Amaze S MT is one of the best and VFM car in Rs 8L (on road).<\/h2>\n<p>BHPian <strong>JDMBOI<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p>Hii, Team-BHPians, here is my experience buying the Honda Amaze &amp; initial thoughts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preference<\/strong> &#8211; Hatchback (Sub 4M) and not to buy base variant. Started looking for a car for my sister back in August.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Budget<\/strong> Rs 9L (on road).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cars considered<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Amaze<\/li>\n<li>Brezza<\/li>\n<li>Altroz<\/li>\n<li>i20<\/li>\n<li>Fronx<\/li>\n<li>Baleno (kind of)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Ruled out and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brezza was out of the list as 2nd variant was above Rs 11L on the road. In my opinion, it&#8217;s not worth it (few features + hybrid technology removed and price remained the same) I would rather spend that much on slavia\/virtus\/kushaq base variants. The waiting period was 7 months but the sales guy said to buy Rs 25000 worth of accessories &amp; I will deliver the car on the date of your choice which is very considerate of him. I said thanks and left.Altroz &#8211; To be honest not a fan of Altroz looks (other Tata cars too) and there are 17 Petrol variants (yes, you read it right) Are you kidding me?<\/li>\n<li>i20 &#8211; Almost decided to go with the i20 Sportz manual but then I saw Amaze on the road (almost forgot this car) and the i20 was put on hold.<\/li>\n<li>Baleno &#8211; My mother was forcing me to go with Baleno (her colleagues told her, to buy Baleno) but I said NO. Safety is questionable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Nexa sales guy remarks on the safety of Baleno.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Me &#8211; What is the safety rating of Baleno? (I know it&#8217;s never tested)<\/p>\n<p>Sales guy (Looks at me for 2-3 seconds) &#8211; 5 Stars.<\/p>\n<p>Me- No, this will only get 2-3 stars (if tested)<\/p>\n<p>Sales guy (changing topic) &#8211; Are bhai safety kisko chaiye sab bhagwan ke hath mein hai, feature aur mileage mangte hai log. (Brother, Who need safety? it&#8217;s in God&#8217;s hands. People want features and mileage)<\/p>\n<p>Me &#8211; Alright.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fronx &#8211; Its 2nd model was Rs 8.4 and on the road would have been around Rs 9.3L. I am against spending that much money on Maruti plus she denied (looks).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why did I choose Amazon?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 Star safety.<\/li>\n<li>Honda reliability.<\/li>\n<li>Parts availability and economical service.<\/li>\n<li>Under 4 meter.<\/li>\n<li>Spacious cabin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Visits and experience with Honda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In September &#8211; Went to check the car (around 5 PM) and to get a quote. Was attended to within seconds by salesperson Mr. Gaurav. He knew all the feature differences between S and VX. (good to know as sales guys usually don&#8217;t know much) but they were a little hesitant to show the car had to say 3 times. (The showroom is under renovation, maybe that&#8217;s why)<\/p>\n<p>In October &#8211; On 10 October 2023 visited them again for booking but sales man (Gaurav) was not present another guy said Sir, the occasion is not good now, come on 15 October it&#8217;s Navratri. I said I don&#8217;t believe in this sort of stuff but he insisted, and I was skeptical whether to go for it or not, so I left without booking the car.<\/p>\n<p>In November &#8211; On 10 November 2023 went again attended within seconds again by Mr. Gaurav (he recognized me) talked to some figures and booked Amaze S Manual in Silver at Malwa Honda,Sonipat. Could have gone with VX but there is a Rs 1.30L difference (on the road).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/1_115.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/2_118.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Price<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Road Rs 8.25L.

Didn&#8217;t even proceed further &amp; rejected the car. He offered a Grey metallic Amaze (September manufactured) I denied it because I have been telling him, for the past month, that I want Silver. I was somewhat okay with 3 month old car and asked about more discounts but no luck. Sat there to talk about new stock arrival and discount on silver Amaze but he got busy with new customers and waited for around 30 minutes (unattended) then I left.<\/p>\n<p>20 November &#8211; Decided to go with grey metallic and did PDI using Preregistration check list. It took me around 40 minutes. I would suggest taking someone with you as time passed, I became lethargic &amp; did the left-over procedure in a hasty manner. After PDI 25 November was set as delivery day.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/24_1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/25_1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/26_1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/27_1.jpg\"><br \/><strong>Delivery Day<\/strong><br \/>Took delivery of the vehicle early in the morning, and the process was smooth (20-25 minutes).
