QUOTE(Eithanius @ Sep 4 2011, 11:56 AM) tyenfei, it seems like you're not confident enough with this car...? don't get offended by my statement though... fully agree with you . after 2 years , I spend endless time in their sc , because their poor QC and parts . until today , the wind noise still occurs after 70km/h , the sc changes the rubber for 3 times in 2 years , my aircon magnetic clutch being changes in denso sc . the bluetooth have problem since day 1 . there are some weird sound in the car when driving , and after 2 years , the brake pad need to be changed , and it cost me 200 in the sc .  anyhow, my conclusion stands, DO NOT BUY AN ALZA unless you have plenty of time to waste getting it stranded at Perodua SC to fix this and that, and plenty of money to fix their plunders and replace poor quality and missing parts. My Alza has been giving me endless problems. I've already spent 4k on improving sound insulation and ride comfort (read sound insulation and ride comfort ONLY). I have to admit I'm not a DIY kinda person to do sound insulation like some of the members here, I really respect them for their efforts. But so far I'm close to achieving what I've got on this car (it means I'm gonna spend more on this guinea pig), but with 4k it can be used on something more useful. This 4k of mine is used to fix what Perodua failed to offer for an overpriced 60 grand tin can. Even a Naza Citra now going for 70 grand offers better insulation and comfort with a bigger engine capacity albeit the fuel consumption. If you see the list of problems on the first post, my car has 80% of the issues on the list. And more coming on the way and yet to be rectified. Just look at the lousy brake pads that causes dirty rims. Perodua said it's normal, that all cars has it. Granted it's true, but is it to that extent that the rims gets charcoal black in a matter of days..? Since they offer no better solution, we poor saps have to fork out just to get better grade brake pads. I can be sure the maintenance for this car will skyrocket once the warranty goes out. I'll be rushing to sell this piece of junk once it does, not betting on high resale value though, coz by then many people will know how lousy this car is. if you want to spend the valuable time , please buy alza , else , look for something else . |

yes, outside sc, brake pads last longer and cheaper, less dust. So from this experience, when you meet P2 top management, what do you say to them?
when something goes wrong, they blame you for not using P2 ori parts, what should we say to them? |

I'm still having high-speed braking vibrations despite changing the entire braking system under warranty... All after less than 10k distance... Not only brake pads are shit, the disc rotors are even shittier...
n8210 has a point, P2 can just say warranty void if used third party service parts... This post has been edited by Eithanius: May 31 2012, 03:31 PM |

people,regarding the recall for the aircond pipe,dont just say that P2 is too cheap to replace the rusty steering rack.i think they just want to cover up this big problem and say changing air cond pipe.
im saying this because,i tell u,after the service,the steering feel is superb.feels tighter and does not have much freeplay compared to before the service.during slow corner turns,u can really feel the tightness of the steering. they must have done something to the steering rack to make it feel like that |

guys...planning to get an Alza premium version. Realize that there are a few problems but I guess I'll just have to live with it. Can I know if the speakers are as good as the previous Myvi? Any benchmark?
Because the previous myvi had real shitty speakers. |

Because the previous myvi had real shitty speakers.  And how would you expect the speakers to be as good as the previous myvi when you already say they are real shitty... It is still shitty on the Alza... And for trivial sake, part of Alza's noisy problems also stem from the lack-of-clarity speakers... It actually amplifies the drone sound when on high speed coarse roads. My 16-year old mini hi-fi speakers still sound better than this... For once read my siggy... will ye...? DO NOT BUY ALZA....!  |

The problem here is money and space. If you're set for a 65k budget for a bigger family car, there aren't many choices. A slight top up will get you a Vios, Forte, Fiesta...which is smaller and less spacious. In my opinion, Avanza is too big for its 1.5 engine. Besides, it posses the same handling issues as Alza maybe even worse. The only difference is the more reliable construction and parts.
