Hi, if highest specs new Alza, is it recommended to add in seat cover since the seat come with semi leather? But the full new Alza cover (gear up) will cover the original seat semi leather?

I went to test drive but met a newbie sales advisor I guess as he didn’t know the tinted brand, the ASA functions in details..

The car seems good around 90-100 km/h? I feel a bit under power even using power mode but a family car will be good.

I also noticed that the car will not hold the static condition but gostan-ing when in D mode and no pressing any pedal. Is it normal?

dont buy gear up leather cover. it is add on top of original seat & not worth quality.

for cvt gear u want go fast. just pedal max. nonid change mode. 2nr enjin cukup pakai
upward slope u have to press brake fully one time in order to activate hill assist
he will regret

The catalogue written the optional leather cover is made of PVC. That is the reason I check with you guys first as the original semi leather seems better quality , if cover up then….

Yes. Pvc not leather. I saw the catalogue before but forgot. I knew it won't be leather since for RM1k or less for 7 seater cover, the material won't be high quality. It is just a budget option which fits the purpose since most people buying this mpv are budget conscious. If looking for waterproof seats mainly for small kids and babies, this pvc option seats will be suitable.

That is the reason I plan to buy this car especially my wife already told me we have a 2nd baby. Civic too low for my wife to get in and down. My myvi lagi best still very good although almost 10 years old. Plan to get rid of civic first since no more warranty and price still high. Then after several years get another segment C or D sedan.. but wifey said better trade in my myvi. This myvi is my first new car after my graduation. hmmm…. What u guys think? Share me some ideas please.

If you need money, the civic goes.
Else the much older Myvi (sentiments aside) since a MPV and a C/D segment sedan is the desired combo.

Btw if u order the Alza now, think can get before baby arrives ?

5 weeks plus , this coming wed will confirm it via ultrasound.
My wife period very accurate and this is our planned baby. So timing ⏱ very tally with our pre-planned.

Nowadays , my wife and I share a car to work. Office just 3 KM away. Yeah, I also thinking the same. Just that I feel one of the car might be very underutilized , maybe only weekend drive (50km max per week)

Alza is just nice seating height wise and comparable to myvi although the 2nd gen alza is slightly lower. Both myvi and civic retain good resale value. The question u need to ask and know is who will be driving the new alza? Your wife or yourself. The next question to ask is who will be driving the myvi and civic? Which car will be more in use, civic or myvi? My guess is myvi throughout the pregnancy but after your wife given birth, she should have no problem going back to civic.

So if i'm u, i would trade in myvi for alza. Main reasons being myvi is much older - may due for major wear and tear replacements and lack of latest safety features. In the future when u plan to upgrade again, trade in civic for suv or d-segment cars.

Am thinking so also. Last service as SC, most of the wear and tear parks being marked NG as I previously plan to change all these parts (front and rear absorbers, bearings, lower arms, bushes, engine mounting, stabilizer links, supports absorbers…) , 2018 tyres.. two worned and the other two still good.

Third party parts for above rm1800++ excludes labour. I believe SC easily charged me rm3-4K , add on tyres might be rm5k max.

Thanks all for your advise

the prime seat cover cost RM1K. Material PVC. It will cover up the original semi leather seat. But the prime seat cover red color not matching (bright red) the 2 tone maroon interior for AV spec.

The car okeyish around that speed. Feel underpower/slow pickup due to CVT compare with 1st gen Alza.

The car gostan-ing? Are this at slope road (bukit)? If normal road its a bit weird.
*
Just a bukit road, I intentionally no press the pedal and the car gostan-ing , my civic also cvt but won’t like that. If you guys go test the car, can try? It reminded me the old preve, I test drive my brother in law car, at D mode that time also gostan-ing a bit , not sure why. My old myvi also won’t like that. Perhaps as per previous forumer here mentioned, I need to press the brake pedal then only hill assist mode on. A bit weird for me, at that time, the new Alza in normal mode, I only turned on pwr mode when at the main road and feel better.

It is a cover on top existing. .so it is a seat cover.  based on the info provided by paxl tan, it is 1k for that. 

the existing seat good and cantik liao for AV version.  if want to do, best get the expert to do it.  Mind one thing that the front seat has airbag, so not to get any simple cover will do.

oooo.. 2nd baby.  Congrats !!

Alza is good choice when you need extra space for baby stuffs. hehehe.

my current alza also 13 years liao and planned to change to new alza.

Drove my brother's alza H spec yesterday to KL (mixture of hiway and city drive)..  great improvements from previous alza, but would need to get use to comparing how i drive old alza.

since you have myvi lagi best and civic, see what you or your wife needs of 2nd car and purpose, decide from there.  just comments.

Believe it’s the same across the board for new cars with latest engine design. My other cars, hilux(latest gen) also behave the same. U’ll need to press the brake to activate the hill start assist feature. The 1st gear for typical auto box or starting gear for cvt alone may not hold enough torque to keep the car stationary at certain degree of uphill elevation.

Most newer engines especially those designed and tuned for eco FC will encounter such scenario where the torque is minimised without any pressure on fuel pedal.

must highlight "pijak fully" or else ,nothing happen

becos fresh new brake disc new pad very thick tebal.

Thanks guys!!! Really appreciated the comments.

Booked the AV version (black colour as my wife didn’t really like the brown colour, to her, she said a bit looks like poo poo colour lol)

Add on the gear up rm2500 + RM1000 + (utility kit, sc said this one can add on anytime) for the pvc cover as my wife banned fabric 100% mainly due to the “dust” concern as well as the spilled of wee wee , milk powder, water….

Estimated waiting period approx 4 months, so end of Jan or Feb . By that time my wife will be 6th or 7th months pregnancy if everything goes well. No discount given as i requested 2023 car. To me, just alright as no sst and sst pricing very close Ady.
