Honda Amaze [2013-2016] User Reviews

Exterior Decent styling overall

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Instead of having cup holders all over, could have made space to store other items.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Petrol engine is quite and suspenstion is good. Gear ratio is good.

Ride Quality & Handling I prefer to ride around city with no issues of sneaking in traffic and easy U-turn, Amaze is good at this.

Final Words Although cost is not a factor for me to buy big sedan, I wanted to drive atleast 30 kms daily to work and in the traffic. I like to drive and get ahead of other vehicles in the traffic, so I wanted medium/small size sedan, also I have past experience driving Toyota and Honda cars in US, I like Honda cars for good pickup and suspension. I have been driving Amaze for 7 days now, except fews cosmetic issues (Horn, attached head rests), I like Amaze for compact and engine power along with Honda brand.

I'm disappointed that for the money paid for S variant, airbags should have been included.

Areas of improvement Horn, Detach the head rest from seats, Storage space, Include airbags as standard.

ride comfort, good turning radius, rear space, low noise levelinferior Horn sound, head rest attached seats, no airbags in S

Exterior As compared to other comparative sedans, it has awesome exteriors. A new generation car, ample of boot space and the fascinating Majestic Blue colour I purchased. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Enough of leg space, it surely adds to comfort of all. Five adults can very easily occupy the rear seat. Cup holders add on to luxury of this car. Interiors though don't seem to be expensive kind, but as far as other features are good, certainly quality of interiors don't pinch hard.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Smooth gearbox, I was not accustomed to any geared vehicle and was bit scared to handle one with Amaze. But changing the gear with this car is quite easy, quite smooth slide.

Ride Quality & Handling Driving Amaze is my new PASSION.

Final Words On Indian roads, Honda, Hyundai & Maruti ar ethe only three brand names I can rely upon. It was basically the exteriors and Honda brand name that I cancelled booking of Dzire n went for Amaze even without giving a second thought to it.

Areas of improvement NA.

Good style, Excellent Pick Up, Smooth driveNot so expensive interiors

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Pooer fule economy.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words Honda car is made to be insured by any insurance firm and also asked every owner to take the extended warantee. Is Honda not confident of their quality ? As per the adverisement, it is maintenance free car. The parts damaged can be repleced and the cost will be borne by the insurance company. Then why extended warantee anf isnurance for the car owner ? 

Areas of improvement The mileage is only 14.6 kmpl against promise of 18 kmpl. Visited service centre many times for low mileage. Everytime, they just cleaned the air filter and showed the mileage is 18 kmpl. Daily one can clean the air filter or frequently change the air filter as the Honda cars are maintenance free. It seems the air filter provided in Amaze is faulty. This need to be given more focus by the Honda.

Bad fuel economyspacious

Exterior Awesome Exteriors. My family fall in love we first saw it on 26th March,2013.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfortable seats, Space is seen everywhere, Lots of Bottole Hoders, Hight of Seat is Adjustable, No adjustable Head rests but I never needed those when on a Drive for about 1 hour.

Dash board is basic. Doesn't looks ugly but if it could have been sloped toward the Front Windsheild it would have been more useful as you tend to place objects in your hand at the Dashboard. I placed the Gift back given by the Showroom there but it was constantly sliding down. Fronts seats have lots of leg room, even if the seats are moved forward. Rear seats too very spacious and comfortable. Boot space is more then needed for an average family of 4-5 members.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very smooth, At Ideal condition I sometime miss jugded that Its off. Its silent. Steering is also Light and smooth, for the first time car owner I was very easily making the hard turns.

Gears are not super smooth but Smooth and I don't feel that this matters much.

Fuel Economy:

Plains:  Distance: 156Km including city driving and 10 km Hill driving. --- 18.2 Km/lt.

Hills: Distance 186km:---- 16.3 km/lt.

 

Ride Quality & Handling I will rate it 5 stars.

Final Words Guys go for it if you need more space inside and boot, Modern looks outside. Otherwise a cheaper option is Dzire VX model in compared to Amaze SMT-iVTEC (in Uttarakhand). As I am surpriced that the ex showroom price difference is about 15k more where else it only 2.5k in Brio model.

Areas of improvement Dash board. SMT-ivtech should be more cheaper. ABS should be offered in this S-MT petrol also for the price difference it has to the top model.

Exterior looks, Interior Space, Smooth Driving, Milage, Its a HondaDash Board Simple, Pricier then Dzire, Price difference in Uttarakhand Is too much.

