First had problem of ticking sound, felt like was from the back, went to few SC didn't solve the problem..
Finally went to segambut SC and the ticking sound came from the jack under the passenger seat.Other than that, there had been other sounds but it comes and goes. Sometimes felt like from back speaker door side, sometime from dashboard, and sometime from driver side seatbelt area.
Frequently drive above 120kmph. Had problem with tyres at first but after tyres are "wear or warmup" from a few trips, feels okay however I keep the pressure at 230-240kpa to lesser the "floating" effect.
Problems with the car. Wind pushes you easily especially on high speed (but now im used to and able to handle it smoothly), soundproofing is shit (outside soundproofing quite expensive.. Even diy also expensive or maybe im just too poor), petrol consumption around 12-14km/l not as I expected although I drive aggressively (driven jazz hybrid 2013 model and got 16km/l with same aggressive driving). High beams are practically useless in my opinion, not bright and the angle is focusing to the middle only.
And one of the biggest, shittiest problem that I have is the
Radio. Poor reception, cant hear anything clearly, complained to SC, they told me need go Rawang to replace the parts as they dont have the radio in their sc. Don't know why but i feel only my bezza is affected. Maybe assemble error or what. Dont want to change radio yet because afraid later same problem then SC say void warranty coz changed radio.
One of the nicest thing has became a problem for me is the AC. I drive GRAB/Uber at night thus frequently using AC, the
AC is TOO BLOODY COLD even after I set it to the least cool and first blower. Even my customers complain too cold then have to put down the windows.
Few minor setbacks are the front seats are too small for me (180cm height) compared to iswara seats, myvi and also jazz. Back seat are too straight. Bought a seatbelt hook to prevent the annoying buzzer sound. Hate that I can't close the aircond vents.
For mine, I found out that ticking noise from the rear, it's actually coming from the left rear passenger door. Had the door panel padded properly and the sound is gone. Lower dashboard got sound over hard bumps sometimes.
There is some sound that seems to come from seatbelt area when going over uneven surface and I found out that it was the rubber seals for the window glass and door, the one for the inner portion, inside or on cabin. When it's bumpy they rub on each other or on the body frame and it causes some noise. So I open the door, wind down the windows and remove and reinstall both rubbers and the sounds gone since but i'm sure it'll come back one day. The rubber by Perodua is not high quality enough. It needs to be really non-slip high quality or thick, lower quality. There may be some workarounds to this, some lubricant or sticky material maybe.
FC wise, full city and non stop traffic jam, I get between 12km/l to 13km/l which is pretty good. Highway during rain when everyone drive slow (80-90) with good spacing between cars and good pace, i manage to get 23.x km/l from KL to Melaka. Cannot compare to hybrid lar, they have electric motor to assist during most fuel demanding situations.
Yes the AC is crazy. It's super cold at night and barely enough in the day, very funny. My thoughts are that Perodua oversized the AC for ECO Idle, to keep the indoor evap coil cold when the engine is shut down as that's when AC compressor cannot operate. So in order to keep the cabin cold, the AC must be oversized (bigger HP) so that the blower can blow cold air at least.
This causes 2 problems, being oversized the AC compressor short-cycles (frequent start/stop or the compressor starts operating for a very short while and stays off for a longer period than when it was operating). Which means it cannot remove humidity properly because it's not operating long enough (situation of cold room, but still sweating cause the air is wet). Next problem is, very cold when unnecessary and unable to quickly reach or sustain coldness, and also high electrical load because it starts frequently) There is no way around this unless they can get a new compressor that is very light on the engine, so they can downsize and make it operate longer. Otherwise, will need to 'cheat' on AC efficiency by oversize + frequent compressor start/stop which causes this situation. I was in the AC industry for abit so this situation is very obvious, whether intentional or not. That being said, this is a very hard and extremely costly task to accomplish from a technical and cost viewpoint even for stationary building, what more a moving vehicle. I wish the vents and ducting are bigger too, as smaller ones = high air velocity = high noise.
Not too sure on the radio but he sound quality one mine is quite good (Advance), especially on USB with settings
Fader: Front +2
EQ: High +2, Low -2 / -3, Bass +1 / +2.
Other than that, same like you, if i were to grade it, B++ car for the price, being generous because 1st sedan effort and mine is 1st batch lah... so kasi chance la...
