Perodua Alza 1.5L Manual Test Drive Review

perodua alza main

The Perodua Alza is surely one of the most anticipated cars of recent times. In fact, this blog has been spreading the news of the Perodua MPV since early 2008, and we’ve been teased by numerous spy shots and revelations ever since. Well, it’s finally here now and we’ve got a chance to drive it over a weekend, covering 385km over a variety of roads.

Read the rest of the report after the jump.

The model we tested

The Alza we sampled is an SXi, which means it’s the Premium spec manual transmission variant priced at RM60,990 (OTR including insurance). Extra equipment over the Standard models include ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, dual airbags, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, leather wrapped steering with audio controls, driver seat height adjuster, fog lamps, rear spoiler, higher grade seat fabric and silver/chrome trim in the cabin. That’s quite a lot of added kit for an extra RM5,000 – well worth it in our opinion.

perodua alza side

Here’s a brief recap of how Perodua’s MPV stands on paper to its immediate rivals. The Alza sits on an elongated Myvi platform and its 2750mm wheelbase compares well with the Toyota Avanza (2655mm), Nissan Grand Livina (2600mm) and Proton Exora (2730mm) even though it’s the second shortest here after the Avanza. The Alza’s footprint is actually much smaller than the Exora’s – the long wheelbase is derived by pushing the rear wheels right to the car’s edges.

Under the bonnet is a cast iron block 3SZ-VE 1.5-litre engine, as used in the Avanza 1.5 and Rush, although it’s mounted longitudinally in the rear-drive Toyotas and transversely in the FWD Alza. Perodua quotes 103bhp (104PS) and 136Nm of torque, which is slightly lower than the Avanza’s 108bhp/141Nm – perhaps a slightly different state of tune. Transmission options are a four-speed auto and our tester’s five-speed manual.

For more detailed technical info and measurements, view our previous post.

Living in the Alza

perodua alza mid rowUsing wheelbase length as a measure of spaciousness is more applicable in a passenger car than an MPV because rear overhangs contribute to an MPV’s interior length, so we shouldn’t read much into the Alza’s class leading wheelbase. The Alza feels much smaller than the Exora inside, and should be about the size of a Grand Livina, but with a much higher roofline than the Nissan which contributes to an airy and open feel. Stepping into the Alza is very easy, as doors open wide (typically Perodua) and the ride height is just perfect – no need to “climb” into the car.

Access to the third row is trickier. The Alza lacks a tumble fold system for the second row, which means you’ll need to fold down the seat backs (it doesn’t go fully flat) and pull the base – a two-step operation that’s less convenient than the Exora’s two-way, one-touch lever. Once that’s done, the opening is small and those who are less nimble might have difficulty entering.

perodua alza 3rd row

Once inside, the high roof gives adequate headroom but legroom fully depends on the kindness of other occupants – it can range from zero (if the second row is pushed fully back) to decent for mid-sized adults if a compromise between second and third row members can be made. Anyhow, the seat base is not much higher than the floor so your knees will point high, but this is not uncommon in a seven seater. There’s also very little space for luggage with all seats up. I also wished that the non-split rear seats can be folded flat with just one operation – at present you’ll need to pull two straps (one on each side) to tumble it.

perodua alza boot

“Is the air-con strong enough?” is a common concern among Malaysian carbuyers and we’re happy to report that despite not having a separate blower and vents for the rear section, the Alza’s air con provides a strong enough breeze to reach rear occupants. The system also cools very fast. There are also plenty of cupholders – 12 in our car!

From the driver’s seat

perodua alza dash

From the driver’s seat, the driving position, ergonomics and visbility are all pleasant. For me, the highlight of the dashboard is the integrated stereo system, which is full featured, easy to use with big buttons and looks premium with tight fit buttons flush with the surface. In contrast, the Vios derived “bottle cap” style A/C controls look cheap, and without the auto gear lever sharing this space, the area looks rather empty, as if something is missing.

The centre mounted instrument pack is OK for clarity, but the trip computer didn’t have much info other than Range. The manual variant also lacks the driver seat extension and fold down arm rest since the gear lever and hand brake are in their traditional location – between the seats. What it gets over the auto are a couple more cubbies and cupholders.

perodua alza radio

On the move, the Alza is a very easy and undemanding car to drive – the steering is light, turning circle is tight and clutch is similarly effortless. But the clutch pedal does not seem to have any biting point – it’s either up or down – and those without the habit of resting their foot on the clutch might crave for a foot rest – at present, the pedal is so near the centre console that Perodua wouldn’t have been able to fit one anyway.

