rm3000 is outrageous pricing. even sc won't cost that much either.

i doubt it is 1900kg, the best to refer is your owners manual. there's a kerb weight and gross weight. If not mistaken it is like around 1600-1700kg maximum. car+loading.

When you pushing your car to the loading limit, do anticipate longer braking distance, more sluggish pick up and overheating brakes (if you doing hill descend).

alza SE 2014 FL, 1162kg. I think also can get it from perodua website, i think?

recommendation is every 10k km.

pad kit disc = for disc brake?
brake pad = for drum pad?

alza should be a better workhorse for city drive, however spec wise (safety aspect), alza have no fight with aruz.

personal thoughts is aruz will be almost same fc with alza (or could be worse), modern engine yes, but the pull factor will be the body weight and gear ratio it had over alza.

aruz sits on ladder frame while alza sits on monocoque body, it makes aruz more rigid hence a tat less comfortable than alza. But then when it come to bad road condition, i believe aruz will excel, as the body frame is design for such condition. And aruz will be handy when you have flash flood. 220mm ground clearance, and i read through the internet that the maximum water wading height for toyota rush is 600mm, so it is safe to say that aruz should be easily navigates through a water level of 1 feet. While you will start to get worried when you doing it with alza. Not everyday's usgae but when you need it, it is really helpful.

i'm not sure about your feeling of alza, but on my house alza, if the blower doesn't switch to no. 3, you are a dead cake at the last row. the existence of rear blower will sort of help to reduce such occurence.

idle stop is a debatable thing actually. some people said it is useful, whilst some said it is useless. My personal opinion is this feature is very good if you know how to manipulate it. but then, idle stop feature comes with more expensive battery. so you need to save enough fuel to cover the battery price difference.

Alza FL 2014, without the fixed blower to the rear. i reckon the recent Alza FL improved the aircond hence it could be better than 2014 FL model. I mean in terms of coldness. not sure about the wind though.

aruz is compact suv while alza is compact mpv. both can't really eclipse each other. if alza has TRC and ASA, i will anytime pick alza over aruz.

alza is not exora bro, steady with it, going 160 is really straining it, moreover you have no TRC, anything happen at that speed, i can't imagine.

maybe you need to live with 140kph in order to preserve the engine and the gearbox.

to make it able to reach 160 without straining it like a cow and have the potential to go even further,
- a turbo is what you need.
- a proper ATF cooler is a MUST.
- you need to beef up your radiator cooling capacity i.e thicker radiator

to make sure the car able to handle the speed:
- bigger brakes rotors, reinforced lower arm and bushes, enhanced anti roll bar front and rear, a full set of body stiffening bars.

else, if everything remains stock, you better of make it perform like a stock car.

i do have a wild idea of getting k3vet into the engine bay of alza. kinda mechanically fit i think. but then, electrically will be nasty.

myvi able to fit in k3ve & 3szve, that's since passo itself, so for alza it should be backward compatible (3szve to k3vet) as well. if you transplant the k3vet, you need to get the gb along. stock gb will die fast, really fast if you really whacking your throttle hard most of the time. maybe it may last a bit longer if you being gentle on the throttle.

i have no idea about the cost, maybe ranging from 10-15k assuming getting everythings done? the powertrain, installation, jpj endorsement etc.....

lol.... tau takpa. either live with what alza had, or get an exora. you can't get the fuel efficiency of alza with the performance level of exora given what you paid for.

new engine with new tech will surely be a good choice. another important thing is the powertrain reliability vs the tech level of the engine itself. or else you gaining 1km/l but requires pricey part replacement due to complexity or less reliable. you never know.

come on bro, 3SZ-VE engine exist since the first gen myvi and i believe it is even earlier than that. Even a Campro CFE is newer than 3SZ engine itself. The engine is low output in tuning (in Malaysia), and to pair it with an everlasting 4AT that is not so efficient (for some unknown reason i don't think perodua gearbox is that efficient compare to others), you won't be getting good fc. See how good Ertiga FC vs Alza FC you already know.
I don't think it able to compete with modern engines. Compare against mazda skyactiv technology is not so fair because skyactiv engine technology is a niche and nice technology for NA engine.

newer version of android OS is not supported for smart link. until android 7 only i think.

tiny holes on filter doesn't sound good

i think the service package is determine by mileage or period whicever comes first. so, 1 year service then you will be subjected to the items change under 1year/20k package even you didn't drive the car at all.

wasn't aware that bluetooth connectivity is related to android version though.
