Dear Sifu / Alza owner here,
I plan to buy Alza, but after read the first post.. i worry about it.

Dirty Front Rims / Noisy Front Brake
(This still ok, can solve when brake pad finish use)
Wind Noise on Driver Side/Front Left Passenger Windows
(Aiyo.. need stick masking tape meh ? Sdh tak cantik lor.. Even send to P2, they also stick masking tape ??)
Rear Break Noise
(Brake noise when driving or when then time u press brake)
Noisy Cabin
(ini boleh bising then proton gen2 or myvi?)
Rattling sound everywhere
(I sure my father dunno solve this problem)
Steering Rack Rust
(Ini juga sama, tak tau apa nak buat)
Soft Car Horn
(My Gen2 horn also solve.. ok laa)
Front Bumper doesn't clip well (near headlight)
(Walao errrr..Will the bumper drop? My Gen2 mod bumper drop b4 coz no clip well)
Loose number plate on rear trunk door
(Ini boleh stick balik)
Underpower/Slow Pick Up
(Nvm.. my father is slow driver. BUT FOR ME....ok laa)
Steering vibrates on uneven road especially turning
(No solution? How vibrate izzit? never try compare never know..)
Annoying Air-Con compressor
(Acceptable)

Perodua Alza will more problem compare with Proton Waja/Myvi/Gen2/Persona?
I heard my sister friend who's own P2 Alza. He said Alza roof very "thin" When raining can hear the noisy sound like staying in bumbung besi rumah. Izzit real ?

hi potential buyer of Alza
Don't be afraid of all problem you can read internet. Every car has it problems. Some ppl don't mind certain things.
And you pay what you should get.
For me, Perodua or Proton also got problem. If I think & compare both problem. I rather choose the Perodua Problems, so I chosen Perodua Alza.
U ask the Raining hit the roof sound. Yeah, a bit noisy compare to other cars.
My experience is this:- When raining, I feel that the Front Glass is even more noisy, alrd overlap the Roof Noise alrd
Just switch ON the CD Player & raise the Volume, no more Roof noise. My memory counted, 5% of my driving is Raining. So I don't mind this.

Wind Noise on Driver Side/Front Left Passenger Windows, complaint when you do 1st service.
Soft Car Horn, I usually don't horn ppl. And I'm not impressed if I have nice sound of horn. So I don't mind this.

For Power Performance. I no longer drive like my first car (Manual). I am normal driving type or slow type. I won't rush to somewhere cause it is dangerous

Others problems not available for comments cause not in my Alza.
A lot of Good points for using Alza, only it doesn't appear in Internet / Forums. If appear in Internet / Forum, mostly is negative / problems.
For me, got many good points, sometimes also lazy to write about it. If problems, very hardworking to write the whole essay expecting someone to solve the problems.

Okay, one very good points for me is -> comparing few brands & price, Alza good for me is "Practicality" & "Spacious".

Good Luck

Actually some problem i can accept.. Many ppl said Proton Gen2 have a lot problem.. But when i drive Gen2 since 2008. I course many problem to me even power windows still functioning well. Just Aircond problem (auto on to max and off) and wind noise while speed over 130km/h (even raise the volume). My mod (R3) bumper drop on road coz no clip well... THIS I CANNOT TAHAN ! LOL!!!
Will P2 Alza bumper drop while driving on road ? or.... longgar longgar ??

if bumber drop while driving, 1st thing i will think is bring the car to service centre to complaint & get it fix.
Maximum i will go 2 times, if design fault making cannot rectify, i will bring to 3rd party to rectify this bumper problem (if only exist)

won't drop, just doest clip perfectly

What VS u use? Any Grounding cable added? Cost??

Can show photos?

hi guys since there are these reported alza issues, is there a checklist to follow when collecting the car ?

Check for scratches, electronics, if all the items are in the car. Whatever that does not work, I think they won't replace for you on the spot, but will record down and let you go to the service center to get it done. Basically you want to say "hey, this thing here is what you have done, not me" so later no need to play the game: passing the blame.

No point telling them those listed in this forum, like wind noise, etc.

On a separate news, P2 has finally replaced my spare tyre and a new modified bracket for me. Whole process is about one month. But I am still not completely satisfied with their modification on the bracket. I will add my own to it. Just to be 101% safe.

May I know what is the issue of spare tyre for ur case ?

Spare tyre fell off on the road with the bracket. Read a few post back and you will see my statements.

Wow, that's dangerous if fell.
I changed one time spare tyre before.
So, until now no issue will not have issue right ?
Otherwise how to check if not okay one ?

I can only warn you but I cannot tell the future. These are facts to warn you:
- P2 told me I am not the first
- the bracket that they replaced me are modified, not the same as the usual bracket

So if you think no problem. I'm not unlucky then pls don't do anything. If you think you are concern, then try to do something.

What can I do ?
Peeking into which sections 1st ?
or How to say to the perodua service center officer ? I'm going there next week.

I don't think they will do anything at the moment since you have not gone thru what I have. They will surely not entertain you. You can find ways to tighten the two hooks that secures the bracket. Not the single side tighten with the screw lock.

For my case, I have not touch my spare tyre before. And I really do mean what I said. I have used my car for one year, luckily I didn't need to use it and then one day it flew away. I didn't even get to know its name.

wat is ur number plate....i wan buy it tomolo...lol.... this is QC problem. should bring to news. i feel shame driving my alza after heard ur case....and my fren laugh at my car...

How come recently the alza made a lots problem on QC part?

All the QC go to myvi production line?

Laugh, yes. If I hear it from a fren I would also lol. But when u killed someone (the unlucky one) then it is no more laughing matter. My brief summary again for those who did not read the previous post.

- one strange day, while driving i think 60-70kph, suddenly i heard "crank x3". I tot i ran thru a metal stick
- i look at my rear view mirror, was shocked to see my bracket jatuh, spare tyre terbang higher than superman
- complaint to P2, they send technician to visit me, told me I'm not the first
- think of the letter Y, the single side is locked down with a long screw. U access this screw from the trunk. Unscrew this one screw to release the spare tyre when you need to change or pump air
- the other 2 sides of the letter Y, are supposed to hang on to the car and never come off, but they did while I was driving
- P2 gave me a new bracket with a bigger metal rod that still fits thru the hole, but they are not harder to bend
- cos when i lost my tyre on the road, without jacking the car, kneeling down, one hand tahan the floor, one hand go in underneath the car, I can insert the damn metal rod back in. Just one hand leh abang adik kakak cucu cicit pakcik makcik
- so how firm can this bracket sit and tahan ur tyre from falling off?
- i guess if the strength is just border line, so we are playing russian roulette on the streets
