Those giving comments on crappy tires - a friend almost killed himself 2 days back, new car advanced model out only for 2 days and he balik kampung, car skidded going downhill and flipped - he quoted something like the rear lost grip!! ABS??

Aiyoyo.. your friend okay? hope nothing serious.

The rear lost grip during downhill... not speeding? Like that the car bye bye lo.

I do agree with Kimi and E, better tyres save lifes. Don't think of wasting $ so fast to change tyres, think of RM1000+- can have safer drive.

As I ride a honda cbr sportbike, I changed the tyres in 1 week and pay for RM900 for that. Don't play play as these tyres saved me few times.

ABS has nothing to do with skiding .. i think more likely misfortune of ur friend.. oily road maybe...

what brand petrol u guys using? Anyone wanna share? im using shell 95 bt just switch to BHP 95

depends on individual preference. Also please note that some station with same brand has different 'power' as i experienced before.

EG. Shell in Tmn Desa - OUT. (3 bikes plus 2 cars confirmed.), Shell in PJS 1 near tmn sri manja - OUT. Caltex - Kesas USJ bound - OUT.

After waiting for 2 weeks, at last the SC call. My new power steering pump have reach and i can change it free of charge. Already book tis friday to do it and need only 3 hours to get it change.

To me, all Shell RON95 are out... But I'm surprised you voted Caltex out...

Hi Eithanius,

I did not opt out all shell nor all caltex.

I just listed only the 'station' that I opted out not the brand. yet.

Some of actual feedback not just from me, it is also my friends from that stations are:
1. very low power
2. less mileage (170km compared to 250km RM20, city ride on CBR250).

so how do I justify is the petrol is good? Based on the millege I pump? Im trying BHP now but I heard Caltex is good hmm

best bucks for ur money spent lor.. pump full tank.. c which give u the most value... not jus in term of ur mileage but power, rebet, points etc

good point...

Power Delivery = BHP, Caltex (Alza)
Points = Petron Smiles, credit cards may vary...
Rebate = Maybank AMEX card for weekend pump 5%, other platinum cards may offer higher percentage all week.
Mileage = Petronas (Jazz), have yet to try BHP and Caltex on current car...
Tank = 1st half offers better mileage than second half. This is tested on my Jazz, you guys may wanna try Alza, but since Alza has heavier ass, your mileage may vary.

best bucks for me currently us petron pump with Maybank amex on weekend (5%cash back+5x points), petron miles is counted as money spents so i like it better compare to shell bonuslink which is litre pumped... then the petrol station nearby me also gave another good deal.. for every rm50 pump give a bottle of mineral water and free tyre polish...

mmm... for me personally, i will know when there is lack of pick up or increase in pick up when switching station.

another example is increase or decrease of mileage from every full tank. Bare in mind that need to consider the different driving style or situation (jam, hiway) for each fill up.

thank you guys giving a lot advice and comments~~~

yes anyone, please share, i plan to install it to my new alza se....

i want ask anyone know where can buy oem brake pedal lock for new alza , and also the skirting. Is it old alza bodykit side skirting can fit with new alza thanks?

anyone notice stock alza if go beyond 60km/h during heavy rain, it is most probably going to skid.

what's the issue there ???

1. due to stock tyre 185/55/15 silverstone M5 lousy?

2. due to car weight very light ?

3. due to aerodynamic issue compared to sedan?

4. floor clearance height higher than sedan?

please advise, really worry about alza owner since recently afternoon heavy rain.

my previous car going at 120km/h during heavy rain, no problems at all, no skid nothing.

water pond sure die la

1. It has been discussed throughout the entire thread and in fact the previous thread... M5 sucks, and a danger all Alza owners and other road users... Don't save up for the sake of saving money, spend it to change to better donuts...

2. Alza has a heavy ass...

3. No comment...

4. Probably...

And may I add the following...

5. The absence of VSA/VSC/ESP/ESC is one of the reasons I ditched my Alza...

6. Who in the right mind would speed 120kph during heavy rain even with stability control...?


Good luck...
