Tear n wear cant avoid, but question is after 10 years, spare part still in production or not ?
Seriously, alza can fit 5 person comfortable, not 7. The last row, no adult can fit, only kids can. But if u are driving long journey, do u wan a kid to sit last row ? Where its only protected by few inch of car body ? Imagine, some from behind bang u. So i dont see the point having last row seats, except luggage.
Almera cannot fit 5 person comfortable. But the ride for 4 is very comfortable.
True indeed Alza can fit nicely with 5 instead of 7,however it is perfectly a good combination's of let one children sit at front, and center. Not a much problem here as with safety. So I do not think this is a treat to Alza, however I only agree with you with what you are saying imagine someone from behind will bang you. Alza do not have more space to protect if comparing with Almera. One think is good for Alza is you can use Toyota parts ( Avanza). That is mean your car can use Toyota engine, therefore Perodua car have better second hand value.
This is their plus point!
Nissan spare part's are usually better in quality as the price also is higher to maintain. I do remember my Foreman told me that comparing with the Brek pad it cost about Rm 3XX as normally will cost Rm2xx.
However the quality of parts is better !! If can afford Almera is a good choice! Car is spacious with able to put many things.
Last thing is car FC is good.
I personally will like it but for Family it is a good choice to get Alza ( MPV ) or Nissan Grand Livina (MPV) or Nissa Serena (MPV).
