Try reset your FC meter and observe the FC. Yea, try train the ECU to suit your driving style, I guess the ECU able to learn up ur style really fast, I drove my girlfriend's myvi just for a day, and tomorrow I'm getting her complain of her throttle feeling awkward,try drive more than 70 if you have chance, I observe that the gear will usually stays at 3rd gear if you go around or lower than 65kph.

You know what, after I reset FC meter and I drove from Bukit Jalil to bukit bintang parked my car went for a drink and drove home, this is what I get O.O

perodua engine is design for low octane rating, RON 90 if i not mistaken. So 95 or 97, it shouldn't be any difference. I tried shell RON97 once, and the was the only 1 time i tried RON97, FC remains the same.

I do know some engine e.g Mazda skyactiv, volkswagen, insight hybrid does feel the difference as the engine is tuned to suit to RON95, hence giving it a RON97 should brings out the "hidden potential"of the engine by a bit.

Yaya, I saw from ALza Uder Manual, the engine IS design for RON90 and above.

there's no km/L for Alza, myvi has it. Press the MID display mode to ODO, then press it until the RANGE blinks (i presume your display mode is in RANGE), then press it one more time... huala!, there you go for AVG display, to reset it, press and hold while the AVG is still blinking. It should turn out to be -.- L/100km

i'm quite worried on the "new gb new problem" statement.  blink.gif  Yours might be the pumping mechanical whining (sort of humming sound even during idle), yea, my alza also have that issue. I'll put more observation on the whining thingy, if it persistent and (maybe) get worse, it's time for a SC visit then.  smile.gif
*
hmm...whining as in how?
So far mine has no issue yet as I always let the Engine warm up properly early morning until the idle settle down only I start to drive and switch on a/c.

Btw, my sales adviser actually recommended me to always turn the ignition key to "Acc", wait for the electrical system to fully run through the car only start the engine.

if you refer to the normal whining i'm mentioning, the sound was something like a low tone humming sound (not a noise), something like aircond compressor on myvi (nguuu........), i believe that belongs to the ATF oil pump and it's normal for pump to have whining sound.

as for the whining at 90kph with 2500rpm, it's a high pitch noise, gentle but you may spot it when there's no other noise i.e no radio, no song, no lorry, no motor beside you. sound something like ngeeeeee...... Maybe my case is isolated case (meaning something went not right during that operating parameter)

I do practice the wait until the airbag & ABS sign went off to start the engine, but i don't stop there to warm up my engine, start the engine, wait the engine drop to normal (usually about 1k+ rpm during cold start, D, go. As usual, i dun push it during warm up.
*
If is High pitch tone i think is normal? I had it in my kenari too. Something like airplane "nngeeeeeeee" in certain speed. LOL what ever you call it.

my alza is nearly about 2 years old. check the maintenance schedule, and found some needed to change according to it.

air clearner element, coolant (long life), Automatic transmission Fluid. Any idea how much would this cost?

Maybe call up Perodua SC to check the price?

Why must he parked his car in a way that I couldn't see the car number plate, 2nd when I ask him leave his name card at my house gate for me to verify later with my Car Sales Adviser, he say nothing and left, 3rd why he was stunned after he said Perodua Original lock no good and I replied him that My sales adviser upgraded my car security to 3rd Party Security, 4th my neighbor saw him walking around my car suspiciously until my dog barked at him only he stand at the gate.

All these small detail made me feels that he is not here to Sale Product.

you know, i notice alza paint very easy to be stain / scratched. I washed my silver alza the other day, noticed there is stone scratches on the hood, tar scratches on the bumper as well as theres a peeled off stone damaged paint on my front skirting.
Then on my alza roof near by the antena, there's a small rusted dot = =

Then just today, when i was driving 80km/h on the way to air port, theres a piece of card box (already crumble by lot of cars), hit my front skirting again. Now there's extra scratches on it = =

I think they are using budget paint coating?

any way tomorrow I be traveling to Penang from KL, will report back on the mileage result tongue.gif as well as the ride result.

agree on the bodykit is quite low. Just dun drive fast when you expecting some ups and downs on the road especially in the shopping mall parking lot.
check your owners manual, i believe is stated there. if the fuse is OK, then bring it to the SC for a check up.
there's a possibility for that, else how could you get more features with a lower price tag? it should be some cost cutting somewhere that we not able to see it.
on the rusted dot, take it to SC and see what they say about it, i believe the roof panel is warrantied against rusting.

Agree, well just save money to do a respray after 1 year tongue.gif

Any way, reached penang yesterday.

My commend for the Alza;

Highway drive;
Fuel: Doing great 6 liter per 100km
Comfort: Not too bad (way better then my old Kenari of cause)
Air cond: Good
Speed: Good
Responsiveness: Good
Origina Stocks Tyre: Sucks, noisy, and bouncy (will endure this weakness until next tyre change)
Noise: neutral

Town drive;
Fuel: Not too bad 6.9 - 7.8 Liter per 100km
Comfort: Good
Air cond: Good
Speed: Good
Responsiveness: Good
Tyre: Still sucks
Noise: Okay
Bind spot: Moderate (depend on personal experience, I drove kenari last time, still learning alza body size lol.)

Today I will make a trip up to Kek Lok Si Mountain, let's see how it handle the small hill and small road drive.
