A pair of Hella horns or Bosch would cost around Rs. 750 – Rs. 1250 depending on the model and the brand you choose. A whole range are available at most car accessories shops and would be a direct fit, with a relay.

MInd you, this will cost you your car’s warranty as well.

Not true in general. There may be some Honda cars with a good AC, but its not true for every car. I own a Honda Civic, and its AC really struggles in the Delhi heat.

I am not buying this. Seems to be a dirty trick to push the higher margin top model. Take this up directly with Honda’s customer care. Their Chennai Zonal Office: 044 – 42083774 / 75 / 76 / 78. Their national “One-2-One” call center: 1800 113 121. Their email: customer_relations@hondacarindia.com.

I don’t think registration is dependent on the variant, if the length, engine size and power and fuel used are the same. If they can register the VX variant, they can register lower variants as well. I think the RTO is just trying to be difficult. Check with the RTO itself if its possible.

Simply tell the dealer that he should point it out on a public noticeboard in his dealership, that they will not take bookings of the lower variant since they can’t register them in the RTO. It will call their bluff either ways: whether they are pushing the top-end variant or they are unable to apply pressure on the RTO to get the approval. Let me…[Read more]

CarToq community member @sandeep mangat has got an Amaze and he’ll be able to give you first hand feedback on daily use of the AC. During our test in Goa in 32 degree heat it worked pretty well, no issues there.

Hi Ram, Let me tackle each question one after the other:
1. Underbody protection – it only has painting, not a thick coat. Even for padding, the diesel has thicker padding under the bonnet, behind the engine, but petrol has only little padding.
2. Driver info system is same as the Brio – Single trip meter, average fuel economy, odometer (and…[Read more]

If it is so.. then other diesel cars in the segment will bite the dust!!!

That was just a record set by Ford for the Classic to enter into the Limca book of records…32 kmpl..
In real world conditions it gives over 20kmpl..
And Amaze has good space and comfort and some decent features all together with good looks which makes it a better buy than the Dzire anyday..
Also Honda has good Quality interiors and overall build…[Read more]

http://www.cartoq.com/chevrolet-sail-compared-against-all-entry-sedans/ – The Sail is the most practical buy in that bracket currently. It has space, good driveability, features like bluetooth, maintenance package from GM etc. It should fit the best for someone who wants a family car which can give good fuel efficiency, have features, space,…[Read more]

If you are looking at a proper sedan,take the sail sedan.the car has the same 1.3 motor with a chevy badge and got better warranty of 5 yrs or 1.5lkh kms.plus the 3yr maintenance contract makes it very sensible buy at the moment.the dzire is a bit cramped on the rear legroom and the chopped up boot does the job but looks a bitsore considering the…[Read more]

Yes.. i also feel that Sail is a better choice overall…
Better interior cabin space,,better comfort for 5,,better boot space..and looks like a proper sedan….
and the Chevy promise will serve u happy for years…
if u are ready to wait..then the Honda Amaze is coming in just 2 weeks…its worth waiting for the competition against…[Read more]

I would also say, just wait till the Honda Amaze launches on April 11 (once we know prices, its value for money factor would be clearer) and then decide. It’s definitely better than the Dzire in some aspects and looks promising. As for the Sail, if you aren’t amazed by the Amaze, it’s a default choice – straightforward practical car.

Yes Ram, on April 1 I will be able to give you a detailed road test report of the diesel and petrol, and a video review. For prices, we’ll have to wait till April 11, and I’m hoping Honda has listened to our feedback and prices it just right. If it does, it will have a winner on its hands.

Wait for Honda Amaze…it will definitely prove itself better than other entry level sedans
