Just arrived in kepala batas from KL. This is 1st. long distant driving in the alza. Few surprises. NVH is better than my previous persona. Only at certain sections of the highway where the vibration is not good (concrete highway). Vibration felt on steering wheel & seat. Not sure due to suspension or the tires pressure.
There's a reason why it is called NVH, and Alza has extremely poor NVH... Change that damn tires and foam that damn chassis... That should reduce some of the NVH...I've been complaining to Perodua about the steering vibration on uneven roads since day one... Steering feel is even worse than MyVi...
For some odd reasons, after changing to Mich PS3 tires and foaming my chassis, I tend to like speeding (feels like gliding) on concrete highways than tarred ones... Excessive droning sound is higher on tarred roads. How I wished all KL roads are made of reinforced concretes... More durable and less potholes...

RPM is lower (110kmh @ almost 3000rpm) vs. Persona (MT) 110kmh@3100rpm.
FC only managed 8.3L/100km(Less than 3000rpm) vs. Persona 6.1L/100km@100kmh/3000rpm. Aircon wasn't that good (bigger interior space to be cooled) but blower noise is lower.
8.3L/100km is around my city drive... A bit on the high side if you use highway. You carry a lot of passengers and luggages, or speeding kao kao...?

I did a round trip from my house to KLIA, then straight to Ipoh, averaging 350km distance doing 110kph, maybe 140kph on certain stretches on highway. 2 people and the luggages. In Ipoh I did another 62km on 3 people without any luggages. Before leaving Ipoh, I was left with 2 bars of petrol, and refilled again. Stats showed I did 7.19L/100km
On the way back to KL was only myself and my luggages. Speeding averagely 130kph was a breeze, this one I must thank tyenfei's little gadget...