Exterior Good design. much better than Competition.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Ample Space. Very Bad front seat.worse than an auto. Basic features availble. All road noise creeps in so on long trips u will get irritated. Even in city One wil get iritated as there is no insulation for engine noise or for noise on road.Wonder how Honda allowed such low quality car to be launched in its brand name.

Ride Quality & Handling Very very poor. Decided not to use his car for trips outside city limits. suspention is very bad. There is almost no noise insulation. Amazed to see all the engine noise audible inside the car!!when it rain it seems as if u are sitting below a tin roof.

Final Words Not at all Amazed. Feel cheated. Very pathetic dealer service further aggrevates the problem.

Areas of improvement Except the ample space inside there are lot of problems wih this car specially suspention, noise insulation, front seat wih no upper back support, music system is also pathetic.

Good Space and DesignExtremely Poor Suspention, Noise Insulation, Front seat

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.

Space, comfort.Interior

Exterior

 This is very good

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 V. Good except the old style music systems nd this also without CD player system. This need to be changed with others like in New Honda City. I think this is only major point to discard. Rear A.C. vent is also needed. Place & style of Port for USB is also very funny. Is mind not applied for  that?

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Best, soundless. Gearbox is also very good.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Easy to drive. Wide window is helpful for lookout the beauty of nature. 

Final Words

 Needed some minor changes which should be, this is good quality car. Boot space is sufficient.

Areas of improvement  

 

As this car is coming in good price range,  the area of interior needs to improve with matching the quality and hence my only strong suggestion to change the music system with latest one with a system for  CD player and port for USB. If there will be provision for rear A.C. vent, this will like CHAAR CHAND.

V.Good fuel economy, almost interior is good. Back seat space is Excellent, arms rest is useful.Music system in Amaze is very awkward nd not matched with this quality car, rear A.C. vent needed.

Exterior

 Good, but thin sheet metal used, especially fender is too thin that even by small press it gets bend. Door handles are hard to open, new person opening door feels doors are locked and requests to unlock.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Good space and comfort but power windows have little uneven surface can be felt by human touch and not by naked eyes, small noise comes from dashboard or air vents.  Seat belt always creates creaky noise when riding on bumpy roads. Loose bolts in the boot space, noise from the small cabin space(where small items / dockets are kept) below dashboard on left. The design is pathetic and on bumps creates noise.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

engine  performance is good, but gearbox is way too bad. 1st and 2nd gear are hard to shift and in cold conditions even gets worse

Mileage: 13.5 kmpl in city, 18 kmpl on highway at approx 80kmph speed (Amaze S petrol)

Ride Quality & Handling

Doesn't feel like riding a sedan car. Honda Amaze is a big disappointment.

Safety

No Safety features like no alarm on door lock / unlock

Final Words

 Honda Amaze has to do a lot in gears transmission, improve quality of parts used. I don't recommend anyone who is particular on minute details of car and more importantly GearBox Transmission of car which I mentioned above

Service

Dealership doesn't accept the problem and always try to convince and the issues are still pending. I reported the gerbox issue and more than 6 months now it is not resolved.

Areas of improvement  

 Gear box Transmission, Improve quality of door handles, fitment of all parts to be proper.

 

Space, exterior styling, silent engineGearBox transmission hard, noise from cabin space, thin sheet metals for body, door handles hard

 Hi everybody!!!

I purchased a new Amaze (Petrol) on date 08.06.2014. The car is nice becoz of HONDA name attached with it and few things that i felt was necessary as a third model 1.2 SMT i-vtech are fog lights, driver side door lock key and flexible head rest, MP3 player not available, automatic door lock in only one key and  very important that they gave me the car in just as available condition just after cleaning and without any decoration and ribbons etc. Everybody at home was so disappointed that i cann't tell. I was felling cheated and really bad from inside.

Moreover story is that when i asked for the decoration and ribbons on the new vehicle then the senior person above executive replied that they don't even do anything like this while it was partiality from their side coz i have seen two cars decorated while i was at showroom for sales enquiry a month ago.

I request everybody to take care of their vehicle by themselves or confirm first before delivery coz after delivery they are not gonna listen a single word from ur side coz the caer has sold to u already now bear with it.

The car is nice with few shortcomings as i felt and if i ignore the behaviour of Honda staff which was careless and rude and also made me waited for more than 2 hrs. for delivery even after prior date n time.
