how do you guys manage your first 1000 km for this car? manual says to vary your speed - do you guys do the same for your RPM too and how you tahan for first 1000 km do that? I find it quite challenging cos dont feel like i'm driving my car normally hahahaha

yeah i try hard not so easy to do especially highway hahaha..quite suffer actually

how much was your quotation for renewal (i mean for 1 year insurance)? I'm curious how much the p2 insurance costs compared to outside

about 2 months and a bit only, quite surprised to be honest but my SA told me that production has increased so typical wait time now is 2-3 months but i guess depends on SA/which center also. I bought mine at bukit puchong sales center - bought from a Connie Chiam (highly recommended - she responds quite fast).

Booked on 3rd May, car arrived 9th July and I collected it on 12th July (I could have collected earlier but prefer to do on weekend).

Did you buy the Perodua total protect plus insurance? If yes, how much did you pay or it?

BTW the depreciation is true:
https://www.carsome.my/buy-car?keywords=alz...&year=2022,2025

Alza 2023 AV is selling at almost 74K (obviously they will buy at lower price, maybe closer to 65?) but still that's 2 year old car at that price is crazy.

This is because of the demand is very high still and many dont want to wait even for 2-3 months (which is current average waiting period depending on SA/which branch) - and want to do "cash and carry" - so the market puts it at a high price. It's just demand and supply. I think this will go away eventually but as long as demand is still high...

same with bezza. if you see this 2023 bezza selling RM 46,800:
https://www.carsome.my/buy-car/perodua/bezz...&year=2023,2025

New one almost 50K - so depreciate less than 4K only for 2 year old car...but again selling to carsome etc you will get lower lah..maybe 40 or 42K if lucky?

i try to vary my speed not to stick to one speed (same digit) for too long..challenging hahahaha..not really feel like driving normally..and avoid going above 90 as per manual

btw did you guys have any issues with RFID on some tolls? I kena at Plaza Toll Puchong Selatan:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/8Q1xoC1H3y8JAGvU6

Going from Bandar Puteri -> Cyberjaya RFID ok
From Cyberjaya to Bandar Puteri (hit same toll) - NOT OK - error shown is tag tak sah or something like that...kena twice already...I try sunway toll last week - OK...

any idea why or any way to fix?

ugh..guess i have no choice - lucky i got my smart tag as backup with the TNG card...if not susah already...next time when I go back home from work wont use RFID anymore..so leceh..

i went quite slow actually and retried same problem..i went like 10km per hour if not mistaken...i sent feedback to TNG they ask me to try the same toll but go closer to the right wor...wonder if that's where the sensor is..hmm

LOL noted on that guys. will consider trying. now on my way back from work I went to the 2nd left most lane (tng + big lorries + RFID) - that one works perfectly. I might try again next time the middle lane one that didnt work previously by going closer to the right side of the lane and see if it works..if not i'll just give up on that lane haha

do you guys use any anti-glare screen protector on your headunit ? or how do you guys avoid the glare there especially during day time? I find the glare quite bad on waze.

brightness set to max - still same..its bearable but on really bright days like 4-5 pm harder to see the screen...i'm thinking whether matte screen protector can even help i wonder

anyone tried playing around with pressing brake at different pressures (light VS firm) while eco idle is on to see if the eco idle shuts off the engine or not? read somewhere if dont press firmly (ex stop at toll booth) it wont stop the engine even with eco idle on.

LOL yeah i seem to notice that from few posts here that after change battery it goes off..which is a good thing. but agreed turning it OFF is best, i just have to remind myself to do so every time.

hi guys want to check with you - when you first bought your alza, does it ever appear on NCD checking sites like myeg, Fincrew (https://www.fincrew.my/en/ncd-checker.html) etc?

Mine doesnt show up and according to my SA (i'm on generalli insurance) its because i'm buying through perodua - total protect plus. Even the cover note is from perodua not from generalli, etc.

Is this normal? 1st time buying car with this inside, last time always able to check because never bought car that has this kind of service built-in (at least for 1st year).

quote wont be able to check - can you try https://compare.myeg.com.my/tools/insurance...roadtax-checker - does it show up?

Also how old is your car?

OK that means normal then I guess. thought my case not normal. Thanks for sharing

No i think you misunderstood and I think I wasn't good at explaining either. I had done an NCD withdrawal from my old insurer (they dont have an option to transfer NCD to another vehicle) as per instructed by my SA.

Then I got the Total Protect Plus perodua covernote, which is essentially buying the insurance through perodua (at least for 1st year, doesnt seem like have an option) but it is under Generalli Insurance. In cover note it states 55% NCD discount, so I pay less for insurance already.

However, even after almost a month - checking on https://www.mycarinfo.com.my/NCDCheck/Online or other similar online NCD checker tools, I cannot see my NCD vehicle info - it could be like you said - havent transferred yet, but I wonder how long should I expect it to be transferred? My old Car when I did the query (which has been sold), it showing 0% - so the NCD withdrawal already taken into effect, yet my new car doesnt even have ANY NCD info - not even 0% - it shows nothing, or like vehicle not found - is this normal for a *first year* Alza (or any other perodua car for that matter)?

Well it doesn't show 0 percent now. It can't even find my car or show error like record not exist. But I guess it's to be expected ?

our built in dashcam anyway to turn it off to save power as i'm going to install 70mai dashcam soon?
