After 4 Perodua cars, I've always thought of that, but ever since the Alza, I would really doubt that statement...

Second, then first...

Why, you wanna buy...? Or you just wanna criticise what I'm complaining around...?

ni mesti baca dari MyAlza forum....

the last I checked, not recommended coz being too quiet results in heavy pressure within the cabin...

What's your member number...?

And where was your face in the pics on the batch 7 SP DIY session...?

It doesn't work during daytime, I tend to forget locking the car, always have to return to car and check.... Must be my old age...

And I wonder who's that MAOC bugger that's been paying you to promote them kao kao...

My gear not smooth even after 3rd service...

That's just the symptoms of your nightmare... Perodua will say no solution for that...

Okay, for the past 2 days been driving the temporary replacement car from Perodua while my Alza get stuck in SC for a second major repair, and gods knows how many more weeks. And it's a 1st-gen FL MyVi Auto Premium, which I also happened to own another. So now I've got 2 FL MyVi parked in front of my house. First major advantage over the Alza is how the steering really feels when making turns and going over coarse roads. Steering wheel feels a lot less micro-vibrations, and less resistance to turning. And when I talk about resistance to turning, it may have something to do with the too-short an air-cond pipe that is feeding water onto the steering rack causing rust, and it happens on all Alza regardless.

The MyVi from Perodua is on Goodyear donuts (haven't check what series) on the front and a pair of Silverstones on the ass, and my own MyVi is Conti CC1s in all four. While the Alza comes with crappy SS M5s, changing all 4 donuts MAY OR MAY NOT solve or alleviate the steering vibration issues.

So what really screwed up the steering on the Alza...? Heck even the steering wheel surface itself feels rough when they claimed it's a so-called leather wrapped steering. Bear in mind this is not a comparison with another brand nor with another expensive model, but with Perodua's own best-selling model that was selling cheaper than an Alza at that time (RM 49k I presume).



For those Alza owners here who also own FL MyVis, I recommend you to compare the steering feel on both models. The ride on Alza is simply harsh, so bad that I prefer driving the MyVi over the Alza. The only drawback on the MyVi is the somewhat too stiff suspension that ruins the comfort ride.

On another note, sound insulation on a tin-canned MyVi is still way better than a tin-canned, acoustically untreated Alza.


yeah, f***ing unlucky me then... but still I WILL NOT recommend Alza to anyone... worse car money can buy, buy it at your own risk, it's your money anyway...

I'm aiming for early next month coz this month too much commitment...

Sides, my car now in SC, dunno whether can make it out of SC in time for my trip to Penang next month...

A lot of people says VS is a waste of money, and new cars won't benefit much as compared to old cars of more than 5 years. Care to prove them wrong...?

Though I would love to see a VS rejuvenate my car which drives like my gf's 9-year old Kenari...

so what donuts you have in mind...?

Haha... means Michelin PS3 is out of the equation...

Conti CC5 and what was the other brand you suggested...?

But would you be satisfied when every minor defect may have something to do with risking safety of the drivers and their passengers....? And to fix these defects on warranty, are you willing to sacrifice your time sending your car back to SC for testing and repairs...?

Well I have, and right now it's my second time for a second major repair. My first major repair gets me out of reach of my car for over 5 weeks. I don't even wanna imagine how long this second repair will cost me. I've also lost count on how many days of leave taken out of my work just to get my car into SC for other tests and rectifications...

I had that for 2 instances dy... shook the whole car... this happens after a minute warm up and 2 minutes into driving with the fan turned on first, then air-cond... It gave out a loud farting sound... Perodua don't know what's the problem...

Mine waited for 2+ weeks... What was your car problem...?

no comment....

I don't think consumer rights exist in this country...

Classic example... CLASSIC.... Welcome to your worse nightmare...

And who says I'm the only fella with major issues...?

I've also asked for invoice sheet, they still haven't pass me any, dunno maybe they takut i go court with it.

You and I are the same, bought so many Perodua cars, only Alza the most problematic...


Where did you send your car for repairs...? Have you sent feedback thru their webby...?

Now you said you got your car in March 2011... Do you know which year your car was manufactured...?

Mine has lights on gear knob, but mine was late 2010 despite registering in 2011. Your car grant should indicate the model year.

Nope... They added for me during my first major repair, but I fail to see the difference....

I wouldn't suggest dismantling the dashboard... it'll get worse.

And next time if car going into SC, make sure it's left with around 2 bars of petrol... cukup... they wanna test more, ask then refill themselves...