The Alza’s gearchange could also be better. The shallow gates and imprecise rubbery feel means that there’s little satisfaction to be had swapping gears; the process feels quite crude and van-like actually.

Many have doubts whether a 1.5-litre is sufficient for an MPV and this is where the Alza surprised us and our passengers. Acceleration is lively, whether from rest or in gear, and there’s enough low down torque to merge with faster flowing traffic without venturing high up the rev range. You do hear and feel the engine buzz, as you would in other Peroduas, but it’s never annoying.

perodua alza rear

I ferried the family up to Genting Highlands to see how the Alza would cope with four adults on board, and it managed the task admirably. For the first half of the journey on the Karak highway, the Alza made decent progress in fifth gear; only a few times did I need to downshift to fourth to regain momentum. After exiting the highway to begin the climb, the Alza took care of slower traffic and more powerful but poorly driven cars mostly in second gear, even for the few super sharp slopes on the route. It did struggle a little to be honest, but so does its rivals, so there’s not much of an issue here.

That experiment showed that the Alza is pretty flexible on the move, although there’s an occasional hesitation and pause in the mid range, as noticed in our preview report. The Perodua feels more energetic, responsive and effortless than the 1.6 CPS powered Exora and although we did not do a side-by-side comparison, my money is on the car from Rawang in a performance test.

The Alza rides and handles capably as well. There’s not much body roll to speak of, and the ride comfort is relatively good – it doesn’t buck and bounce around like the Avanza or react so sharply to small bumps and ridges like the Grand Livina so it’s a good effort from Perodua. The 185-section Silverstone tyres aren’t exactly high on grip (ours were barely scrubbed in) but other than a steering that I feel should be tighter in high speeds, there’s very little to complain about. What the Exora does better is isolating the engine from the cabin, general refinement and car-driver communication.

perodua alza meter

On the matter of fuel consumption, I did 385km in the Alza with the trip computer showing a range of 150km (two bars of petrol) when I returned the car. The Alza’s full tank capacity is 42 litres and I added 10 litres to it, so the rough calculation points to 10.3 km/l, which is pretty decent considering the Genting detour. Perodua’s claim is 15.5 km/l for the manual, but keep in mind that it’s almost never possible to hit official figures.

Conclusion

alza with myvi
Alza’s rear resembles the pre-facelift Myvi; here, it’s parked next to the current Myvi

As an MPV, it’s far from perfect. But to its credit, Perodua doesn’t call the Alza a full-sized MPV, preferring the “5+2” occasional seven seater status. And if viewed as a bigger Myvi with much better legroom, a huge boot and two “emergency seats” the Alza becomes a brilliant proposition. We can see how popular the Myvi is with Malaysians, and if given more of the same with the abovementioned benefits at a small premium, there’s no reason why the Alza won’t be a runaway success. As a bonus, the Alza has adequate performance and is entirely decent to drive.

    Nice and balanced review Paul.

    Am using an Avanza 1.3 manual now. Have 4 kids, the first 2 are 160cm++ in height (and growing) and both sits in the middle row. The last 2 sits in the back row.

    Had a look at the Alva first hand. Was dissapointed with the 3rd row which is a must for me. My childdren’s legs were ‘stuck’ when they sat in the 3rd row with the 2nd row pulled back fully.

    Had to cancel my intention of getting an Alza. For me, it’s not even competing with Avanza even though price wise it is.

    Looks like the only choice left for me is either Avanza 1.5 (better performance, same size) or Exora (performance?, bigger size).

    To me it is more of an estate/wagon instead of MPV. Hence the 5+2 seater namesake. It will sell nonetheless.

    Waiting for Exora hybrid and turbo.

    good review , i tink the reason for the peppy engine is that most of the power is in the lower range rpm so its more accesible…..where the exora is slow til u reach abt 3800rpm thn u feel a proper kick….

    for me its still looks narrow for the inside…and jus like the myvi ,alot of road roar enteres the cabin….and i wish the dials wer in the center ratyher than middle…annoying…bt its gonna sell….and in no time , its gonna be everywhere

    IMHO, Alza should be not be compared to Exora but instead the Persona.
    The size is just to small for an MPV. To me, it’s just a “better” Myvi.
    If the price is in the range of rm45k to rm55k, i’ll surely booked one. And then it’s will be worth than getting those Cam tak Pro Persona’s…..

    do not compare with the car over 70k, for sure cannot beat laaa, but not all.!

