I have a feeling the next gen jazz with a diesel under 4m will be the next big thing from Honda rather than the city. | |

| ![]() I visited the Honda dealership yesterday, as the initial rush is subsidising. There are lot of people who are ready to move from Swifts/ DZires to the Amaze... talk brand equity & diesel (25.8 kmpl mileage) craze. There were few CAs (my profession) to. So I guess this car is VFM in their opinion too. The fact that it is 2.5 lacs to 3.5 lacs cheaper than the City (Variant on variant basis) is a compelling factor in itself. I found the whole package Amazing ![]() I the front footwell is spacious, & family/ group of 5 tall people won't have much complaint travelling in the car. The boot though rated 400L is appears a tight squeeze for the claimed capacity (City'a appeared almost 1.5 times bigger). I felt it is as good as Sail's boot. The interior quality is acceptable & comparable to segment leader, but the Chocolate colour is bit garish IMO, & will last a longer period before the orchestra (rattling) starts. But, I feel the Beige colour could be a challenge to maintain in this segment. The rear seat was as soft as Swift/ Dzire's rear seat, unlike the harder bench in my Santro Xing. And, it can easily 3 accommodate average built persons in the rear seat (contrary to what somebody else has suggested earlier). Summing up, this is a worthy competition to DZire & the VW siblings, which seemingly was used as benchmark for this car, only if Honda noes not face capacity constraint in the future. I would, however, prefer City over this, as the quality is bit better in City, & the waiting period would be considerably lower. Moreover, cars like Verna & City appear to be a segment higher as compared to the class they are categorised. Only problem was the wait for haughty or too busy SA to approach humble looking people, & their callous attitude in not asking my contact details, when I started to leave the dealership ![]() |

But reliability and quality arent the only criteria to judge a vehicle. Vehicles like Xylo,XUV and even Aria (after the price cut) offer a good deal. Just because there isnt a second Innova in the market doesnt mean that what ever price they ask for is good value. Quote:
Sumo Grande has more metal, more seats,more AC vents and more heavy duty parts compared to Amaze. Where is the comparison ? Quote:
Innova has seen a price hike of more than Rs 2 lakhs in recent times for hardly any differentiation from the original. Rise in raw material cost cannot be the only excuse. Thats clear cut case of manufacturer juicing out of demand for the vehicle. Some say buying Innova is an investment. It is for those who got vehicle for its original price and post the hike in price the resale value has gone up. Similarly Fortuner has seen price hike which definitely isnt exactly justified. We are going off topic. We can further discuss on this matter in some appropriate thread. Last edited by Turbokick : 29th April 2013 at 13:41. | |||

![]() Autocar India did mention about the fact how the launch time gets affected as the idle rpm is limited till 2000 rpm only. The result is the dzire being quicker to 80 kmph and mere 0.43 secs slower to 100 kmph. 0-130 is a different ball game though. Amaze is 3.2 secs quicker which is significant thanks to those extra 25 horses. Numbers dont always tell the true story as driveability to be honest cannot be judged from these numbers. Amaze's in city behavior is its stongest point. Interestingly ingear acceleration and top speed of dzire is also better than amaze as per Autocar. Amaze vs Dzire (in secs) 20-80(3rd gear) : 13.53 vs 11.80 40-100(4th gear) : 15.09 vs 13.71 Topspeed : Amaze : 140 kmph (electronically limited) Dzire : 168 kmph As expected Amaze is more efficient but dzire isnt too far away. Fuel economy : City : 14.6 (dzire) vs 15.2 (amaze) Highway : 19.4 (dzire) vs 20.4 (amaze) Even though idtec has got far superior power : ratio, ddis isnt exactly a tortoise. Either Amaze is tuned more for economy or ddis is more than what its specs suggest. There is no doubt that Honda's bigger and more powerful idtec has got clear advantage over DDiS engine but when viewed in isolation, a technically 10 year old engine (multijet, that is) still is quite competent and good. Refinement and reliability are like cherry on the top. | |

| ![]() Time is transient. How true!!! Never thought that one fine day, Maruti will have richer interiors and a Honda will be humbled on this aspect. Maruti tried to up the ante with moving from utilitarian image to a relative upmarket sedan. Honda lowered their guard as far as interiors are concerned from "luxurious Honda" to "still a Honda" to beat the leader at its own game. Thats what market can do. Bless the competition!!! |

| ![]() Is there a reason why the top speed is limited to 140 km/hr ?? |
