Ride and Handling
The Honda Amaze boasts of a MacPherson strut suspension setup at front and torsion beam setup at rear. The Amaze can handle most of the craters quite well and will keep the passengers in comfort on majority of kinds of roads that we generally drive on. However, the car does seem uncomfortable when dealing with sharp irregularities. Unlike what we experienced when testing the new Octy recently, the Amaze’s suspension doesn’t have too much of clatter on offer. However, thanks to below par NVH levels, a lot of road noise, along with some wind noise, filters into the cabin.
Quite unsurprisingly, the Amaze comes with an Electric Power Steering. However, it does weigh up sufficiently as speeds rise. The steering is very direct, and along with the small diameter, makes the drive all the more sporty. The car is pretty sure-footed and doesn’t disappoint when you are in a mood to play the lane splitter.
Overall, the Amaze definitely is among some of the better handling Honda sedans we have driven and only the most enthusiastic of drivers would complain of the steering being not sufficiently heavy or accurate. Handling stands at par with the class. However, you shouldn’t think of this humble compact sedan as a tool cut out to carve corners. It’s good for its class but doesn’t quite match up with the poise of the bigger, heavier machines from higher segments.

Well…The Amaze was designed & Tested purely against Dzire.
Hence it can be said that the Dzire was the benchmark which Honda tried to capture in Amaze.
What Amaze misses the most are
1.Dashboard features.
2.High on Noise Level from Engine.
3.Auto Door Lock(most Important).
4.AC vent setup.
Indeed a problem. There is nothing wrong with the Dzire. Go ahead with it unless you like the Amaze a lot more than the Dzire
Friend should I go for Amaze or Swift Dezire problem is the honda dealer will be 120 km away from my place in hilly area