    -the empty space could be replaced with a drawer

    -u did mention b4 to the engineers if the CR-V-esque arm rest could be added ( y not the local accessory shop makes one that hangs from the metal headrest's forks.. as long as its durable and not to heavy)

    How about engine noise with air-cond turned on? Is it noisy and frequent on-off compressors of the current myvi's?

    What about the trip to Genting + luggage. How did the luggage compartment handle with the four adults/family on board.

    Brakes? How well did it perform with passengers, and without passengers.

This morning already seen 4-5 Alza on highway already, while only see 2 Exora… Well, i think a few months later the roads T. Avanza, G.livina or maybe P.

    Power is not the main things in choosing MPV. Adequate power is enough. What is more important, when going for a trip for holiday or balik kampung, there is enough place for everyone (7 people) + luggage. Those 5+2 only suitable for town + short distance travel. Also 5 people + 2 cats = 5+2. :-) The bigger the MPV is better actually, in Malaysians' mind. This Alza will be a seller just because its T DNA in it, and it surely cannibalized other P2 line-up. Myvi is expected to be less book by 18%, and Toyota Avanza also CKDed at P2 Rawang plant also will be cannibalized by this Alza.

    I think this will not have major impact on G.Livina buyers or P. Exora buyers. I guess those who are favouring G.Livina could be those who can already afford to pay 80K for a car. They might not want to downgrade their option unless they really have a tight budget. But, if they really have a tight budget, they will not eye on GLivina in the first place. Meanwhile, P.Exora is totally unharmed as it is a totally diffent segment from Alza. It is a real 7 seater MPV. I think MyVI and Avanza sales could be affected instead. Just my humble opinion.

    I only tested the car with 4 adults because that's the size of my family – grandparents not very keen on the roller coaster ride up Genting!

    The tacho should be around the region of 3500rpm at 110km/h.

    We are trying hard to get the automatic Alza from Perodua, and also the Exora for a comparison, but that may take awhile. We will address all remaining questions in a follow up story so bear with us please!

  • If not mistaken, the review that Paul did on the Exora was an auto tranny right ? U may want to try and review the Exora's manual tranny to compare apple to apple in terms of transmission. Plus the difference in the number of occupants.

    And one more thing, was the driver and front passenger freezing like the arctic since there is only a front blower?

    Anyway, good report.

    alza length is a bit longer than avanza but avanza interior is like 2x spacious than alza. not to mention avanza has rear blower aircond. rear aircond is really important in malaysia. alza didnt have one because its not intended for malaysia market. malaysia is a hot country unlike japan. sure u can put the aircond to maximum and eventually it will reach the third row but the driver and front passenger will freeze to death. try it on a hot day.. ull see.

    i dont think alza is avanza competitor, in fact, it didnt compete with any of compact mpv in malaysia. people who looking for mpv will not consider alza because it lack what mpv should have, space. perodua salesman tell me this, "kita dah kaji, mana ada orang guna mpv bawa 7 orang setiap hari." of course.. not only exora, even alphard owner didnt ferry 7 people everyday. but what happen when time come, u really need that 7 seater+luggage?

    sure malaysian road will fully occupied with alza in the future but those are myvi and persona potential buyers. exora is still good choice for "mpv". if u say that exora is underpower, than ure not a family man and not suited to buy mpv. because mpv is not about power. its about safety, space, and comfort. (sigh, even underpower, many exora overtake my rondo on highway and dissapear from my view in matter of seconds.)

    like kancil , myvi, avanza for instance.makes it busy at parking space and during in and out of sharp bend making too much steering turn and sometimes it could delay for the car to get back in position. not like later generation protons they have cosiderably quick (low geared steering) steering for batter response.

    paul, how about alza? its steering control?

  • For me the top dash look ok, bottom dash looks like peanut butter..Overal design is alrite too.. thus the remedy for space, rear seat might as well taken out of it.

    Seats are overly fabricated, kinda cheap sofa from Cavenzi, expect the seat to turn into certain shape in the future.

    Price wise is stil ok, but customer like me might always consider top up our budget and go for Livina/Exora(have no idea how's Exora condition)/Avanza/ Latio (I'm driving a Latio, overall height of Latio n Sylphy is taller than normal Saloon car, and more space thou..Imagine if i sacrifice my passenger seats leg space of 2 feet into half feet, I can anytime fit 1 more roll of seat behind my car)..

