retail is 70k, right?

i got it for 65k because according to salesman, that particular unit is stock from last year, so got discount  nod.gif

That's a lot for a discount... you better check the condition of it before register... I suspect something is not right with the car... First thing, check the back wiper, they may have fitted a longer blade meant for 1st-gen MyVi, later it scratch your car spoiler... The rest I'm sure you can manage... Problems will not show up until weeks after you've driven the car...

PS: Why anti-Livina....? It performs better than Alza, unless you're P2 fanboi... tongue.gif

according to my wife,

Maybe you can ask your wife why 2nd row is the decisive point of an Alza over Livina... I do know that 2nd row is rather spacious to the legroom when the seats are extended all the way to the back...

Btw, you don't happen to be driving along Jalan SSAAS Airport road Tuesday nite...? brows.gif

Spotted an MAOC KL Crew but din manage to snap pic, was driving too fast... doh.gif

space and seat more comfort, windows view wider. and .... .... less jumpy feel compare with Livina blink.gif

i think i know why, because of the position of back wheel. Both car different.


SSAAS Airport ?? Nope icon_idea.gif

I was slow driving during traffic jam along connaught towards kajang way ... doh.gif

Hi all Alza bros, thanks for all the tips & reviews on tyre brands. I finally changed my crappy stock Silverstone Synergy M5 to Continental CC5 after 45000km shakehead.gif. The shop owner said since there's not much thread left on my M5 I can't trade them in. However, he included alignment, balancing & something else for RM200/tyre. So, my total damage is RM800.

I must say the ride after that is quieter with lesser coarse sound from the road. Riding over rough road was also a little softer. Overall, I'm satisfied with them.

Does anyone know if there is any blower (similar to the one in Avanza) which can be installed in Alza from any accessory shops? If there is I may want to install one so that the 3rd row seat will get more air.

no need to be so confusing, if u really want car, just go ahead and get 1, stop looking at MPV.....

"car-like" this and "car-like" that doesnt always means good.... unsure.gif

Mitsu Triton is already an example, bad one..... (but of coz u can say that is a pickup, not MPV) sweat.gif

NBTD..., just wanna post more complains about Alza from other webbies...

Just read the comments from Mar 2010 to Mar 2012 (bugger...! People still complaining of issues despite having Alzas on the streets for over 2 years already):

http://www.wheel-o-sophy.com/2010/03/07/pe...ssues-problems/


Long story short, DO NOT BUY ALZA, OR YOU LIVE TO REGRET IT....!!!

Don't risk your lives, or the lives of your loved ones with this car...


wtm0325, can we start a list of webbies with all those comments on issues with this car on your top post...? brows.gif

For wat? tongue.gif We already cover most of the issues tongue.gif

Anyway I just installed Ultra Racing front strut bar today brows.gif positive experience atm, better handling (meaning I can control the car better, easier to predict the movement). Thought can help on the steering vibrate when cornering, but no helping also tongue.gif

The mod for my car atm, coil spring buffer each spring + front strut bar + CC5 tyre, handling (easier to control car) is so much better. Ride is firm but not harsh, still comfort (from drivers point of view) tongue.gif Thinking to live with the condition like this atm, don't want to spend extra for foaming..

The next thing to improve is soundproofing.. Gonna study more and DIY.. Looking forward to spend only RM200 for material..

Yup. DIY my soundproof on front bonnet, 5 doors and roof. No satisfied the result enough.

Thinking to DIY again at:
1) 5 door
2) 4 Fender
3) Firewall area (Under wiper)
4) And rectify some "nyet nyet" sound from passenger seat

If you don't mind to come over around my area (Puchong/Old Klang Road), we can do together tongue.gif

Ultra Racing Front Strut Bar RM120 with installation. This one better let foreman do because need to dismantle the viper and the whole bay as the alza engine bay is very cramp.
I did it here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1881312&hl=

Yours may feel too firm with front strut bar because your car is already injected with auto foam tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif Well I am not sure but just a point for you to note. Nonetheless I am quite syok now coz can cornering faster brows.gif

hmm really wonder if the front strut bar really work or not?

last time I put hotbits strutbar front and rear for satria 1.8, can' t feel the difference.
then put UR rear ARB on myvi (forgot the diameter) I think it was 15mm, also can' t really feel the difference.
that' s why I still putting off the decision to install these bars (added weight) on my alza.
alza oledi come with rear ARB (looks like 15mm) but UR is making 18mm and 23mm version.

gonna try the AMT spring buffer later.
already bought from lelong.com.my but have not install yet.
