That's about it... Alza has a heavy ass...

Don't end up busting the gearbox ok...

And for new owners... Welcome to your worst nightmare...

And more and more kena baker later… Be careful with your rides yea… There's a reason why they bring down the price…

I sold off my alza right after warranty expires… recurring gearbox problem… good luck with your 4th and 5th year…

Makes no difference… 3+2 is basically 3 years from Perodua, 2 years from insurance… If you know of VW's 2+3 years warranty, this is the same shit… Don't bother extending it...

Bought mine Premium version 62k… After 3 years, 35k only...

Oh yes I did…

Since I did not take any loan for the Alza hence no extra payment for loan interest, 27k depreciation is still well below the half price mark, dump everything else on a Jazz…

Don't get jeles yea….

el-crappo…! I thought they fixed the issue with a recall on both Alza and 1st-gen MyVi 2 years back…

Check your steering rack again see if the affected area is wrapped with some sort of transparent plastic, and if the water hose is extended...

Else go highlight to SC and get them fix it for you… It seems like P2 never improve on quality...

You have a serious attitude problem dude…

Any newly designed models bound to have some issues, that's why facelifted models are introduced… However for the Alza, it is currently on the facelifted model, still plagued with pre-FL problems…

I bet when you go cancel loan, your SA will bug you to say "Your car just arrived!"… And some poor sap will have to wait for his/her car even longer…

And I thought you were laughing at me for getting a Jazz… I supposed you have to eat your own words then

Here's my take before finally got my current Jazz:

1. Honda City (old model) - facelifted, outgoing but less problem of a model. Very interested, but sadly I couldn't get one on time, ran out of stock due to 10k discount.
2. Honda City (new model) - Can't wait for the new one coz 3 months wait prior to lunch. Going back to CVT I takut a bit since Honda's debacle with CVT two models back. Rule of thumb, new stuff maybe problematic.
3. Honda Jazz 2015 - Not yet launched, some improvement over current Jazz, the rest pretty much the same as new City with CVT gearbox, probably only 2 disc brakes, if Honda introduce multiple variants like City, then low-end Jazz no VSA, else get ready to fork out 90k.
3. Toyota Vios - Never give a damn, expensive and no ESP, not even on G or TRD spec.
4. Suprima S - Engine of unknown reliability (nanti turbo pecah), noisy CVT box, and high FC.
5. Kia Rio - A really serious contender to the current Jazz. I was thinking of getting this one as well, lots of toys, pretty well-equipped. Downside, only 4-speeder for a 1.4, FC makan like a big ass SUV, not yet facelifted, so a lot of problems to sort out as well. Noises everywhere (especially mechanical, not aesthetics). Some even resort to pumping RON97 to get rid of some engine noises...

So that's why I ended up with a current facelifted Jazz… cheap and basic, so far no problem, comes with VSA (or ESP), 4 disc brakes, 5-speeder, peppy engine… Only downside is the smaller cabin space compared to Alza…


So if your arrogance still get the best (or the worse) of you, then you can ignore my advices here. I bet they can still benefit other people here.

1) It may come from the blackbox at the rear window of the trunk door. Stuff some insulflex inside it… ALso could be from your spare tyre compartment where the tools for changing tyres are stored… They can give out rattling sounds if not properly seated. Fill the gaps with insulflex or whatever you can find...
2) Change to better brake pads for stronger braking and lesser dust on rims...
3 and 4) Changing to better tyres may alleviate some of your bumpy ride… SS Synergy M5 is hard...
5) Did you mean air-cond compressor…? Go look for uncle tyenfei, get his Edge VS…

And why did you move from Forte to Alza…?

vroom vroom...

don't blow up the turbo...

Perodua should at least source a 5sp AT for the Alza and MyVi... 4sp is ancient considering most manufacturers are into 5 or even 6sp

Welcome To Your Worst Nightmare...!!!

Used Camry nice to drive, nice to show off... But once it comes to maintenance, your pants gonna drop...! 2.4V petrol makan minyak like shit... Full tank RM 125 on a sluggish RON95, but gives you mileage about 600km or less, that's about 10km/L or 10L/100km...And with age, it's gonna makan more...

Alza can at least still can give you 12.3km/L or 8.13L/100km lugging the heavy ass, of coz don't expect much power compared to Camry lar... And when it comes to repair, you have 3 years to warranty, so if it does give you NIGHTMARES, you don't have to worry about forking out money for repairs, you will only need to fork out TIME going in and out of SC...

Else fork out more for a City, more warranty, more fuel efficient, more peace of mind...

Welcome to your worst nightmare...!

back seats not comfy also...

Even with the facelifted model...?

Nak tahan makan or tahan lasak...?

Tahan makan, PS3 lor... Tahan makan, XM2 which you have already tried, or CC5...

I won't call that cons... Now that you have UR bar installed, get grippy tyres like Michelin PS3, then you can throw your Alza on every corners you can find with confidence... By the way, does that UR bar reduce vibrations and harshness...? I never install those bars, instead I foamed the chassis, so I get less vibrations and harshness, at the same time improve handling, whack corners and potholes with confidence... Usually I cruise 140kph avg steady...

But one thing I hate cruising on the Alza is due to the 4 speeder. 140kph goes around 3.5k rpm, noisy engine like strangling the chicken while forcing it to chicken-run around...

I went KL Auto, a bit expensive... RM 980...

980 for the underpart chassis lor...

A, B, C, and D pillar separate charges... 300 per pair of pillars... Yes KL Auto is pricey... But that was the only one I knew of at that time (say 3 years ago) before other competitors started sprouting...
