Overall
It seems like Honda has almost nailed it with the new Amaze. The Amaze looks amazingly well proportioned for a compact sedan, has a gem of a diesel engine, has surprisingly spacious interiors, a big boot and is priced pretty well too. The Amaze can surely do with better NVH and some more features but these shouldn’t be a deal breaker for prospective buyers.
However, it is surprising to note that after receiving a really warm welcome (the Amaze garnered 22000 bookings within three weeks of its launch), the excitement around the new Honda has somewhat mellowed down. What is really puzzling is that here is a car which is looking all set to re-write the rules of small sedan market and yet, sales performance of the Amaze shows that the car buying lot is yet to wake up to the idea of a budget end, small Honda sedan. We believe that with the Amaze, the Honda has the right ingredients for yet another bestseller. Don’t be too ‘amazed’ if Amaze manages to soon climb its way to the top of the sales charts of small sedan segment.

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
