Baru first time try. Before filling with BHP, was with Esso. Previous tank did 420km with 106km range left. Just refill, did 386km with 186km range left. Not a good comparison yet coz 80% city drive, 20% highway. Previous tank 95% and 5% respectively. Have to wait until the car comes back, refill a few round baru tau... Car masuk kilang again tomorrow...

Some say use a bigger size battery it would help and the battery will not damage so easily. I have tried this with the previous car. But now I am not sure what size can be use for Alza?

Try to ask in Official Alza forum, they got many lubang there

Ur Alza is very petrol saving, mine average only 450km nowadays, always drive like bull

change bigger help in?

Drive like a bull...? Your Alza very powderful meh....? Coz installed Iridium spark plugs...?

Mine underpowered lar....

I don't know much about electrical, so the terms I use here might not be correct but just to illustrate on what I learn from mechanics.

If our Alza needs 1000mAh each time we turn on the car engine, and the battery we use is just 1100mAh, then the battery lifespan will be very short. Because we have only 100mAh buffer. So if we turn on the aircon to full one day, charge something, or for whatever reasons used very close to 1100mAh, it kind of reduces the battery's lifespan.

But, if we put in a 1300mAh battery, then we hardly strain/stress the battery since we cannot reach the limit. The 300mAh buffer is more than sufficient to cover all our needs. Hence, the battery will last longer.

However, the issue is different battery capacity has different sizes. I don't know what size can fit into our Alza.

Added on September 26, 2011, 9:26 amAiya, 450km is very good already la. Not yet a bull, maybe a calf. I'm the real bull. I hardly reach 400km. Just something close to 400km, maybe +/- 380km. But the thing is, only sometimes I hit until 3000rpm going uphill. Most of the time on 2000rpm only. I cannot figure out why my mileage so low.

How you guys measure...? Refill to refill...? How much of range left...?

Me average 420km city drive if range down to about 100km, and I don't think it will go for another 100km. I've tried asking P2 guys to see how far can they go, they don't even know... My max was 463km...


Anyway, just came back from service, my car tak jadi masuk kilang coz no replacement car for me. Have to wait until they're available...

Damn sien lar see this piece of trash. Everytime have to take leave, waste time go service center and show them all the problems.

Might be you need to try other petrol?

is rite this

When u pump full oledi, reset the meter and run. On the second pump, use the mileage and divide with petrol you just pump. E.g. Ur mileage recorded for the first pump is 400km. On second pump you fill 35 litre. Use this 400km divide by 35 litre and times 42 litre. Why? Becoz you just use this 35 litre to run 400km. Times 42 litre shall be the full tank petrol consumption.

What's the point of "times 42 litre"...?

Anyway, normal plugs and iridium plugs don't seem to have any performance differences, not even a noticeable one. Just installed it today when servicing my car.

Walk into a perodua showrom last sunday. The interest they offering now is only 2.87% quite interesting. Thinking of getting the premium version white color but there is actually 2 types of white color Solid Whiteand Pearl White. Which one easier to maintain?

Colors aside... Have you test-driven this piece of junk yet...? If you haven't, please do and then only decide...

Need I remind you again please be ready to fork out another few grands to fix the problems...

Test drive it, test also friend's unit.

then test also Citra, Avanza, Exora, Livina, Inova, Serena, Estima .. how come all end with "a" ??? haha

so true, i shudnt have bought this too..maybe pakai for another year then only decide again.

May I know +/- 380km for RM50 ?

Alza tangki is 42 litre

No performance difference, just you save in the long run

Haha thanks for your advise. I have test driven it on the same day and when compare to my current saga blm this is a clear winner for me. I have a colleague of mine which is a quite a happy Alza user maybe his luck getting a problem free one. As for the sound insulation haha i think this Alza is around the same if not better than my saga blm ya you did hear the roof when it rain heavily but i already get used to it

I'm not so concern about the sound insulation thing, my main concern is on the engine and suspension. Hopefully I will get a problem free Alza too BTW I have place my booking on the Medallion Grey at last hehe.

normal plugs and iridium plugs

some feedback got different on performance some feedback no different ..

P2 provide plugs tiruan ke ??

What do you mean? Sorry, I don't understand the question. Because RM50 only cannot reach 380km. If possible to do that, you will immediately be the richest person in the world. Because you have discovered a breakthru. So I must have misunderstood your meaning.

Then welcome to your worse nightmare....

Find an enemy who loves to drink, go out with him... find something to celebrate, drink lots and lots and lots... make peace with him, and when he cannot even walk, ask him to drive to Melaka and drink again. Give him the car keys and let him wreck the whole car. Claim insurance, and then buy something else.

don't drink and drive....
