Thinking of buying Bezza 1.3L Advance...going uphill/downhill 200-250 meter above sea level

I have seen a video recorded on Youtube which I can't remember the link where the SA told a potential Bezza buyer that all power windows on Bezza have jam protection, which is a misinformation. Only Bezza Premium and Advance variants have the power window with jam protection on the driver side, not all of them.

Peninsular prices are RM5 lesser.

I go this new car checklist from somewhere (copyright reserved to the creator)

 New_Car_Check_List.pdf ( 23.25k ) Number of downloads: 427

Perodua Bezza's fuel tank capacity is just 36L for all variants. (36L x 22km/L = 792 KM with Eco Idle mode for 1.3L Advance, I read somewhere, without explaining speed and drive condition to achieve it)

792 KM can cover from Johor Bahru to Penang (688.9 km - Google Maps distance calculation) or at most from Johor Bahru to Alor Setar (771.2 km)

So, if someone can prove he/she can drive Bezza 1.3L Advance in active Eco Idle mode from Johor Bahru to Penang or at most Alor Setar with just 1 full fuel tank, then the 22 KM/L claim is valid.

Seat cover can't improve the back passenger seat slope, it only masks the bad feeling (for some people, a few may not feel it that bad! ).

No need to review but you need to understand their main function

Scuff plates (MYR 140 Peninsular, MYR 145 West Malaysia; can be bought as individual set items) are to protect your car from marks left by passengers over the flanges of the car's body side panels.
Side door protectors (MYR 350 Peninsular, MYR 360 West Malaysia; can be bought as individual set items) are to protect your car door skin from dings, paint chips and dents when parking on the street, outdoor parking lots or indoor parking garages.

If you really worry about such marks or has OCD issue, then you should buy them...

For me, the most useful set items are the door visors (MYR 150 Peninsular, MYR 155 West Malaysia; can be bought as individual set items) since I will open a little bit the door window glass to allow air come through when I sleep in the car. It is not safe to sleep in the car while the engine is still on for the air-cond to run since the carbon monoxide can build up in the short time. But, I usually turn off the engine. If there is rain, the visors will block the rain drops from going into the car.

About the window film, actually it is a solar and security window film. I think it is only available on Bezza Premium and Advance variants.

They can be bought separately. Ask Perodua SA if you are interested to buy. They will be installed before you get the new car. If you have received the car but thinking of buying the add-ons later on, they will be installed at the service center.

It is just a rule of thumb. But, there is an exception, if you can negotiate well. For example, 3.05% for 5 year with 10% down-payment for a national car.

I don't face the EPS problem with Bezza, fast, light and responsive...Something amiss here?

Is it necessary? Vios, Alza, Exora, Nissan C20, Honda Accord 2013, Myvi 1.5 SE, Persona CPS, Persona, Saga FLX, Savvy, Toyota KE20, Jimny 4x4 1990, Wira, Kancil 2000, a few others that I have driven for work and leisure.

It is not the original Perodua Bezza door visor design. But, it may fit on the doors.

I guess Bezza owners can counter the issue with the back seats with the new 2016 Persona's version...although both are not from the same car segment.

When you use Smart Link with the given steps, it will install Drive Mode (Drive Connect) app into your smartphone and listens for any Smart Link approved apps like Waze and Google Maps. When it detects any of the apps is active, it will activate the Drive Mode app to take over the screen, disallowing you from keep using Waze or Google Maps all the time other than giving you enough time to set your destination. The purpose of the app is not to allow you to look into your smartphone screen and car's touchscreen while driving. So, you have to turn on the navigation voice in Waze or Google Maps to receive navigation instructions.

Talking about safety, at least invest on getting a fire extinguisher ready whenever it is needed. It costs less than MYR 100 for the 1 kg size for all classes of fire

You can get Eversafe or Unique brand. It is even sold on the shelf at Home Pro IOI City Mall.
