tyenfei, it seems like you're not confident enough with this car...? don't get offended by my statement though... sweat.gif

anyhow, my conclusion stands, DO NOT BUY AN ALZA unless you have plenty of time to waste getting it stranded at Perodua SC to fix this and that, and plenty of money to fix their plunders and replace poor quality and missing parts.

My Alza has been giving me endless problems. I've already spent 4k on improving sound insulation and ride comfort (read sound insulation and ride comfort ONLY). I have to admit I'm not a DIY kinda person to do sound insulation like some of the members here, I really respect them for their efforts. But so far I'm close to achieving what I've got on this car (it means I'm gonna spend more on this guinea pig), but with 4k it can be used on something more useful. This 4k of mine is used to fix what Perodua failed to offer for an overpriced 60 grand tin can. Even a Naza Citra now going for 70 grand offers better insulation and comfort with a bigger engine capacity albeit the fuel consumption.

If you see the list of problems on the first post, my car has 80% of the issues on the list. And more coming on the way and yet to be rectified. Just look at the lousy brake pads that causes dirty rims. Perodua said it's normal, that all cars has it. Granted it's true, but is it to that extent that the rims gets charcoal black in a matter of days..? Since they offer no better solution, we poor saps have to fork out just to get better grade brake pads.

I can be sure the maintenance for this car will skyrocket once the warranty goes out. I'll be rushing to sell this piece of junk once it does, not betting on high resale value though, coz by then many people will know how lousy this car is.

fully agree with you . after 2 years , I spend endless time in their sc , because their poor QC and parts . until today , the wind noise still occurs after 70km/h , the sc changes the rubber for 3 times in 2 years , my aircon magnetic clutch being changes in denso sc . the bluetooth have problem since day 1 . there are some weird sound in the car when driving , and after 2 years , the brake pad need to be changed , and it cost me 200 in the sc .

if you want to spend the valuable time , please buy alza , else , look for something else .

yeah..sory avanza handling is more or less same like ALZA..
i actually mean for the next to avanza car tht i mention which is estima..
if u want a bigger family car..i thinks ALZA is not a good choice...the interior space is much more like livina..

like my dad ALZA..the last seat (rear) only can fit a child or small person and very very not comfortable...
plus when we use the reat seat..so the compartment is drastically reduce..Nak BUH apa Kat belakang bonet kalau ruang CIPUT macam gitu..haiz..

if person size like me indeed feel like in "tin sardin" haha
indeed, the first and second row space is quite good...

for more comfortable MPV i think should top up a bit and buy exora or innova (driving not stable too but more spacious)

with 65k car like ALZA is really affordable MPV nowdays..but..comfort?? HEAVEN on front and middle seat area..but HELL on the back seat position..

you should treat alza as "wagon" , even children will not sit comfortably in the 3rd row , I was regret did not test other "mpv" when bought the alza 2 years ago .

so far I had test drive the stavic and eastar , they are really a mpv . to test drive , ask 7 adults sit in the car and test .

there is ergonomic build problem for alza on their 2rd row .

You are satisfied with your car because you have something that earlier batches do not have.... You try to drive the earlier batches and you'll know how uncomfortable they are...

And you said they already have a solution... That is a solution for you and new owners, not for me... P2 never bothered to call me or any other earlier owners for solutions... All they know is just to make fast profit... So you think I b**** about it or not...?

You doubt my issues, that's fine by me, pray yours stay problem-free that way, becoz mine does not, and every time I have to write in repeatedly to get them fix... You know sometimes I DO regret doing sound proofing when P2 is not sincere about rectifying other problems of existing owners. Had I know of more problems cropped up I would have just crash that piece of junk into their HQ - but I'm not that crazy to do that. I would rather have them sue me for bad-mouthing their product.

And here I am trying to warn other against buying these piece of junk, you bising buat apa...? Might as well make that effort to encourage people to buy cars from your yard.

the earlier batch got a lot of issues , mine is 2010 June . the bluetooth is not working , then replace the wind strip for few times , but they never get the wind noise fix ... I also got the aircon magnetic clutch replaced , the sc did not told me there is issue in the magnetic clutch , but some one told me , that this is known issues , unless you find out yourself , else they never bother to let you know . the passenger chair got tick tock tick tock sound , air cond rising got "errr errr" sound in low gear . I also had to add the "comfort seat" at 90Rm per door , total 360Rm . else when you close the door , the sound look like milo tin , sound like "piang piang" ... got my roof insulator replace , else raining will drive you crazy ...

p2 services is sucks , their quality is as bad as p1 . and sc will not bother you , they just want your hard earn money ...
going to sc is really wasting of my time ...

yeah! cool down guys.
it is just a car (or mpv)

alza is not a mpv , it's a wagon smile.gif try to ask adult to sit in the 3rd row and driver for an hour , ask their comment .
it's like driving a boat and the leg need to squeeze into the cabin . stavic/starex are mpv . they can seat 7 adult with lot of space for luggage .

p2 is selling wagon not mpv .

I went to see the Chery Easter. Wahlau... go find out at their showroom.

went to cherry in BJ last few weeks , the 3rd row design like theater seat , but the trade in price for my alza is lower .
also a bit worry about the quality , will check kia rondo and innova later

in their brochure, that's why i don't believe too.
How long you guy wait for the service normally?

*
2 hours for normal service , 4 hours for replace window strip another 4 hours for aircon rising .
4 hours for install the radio .

2 month for waiting for spare part e.g. aircon rising , radio .

Not fuel inside cabin....We are talking about fuel smell inside cabin....yes, fill up full tank and we can enjoy smelling fuel smell inside cabin....after that all the guests inside the car will complain and have a bad experience.......

Think yourself......It is normal to smell fuel after fill up full tank? If you like to smell it and deserved to get lung cancer, then you can ignore it.....but for your information, all the 20-30 years old car don't have this problem....But Alza is built at 2012.....I have a more than 20 years old toyota car and a more than 10 years honda car....both of them won't have any fuel smell inside cabin.....It is a shame for Perodua to build this kind of lousy car....
Congratulation~ You received a KERETA MUDAH TERBAKAR alza....
btw, i guess is the lousy filtering system that can't stop the smell from leaking to cabin.....the system is even lousy than those 1980-1990 cars....if you want to know fuel leakage or not, you can observe the floor....if floor has petrol, then is fuel leaking....
