Honda Amaze [2016-2018] User Reviews

I bought Honda amaze in Mar 2014 and completed 57000Kms till now. Poor quality shockers, clutch plate, brakes, brake plate. So far I have got following things changed:

Front brake pads- 4 times Cost: 4 X Rs.2800 + Labour charge(LC).

Clutch plates- need replacement: Cost Rs. 17000 (approx) + LC.

Front Shockers- both replaced: Cost Rs.2500(approx)+LC.

Brake plate- both replaced: Cost Rs. 1200 each + LC.

And after getting all of these replaced my car still have noise.

The customer service is also disastrous. Nothing mentioned above is replaced under warranty. Honda doesn't seem to support their customers. Even after so many complaints and mails to the customer relations department there is no support. I have also taken extended warranty. DON'T EVER TAKE EXTENDED WARRANTY. They say only manufacturing defect is covered and that too depends on service center discretion. They wont change anything under warranty. I have heard customer relations department's response for Hyundai even Maruti responds and treats customer complaints seriously but not HONDA. This was really surprising. Please be advised and choose HONDA at your own risk.

Exterior The exterior of the car is good and looks bulky and sporty.I would not say best but its better than its competitors like Toyota Etios & Swift Dzire.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are decent and space is good. The company fitted music system is pretty good and gives you nice sound.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Worst engine I could have say, The Engine is poened twice during 40K km onse the complete engine got ceased and once head of the engine god choked. The engine parts has no reliability at all. The sound level of the car is extremely high and unbearable inside the cabin. The car even struggles to reach the speed of 90km and makes too much of noice at such a trival speed. Another worst thing is the clutch of the car which makes noise on and off.

Good economy of around 20-25 even in city driving conditions but no driving please at all. At small gears the car make huge noise and it feels that you are driving a truck.

Ride Quality & Handling Worst ride quality as engine makes so much of noise. The pick up of the car is worst and even small cars will overtake you. Never think of competing with swift or dezire or etios if you are driving amaze as you will never be able to reach good speed.

Final Words Please do not buy Honda amzae diesel.Please do not waste your hard earned money.

I am not saying due to any personal anonimity but since I have drove other cars as well I can very well say that IT WILL BE A BIG MISTAKE IF YOU BUY THIS CAR.

Areas of improvement Engine is biggest drawback of this car.

Exterior Exterior is nice infact best in class nice curvey looks spoty stance.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Vey bland interior could have been better.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Nice smooth on highways and nice and easy in city but engine make a noise like a truck.

Ride Quality & Handling Ohh man I think u have adjusted cycls supention in car ,sometime i feel like I m driving a cart ,and not to forget your 25.8 kmpl claim i never goat a milege above 18 in city and above20 on highway ,and service cost 2 paid services and those cost me 9000 each. interior is do bland that it gives a feeling of like maruti 800 or alto. Light at city speeds and weighs up really well at highway speeds. You will feel like pushing it harder.

The best part of Honda amaze in terms of Practicality is its turning radius. Hard to believe that it is only 4.5 mts (less than Alto 800). You can tease other cars on the roads ;)

The air conditioning is super awesome and I need not comment on the tried and tested legendary Ivtec motor. Its a gem of an engine.

Final Words A good car for a family man.

Areas of improvement Suspention should be improved and plese do somethng to that noise its too loud yaar and better plastic for the interior.

This car is well designed by Honda has nice curves😉.Ample space inside and 400 liters boot space is more than enough,Full aluminium 1498 CC IDtec engine is very good, smooth riding on 2000 Rpm and very good milage around 20kmpl in city and 24kmpl on highway on full AC iam maintaning tyre pressure 32PSI forboth front and back. Engine is powerful, it gives a boost when needed specially on hilly areas and overtakes. you can feel the power at 1500Rpm Honda Never lets you down in terms of performance. Ride quality is superb nice suspension, very good interior, powerful AC, handling is awesome. The only problem I have faced is the ground clearance and little bit engine noise inside the cabin. (But Itne paise mein itna ich milega yaar)😊. Amaze so far for me is absolutely amazing I have driven 14000Kms.

