Hi! I guess you have mistook my comment. My intention was not to refer Honda Amaze or Maruti Swift Dzire as bad looking cars rather I wanted to say that the compact sedan's are not as good looking as a sedan (since the debate is between a compact sedan and a sedan) such as Honda City or Verna or Vento.
Please touch your heart and then say Honda Amaze or Maruti Dzire is a better looking car than a Hyundai Verna or Honda City or Fiat Linea. Quote:

I don't agree with you here. The amaze is the powerful car in the segment and is a refreshing vehicle and a change to the eye as every other car is either a Dzire or a Swift. Fuel: Diesel Honda Amaze i-DTEC:
Power : 99 PS @ 3600
Torque : 200 Nm @ 1750
Power-to-Weight Ratio : 93 BHP/Ton Maruti Suzuki Dzire DDiS:
Power : 74 PS @ 4000
Torque : 190 Nm @ 2000
Power-to-Weight Ratio : 70 BHP/Ton Fiat Linea MJD:
Power : 92 PS @ 4000
Torque : 209 Nm @ 2000
Power-to-Weight Ratio : 71 BHP/Ton Volkswagen Vento TDi:
Power : 104 PS @ 3600
Torque : 250 Nm @ 1750
Power-to-Weight Ratio : 87 BHP/Ton
I did't consider the Honda City as it doesn't have a diesel engine. Fuel: Petrol Honda Amaze:
Power : 87 PS @ 6000
Torque : 109 Nm @ 4500
Power-to-Weight Ratio : 92 BHP/Ton Maruti Suzuki Dzire :
Power : 86PS @ 6000
Torque : 114 Nm @ 4000
Power-to-Weight Ratio : 90 BHP/Ton Fiat Linea:
Power : 89 PS @ 6000
Torque : 115 Nm @ 4500
Power-to-Weight Ratio : 72 BHP/Ton Volkswagen Vento:
Power : 104 PS @ 5250
Torque : 153 Nm @ 3800
Power-to-Weight Ratio : 93 BHP/Ton Honda City:
Power : 116 PS @ 4600
Torque : 146 Nm @ 4800
Power-to-Weight Ratio : 105 BHP/Ton
Here are the specifications taken from the Official review of the respective car given above and I hope you can see that the Amaze has the highest power-to-weight ratio that is one of the main factor in drive ability and pick-up.
Here you go buddy. I have done it or you for both Petrol and Diesel.
The Honda Amaze equals itself to the next segment too at a cheaper price and efficiency. Hats Off Honda!

Hi a4anurag,
I have a different kind of comparision for you. Please check out the comparison given below:
source: http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/...e_1413735g.jpg
I did not find any difference between the Brio and Amaze apart from the length. In such a case why compare the Amaze with a sedan? I am fascinated by the data you have provided. Thanks for the information but let us compare Honda with Honda. Honda City:
Power : 116 PS @ 4600
Torque : 146 Nm @ 4800
Power-to-Weight Ratio : 105 BHP/Ton Honda Amaze:
Power : 87 PS @ 6000
Torque : 109 Nm @ 4500
Power-to-Weight Ratio : 92 BHP/Ton
From the above Honda City wins hands down. I am sure in almost all aspects Honda City is going to prove superior to Honda Amaze.
Now coming to the diesel engine I would love to compare the Honda Amaze diesel when Honda City diesel arrives. Quote:

At the office, his moronic team-mates will shower praises on him for buying a car that can fit 3 in the rear seats, instead of a crummy so called "Hot Hatch" like a Polo TSI that can't even fit 2 comfortably.
His wife will dote on him because among the neighborhood car park, theirs is the only one that can carry their child seat and still have room in the back for additional shopping, and perhaps a dog.
His in-laws will be mightly pleased because their beloved son-in-law has a car that can carry all their luggage from the railway station, along with bundles of mango pickle, safely to their house.
His wallet will be mightly pleased as well, because when it's time to tank up, his compact diesel sedan will have returned a whopping fuel efficiency of 18kmpl in the city! Whereas the other guy at his workplace, who bought a Polo TSI can only boast of 9-10kmpl while being powered by Petrol. Hah!
Come on fellas. It's not that hard to put 2 & 2 together.
Why do Compact Sedans sell in high numbers? Simple!
It's because we are all Indians. And what do Indians want? We all want the following - Daam Kum, Kaam Zyada ( Costs less, works more)
PS: Post written as a joke. No offence meant to anyone who owns a Compact Sedan or a Polo TSI |
No offence taken. Looking at all the points above I have noticed that you are giving preference to space, mileage and status. Polo is for a different league of people and hence comparing a Polo does not make sense here. Also if status matters then no hatch provides more status than a Volkswagen Polo. And for the above requirements a Renault Duster or a Ford Ecosport would do good. Why consider a sedan at first place when there is no need of performance for pappu? Note: Please don't blast me guys, I mean no offence to anyone and I love Honda Amaze as well as Maruti Dzire. Somehow I am not able to form any sort of relationship with a compact sedan. Let us have this as a discussion than a debate |
