 3 hours, better take a pit stop in between if you dont want to end up with a back pain. Steering the vehicle is comfortable but when you are finding a tough spot in a congested parking lot, you would wish steering were a bit more smooth.

    Final Words

     This car is for the average person who loves to own a decent car from a legacy brand. However dont trust on the milage qouted by the company in their advertisements. No matter how well you drive you will not get it. If you are driving in a very traffic congested place, then I won't recommend this model of Amaze to you. 

    Areas of improvement  

     Nothing other than on the fuel efficiency and engine tuning.
