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?

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.

Aiya, 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.

May I know +/- 380km for RM50 ?

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

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.

Alza tangki is 42 litre brows.gif

No performance difference, just you save in the long run brows.gif

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 sweat.gif

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 rolleyes.gif BTW I have place my booking on the Medallion Grey at last hehe.

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.

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.

No, don't drink and drive with a love one or a friend. But if you really need to drink and drive, then drive with your enemy.

my sis using alza too..sxi advance version. the problem:

- rattle sound at 2nd row seat (still searching what is rattling there)
- foggy headlamp!!! (this is crap man)
- driver door sensor got problem..
- when change to reverse, its sound like i did not properly step on the clutch pedal, but i already did. same with 1st gear.

my others issue:

- perhaps P2 should think first that tall people oso will drive alza. not all people in m'sia pendek2 one. really annoying when my knee will knock below dashboard each time i press the clutch pedal..

SXi .. so it is manual transmission right?

as far as i have read, Toyota Passo Sette no manual transmission at Japan brows.gif .

and as we know Alza is Malaysia version of Passo Sette, so P2 fit the Myvi manual gear box into it ... so it may not that "fit" .. hmm.gif

this is what i read from some review.

Yeah, you had misunderstand my question.
I just want to check with you how much your petrol for how many KM.
Mine averaging RM50 can go for 300KM,
if jam around 250KM,
if more highway to Seremban around 350KM.

Just wanna compare am I accelerating too much on my Alza or not smile.gif

I always reset trip A to 0 after pump full tank.

Then the next refill I'll pump full tank again and divide the $ with how many KM in trip A.

exp. 25th Sep 2011, Reset trip A = 0, Petrol Full Tank.

then 30th Sep 2011, Trip A = 350KM (reset it after refill), Refill petrol RM60.

the calculation will be RM60/350KM = RM0.17+/KM

this 2 months my city drive around RM0.17~RM0.19+ / KM

Hi, im very new here. Also made booking for Premium Medallion Grey. Coming soon..!! rclxms.gif
Lots of great info here. Good and bad. Just hope the batch is good. Moving forward, pls advise on 2 things

1. Once we receive the car from the salesman, what important things we should look into/check through??
2. Any minor MOD needed..?? From some reviews, the car is too long and when turning/cornering, it needs heavier load to be more stable. Check through and saw ULTRA RACING. Too many bars and costly. What is the basic bars we need for ALza?
Any advise on this?
3. Not sure about sounds though, too many noices/sounds... just turn the music louder abit... Hhaha.. thats what my fren told me... Do advise too...

Many thanks ppl... respect all of you and this is much better than Myalza...cant even understand some of the "Languages"... rclxub.gif

For a comparison, I pumped RM 30 last week in anticipation of car masuk kilang, but tak jadi, so refueled again upon finishing the tank few days back. I was able to clock 225km on 90% city drive. 300km on RM 50 seems a bit high on FC isn't it....? FYI I usually refuel when I'm left with one bar or left around 100km range or less.




Another question, anyone here already changed to a more soft and comfy suspension...? Any recommendation on that...? I kinda miss my old Camry's soft suspension feel, Alza is a bit too stiff and harsh, MyVi even worse... rclxub.gif

First of all, welcome to our humble thread. Secondly, welcome to your worse nightmare... brows.gif

1. DO NOT receive first... tell your salesman to allow you to see the car before registering it. When receiving the car, check for everything on the checklist given to you, make sure everything works fine. Off the list, check for surface scratches, and rear trunk wiper - make sure they fitted the short one for Alza, not the long one for MyVi, else it'll end up scratching the rear spoiler when activated.

2. I did not install ultra whatever shitty bar, I'm not a racer. I prefer to be called an uncle driving a big ass comfy car.

3. I spent few grands just to get rid of various noises. It's up to you if you wanna spend that kinda money on sound-proofing it. Also, spend a grand to get rid of those noisy tyres. Cranking up the music volume will only makes things worse because it comes with crappy speakers. For some odd reasons the external and rattling noises coupled with the treble-muffled speakers made the driving experience like driving a 5-year old car. Freaking sad case... sad.gif

4. Complimentary advise from me - if you still can cancel your booking, just do it and spend more to get a better car. Else you'll be stuck with a worse car money can buy for the next 5 years, and buying cars are not investments. Make sure you make the right decision. I regretted mine... doh.gif

Did a refill yesterday night. Here are my readings, slightly better this time.
RM66 / 405km = RM0.16/km

Mostly city drive, say 80%. This time, I let everyone over take me. Mostly 60-70kmh, sometimes top at 80km on the way from Sg Buloh to Kuala Selangor. If you find the traffic moving very slowly, hey... it probably was me in front. Hahahaha.... but that was last week. This week, back to normal driving and let's see how it goes.
