We bought our Honda Amaze in 2014 since we travel at least a 100 km every day to and from work and are very happy with it. It looks truly amazing from the outside and the interiors are comfortable. The only problem I see is that it is quite noisy inside. Perhaps Honda is yet to perfect their diesel model otherwise driving it is smooth and effortless.
It gives ileage between 15-23 km/hr which is decent though not great! My husband states that the steering is powered and easy to maneuver. If you are a first time buyer you should definitely opt for it especially if you drive on the highway daily back and forth from work. Also, Honda as a brand is known for their safety features, alloy wheels and engine durability. Even if you are looking to switch to a hatchback Honda Amaze is a good buy.
