re: Review: 1st-gen Honda Amaze (2013) As usual , It has been a well researched HONDA Amaze review from GTO . It is as comprehensive a review ,as we are used to from him . But I personally opine that a moderator should not use words like .....Iam quoting from his review ...... Quote: Honda's 1st diesel engine in India defeats the Fiat 1.3L MJD in terms of driveability, power and fuel economy
Conversely, if you maintain a light foot and go easy on the rpms (1,500 - 1,800 range), the green ECO sign lights up on the meter console, indicating an economical driving style. A variety of parameters (including current gear, speed, road incline etc.) are considered by the ECU for the ECO mode. The ECO light also comes on whenever you are decelerating, or the car is free-wheeling. Low turbo-lag cars (Verito, Etios, Sunny) usually record high fuel economy figures within the city as there is no need to unnecessarily revv, and the Amaze is no different. Its quite an achievement that [b][i][u]Honda's 1st diesel engine in India defeats the Fiat 1.3L MJD in terms of driveability, power and fuel economy[b][i][u]. The short throw gearbox with well defined gates is an absolutely joy to use. Honda says that this transmission has been developed specifically for the 1.5L i-DTEC. The clutch isn't as light as that of the Amaze / Brio petrol, yet isn't a pedal I'd call heavy and complain about either. It's par for the course in terms of effort required.

Some of us , in the forum may not be participating regularly . on the forum , but may have an enviable automobile consuming experience and history too .
The true test of an automobile has been the sustained accolades as well as a track record of performance and service . Honda , does not have a track record of that kind in the Diesel Sphere.
It is for no reason that the world has acknowledged FIAT"s 1.3 MJD as the most awarded Diesel Powertrain in the planet , considering technological advancement ,compactness , miniaturization and high performance.
It is at best a maiden venture by HONDA at taking on competition with a good combo deal of a Diesel Powertrain
Maruti , roght through has established a track record of Super service , highperformance , VFM and high reliability and their decision to go in the internationally best seller of a Diesel Powertrain , in the 1.3 Multijet should be lauded , in so far as striving to bring the best the worls offers to a consumer and it has proven itself ever since all Maritu Models had it under its hood .
