Exterior Look: Is very Good
Interior Look: Interior look is good
Advantage:
1) Good Power 98 BHP
2) Honda Amaze – Diesel comes with ABS and EBD breaking
3) Fuel average in city is 14 kms & highway is 18 kms.
4) NVH Level: RPM meter helps in synchronizing the gears, so that you get maximum fuel efficiency. When you shift to 1st gear you can pull your car to 1500 RPM. On 1500 RPM shift to 2nd gear. Then on every 2000 RPM change gear so you don’t strain the engine. Only in climbing you can pull it to 2500 RPM. Most of the time eco lite will be on and average and engine life will be good. People talk about high NVH level and the drive is very smooth. People who say NVH is high, well they are idiots. I have never heard high NVH so no complaints so far.
Dis-advantage:
1) Insurance: Don’t buy insurance from Honda. Insured Declared Value and cover is low. Insurance cover like Road side assistance has to be bought separately from Honda. But if you buy Bajaj Insurance it covers road side assistance and more. your IDV value should be 6, 50000/-+ driver cover+ passenger cover of 1 lakh each+ towing facility+ lock and key replacement
2) Music System: Music system Provided by Honda: 2 Din music system is bad. No CD /DVD player, No SD card slot. It is limited to USB and AUX. Understanding that number of people buying CDs has reduced but at-least they should have considered SD card provision and reverse camera provision and Map option
3) Extended Warranty: Don’t buy extended warranty you will save 6800/-. As in 1st & 2 yrs. of Honda warranty you will learn whether the engine is perfect or defective. The next extended warranty is covered by the dealer and not by Honda India. During the 2 yrs. Warranty, if you feel that you still want to go for an extended warranty before the expiry of your original Honda warranty, you can buy it.
4) Charging Socket: In Honda Amaze EMT and EXMT you do not get charging point. The roadside shopkeepers with a dual harness pull out a charging point FRO, THE AUDIO SOCKET. The 1st point goes to the deck and 2nd goes to the charging point. Both consume 12 amps each from single wire that has 12 amp( single) fuse. Honda can void warranty with such alteration. And please avoid cigarette lighter for sure, as it requires 15 amps. In such a scenario, it`s better to by SMT petrol or diesel.
5) Wheel Caps: You cannot fit wheel cap in base variant. Very Very Sad.
