Honda Amaze VX i-DTEC Ownership Review

[vishnu vichu]

Problem? I didn't get you mate?



Actually New Dzire looks grows on you after some time and most would start liking it. I got this comments from many New Dzire owners. But in my opinion old Dzire looked much better and also had a large boot compared to new one. I went for Dzire Tour LDi only because of this reason. 460L of boot space for placing couple of subwoofers and still lots of space left for luggage usage.

I think Amaze has much more powerful engine than Dzire and also is very quick compared to Dzire. But Amaze has terrible interiors not worthy of 9L price tag and Honda's unknown service costs for their first diesel car in India are the negatives. (Parts availability will be another issue)

i just don't like the turbo lag region that's it


and well with the availability of parts, as per the showroom guys, they said it won't be taking too much of delay. and yes amaze's interior would've been better

Availability of parts can be judged only after car gets 1-2 years old in Indian market. Showroom guys have rarely been honest na?

A friend of mine had a different experience sourcing parts for his Jazz. His car had met with a minor accident and it was in service center in Trivandrum for more than 2 months due to unavailability of certain parts. Situation might have changed now. Don't know as i have never been to their showroom so can't comment about it myself.

DIY on Broken ORVM Indicator

Had Once Posted about my ORVM indicator being broken by a stupid truck Driver on his carelessness and was trying for a permanent way out of it without actually getting the ORVM replaced by shelling some K's of money and finally it ended up in another DIY

As i was Doubhtful about the warranty norms , first i went to svc to make it clear that nothing will happen to my warranty and later asked themselves for removing the ORVM cap









The Broken ORVM indicator







Tools Required :


Flat File Tool



M - Seal



Foam Board



Spray Paint Can



Water Paper for sanding and shaping M - Seal




Let The Work Begin :


Clean the surface of the ORVM with cotton waste


Place the Foam Board in the Broken Area



Use duct tape to wrap it around



Place The M -Seal on the Foam Board , try shaping it to the surface of the indicator







Apply first layer of Primer coating



Wait till it get's dry





Remove the Duct Tape and shape M-Seal using the Flat File Tool

No Pictures of the shaping process because my hand was too dirty



Seal it with Duct Tape again and Spray another Layer of Primer Coating



Finally Color it with your desired color
Here I've used black so that it won't be an eyesore



Remove the Duct Tape

TADAHHHHH !!
