To me, Perodua Alza really can't be compared with Exora simply because both are miles apart in terms of space.

The Exora's fuel consumption can be found in my fuelly page in my siggy below. It's definitely not good, but then again its a huge heavy car.
Power is sufficient thanks to the turbo, but there are some minor complaints such as the CVT transmission's whining noises and sometimes jerky in jam conditions.

Alza on the other hand, is a very small car with 3rd row seats that are really only usable by kids. Fuel consumption should be better than exora as it is significantly lighter.

EXORA PROS:
1. Huge space
2. 3 row air cond (proton aircond best yo)
3. Turbo power
4. Cruise control (only in high spec though)
5. 2nd row passenger space good. 3rd row passenger space ok.

EXORA CONS:
1. Fuel consumption on the high side (8.5km/L in city / 12km/L on highway) [I have a relatively heavy foot]
2. CVT gearbox is not the most refined

My oem battery about 24 months old now. I better get it replaced I think

Whats the reason for changing to 75 bro?

Anyway I just tested using OBD adapter and found out that my battery was at 12.2V. I just drove the car about 2 hours before.
Is this normal?

I tested for the voltage using OBD when the ignition is in accessory mode.

When it was in accessory mode, the air conds were off, radio off etc

Thanks for the explanation

I don't remember what the voltage was when the engine was running, but after I shut the engine off again the voltage was 13.2V and after a few minutes went back down to 12.6V.

Perhaps I'll take a look at the voltage again tomorrow morning

Again?

Just RON95 will do. No point wasting money on RON97 which doesn't provide any additional benefits

I only opened the Voltage (Control Module) widget for monitoring the voltage. I don't often use the OBD

Speaking of voltage, after letting the car sit for 12 hours before starting the engine I tested the voltage reading to be 12.2V.

Hmm

Will check the cranking voltage later today.

I might just get a standby battery to place it once it dies, rather than letting the battery just die on its own one day and cause lots of trouble for me

alexei Just check for cranking voltage earlier today. It was 10.4V

My EB is silver and its definitely the best colour for lazy people like me. Don't wash it for a month and it still looks fine

White definitely need to be rajin with cleaning. Even the tiniest bit of dirt will show very obviously. I'm speaking from experience as the other car in my home is white

I personally think the indiana grey looks good on the EB too

Changed my tyres to Bridgestone Ecopia EP200 just last week, and could immediately feel the difference in tyre noise too

What conti tyres did you get?

Previously when reaching such speeds, all I hear is tyre noise. Now all I hear is wind noise

I see. Thanks for the heads up

Damn

How old is your EB and how much is the mileage?

If I remember correctly, there was a case last time where the X1R engine additive will cause premature turbocharger failure. Some service centres previously sold the X1R additive to customers during service intervals.

Vocal minority
Thousands of EBs on the road, but only a handful with problems.

My EB 2 years old still running perfectly thus far

Changed all 4 tyres

Around RM1.4k for all 4 tyres including labor and everything

My front tyres were 90% worn out, while my rear tyres were about 60% worn out. Might as well change all 4 since they had some promotion ongoing

Mine has the stamping