    Therefor,

    1. If u're looking for a Mpv for space, unless u're expecting your family members to be stay on 4adults+2kids situation, don't take it..Or u'll regret y u had taken it.

    2. If u're looking for a Mpv with power, take a Sedan 1.6/1.8.

    3. If u're looking for a Mpv with storage, get a Vennette, or a LiteAce..

    The question was, Who will take this Mpv?

    1. Those who like style and want to feel big.(as in big in shape compared to Sedan)

    2. Those who had budget and are not willing to do their business with an extra Van/Lorry/Truck, they can take this as their family car, as well drove to their shops/wet market/storage.

    3. For their kids to drive to school? safety? If it was filled up to second roll, ya safety is there..Last roll??I wouldn't put my kid into last roll, what happen if a bingung fella hit my back?I has only 4 inches to avoid anything to hit my kids' head. Agreed? Besides, if i were to take it as my kid 1st car to school/college, I might as well get them a MyVi, or a Swift at this price range.

    Alphard, LaGreat, Elgrand, Carnival, Stavic, Starex = Large MPV

    Estima, Odyssey, Serena, Ipsum, Peug 806, Fiat Ulysse, Ford SMAx – Midi MPV

    Wish, Stream, Exora, Ford C-max, Kia Carens – Compact MPV

    Avanza – Small MPV

    Grand Livina and Alza – seriously a 7 seater wagon.

    ever known when did 7 seater wagon trend started? look for Renault 21 Savannah, Peug 505 Estate, Volvo 740 Estate and Merc W124 TE. at that time The Toyota Pervia/Estima and Renault Espace were a mere people carried – not able to carry up loads thus not a multi purpose vehicle.

    i was in my wife’s livina 1.8… she said the alza just doesn’t do it for her.. she prefers her livina’s look as we overtook your test unit maybe twice

    i was wondering why the alza unit was so briskly being driven… so it was manual.. no wonder hehe

    urs in 1.8 while test unit is 1.5

    From the review above, as last my bet win that the 1.5L DVVT engine is more better in term of Power : Weight ratio. Even Perodua manage to improved rides & handle as well, bravo.. This morning already seen 4-5 Alza on highway already, while only see 2 Exora… Well, i think a few months later the roads T. Avanza, G.livina or maybe P. Exora wannabe buyers will be replace by this Alza…

    ALZA ALREADY ON THE ROAD >>REALY ? ..correct if im wrong P2 SA say when take a booking 2,3 months wainting list ..

    The ALZA can probably get the 'Most Overrated Vehicle' of the year.

    Checked it out at the showroom and saw tht its not 'that' much bigger than a Myvi.

    If it's a family tht you need to bring around, go get the Exora, which is capable of a full 7 seater + luggage..anytime. Period.

    The Toyota version is called the Toyota Passo Sette, which essentially means Passo Seven, or a 7-seater version of the Toyota Passo. Sette means seven in Italian. The Daihatsu version is called the Daihatsu Boon Luminas, where Luminas is a combination of the words roomy and luminous. At Malaysia is called Perodua Alza…

  • The problem with ALZA is that P2 claimed that it is a MPV ahead of official launching. In a typical Malaysian's point of view, MPV is a vehicle which can transport 7 or more ppl inside (eg. 8,9, or even 10 sometimes) comfortably and nothing less. Their could not accept the fact that Alza is more like a wagon instead. Therefore, I could understand the dissapointment and frustration from some potential buyers as they have postponed their car purchase for 10 months after such a promising announcement from P2. After all, like any other human nature ( you know what i meant… hehehe), SIZE does matter.

    ________________________________________________________________________

    This is nothing about Alza. It's about Exora.

    Adijb

    If you want to know the quality of Exora, I can tell you based on my experience of driving it. FYI, i bought my Exora Manual 2 months before the launching and have not have any regret of making such a decision. In fact, I was glad when I visited the P2 showroom during the launching. What i can say about Exora is you get what you pay. For me, I felt that the car is never underpowered. Been to genting with no difficulties. The handling is superb , i have to admit, can accelerate to 140km/h easily and can still go higher if i press more (I have to admit I have no guts or balls to go beyond 140km/h). Yet, There are some problems that i am facing right now such as front lamp become foggy( proton will exchange 1 to 1), therm amp prob (under warranty). These are the common problems as described in the EOCM and have been solved. i categorised it as minor and can be solved by SA immediately. The most important thing when you buy proton car is you must be near to a good service centre. I know some service centres do piss off the customers and luckily, I have one good one near my area.

