Honda Amaze VX i-DTEC Ownership Review

[chsrdeepu8]

Yes. That's what they quote me here. You can also verify by checking with the dealer's there. If you can do that, if there is any change in price difference please update it here

Contacted Pride Honda in Hyderabad.
The person on the phone said there is no way that we can install Mobilio Headlights to Amaze.

And if we still wanted to go for similar type, then they can do it for 32k and 6 months warranty.

Found the below link in the forum who also got the stock lights of Citi changed to projector lights for 34k from local accessory shop in Hyderabad. Will try to get the details from him. http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/ownership-reviews/17969-vasantha-ashtra-honda-city-i-dtec-2014-golden-brown-3.html

34k for retrofitting is too much. Even branded stuff like Morimoto projector + 55W HID with 2 year warranty comes at 10-12k a pair and installation max 2-3k. Add the ugly DRL, angel/demon eyes, fancy bensel, max 20k. Vichu knows exactly how much

Amze/Brio/Mobilio share the same headlight, so fitting the RS light is not an issue. Might have to make custom couplers, that's the max headache you have.

Even the 55W Bi-Xenon Morimotos was costing only around 10-12k s @deville_56 already mentioned. Spending 34K is way too high when comparing it's not a direct fitment and a local work.

On the RS headlamps , Wait on.. Amaze is soon getting one

My Amaze has covered 27k kms. Which has been a mix of highway and city drives..
Since my last service, I am noticing some squealing sound from the brakes. The service engineer had pressed for a caliper lubrication and disc rounding(even though I did not feel any problem while driving) Though I do not get this sound every time I hit the brakes but I do hear very mild squealing sound once every 10-15 times I brake. The sound is audible only when it is very silent outside and the driver window is open..

Could it be an indication of a brake pad replacement?

In general, if I have to go for a brake pad replacement, should I get this done from the ASS or aftermarket? I am asking this as I have heard several stories about unsatisfactory quality of Amaze brakepads from ASS

My brake pads worn out at 23k kms, and i would doubt that it's the sound from the pads itself.
Make sure you check it asap, or else the rotors will get damaged.
I would recommend changing it from any Honda ASS itself just because there was having some problems with the brake pads and they are saying it is being rectified.
Even though if any problem happens after the brake pad change, it would be effective for a warranty replacement, only if you done the job on ASS.

Insist on a warranty replacement and get it done for free as the labor charges too are very high . The whole thing works out to be just under 5000 . New brake pads + labor . So insist on warranty or register a complaint on honda website or their toll free number .

Well, it's almost done 27K km's and I doubt since it's the old set of pad's .

How could it go above the limit ?Is the ASS such careless ?

It seems so because after draining the excess oil, noise stopped. Have complained to Honda regarding the carelessness. Await response.

I only have a single rattling from the glove box compartment. Apart that everything is intact, Touchwood

Yeah the glove box rattles too, so does the A pillar and I am used to the suspension thuds now. Though these do not concern me much and as I said earlier can be fixed. As long as the car drives the way it is driving now, i wont complain.

They haven't even contacted me once and unless they call me and inform, i wont be bringing over the vehicle . They are not even cared to call me back and inform.

That's a shame. Did you try informing Honda customer care?

They're surely gonna be saying some good reasons

About the glove box, I still can't find a way out, Though the A-pillars can be easily rectified as I've already mentioned here :)

I'm keeping on my silence

Mxs784 -
Projector Headlamps with DRLs- Amaze

They provide with complete assembled headlights.
So we can just remove our stock headlights, keep it with us for future use and attach the socket to new modified headlights

Mobilio RS headlamps are itself gonna cost around 32K for a pair and do you even think this would be worth more than that ?

RS headlamps feels better and looks much premium.

Sounds good. But Honda is not ready to install them. Even i thought of getting them fixed from outside repair shops. However Honda never sells parts over the counter.

Also i wanted to buy the mobilio speedo which has blue illumination as my Blaupunkt player has white nd bluish theme which syncs exactly to that of mobilio Speedo. And this also they wont sell over the counter

Honda won't install them, that's for sure. You can do it as a DIY
They are willing to sell it here, I enquired two service centres and both of them said " YES"

1 year 6 months....

That's so much of time on road mate, Kudoss !!

I was actually waiting to see your odo pics, It's been a while right ?
