Hi guys I got my alza se for around 1.6k km + I found out the brake is not thabove ipy until need press deep inside and there is "water paip sound coming from rear, the p2 ppl said is water pump sound around oil tank area he showed during my car was jacked up is that normal?" So far drive to ipoh and kl return way is still ok with stock tyre at range 110 to 120, above that speed tyre was quite noisy with these Silverstone M5 damn. I found the car was quite bouncy or bumpy as well. Suggestion from good perodua sc is highly appreciated due to my current area cheras "small genting there" is not up to my expectation in term of knowledge of the car, everything say is like that la, memang ni mcm boss. My 1k service just pay rm9 for the gasket and battery terminal protection thing. Atf oil mine is 50 which I think is not that required.

What I installed so far was: 9 inch lcd, Adam subwoofer,Pioneer tweeter, strurt bar and 1 more layer tinted costed 3.5k in total.

My view of conclusion: still ok ba with this price range for new car..other than above problems overall is still ok to use in city and highway. Fc on par with myvi just abit more consume only not that much. Looking forward more owners to share here. Hope this car can tahan at least 5yrs before I'm a freeman to hire purchase. Slavery world damn

The stock tinted i would say is quite hot and can see through easily from outside, as far as I know this car aircond is not that cold during hot sun..a good tinted add on to the current is recommended if you think is needed especially for sales marketing person. If just park indoor normally, save that 200 to 400 put in good use fot other stuffs.

I turn on music approx volume 10, 3 feets away u still can hear what song I'm listening to in a basement car park ...aircond kicks in headlights and odo meter light are deemed very obvious, want ignore also can'tlol.

Car too bumpy, brake pad lousy not eat, tyre noob, climb hill underpowered, potong car slow, rattling sound at the back seat on uneven road. Don't expect it is a fast car, slow motion still ok. Check in before on March white se. Bump back.
Upgrade component: strut bar, subwoofer, tweetee, lcd, reverse camera and tinted.

What is kick-down cable? Adjustment on throttle smth like that? I found myvi is better lol, more power and brake is better.

7 person with new alza?? you must need to rev very high rpm, by the time you release the pedal and press again, you will yelling come on alza, your body is facing upward but the car is like turtle. Downhill?? if stock brake pad and 7 person , you will need some technique dont overheat the pad or else danger. Low you gear, alza comes with auto drop your gear when downhill. It will activate when you brake in downhill, you will see your gear drop auto. Silverstone M5 tyre, go genting check whether, if raining pump your tyre 32 psi, no rain 33 psi. Low psi better grip and brake but laggy, high psi better power and responsive but due to tyre noob it will less grip on road when brake.

Paperclip and Alexei,

Thanks for the sharing kick-down cable, now i am understand. Based on your explanation, it is important to me because i overtake and climb hill slow if 4 person.

Ok, now how i gonna start this pulling cable?
1) Any colour or what to indicate this particular cable? How is the lock nut looks like?
2) Can i set it to default if i found it not suit me?

Sorry man noob in this area.

Yes comes with nice carpet with perodua logo, there is alot of cup holder already on the door, other accessories the salesman will give you a standard checklist before ask you sign. Tick it 1 by 1 before signing.

Bro thanks for your so much information, your light adjustment meaning can adjust the headlamp shoot more far distance? The kick-down cable can be adjust via perodua service centre? How to test whether is suit me, by adjust already then not suit take back adjust again?

Hi Alza owner,

Anybody install spring buffer before? can share you experience here? and who interested in installing spring buffer?

Based on the main page recommended seller. We can order tgt and install tgt. Price is RM 90 included postage. I saw the main benefit is absorb harshness and less bumpy. As what i drive this car for 3 months, this car is bumpy in kampung road and highway. Passenger and driver not syok. KL to Gua musang road, terrible bumpy like inside boat.

I'm not sure whether the bulk purchase is valid till now because i saw it in https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2026334 what i scanned through the comment is good, can reduce lifespan of absorber and this buffer can last 2 years. You drive alza before whichever batch? Damn this car is bumpy at 100kmh in kampung road..need bounce few times before it is stable lol.

Alexei & Subangkidz: Thanks for your info Argh..i think i just need to tahan this absorber until it is wear off to change a stiffer one. Kampung road really bouncy especially middle row. Nvm, this buffer looks like not long term solving bouncy problem i abandon this add on.

I got your point already thks man Today just taken my half day leave go service 5500km 2nd service at Genting Klang setapak. Adjustment on the brake pedal to higher (still stock brake pad is noob) and kick-down cable was done. Overall is ok, the car start to more power already after kick-down cable and 2nd engine oil change, very syok in driving already ..too bad my whitey got scratch in my working area parking lot! Damn only rubbing compound can be make it disappear! Clear coat very fast habis~~

More and more joining to get this car, mostly pricing good yea haha...later can convoy dy lol

Done my PM

Very careful now xd...i sensed the car leg is not good and tahan. Hope 5 yrs no major problem like myvi's engine mounting!

Somewhere no need climb here and bumpy road


I had down brake pedal to adjust higher at Setapak Genting Klang SC. Brake now used less energy to press for stop compared without adjust need step very deep to stop. If still not good to you changed brake pad but adjust already i think is good to drive

I'm ok with the location ..you be the organiser and cast more ppl to join in

1st service in other SC i told them to adjust the brake pedal to higher but they give many excuses. Ytd i went to another SC which is located in Setapak, i told them the same thing "adjust brake pedal to higher", yes they done it and understood. This means is subject to the willingness of the SC. Change a better service area bro

2nd hand value good? This new Alza gearbox i think is ok after MK 1 problem, very smooth and better NVH. Silverstone M5 now is the biggest issue, noisy and noob grip. Thanks man, rattling sound is coming from 3rd row more day by day lol

LOL..such a high depreciation rate. Hopefully is alright of this face lift with more improvement.

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.

Subangkidz,

New Jazz not so fast bro. Current last badge got nice discount. Last time i was told is 69k can get.
What is your budget only i can share with you

1) City is good to go if within your budget, the design for me too old fashion i dont know for you.
3) Vios NOT to go due to poor quality and bad sound insulator. Overall what i get is not worth and overpriced! Resale value is not so wise to calculate in your decision. Even forte from KIA is good resale value based on percentage, as long as not cold market car like picanto, polo sedan and etc.
4) Suprima i'm neutral, go read the owner review from paultan related website, they recently keep advertise the website carbase smth like that.
5) Rio - If you can tahan the cons like fc high, hard to drive blind spot many and abit underpower, then good to go also.

Just my view, read already you accept those point can take it, those point not agree passby it.
