35k is very low I think... but again, we can't expect much.

Alza is at the 60k range of price.  for some, sound cheap, some said affordable, to some it is expensive.
We hope all of us don't have major issue with the car we own.  Minor issue + wear n tear.. is expected.
Parts are not very expensive though.

Also to add about the extended warranty, if I gonna take that, means that I have to go back to the SC for all the maintenance.. it cost lots more compared to the places I go now.. this cannot do that cannot do, else void.. yet paying the insurance.  Of course, if something big happen, then you are covered.  I still dont get the buy in.

Also to read the 'fine print' on the extended warranty.. what it is covered and what not.  We must learn from the painful experience that VW customer face.  In the biz world, there is no free lunch.

Extended warranty covers very little. Usually only Engine and gearbox. Everything else, you pikir lah sendiri...which is why i will rather not take it.

A good SA is very important, if you all want i can intro you mine, within 2 weeks done from loan to delivery. PBB 2.93%.

To own a MPV with 60k , except alza dont have any other choice. My supports on alza are below:
1) Cheap and big space
2) Cant found any new mpv in this price
3) 3yrs free engine oil and labour charge
4) 5 yrs dabao still got buyers, not a cold market car
5) Service fee cheap
6) Minor issue every car sure got even a Alphard - rattiling sound same sure got for mpv.
7) FC is more than myvi just abit more not significant like Forte or RIO.
8) Tall and very good visibility. Not like Forte and Rio, i'm sinking inside when drive poor visiblity and many blind spot.

My Cons on Alza:
1) Rattling sound from behind, need time find out but i'm lazy so i can tahan, still new not prominent the sound.
2) Brake pad is poor, brake press height level can be adjusted.
3) Bumpy absorber - change better absorber when is kong
4) Stock tyre less grip and noisy
5) Alternator kick in too frequent, light dim when it kick in.
5) Still finding.......

Engine performance:
0-5000km -  Lack of power can be felt. After 2nd oil change, smooth and responsive.

NVH:
Better than previous gen alza due to added sound insulator for this new facelift alza. Engine sound 3K above sound only start noticeable.

Conclusion: Still the same, i buy this car is because of price and worthiness. Alza SE Ivory White owner 3 months here is recommended for a buy. Previous car: 1st Myvi, 2nd Forte, current Alza. Hope my review can help you all. smile.gif

Very good points....now looking for car for wife...hard to decide...VIOS, CITY, New Jazz, RIO, Alza

I have tested all (except new Jazz of course, but tested hybrid jazz)
Kepala pusing-pusing. rclxub.gif

Initially aiming for Alza Advance, maybe i should lower the target to the Alza SE...Alza Advanced doesn't seems to worth the money...hmmm...it's not like got people watch video everyday at the back!!!

I really like RIO, but the reported high FC scares me. VIOS i hate but it's a logical choice due to RV. All i need is a car with decent FC to move from point A-B.
