thats true bro, i usually aim 2k rpm for 80kph hovering. well, if you driving auto FL, try observe whether is there any whining sound when you driving 90kph, by then the rpm was around 2.5k rpm, the whining sound as i mention is something similiar to the sound when the aircraft pick up for takeoff (the high pitch noise). I observe it when it's new, recently not much chance trying 90kph so no idea it's still there, but still (touch wood), the gearbox is functioning well. guess is some resonance within the gearbox maybe....

hmmm.... unsure to be honest, IIRC i do switch off the radio and purposely slowly increase the speed from 80kph to 90kph, and then the sound comes, when i have the chance then i take the cap ayam VS cum voltmeter and plug it into the 12V AUX socket, to see whether any difference. now the tyre is getting old (harden) and roars like nobody's business when it passes rougher road surface. Maybe this able to cover up the whining noise (and this explainas why the noise is not so obvious now.... )

probably the IAFM air flow hissing? i have a saga blm at home, manual, it is quite obvious when it is in 5th gear and the rpm is around 2.5k rpm (yea, another 2.5k rpm). the sound is something similiar to turbo whining hence i think maybe it is due to the IAFM, or maybe another electronic interference case.... not sure, this whining only come when the rpm around 2.5k and light foot, if i slam on the throttle, no whining anymore.

hmmm... alza reverse is ok, at least is less noisy compare to manual myvi.

nope, just the reverse sound a bit annoying, other driving is ok. i think myvi insulation is comparatively better than saga. my house have saga BLM and myvi, now an alza, so i'm pretty much know how each car fare against each other from many perspective.

try another remote and see.... sometimes it could be due to your remote.

bro, green one usually aftermarket parts in SC (not cheap also), the pre install ones is same as yours (roof alike). I think the size is not same for myvi and alza. but honestly i kinda skeptical on the green colour pollen filter, as the holes are so big even i can see things through the filter.

and the tyre is not well balanced, meaning you could have a tyre that is heavier than another fitted, if it's fitted same side front and rear it won't give you headache, if it fitted at different side i.e left and right, you gonna end up like misalignment.

i went to do tyre rotation and alignment checking, alignment is OK, just off a lil bit. After rotate the tyre, the steering veer to one side, then change back to old location, problem solved. tyre man say tyre weight not balanced.

well, it's tyre problem so perodua can easily walk away with it. in malaysia we don't have strong consumer association and NGO body like in other countries. Consumer in Malaysia is simply too easy to be ripped off. Well, local QC mentality is ok ok, ok la.... cincai ok adi.... issue come, "macam ni mia la...."

one of the reason on why car are so expensive in malaysia is due to the high margin by the car company, imagine they can easily slash a few Ks off on the RRP without hurting their income. a good example is Honda Grace in Japan and Honda City in Malaysia, Japan - 1.5 direct injection, top of the line, 4WD, RM78K by exchange rate; City Malaysia, 1.5 port injection, 2WD, Langkawi, selling for RM76K. Something not right, some math will tell the answer.

ofcoz, not to forget about the excise duty on the car as well, good thing when it is setup initially (to bring up local automotive), but what we see now it's not really helping. some party simply taking this as the advantage thus make the build quality drop so much.

Yes, this explains one of the root cause is higher profit margin the auto company is having. Without any branding bias, i felt that Proton is more sincere by giving back the consumer the value by having continuous price down on their product, Perodua comparatively is more stingy, they value engineered your car, and the selling price the same. But still, Perodua repo is better than Proton, build quality, sometimes (or most of the time even maybe all the time) service is cheaper compare to Proton as well. No means of picking up any brand fight as this is my personal opinion, my house have 1 myvi, 1 alza FL and 1 Saga BLM, hence i kinda like able to compare these 3 cars in terms of many aspects.

problem is even Proton is spending more on R&D, yet the selling price of Proton is comparatively lower than Perodua, take example Iriz & Myvi 1.5 Adv, 59K (Iriz) vs 54K (myvi) for labuan pricing, you pay RM5k more you get more airbags & VSA, i doubt all these stuffs will "only" cost RM5K. Yes, i agree to your point that Perodua should focus more on vehicle comfort and safety, however Perodua cars are more comfort than Proton cars, insulation is better, but handling sucks. Safety wise Perodua is not good enough compare to Proton. I wonder they have any capability to improve on the safety of the car to be on par with Proton's as Perodua is more focus on assembly works rather than ground up R&D, perhaps they need to get Daihatsu permission before making changes to the car?

Well about Alza, so far there's no competitor able to compete with it if you looking at the total package, fuel saving + good insulation (malaysian likes good insulation) + easy to handle + not pricey. Livina is way too pricey, Avanza could be near but still the price is too faraway, Exora is good but the branding and the fuel economy wasn't that good, and it's harder to handle (it's more bulky than Alza).

i personally felt that alza aircon is colder than my 1st gen myvi.

and can send for a check by aircond specialist

yep, and the bubble was like the "buih air liur". i not sure what the bubble related to but it indicate something presence in the system.

ain't that a standard size to govern that, refer to the owners manual and see, should have been stated in there, else, cabut the ones in your car and pass it to the spare part shop fella.

i see... i usually focus on the headlight bulb size, no pay attention to it, so far i have no issues with room light for any of the cars in my house so i have no idea on the size. ouch, a bulb can short circuit the fuse, something wrong i think?

thanks for the explanation bro.... yea, usually typical malaysia mentality will get the job done probably 70-80%. but you gotta change the receiver/drier periodically also. coz if it got stuck (or to say the desiccant are filled up with moisture").

i see.... thanks for enlighten me bro.
