I also hope I drive Audi

Going to install the custom grounding cable today.

Will give some review a few days later. Only GC, VS still the double imitation one.. see what will Mr Eric say later.

Who is planning to buy ALZA, please think twice. I got my alza 2 weeks ago but it still in Service center for 2 weeks. I already reported to Tribunal for Consumer, Hope it can help me to request to get a new car. My Alza encountered serious gear problem. They changed new gearbox and new wiring, but the problem still cant be solved.

Done the COD and installation of custom made GC

5 Points GC from Eric for P2 Alza Auto. Remove exiting 5 points imitation HKS & 3 points imitation pivot GC.

My result :

1. Engine sound very smooth during idle. No more sudden high RPM then drop down.
2. Gear shift smoother than before. (before also smooth but now better)
3. Headlight dim when air cond kick in hardly noticeable, unless purposely wait to "catch" it.
4. Air cond kick in become very smooth. Hardly notice of shake during kick in. (last time less feeling after install VS+GC but once in a while still feel the harder one)

Note : I still using 2 unit VS (imitation). Next target will be Eric custom made VS

Really recommend. He use the meter to get the reading make sure all cable installed is functioning.

Let us know of the tribunal's decision.

Still puzzles me why ppl still buy this ALZA..

I just sent on saturday, waiting for their reply. Tribunal on can claim up to rm25k, so i worried they cant handle my case.. Haizzz....regret, better buy citra or vios....I just cant imagine they cant find out the main cause even though the technician from PERODUA HQ

Too bad there is no whole car to whole car replacement in the market practice. One, two bad comments won't affect the whole market, not everyone reads this forum too.

Good reviews are more than bad, P2 will continue to sell or even increase price if it market permits. Until one day the car kills somone somehow... don't dream that it will discontinue or even give a discount.

Really disappointed with Perodua Quality, I think will send an email to newspaper , see whether they will publish in news or not. But i only will do this after got my car and prepare all the evidence. Hopefully, newspaper will publish it and this will make Perodua to increase their quality at future.

Finally I change to Continental CC5 195/55/R15 4pcs straight this morning because out of the original tyre (Synergy M5) 2 pcs were "bengkak" which will blow anytime and another 1pcs was hitted with screw. My car mileage is about 34k as now, the tyres tread were about 50% left.

Review of CC5 (compare with Synergy M5)

Noise
- It is a very big improvement.
- On highway, the music sound (USB) can still be heard even the volume is 5 at the speed of 110kph. The music slowly unhearable after 120kph, mainly covered by the wind sound of side mirror and engine noise.
- In town driving, the sound impact from uneven roads/bumps is greatly reduced, no more "batu" feeling.
- No more tyre rubber sound in shopping complex parking.
- When the car is not moving, no visible tyre noise when turning steering.
- Now engine noise is the most visible sound.
- On the other hand, steering rack vibrate still persist.

Performance
- Pickup not as good as Synergy M5 but very close, due to size 195/55/R15. (I don't mind for the sake of comfort )
- On dry road, suprisingly it is not as grippy as Synery M5 when speeding above 130kph, maybe it is still new. Keep in view.
- Haven't really tested cornering, but sidewall seems softer, may not as zippy as Synergy M5. Keep in view.
- Haven't tested wet performance, it is not raining today
- On the other hand, speedo meter change to slightly slower by 5-10kph (means actual speed faster).

Summary
- It is well worth if what you want is a more comfort drive

I think if you go alone, maybe you are not news worthy, because how many similar problems? But if you a club member, you represent a group of people, who has similar concerns, then it is more worthy of investigation to see if it is news worthy.

One person cry wolf, nobody cares. One hundred person cry wolf together, no wolf also ppl run fast fast.

My friend's new Inspira just get 2 days then can't start.

So ? haiz .. luck and QC ..

Yeah, what was that...? come again.... now every one... all together now: Malaysia Boleh!!

I'm not saying other foreign brands don't have problems. I'm sure to a few, merc and bmw, audi even Ferrari sucks. But this is what I'm saying: Malaysia made cars are TOO expensive for this quality. Go close the Alza cr door and listen to it, and try to feel proud. So why are we not proud? Cos we know we got cheated. The price and quality does NOT match.

Why some sell goreng pisang or small noodle shop but super proud of themselves? Cos no matter how big or how small, how little the value, their quality and price matches. And customers queue up to get them. They might have a lot of outlets and make lots of money from such small shops, small operation. Their offer is just, no price fixing like the case of our car industry. Distorted car prices, making only a handful rich, while the rest of us take up years of loan to support their lavish lifestyle. And we are to go to the kedai rakyat while they fly to paris italy.

All together one last time: Malaysia Boleh!!

lol... i just bought this car.. hopefully i get the good one

They will ask you.
No problem to take ur case, if win, maximum get RM25K, you still want or not ?
If more than that you want, you need submit to higher court.

Don't buy car better, no problem to think.
Take LRT & Bus. More cheaper.
May be consider change job, find the office near your house.

hi guys,been reading this forum from 1st page...mostly bad comments that good one...actually i surveying alza to replace my 5 years old saga lmst but the review here makes me think twice about buying it... also tested citra...price almost same but alza premium has more spec an bigger interior..so should i go for alza or citra becos my budget is around 60k

not only the problem of car u need to know.

also the resale value, spare part support, FC (as specially after 2~3yrs) ..

For my case, Alza serve me well. Citra was in my list also, nice price with 2.0.. hehe.

maybe proton saga flx 1.6? comment looks so good

Alza actually is in my list, just I found it a bit smaller boot space,

But the quality wise where got so poors than Kenari, kancil, kembara, kelisa.

Just depend how you look at the car, the main design is from toyota & daihatsu company,

Even I put the car outside and no roof cover to attack the sun light & rain for 10 years over never found the Rust at all.

Maybe on FC just slightly badly lah to compare high power or light weight car.

Recent cars where got wont spoil on parts if all design still like a 20 years old car spare parts tahan like rock.

Most of company facing to be close down the production, cause just you bought one unit of car can be used up to another 20-30 years and change to new

Plus minor parts or defect from factory is should have one..
