It is worth is to buy an alza? Or just topup about extra 175 permonth for vios E? Fyi, i dont care even MPV or CAR as long it have rear boot.. If i buy alza, 3rd seat is not useable, i will make it as a boot..
For Vios it's not just the extra 175 per month... It's also on the service as well. Alza major service around 360 - 400 bucks while Vios major service more than 700 bucks... You'll need to factor in service and maintenance cost as well. You can argue that service cost may not be important after the third free service, but since Alza is known to be a problematic car, I recommend servicing the Alza until the full 3-year warranty lapses. Else Perodua will find ways to void your warranty and start charging for replacement parts...
Ass wise of coz Alza can store more. However, due to its spaciousness, the air-cond is a bit weak, especially when you carry loads of passengers on a hot afternoon.
Quality-wise I cannot comment on Vios since I don't own one, but I do have a friend who have had major complaints on quality issue with his, and end up with the statement, "Regardless Japanese or not, as long as it is BELOW RM 100K, don't expect good quality stuff." He has nightmares about Vios giving him problems, while I and some other people here have nightmares on our Alzas.
So far I have not come across any Vios that gets engulf in flames after an accident (and I would love to hear some sources), for Alza there have been some cases already that burns or explodes after an accident or an improper wiring mod. So if you plan to mod your car, stay away from Alza as it is known as Kereta Mudah Terbakar...
