    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Comfort level is very good for all passengers especially legroom. Diesel NVH is ok. Pl Get diesel CVT all the roads becoming very congested with everincreasing fuel prices. I was using jazz 2015 model petrol MT.In three years of usage my left hip started paining untolarably.Petrol 1.2 MT engine not suitable for city driving you need to use clutch 300 % more than diesel counterpart. My pre jazz- santro was a better car.

    I went with the jaaz in 2015 believing it will be better than santro. Yes its better in comfort seating, looks, and NVH. But believe me Honda 1.2 L Gear ratio at lower speed is pathetic pathetic pathetic. Don't destroy your self by going for petrol manual. My usage is 40-70 Km daily on city. The new Amaze Diesel CVT is eye-opener. Pl Get a diesel version. Its smooth, powerful, comfortable. I got diesel V-CVT costing 10.3 Lakhs.

    But you must know it doesn't have a reverse camera and touch screen.I installed Sony XAV AV 5000 Capacitative touch screen Android auto/Apple carplay system. With Honda Branded Seatcover,Vinyl flooring the price reached 10.70 lakhs. But I feel its worth it. I witnessed a huge tree fell on another Jazz. Directly on top of it and witstood the tree all inmates were safe. Parallaly I seen a maruthi completely destroyed along with lives of inmates. I believe in stong structure and quality of honda that's the premium price. The above I witnessed in Guindy rajbhavan road during cyclone by 2016 dec. Buy Diesel its good.

    Edit: Heavy Screching Noise can be heared occasionally under the chassis. But complaints to the Manasarovar honda porur ignored it also I mentioned it again in the first service but they said nothing abnormal.i Reccorded the noise and shown to them then they found some sim in front right breaking rubs against. After that my Mileage improved dramatially from 11 in city to 17-18 Range.

    One more incident after sim rubbing diagnoise I was told all the tyre pressure was checked and filled with Nitrogen air and pressure checked as soon I started my tpms reported 27 psi from the front right wheel I called them and told I can prove you havent checked all wheels but only front right then they asked apology. also their air filling mechine not calibrated so when they set it for 32 in fills only 27 they blindly belive the display in the mechine and dont have hand held pressure testing. Just pathetinc.

    I confirmed that by checking in tpms as well at a reputed tyre shop. also while releasing the break it moves with a screatch like loose chassis response from the Manasarovar is "OK: like I said "bye" One More incident on Aug 28 Morning while I was about to wash My car in private covered parking lot noticed the 6 inch crack in the Front wind shield. Previous day night I parked the car and not noticed anything on visiting the Manasarovar honda they say it could be due to stone hit but nothing on crack to prove the stonehit. They show a tiny not a needle head size refraction as stone hit.

    All the experianced drivers at my office say it couldbe due to small unbalance in chassis or Heat related crack due to highlevel soundproffing in cabin which will make the crack under heat. I had only insurance (no bumper to bumper) so they wanted to charge 3500 to do under insurance. also the the bodyshop adviser advises me to make the crack more by damaging it with stone. Im sure its the Manufacturing defect but they dont want to take reponcibility and conveniently blames the customer. Also when we stop and move I could hear a metal noise like whole body is loosly fit on the chassis.

    Still I cant believe the Honda canbe so much bad experiance. its lot a way below my previous experiance with Jazz 2015. My suggesstion Hold your Buying ideas till they sortout. My Phone 9-3-8-0-X-X-X-X-X-X My car No is T-N-1-X-X-X-X-X-X. The Horrible service dealer is called Manasarovar Porur.While i should appriciate Sales at the same point is EXCELLENT. Thank you Rajkumar.
