My 2023 Honda Amaze; Mileage & service costs after 1 year of ownership

Cruise up to 80 & it will reward you with 18+ km/l (as per cluster), the least you can expect is 16 km/l.

BHPian JDMBOI recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

1 Year Update - Mileage, Service cost and more

Odometer- 5,022 KM

Mileage

City with AC on moderate traffic 10-12 Max. Light to no traffic maximum 15. Haven't seen single digit mileage yet. (Now a days I think most petrol cars mileage stays around 12 in the city).
Highway - Cruise upto /at 80 & she will reward you with 18+KMPL (as per cluster) least you can expect is 16KMPL.

Long term mileage - 80-85% done on highway and rest in the city and (upto) 4 hours of idle with AC ON.

Service cost and experience

09:34 entry

09:46 Job card done

10:10 service done. (No washing as I denied)

Engine oil being removed.

Extra items added in Job card - Added three extra things (explained those to me while card was being made) but they were removed, after I declined. No question asked.

1-AC - Rs 910
2-Wheel balancing and rotation - Rs 780 + (something) not sure what was written maybe is was labour
3-Lubrication - 7xx

So approximately I saved 2500 by not striking above items out.

Engine Oil - Opted for fully synthetic Cost - Rs 2608.84

Amaze user manual says it takes 3.2 liters of oil, if oil filter is also changed otherwise its 3 liters but the advisor said its takes 3.7 liters when I said manual says 3.2 he said he knows what's stated in manual but car takes 3.7 Liters. Again, I politely said please fill 3.2. Liters. He obliged.

Washer plug drain - Rs 35.99
Oil filter - Rs 193
Pollen filter 2.5 - Rs 879.10
Air filter - Rs 403

Total - Rs 4121 including taxes

Service cost calculator

Honda website shows Rs 3772 on the website. Mine before tax was 3492.

Coolant reducing slowly

I always check car thoroughly once/twice a week and noticed coolant level dropping slowly. Over the past 6 months it dropped 2-3 cm (it was already less when I got the delivery so now It was near the minimum mark) which is not troublesome as the level increase and decreases in the reservoir so I asked them to topup the coolant and Dear lord they topped it up almost to the brim.

Thanks to BHPian GForceEnjoyer post I read many months aso about removing excess coolant and did the same and saved the coolant for future use, should I need it.

No money was charged for coolant topup and the plastic seat cover (protection)

Rating - 8 out of 10. Experience with Malwa Honda Sonipat has been good so far except during one month checkup and seeing what they did with coolant I am not sure about the level of expertise they have.

Improvement after service - After service car's throttle response has improved and engine felt more lively in first and second gear acceleration.

One year ownership cost

Problems? No nonsense car like one of our member said for his Honda City. It starts every time in one crank even if parked straight for a week, no drama no nothing. No window up down glitch, no infotainment glitch and no instrument cluster problem like you see in cars today.

Overall happy with the car.
