Been getting a lot of those VW complains lately, but since European marques prefer new techs over reliability, that is to be expected... But as for gamenoob's claims of "creaking" problems, I really have to go

Are all VW cars now CKD'ed apart from the new Passat...?
A Honda Insight CBU from Japan has a very soft "creaking" sound from the dashboard, but that's a minimalist. Alza on the other hand, is irritating enough to drive you into a road rage. I can practically identify the rattling sounds, from inside dashboard, both storage compartments, the stereo HU, the pillars, the seatbelts, the black box on the trunk door, aft storage compartments etc... No kidding, this is on a brand-new Alza, and it rides like a 10-year old abused tin can...
Look for Sam in KL Auto (the acclaimed Autofoam and SP expert) who regretfully bought his Alza, complained to me of various "musical concerto" he has with his car since day one... Poor fella...!
Perodua while utilising Toyota and Daihatsu's old tech, things should be reliable... but look at this... gearbox problem, engine misfiring problem... Do you think I should go

or

...? A mechanic of mine got a shock when I told him my Alza is problematic even down to Jap techs... Engine misfiring due to faulty Denso Iridium plugs...! Faulty gearbox from Daihatsu...?
He asked me, how could that be...? Jap techs are reliable what...
As for QC, no doubt CKD cars are shit... CKDs are basically cars that missed out a lot of things...
Even my old Toyota Camry which was CKD'ed and branded CBU by UMW, QC is already shit even only after 6 years... but their Jap parts are fine...
Perodua is basically hopeless when it comes to QC and CS... Ever since their runaway success of the first MyVi, QC went downhill... CS, anything to do with warranty claims, they will not call you... They will only call when there's something to sell... Most often I have to call back to follow up... Even now they still couldn't figure out why the pillars rattled after 2 years of complaining...
Loads of other people will say the same with other brands and their respective distributors, as long as they're run by cronies... End of the day it's the Malaysian mindset...
PS: Right now I'm still trying to identify the cause of the high speed vibration I'm getting... Rims' fine, alignment and balancing done, donuts' fine... Perodua checked engine mounting, drive shaft, and suspensions, equally fine... So is Alza safe to drive...? Not with mine...
