      Its my first car and someone else drove it to my house for delivery so now you know how much I know about driving .. Having said that, i researched for almost 2 years and seen plenty reviews on Youtube. I was utterly confused what to buy for my first car. Well if you know how to drive then probably you can make some choice by driving the test vehicles, however all the test drive pieces are tuned up so you won’t get what you have tested. So it’s not always about how the vehicle drives in your test drive. And for this particular vehicle, even reviews were not available from any of the reliable sources. In utter dilemma I just decided to look for three things:

      Company Reputation, Specs on Paper, My own Instinct and you know what, it did paid me to own one!

      I am a former employee of a Japanese Company and for sure i know that they do what they say. And they do it for the name they carry rather than money they charge.

      So all in all, it was a calculated risk at the time of purchase.

      Read on for a detailed review.

      Exterior Its not a merc but how dare you even dream to own a merc in 5.85L. What you get is "the best character lines, from chrome grill and a well-integrated boot". Its way better than bestselling swift desire (snapped on boot over a reluctant swift) or Hyundai Xcent (Its even crampier than a hatchback) or Tata Zest (hey ! its Tata man, how dare you expect anything sportier than a 407 truck).

      And you know what, even in the lowest model EMT, they won’t give a ugly cutout for fog lamps. The front bumper is purely pristine, without any cheap cuts/grooves. 

      So, it is the best looking car in sub 4 meter sedan category. mark my words, Honda did a great job in styling the car and they nailed it in a big way.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) You sit inside and first thing you notice is the space. The cabin is sound proof and very comfortable. Seats are with good back & thigh support. Two tone beige interiors , all 4 power window, power steering, central lock, leather seat covers is standard even for the lowest version. 

      The instrument panel is the simplest one and literally they give nothing in EiMT. Which I purchased. Well its a blessing in disguise as I spent some 18k for AVN, 1k for Reverse cam,900 Rs for wheel cap, 3k for 3d Mats & 1K for Remote keyless entry and vola! Its even sportier than a fully loaded Zest for fraction of pricing. If you sit inside my Amaze E MT, i bet you will ask from where i purchased the stuff. Well just a hint though. God made human and rest is all made in china.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I dont know much about engines but having said that, it picks the whole vehicle nicely, never runs out of power even on 2nd gear and AC on. The gear stick never vibrates, so it has a very refined petrol engine and a very silent cabin. I am drawing 14.5 to 15.5 Kmpl in city  driving. I know you would throw this in disbelief but tell you what, just try to drive the car so that the ECO light is always on and you would see it will give even higher mileage. Its not a nano so dont expect 25 kmpl.

      Ride Quality & Handling It is indeed a pleasure to drive this peppy vehicle. I learnt how to drive a car in this very vehicle. The steering wheel gives you confidence while on road. The handling is perfect. Recently I have driven a Hyundai grand i10 and felt like tumbling at the sharp turn. Desire gives you a feel like you are towing a mini truck. 

      The longest trip i did was of 200 Kms and i know its nothing. But what I learnt is, it creates a sense of confidence on road and want you to love driving. You won’t get tired by driving it and that’s what matters to me.

      Final Words Its a very nice car with very balanced profile, It has a nice & peppy engine, lighter curb and spacious cabin. Engine immobilizer, power windows, power steering, dual tone interiors, a very powerful AC and the name Honda. I just admire it whenever I drive it.

      So for the non-so-known, non geeky, regular office going, low on budget fellows, I say just go for it. Forget about regrets, you will love it to drive and people envy you for owning a Honda in less than 6 Lakhs.

      Areas of improvement I wish Honda could give more accessories for the Car. I would have fitted a power assisted side mirrors. :)

      Class Apart, Zero Noise cabin, Huge interior space, simple yet classy styling, nice handling,Finding accessories is difficult, Long waiting list

      Exterior I have spent some 55000 rupees on accessories. The cooling tint having 80 percent UV absorption looks great for the white amaze and also i have included some chrome finish on the handles.

       

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are good and decent but could be better. Te front passengers have the best comfort. The rear passengers do have the comfort but its okay and decent for the small sized sedan.... I would say its not bad.... Having a boot of 400 l a big advantage....

       

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox When the engine is Honda you dont have to ask for anything or even think about the engine when it comes to Honda petrol engines.

       

      Ride Quality & Handling The best part about this car is the ride quality. Its very smooth and quality handling. You can ride smoothly. You can also have a rough ride but you may have to shift gears up and down during overtakes as the rpm and torques are brilliantly packaged and you cant really rely on too much of power or too much of mileage... Its very well balanced to give you the kind of ride quality.

       

      Final Words  A good car for a 4 or 5 member family who would like to have a small sedan. People who find it diffficult to drive big cars or who dont have the parking space in their home or people who feel they dont want to spend too much on a complete sedan or people instead of getting a hatch for 5 lakh they can get this lovely car at a reasonably good pricing. if you wanna go with a petrol car and if your budget falls between 5.5-6.5 lakhs then i bet you Amaze is the same bet and its the best for its pricing.....I have added many accessories as i wish for .... Its best to add the accessories which u want rather than going for the higher hand models... Its ok to spend a 50k on accessories to put the right speakers and right accessories which u will use ... For a 1.2 L engine ABS AIRBAGS are not really necessary is your highway usage is not more than 5-6 times per year..... Amaze a wonderful package .....

       

      Areas of improvement  I would only ask Honda to improve on the features that they provide along with the vehicle. And the interior looks can be improved and they can by default make chrome finishes by adding a few to the pricing and make the car look even more cooler.... Mileage not an issue but for Indians it is necessary so they can work on that if needed.... Features can be added to make it good....

       

       

      Honda petrol engine, Value for money, SpaceInteriors, mileage could be better. Features can be added.

      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.

      Exterior

       Looks Good and is impressive, sleek

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

       Fittings not up to the mark but space is good. Seats could have been better.

      Some things like mats should have been included.

       

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       Engine is silent. Not fuel economical

      Ride Quality & Handling

       Smooth ride and good on highway. though while overtaking, one can feel the lack of engine power

      Final Words

      we expect much when we buy from Honda. This offering has room for improvement and is much compromised just to bring down cost and cater to a new middle segment between Brio and City.

      Areas of improvement  

       Fuel efficiency: must give 14 in city run as claimed and 20 on highway

      Fittings like side mirrors should be better; with notches so that they do not change position at the slightest touch.

      Should include mats and other basics. This car is completely stripped; one has to buy everything.

       It appears that we are apying for the brand and not much else.

      Looks good and is very silent.Very bad mileage: 11.4 in city and 16.6 on the highway

      Car is Smooth in running and spacious legroom and fun driving. Although Average is low. Safety standards like ABS and EBD should have been in Old Amaze in Base model Like E model. New Amaze 2018 have everything in Base model Great job Honda! Thumbs up. Air conditioner is working great in all Honda cars!

      I was upgrading my hatchback car and was looking for a 6 lac budget sub 4 metre compact sedan. The Honda amaze was a very good option which has all the features like power steering, power windows, excellent boot space, decent mileage, stylish looks and good performance and that too at a very nominal price range. Very little maintenance charges for a year. Overall value for money.
