Alza is different from X50, Ativa
Its a spacious 7 seater with claimed 22km/l

Lower maintenence naturally aspirated proven Myvi engine. Lowest variant X has 15" rims so tyres cost 200+ each (for those worried about tyre cost over 3-4 years)

Have you fetched passengers in Alza 3rd row from PJ to Langkawi and asked their opinion?

Hint: Alza wheelbase > Exora

Gotta stop speculating based on hearsay,

I have both cars in my family, your calculations above quite far off. Can refer to ayamxxx response

I own a X50. No issues so far except for noisy engine rattle..