    The difference between Exora and other local cars is that it is integrated with BCM. It is really fun to play with BCM ( really gives you a feeling of being inside an expensive car ) although the plastic colour may look dull and old fashioned. ONe bad thing though, the plastic can be scratched easily. SO really have to take good care of it.

    As for fuel consumption, i would say 8L/100km on highway and 10L/100km on roads with many junctions. I would say it is okay considering the fuel consumption for other cars of similar range like innova. So far so good, happy with the car performance. Dont really know it would be the same after 5 years but I ll always keep my finger crossed.

    Anyone who wish to see Alza in the road, just come to Penang and see it urself.. Already quite some numbers on the road here.. Even Sungai Petani, Kedah i also seen a few there.. Not test drive unit..

    I have seen Alza driving on highways this morning when i travel from Penang to Sungai Petani to work. 2 at Penang, 2 at highway & another 1 in Sungai Petani. That is just around 7am in the morning. Exora got 2 on highways..

    For me, i have no comment but just let the sales determined which 1 is better. Since Paultan Blog have been flooded by P1 Procommenters (maybe a few but duplicate name), i just wonder how many of them really own or even just driven Exora? Personally i tested both with my family of 6 person. Which 1 better in term of quality, technology, brand assurance, handling, FC, maintenence cost & power:weight ratio? You guess it.. All 6 at once voted the same car. Yes, it may be unfair as 1 adult sit behind. But thinking of long run and the reputation of Proton, i better went for a safer choice…

    Just a simple question to ask, do you always fetch 7 adults all the time? Even Exora also seen mostly 1-5 family people riding in it and not always 7 adults.. Let the sales speck itself, if Proton Exora sales still going strong. Bravo to Proton.

    Experience at showroom near to Stadium Shah Alam, my wife hampir terjatuh sebab tersepak seat sliding rail (2nd row) semasa nak keluar dari 3rd row seat. Walaupun seat dah lipat habis tapi senang nak jatuh balik. Sambil bongkok kan badan kena pulak menahan seat di hadapan (macamana kalau kanak2).

    Conclusion: Exposed sliding rail bracket kelihatan tak safety untuk penumpang di 3rd row keluar dan masuk (terutama kanak2). Perodua sepatutnya lebih bermoral perihal keselamatan pengguna.

    I was very interested with Alza as I was thinking of Livina to buy. But sorry I won't buy Exora regardless whatever price it is. Having living with 4 Protons in the last 13 years…this is where I put a stop in buying Proton cars. Anyway, as I was anticipated the Alza, it was really a put off to realise that it is such a small MPV and yes suit for "5+2". I think for over RM60K, Perodua should have sell it much lesser…I wasn't impressed at all. Some more the safety features are very disappointing are just on par with Persona Hi-Line. I test drove the auto version with 5 adults & 1 boy at the last row. The air cond temperature was adjusted very cool with fan blowing high to get cozy but yet the poor boy was sweating. The engine needed to be revved to maintain consistent speed not really that peppy but adequate power. The ride is a bit bloating but still comfortable but body roll is very apparent when taking corners. Luckily they put in 1.5cc engine, if they maintain 1.3cc engine sure going to be a big blunder. Anyway, I strongly felt that Perodua should price it much cheaper for better value for money. Somehow, I felt that Alza will not be as popular as Myvi and I don't think it will take Exora market share that much either if most people demand a proper and adequate MPV; Alza is certainly not one of it.

    I'm also from penang, but i dont think its that easy to see Alza here…well its a new car…Littlefire maybe just lucky to see it that many…but last week Perodua or somebody did make a tour with 10 or so Alza here around Penang..That time i can claim that i saw a lot of Alza on the road..tp bertutut-turut le..

    And i dont think its fair to compare the sales of Exora and Alza just to show which is a better MPV cos Alza's market also for people who wants to buy a car with big boot whereas Exora's market is solely for people who wants to buy an MPV.

    did paul test drive the MT version of exora before?? it is unfair to compare performance of ALZA MT with EXORA AT… and why don't you compare ALZA vs AVANZA performance since they are using same/similar engine???

