Thanks for the e-owner-manual link! Was planning to bother my sales agent for that.

So far one week driving the D27A H variant (black colour). Noticed a bit of inconsistency in behaviour regarding the start-stop feature (it will activate well, stopping the engine when car full stop, but sometimes within a few seconds it will start back the engine even though foot not off the accelerator, on first service will question them about it). Otherwise nice a comfortable ride compared to previous Alza. My kids sit on booster seats in mid row, and they like the arm rest (which is basically the whole middle seat back) which allows them to reach/see the last row (or boot, since I typically drive around with rear row down).

Paid cash (well actually credit card, surprised that nowadays Perodua accept CC payment in full).

The car provide quick start manual in physical only, not the full manual. Will look at full manual this weekend.

Thanks, did not see this in the quickstart booklet. Makes sense, it happens middle of the day, panas terik.

Cash in hand to pay the bills (due mid next month due to statement + 20 days), but for sure any 0% BT available will be taken advantage of for interest earning. But this is OT for this thread la.

Agree that the eco idle feels smooth, as my first time experience its still a bit weird when the engine stop/start (and it is downright annoying when you stop briefly at a junction and want to zoom out after that), but it does seem to start engine quite quickly without any hassle/shaking. For now la, will see how it is in 3-4 months time.

Old or new Alza?

Currently using new Alza, when on radio, even 17/18% already too loud for our ears, no way can push to 90. When on Bluetooth can push a bit more, but we haven't cross 25. Just too loud to be comfortable.

Edit: So I decided to try it out and it turns out the H variant Alza, volume only goes to 41. Seems like an odd number to stop at. Our comfortable radio volume is like 11, and maybe 15-17 for bluetooth music, so a LOT of headroom

Suggest not to listen music in that case. You will kill your hearing, because very high dB in that situation. Hazardous.

Question for any old/new Alza owners using hardwire dashcam. I got the hardwire kit, which fuse is suitable to be used? The manual lists a bunch of fuses, like for Aircon, starter, headlamp,ABS, EPS etc. Which is safest for me to do fuse bypass?

At that price.... I think I don't mind a bit of hassle to open/close fuse box and identify the right fuse. More than 4 times higher than my Z40.

My sales agent I asked him directly when picking up the car. He said is just two principles - first is no cutting any wire, second is if electrical problem caused by the hardwire they don't cover.

First one is fair la, if you cut then of course problem. So I asked him about fuse tap, he said as long as no shorting caused by it then no issue. Practically speaking... when I send for service I will just remove the fuse tap.

It support (but got weird behaviour, start car the cam will start, then off, then start again). But then no parking mode, hardwire is for that purpose actually.

Head unit confirm not sufficient, I temporarily wired it to the back USB ports (the one for middle row) as the cig-tray USB port being used for my phone holder.

Lie down completely means 3rd row seat back is supporting his back? In that case no issue to lean against the 3rd row seat and then use 2nd row to support legs (I'm 5 11 and can do this).

But full lie down fully horizontal... 3rd row seat can't fold backwards all the way, only can fold down forwards (in which case the only thing you can do for 2nd row is fold forward as well, which makes it not super flat). I can try that if you're really interested.

This is mostly to do with the driver. Car also is light (relatively). Just make sure got skill and don't end up in the newspaper or on someone's tiktok/youtube.

We're very happy with our H variant. Reverse camera was our main requirement which push to H. AV 360 even better, but can't stand leather seats and that additional 10% really blow budget for myself.

Doesn't this depend on your NCD and which insurance provider you choose? Indicative price is 75.5k. Also if your booking was before SST removal then got discount further (for mine was about 900 discount, H variant).

TS Kiefer, possible to change spelling of title? Official missing one letter "i"

I don't know myself, but the owner's manual should mention (was posted in earlier post in this thread).

I just Ctrl-F, page 5-22 got some specs but that's for radio (got power ratings for the output/amplifier, but no physical dimensions for the speaker). It's 20Wx4 Rms rated.

Android Auto only available on AV, H doesn't have Android Auto.

When I picked up the car, the salesman directly told me (when showing the feature) don't bother to use smartlink, just connect HDMI is more reliable.

I'm 178cm. It's not the most comfortable seat for taller people, really. But my driving style is not to lean back (learnt habit to keep aleart) above the small of my back, keep it straight, only use headrest for the back of head. For me even long drives haven't had issue, just don't have the 'comfort level' some foreign cars have in terms of padded support for back.

Suggest test sit in showroom of course, since this may vary based on your size (I'm 70+ kg, not very wide shoulders).

How is your roadtax RM90? My H paid RM120, which is correct based on 1.5L MPV wor.


My sales agent explain SST is not on the full price of car but only on 'a portion' of it (dunno is which margin), hence won't be 6%/10% of the full price. But this is not transparent to us, is internal to the car company.