Its a value for money. If anybody wants to go for an entry level sedan in India you should go for it.

Exterior Good. Lookwise as the name suggests its amazing.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All good exept for the leg space. Sufficient boot space. The leg space is less compared to that of jazz. i think the leg space can be exteneded to make it more comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good,mileage seems to be abit of issue. Gear box is fine. I have been using it for 2 years and the mileage is very less.

Ride Quality & Handling Nice and easy. Good for family. The back space is a bit conjusted once three adults sit. Width can  be increased for it. Its 1680 which can be increased to 1705.

Final Words Value for money if you are looking for semi sedan car. Need to have its width increased. A bit here and there and this car will rock india roads.

Areas of improvement Need more leg space. Mileage seems top be a bit of issue.

Exterior: I would there are better looking cars in the market, however it is a practical buy with decent looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Space is awesome. A lot of leg room, can easily fit 5 full grown people. Music system is good too, it only lacks a bluetooth (As I own 2015 model, facelift has it I Guess). Seats are comfy, especially the back seats. 4 big bottle holders in all 4 doors. Biggest boot space in its class. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Now, this is the best part. I read many reviews where people say the engine is not good or they are not getting enough power. I would say if you are upgrading from a petrol car, taht too a 1000CC or 1200CC then you have to change your dricing style and learn to drive a diesel car. You don't need to use the race in first 2 gears. The torque is awesome and it moves awesomely, you just need to release the clutch. I drove it on 140KM/H and it was effortless. As far as noise is concerned the model before 2015 had high noise issues, but fortunately 2015 model onwards has very less noise coming to the cabin. Fuel economy is best in calss too. I always drive with AC on and it gives me 21-22KMPL in city conditions and I clocked 26.8KMPL while driving on highway. There is a green light which comes when you are driving in Eco mode, more the light you see, more is the mileage. 

Ride Quality & Handling: Again, best in class. Only aspire is comparable to the ride quality. Turning radius is the least in segment I guess. I simply love to drive my car. Suspensions are good. Till date I have driven it around 26K in 2 years and I have no complaints.  

Final Words: A good buy indeed. If you love to drive and passionate about your vehicle, buy Honda Amaze. 

Areas of improvement: Interiros might be better. However, in this money they are offering it as per the industry.   

Exterior Good exteriors no complaints but could have been better specially when you compare with Hyundai and what competitors has to offer in same similar price range.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) With aircraft style seats space is good and comfortable, audio control on steering wheel is a good option which keeps your attention on road even while driving. thou leather wrapped steering wheel should be a standard option to built better grip while turning.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is not strong when it comes to 1.5L diesel, Switft desire in 1.2L Diesel generates same HP and same pick up, i20 in 1.4L has more pick up better mileage and more speed Amaze has speed lock set at 145 so if you like to speed Amaze is not an option.

Ride Quality & Handling Good ride, nice handling.

Final Words Try i20 and Fiat Linea before making your choice and choose wisely.

Areas of improvement Speedometer shows maximum speed of 180 kmph while unnecessary speed lock set by honda at 145kmph.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Brake pads and discs deteriorating rapidly. Changed twice in 2 years. I have kept 3 other cars, santro and accent never faced this problem ever in years. Honda city never faces these issues of cheap brittle parts. Clearly seems why amaze is priced low compared to honda city. but compared to Hyundai cars in same range, Amaze has no stand when it comes to strenght and robust nature of hyundai cars.

Areas of improvement Service centres are just not doinng their work. specifically Naraine honda service centre. This time I tried mangolpuri service centre and they just hiked the bill to approx 17000 rupees. Still have to check the quality as I am going to pick up the car today.

It has been just two years when i purchased this new car of approx 7.7 lakh rupees and this much maintainence. [[[Who says honda is a low maintenance car?]]].
