Thanks to BHPian 5252rpm for sharing this with other enthusiasts.

The Amaze competes with the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Aura, Tata Tigor and Ford Aspire.

The Honda Amaze is set to get a mid-cycle update next month. According to a media report, the car could be launched on August 17, 2021.

What can we expect to see in the updated Amaze?

The Amaze could get minor changes on the exterior, including redesigned bumpers, LED headlights and a set of new alloy wheels. On the inside, the car could receive new seat upholstery and dashboard trim. 

Under the bonnet, the Amaze facelift is likely to get the same engines as before. These include a 1.2-litre petrol engine that makes 89 BHP and 110 Nm and a 1.5-litre diesel producing 99 BHP and 200 Nm. The 5-speed manual and CVT gearbox options are also expected to be retained.

My father and I have collected over 250+ miniature models of common Indian cars over all these years, and I am absolutely in love with our collection.

BHPian CaptainRudy recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I'm just a teenager who's waiting to earn his learner's permit this year. But I'm also a teenager who's super into cars and miniatures! So after lurking here for a long time, I thought I'd finally post this.

My father and I have collected over 250+ miniature models of common Indian cars over all these years, and I am absolutely in love with our collection.

Pictured of a few: my Swift, Alto, Qualis, and yes the classic City and Palio (both among my rarest).

However, I was very disheartened to find out that my family's newest car, the Honda Amaze, had no miniature model available to buy! I knew I had to do something.

So, I set out on a path I had never treaded before. 3D printing.

Now, coming to how I did it. I am a complete amateur at 3D modelling, but decided to go ahead anyway. After spending what was probably 4 or 5 hours watching Blender tutorials on Youtube, I decided I was ready to begin. For those who may not know, Blender is a free, open-source 3D modelling software.

Finally, after spending an unhealthy amount of days (and sleepless nights), my 3D model was ready after all. This is what it looked like:

This ladies and gentlemen, is my first ever 3D model, as well as my first 3D print! One could definitely say I'm more than a "little" proud of it.

The wheels and mirrors had to be attached with glue post-production. Though this model is purely static, I hope to build one which would be more interactive someday.

Coming to the process of actually printing out the product, I sadly did not possess a 3D printer of my own and thus had to get it done from a shop within my city which I found through Google Maps. The process was fairly simple, just had to mail them the file and complete the transaction. The model was delivered the very next day (took about 6 hours to print).

I am very glad about how it turned out, and I thought I should share it here with my fellow BHPians. Suggestions are welcome!

Here's what BHPian Turbojc had to say on the matter:

To sum it up in one word - Amaze-ing!

I too collect scale model cars, and the dearth of India-specific models such as the Amaze is a sad fact. Only Mahindra and Tata offer scale models of their cars. Centy is one manufacturer that makes unlicensed versions of popular Indian cars, but they are more toys rather than models.

I must commend the fact that you did not let unavailability stand in your way of getting one nevertheless. Kudos to you!

Your model looks pretty accurate. Could you walk us through how you measured your car and translated the dimensions to that of your model?

Great job, and keep up the good work!

I bought a Honda Amaze V CVT diesel demo car from the Honda showroom, but the dealer delivered an accidental car with many problems in just 10 months.

Thanks to the Team-BHP fan (he prefers to remain anonymous) who sent this in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with other enthusiasts via Team-BHP's share page!

Car bought on 2 February 2020 - Manufactured in May 2018.

Hello,

I bought a Honda Amaze V CVT diesel demo car from the Honda showroom, but the dealer delivered an accidental car with many problems in just 10 months.

The problems are:

• Rust in more than 20 places on the car.

• 2 holes on the back door (repaired after I complained).

• Lot of rust on the front side door (painted on the rust after I complained).

• Lot of rust on the boot.

• Lot of rust under the bonnet and around the engine.

• They gave me an extended warranty in writing but are not honouring it.

• In just 10 months, the car AC stopped working properly. I visited the showroom 7 times but got no solution.

• In just 10 months, the car battery was damaged. I bought a new battery after I got no response from the company.

• I paid extra money for service manual copy.

In short, the company cheated me and I want to take action on the company.

I complained to Honda many times, but they just passed the message to the local showroom. The showroom called me and told me to visit. I visited 5 to 10 times but they did not give a proper solution.

This is what GTO had to say on the matter:

This is why I don't recommend buying a demo car (or even an ex-media car). Demo cars are:

• Treated like trash.

• 10 people drive it everyday. A year old demo car is easily driven by 300 people.

• It's driven very, very badly. By the dealer's drivers as well as potential car owners who think redlining is the only way to TD a car.

• Demo cars are often used as parts cars for customer cars.

• Their odometers can be disconnected, hence you will never know what the true mileage is.

• Repairs are done in the cheapest manner possible.

• Body work too is done with shortcuts. IMHO, the above car has had accident damage + has had quick patchwork.

Because of all the above points, a 10000 km run demo car is equivalent to a 50000 km run individual owner private car IMHO. Think of a demo car as the dealership's "beater" car. Now imagine how it's treated.

The only car treated as badly as a demo car is a self-drive rental from Zoom Car. Anyone who is open to buying a demo is probably the kind who'll buy an ex-rental car too.
