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... rclxub.gif

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...

QUOTE(emkay @ Feb 12 2013, 05:46 PM)
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...? unsure.gif unsure.gif

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... brows.gif

what's the next step...? higher end Edge VS...? brows.gif

@wtm0325, I was able to reproduce the rattling dashboard noise again... Mine stem from engine noise at a narrow window of around 2,800 rpm, much like picking up speed from 110kph, and once I reached 120kph, the noise was gone... does it make sense to you...? sweat.gif

my case is not from engine, slow speed also got.. When 120kph will gone too becoz the surrounding noise is louder tongue.gif

On the other hand, I also test drive my relative Alza which is 2 weeks old abt 600km, no rattling noise at all in the car, but sound proof from door still like stock condition.. My car soundproof still better, just the rattling from dashboard is the most obvious, then both side of b pillar, which I have no idea how to solved them yet after many tried..

I went to tanjung dawai, kedah. It just a normal asphalt road but the road noise was crazy. I thought there was something wrong with the gearbox or something but tbe noise suddenly gone after I past that stretch. One the highway it is so smooth. Can barely hear the engine or road noise. (Except on those concrete stretch)

Back to KL, FC average was 7.3/100km. One more thing that I like is seating position. My legs wasn't tired at all but what I don't is the lack of back support. On normal car, my legs kinda stretch forward and the seat don't support my legs (from under my thigh). So, I have to support it using the thigh muscle. In Alza, my legs are downward and I can rest my legs on the feets. Seated in semi-hunch position and created discomfort around my abdomen area (below the ribs cage)

Too much engine oil can cause sluggishness and harm the engine.

Yesterday, my wife put the baby in the car, then reverse to go out. But suddenly hit something and she came down to have a look. It was only a water bottle. So she try to go back into the car but to her surprise, the all 5 doors were locked, with the baby still inside. We are using original alarm / security system. No mod, no change. So you guys better watch out and be careful. P2 stuff cannot be trusted.

this is not P2 issue. it is "auto lock" issue that's why all new car take away this feature.

so far haven't face any auto lock issue for me. but i got stand by another car key (duplicate) with me all the time. Just in case anything happened I still can unlock the door.

P/S : road side duplicate's key can unlock/ lock door only. Can't start engine.

sorry bro you gotta go Alza forum and ask sifu from there.. I already accept the fact that no matter how you mod the car it won't become continental car.. car designer has to take soundproof into consideration when designing the car

The baby strapped on his chair, he'll need to be superman's baby to unlock his belt.
We try to simulate the incident again but couldn't get it again, because the door should only lock if someone intentionally locks it, or step on the break pedal. Otherwise it should never to have lock the doors on it's own. Luckily she is just outside the house ... imagine if this happens far away from the house.

This is just weird... The car shouldn't lock by itself... You sure your car is not haunted...? brows.gif

Like wtm0325 said, it's time to look for new car... It's about time to start scheming now...
