same here bro, i whack 140kph with the ayam stock tyre, 6 pax on board, feels allright. Just a short distance 140kph sprint though.

take a trip down to balik pulau, enjoy the laksa there, durian as well, you have a better feel on the engine & gb on a wider hilly road.

Hi guys. Last Tuesday drove the car from klia to perlis. Manual calculation Fuel consumption 7.2liter/100km. Highway road all the way except few 40km before entering toll. Drove about 100 to 120kph. But I also try for top speed. Only reach 155kph as per gps speed. But my speedometer seem out abit, it shows 160kph. Nothing much to complain about the car. Seem fine to me. Noise level ok, handling ok, if you drive 120kph the body seem to be stable. If going faster feel abit rocky. Responsive enough to overtake.

Problem wise, my interior light not switching off when door close. The front door side panel seem to be bouncing out when closing windows. Bluetooth can't be detect at all. Try with several phone, none detect the bluetooth of radio. And the front skirting is low for me. Already scratch it during parking. Hehehe.

Sure thing, will try that next.

I just back from Penang Batu Feringi to George Town, terrifying road = = bloody uncle driving a mini couple just stop in middle of the road to decide to keep left or right.

My drive from George Town to Batu Ferringi and back to George Town did a heavy blow to my FC, 10.2liter per 100km.

The problem is I can't read where this nut head driver from Penang (no offence penang brothers / sisters) wants to go, a minute they are 30% on left lane 70% on right lane, the next minute they sped off to the right lane then made a sharp left turn.

Hi Guys..just book my alza se..the SA said now have to wait for at least 2 months..is it normal?

Welcome to your worst nightmare...?

2 months wait... 3 months drive... another few months stuck in kilang...

Good Luck...

seems high FC? either you step hard on the throttle or it's jammed. Hmmm...



i'm driving in penang. yea, some road users here are nut head and some times they can do something "out of the box".

I had to over take slow clumsy driver and escape from them before they did something out of the box to my car XD

now you know how painful driving in penang....

I always knew it is a pain in the backside to drive in penang, drove few times in penang with my old Kenari not as stressful as this round with alza. First Kenari was smaller = easier handling, 2nd Kenari was few years old = even some scratch I have no feeling.

This Alza, First Bigger and Longer then Kenari = haven't fully use to it's blind spot / body area, 2nd New car = extra careful on the road. LOL

Any way I am back n KL now below are the overall review on Alza Advance;

Fuel: Great, doing 6.2 Liter per 100km in average (Highway)

Comfort: Good (This comment will be subjective as I upgraded from a Kenari)

A/C: Great

GPS: Sucks, lucky I have my trusty Nokia GPS & Waze

Entertainment: Great, I modified the Main Screen to be able to watch Movie even in drive mode. (So that my front
passenger can do co-driver duty instead of falling asleep)

Entertainment Audio Quality: Not too bad (Subjective comment as I upgraded from a Kenari)

Interior Heat: Will get a bit heaty if under direct Sunlight due to stock security film does not help in blocking sun light. (Thank god the A/C is good to cool down the space)

Interior Noise: A bit noisy due to the stock silverstone tire, Engine Noise when in High RPM or High KM/H (but I am ok with the engine noise as it's a music to my ear )

Ride Quality & Handling Feels: Not too bad actually, some corners / straight road will be dangerous when in High Speed due to the Stock Silverstone tire as it's bouncy and not so good in gripping when cornering.

Pick-up acceleration: Not too bad.

Breaking Quality: So far so good (Subjective comment as I upgraded from a Kenari), but need to beware on the breaking distance as Alza has a heavier body as well as the stock tire does not help much on corner breaking.

Interior Space: If travel by 3-4 pax will be very comfortable and spacious, I only travel with mum, the extra space can allow us with more shopping goods

Car exterior: Paint no good, easy to be scratched and LOVE to stick with stain. Compare with my old kenari, Alza Advance paint should be low quality paint material. On the road there's some light weight soft debris / rubbish /small stone hit my front bumper / skirting / car body when I was driving between 90 - 120 km/h. There is visible scratches on car body. Not sure if this happen to any one else. But it is recommended not to go back to Perodua SC for a repaint as they may be using back the same grade of paint.

Thats all for my review

Alza only 4.23m long, even 4cm shorter than the old Proton Wira...

Wait until you drive an SUV or a D-segment car... I bet you'll be even more stressful...

Most stressful driving, navigating my boss' Alphard on the narrow streets of Melaka... Luckily the comfy-ness of the Alphard alleviate some of my stress...

Bought this from a shop in Ipoh RM400 only.
Proride standard absorber, plan to pair with ori springs.

Too bad they dont have stock for Proride brake pad & rotor.

My Alza gonna be 2.5 yrs old.
Mileage >40k

Is it good?
My old kenari used Grabber

Agree, I drove estima to Penang once and Johor once. Then Triton around KL area few times. Both also not my car, and it's old so I don't feel that stressful to be honest LOL.

Alza much more stressful is cause of my hard earn money XD

By the way, I know this is out of topic. But I believe Alza club member should see this, as I drove in Ipoh near by "Lou Wong Chicken Rice" restaurant area. There is a lot of so call "Parking Assistant Person" around that area giving you "assist" in your parking then they ask for RM5 - RM10 or more.

See below photo, there's a guy standing on the left of my car front wind screen? I was actually parked there then he walked to me and ask for money, of cause I refuse. He threaten to scratch my car if I do not pay up, so fine I reverse out and drove away, he actually pointed international finger at me, though my cheap car cam can't capture it clear enough.




Below another 2 more photo of those idiot around the area.





I saw some of them with Parking coupon and they selling it at higher price then you can buy from authorized coupon seller. I strictly do not support these kind of illegal services thou, when the Ipoh Official pop up they ran away.

I have not install yet.

Already checked the fuse, and didn't find any damaged fuses.

am gonna send it to perodua SC for check-up.

Hi any suggestion for add on to absorber? The alza absrber are some how too soft...

Budget solution: Can try install buffer, Perodua SC can do it for you but need to make order first before sending the car for installation.

my personal opinion on buffer is ----> useless... your spring only stiff for a short period and the old feeling comes back.

the area is already well known of those parking assitant buggers, everytime i back to ipoh i will park other place instead of parking near there...
