Honda Amaze VX i-DTEC Ownership Review

[ramdante]

Just found this thread. Some great mods done here, exactly what I was looking for.

Vishnu, after the door/bonnet dampings, is there a really god difference in noise level inside cabin? Is the upgrade really worth it?

And have you installed any tyre claddings to reduce the road noise? It gets unbearably high on some roads :\

Yes, of course after getting all the doors and hood damped there is a considerable loss of cabin noise and the NVH is now much more like any other car

No, no tyre cladding yet. The road noise some times disturbs me too, but the ICE setup really helps me there

Oh nice thanks!
Can you post a link to get the Dampening material?? I couldn't find it.

Unfortunately , The damp mat I used is currently out of stock as per the dealer. He promised to inform me asap when the Mat is back on stocks. In the mean time you could check these two links :

DAMPMAT DAMPING SHEETS 4 SQFT (1 sheet of 16" x 36") | eBay

DAMPMAT DAMPING SHEETS 36 SQFT (9 sheets of 4 sq feet each) | eBay

I had also bought this Damp mat for damping the door panels and are of a better quality than the currently unavailable one

Mine Was showing 145 kmph and i lost the feel of punch from the throttle and hence realized so :(

For me somewhere 150-ish


It's been 5 months with my Amaze and i'm loving it.

I have only bought reversing sensors but now looking for ICE and speaker upgrade.
Anyone got CASKA HU from Honda. Cost is 41k and it comes with navigation, bluetooth and reversing camera.

Kinda 150-ish to me also..Btw you also have changed to wooden panels ? Costed the same 8.5 k as mentioned earlier in this thread ?

That's my Friend's car. Yeah the cost is 8.5k and I'm inclined to get the same. The finish gives upmarket look.
I'm on lookout for other designs but haven't found anything yet.

8.5k for painting the stock panels is kinda too much

Definitively overpriced. But I don't like the brown panels in the car. Maybe i can get them painted black which will look much better.

the brown panels are textured right ? then it will be looking odd even with black I am totally confused .

@Vishnu
Cool custom lights man! But imo, the yellow lights look more classy and suits your Maroon/beige interiors better.

5months!

Could you post some better pics of the dash?? Want to check out the wooden finish.

And there is aluminum finish autographics sticker available on eBay, has anyone tried that?
Will that change the dash's look for the good?

Must be the inside of the LHS A-Pillar. Try tapping on it, you will be able to identify.

Hi Everyone,

i have been following this thread from lately but found very helpful, and helped me change my mind from purchase off from Swift to Amaze
after reading lots of reviews and user experiences i reach to this helpful thread, i went through every page, every post and i decided to buy a Honda Amaze

i booked on 20th DEC and got delivery on 26th Dec with registered number, sales team was gr8 at Crystal honda, Viman nagar, Pune; after i drove out my Dream machine i went straight to my hometown Gujrat and back home pune on 31st Dec it was awesome experience driving Honda machine i drove around 1700+ km during this time and got 19+ mileage;

Thanks to you all for helping me to become proud owner of Amaze and for gr8 comments and replies a very special thanks to Vishnu for keeping live this thread and keeping gr8 customizations.

@Vishnu : hey what's your current count on odometer, you haven't posted since long

Here's one snap ... to whom i gotta married 2nd time; why having said that? - my wife feels so... "you got another wife as Honda Amaze (s) I-Dtec "
