Ello! Been surveying & researching Perodua Alza, planning to get SE version soon, any comment / review on it so far? I've been driving Kenari for 200k mileage, planning to change car.

Congrats! Do post for personal comment on it am planning to get one too.

My plan was to get SE, install 3rd party screens & camera(as far as i know it will void players warranty), as well as Leather seat cover.

Hahhahahahaha I wouldn't be surprise much of the space & power issue as i drove from 4wheel to MPV depending on daily work task required at work place. But i do admit it's bigger then my kenari regarding handbrake, maybe have some habit to get use to ^^

Well I wanted to know any other comment on it beside general comment, as I browse through the old Alza. Things seems tend to goes really wrong with blind luck, so i wonder any other similar idiotic issue are happening in this new facelift like "unknown rattling", "wind noise out of nowhere" and etc.

I would not expect much from it since it's consider a budget compact mpv, & local assembly, just hope that it doesn't kills my impression on it with tons of tons of silly manufacture and faulty design.

To be honest, I even compare it with Almera since both of this car consider a budget vehicles. I still like Alza the most.

Actually since my ever first service at perodua service center during year 2006 for my kenari, i had bad impression and eventually stick to my trusty 3rd party workshop till now. I hate the fact they kept asking me change this replace that when it is still functioning.
Am not sure how good is the service center at perodua now hope it changed.

I like the twin tone honk actually I do not like perdoua car honk, sound like toy car for some reason.

I do notice myvi & viva also does not have alarm lock sound for some reason, it is like encouraging youth who owns these car to sneak out of the house at night to go do "something" without parents knowing LOL.

Honk as usual, perodua car always got a toy car honk sound which thats the reason why last time i replace my kenari one with twin tone.
But i did not know it voids warranty for replacing it, only the honk voids or affect whole car?

alright, i stay tune to see any more end user comment ^^

Yo Alza fans, i know this is an Alza Club session but I am in serious desperation and in need of help.

I am driving an Auto Kenari since year 2006 188k Mileage in total, no modification to it.
Since I got this car not long, its first ever Engine Stall was entering a car park when its still bout 4months old, sent to perodua sc to find out the problem. No problem to be found.

After some time it has random engine stall but not frequent. Most of the time is during traffic jam, when I was trying to shift lane from full stop. Once I turn the power steering it stalled. So I went and check power steering motor, no issue as well.

Up until since last year onwards, the throttle not stable during idle mode (Neutral gear as well as D4 gear with breaks on). The RPM kept from approx. 1100 drop to 600 then rise again and the engine kept choking but didn't lead to engine stall problem.

Mechanic has check spark plug, idle sensor, FCU board, spark coil, cleaned throttle body with chemical cleaner, no issue with all these parts. Still can't find the causes of this unstable throttle.

I am wondering has it anything to do with torque converter / throttle body worn out? Or unstable electricity?

Of cause I service my car always within 5k mileage.
once I accelerate and drive, the engine is as smooth as it was new... So am not sure is there anything wrong with transmission as it shift up and down without any issue. And my kenari can go up until 140km/h without any issue.

Though I am planning to buy an Alza, I want to get this problem fix first before I sell it off

Below are the video of engine choking during D4 gear, this happen during N gear as well... you can hear the noise of the engine is making from this video.

Just received my Silver Alza Advance on Monday from Jln. Ipoh Perodua Sales room!

Here she is

By the way, is it alright if I casually let the car speed up to approx 100 - 120km/h once in a while before its first 1000km/h service?

why worst nightmare? Am enjoying so far.

I got my alza in less then 2 weeks time actually, bought it from jln ipoh branch, i personally know the sales person.
Bought this car hassle free and stress free.

I think i found the source of the rattling sound from the back, there's a head rest holder which you place your 3rd role seat head rest on it. It's not really tight fit in certain occasion it will hit the holder wall.

In less then a week, I did 749km mileage. Should be ready for 1st service in 2 days time XD

Only complaint about this car for me is, stupid GPS kept interfere with my radio / mp3, audio randomly fade in and out even when the GPS is not speaking. The rest is all good.

does it really works?

Also does any one tried install shock absorbed / suspension buffer? The rubber thingy which add into the spring. Does it work well?

As well as these ultra racing struct bar... not sure if I should install into my alza.

I see, does it helps maintain / improve ride comfort?

I wonder if Perodua SC have these accessories. Reaching 1k soon for my alza first service.

Unique way of describing the alza engine XD

but still, any brand recommended to use for the coil spring buffer rubber? or P2 SC can recommend?

Just did my first 1000KM service today with AT transmission oil + gasket changed

Any way I notice when I drove my alza advance on a few down hill / slope road, the Gear suddenly kick-in and shifted to lower gear while I was on break.

Any 1 encounter this before?

Ahhh! I see, thanks mate. Been driving kenari for past 8yrs

Hey, why not I intro you the Sales Adviser who handle my alza advance? She worked at jln ipoh main branch and very efficient. I got my car within 2 weeks time, provided that I follow her guide & stage by stage. My loan approved within 3 days. And yes, Sad to say the car cost increased

I am not sure if you'll be able to get it as fast as I do, but I can guarantee her service is good & she will be honest to tell you the truth and what happen. She has been working with Perodua for about 20years.