    That experiment showed that the Alza is pretty flexible on the move, although there’s an occasional hesitation and pause in the mid range, as noticed in our preview report. The Perodua feels more energetic, responsive and effortless than the 1.6 CPS powered Exora

    Just a simple question to ask, do you always fetch 7 adults all the time? Even Exora also seen mostly 1-5 family people riding in it and not always 7 adults.. Let the sales speck itself, if Proton Exora sales still going strong. Bravo to Proton.

    ________________________________________________________________

    I'll have to disagree with you when you point out that we do not often fetch 7 adults all the time. Yes, it is true that we might be driving alone most of the time, the main concern is that when we want to buy an MPV, we must make sure it can fetch the optimum number of passengers, which is at least 7 comfortably WHEN we need it. What is the point of getting an small MPV which can barely cater for 7 passengers? You will regret when one day when you need the space to ferry 7 ppl for a long distance. One such experience is enough to make you regret of your purchase. That was the main reason why I get Exora. I would have regretted buying Exora if Alza is as big or similar to Exora even with a 1.5 engine. Even after I owned Exora, sometimes I kept thinking why i didnt get a 12-seaters instead when I came across a Starex

    One thing I learn about buying cars is that we will almost never complain that the car is too big, but most of the time, we will complain that the car is too small. Some might say it is difficult to park the car but for me, this comes with practice. The more we practise parking the car, the better we will be. And when you own a big car, you will learn to drive and park it at no time.

    better sales = better car?

    If that theory is absolute, then ferrari, lambor, aston are the top car manufacturer in the world.

    better sales, if ever, normally indicates that it's cheaper, therefore more people hv access to buying it.

    alza, being cheaper than exora, will sell better than exora, but there's more to price that determine the sales. tau2 je la apa faktor2 tersebut…

  • Comparing between Alza vs Exora like comparing between lime and orange…Both have different markets. Alza more towards Persona and Myvi buyers. God willing, this 5+2 creature will take some Myvi's sale BUT not up to cannibalizing the popular model.

    Alza will have some impact to Exora as buyers with less than four kids now have another choice with better T/D-DNA engine.

    People can blame badge-engineering or whatever, BUT Alza will have upper hand in term of volume very soon.

    semalam sempat test drive alza ngan exora. dan jangan salah sangka aku ni basher p2 lak, coz i own myvi and viva.

    so test drive alza, ni yang aku rasa: (yg buruk aje)

    1 rasanya macam bwk viva, bunyi tayar bising pun mcm viva.

    2 seat keras, aku siap cakap kat salesman apa jadah seat keras ni, diam tak cakap apa

    3 tombol gear low quality, kena pakai tiga jari je boleh.

    4 kalau lalu jalan berliku, terasa… sama macam viva elok sikit je.

    5 space kecik…

    6 aircon emmmm…

    test drive exora: (buruk aje)

    1 nk pickup enjin bunyi kuat

    2 realibility issue

    3 fuel consumption

    so overall prefer exora…. handling cukup, aircon cukup, luas cukup…accessories cukup…. just wait for the turbo to be launch… then i'll buy exora…. memang betul different segment but same motive for me as a buyer….

    Ok guys. A lot has been said and it sure looks like World War 3 is coming soon! I have some clarification to make.

    If you read the review again, I did mention that the Alza is much smaller than the Exora, and concluded that it’s not a great MPV but a good alternative to those looking to buy a Myvi (a category that MANY Malaysians fall into). I stand by that statement.

    I personally like the Exora very much, but I was taught as a journalist not to apply my own priorities (driver appeal is very important to me, for instance) to a review, but see it from that particular car’s target audience.

    That said, reviewing a car is not exact science – no right or wrong formula – so there’s bound to be some of my personal opinion in there. You are welcome to disagree, that’s why we have a comments section, but please keep it intelligent and factual instead of throwing around personal attacks.

    Why some of you people still want to compare Exora & ALZA ?? Both are different category laa… Exora is pure MPV while ALZA is the next MPV, means if you sometimes want to load more than 5 passenger, use the 3rd seat row.

    If you prefer comfortability , get Exora or Estima laa… Don't made a stupid judgement by simply bashing others people opinion…

    Alza should compete with Avanza…that's a correct comparison.

    Exora should compete with Livina, Citra, Rondo,etc….due to engine capacity and performance, otherwise to don't simply made stupid comparison and stupid assumption !!!

    for segment-concious people, yes indeed alza&exora are in different segment (specification-wise).

    however, for money-will-be-spent-wise, it's almost the same for the basic spec.

    that's why all the raves&rants are there.

    Poor Danny, look like being a car reviewer is not easy on this forum especially when there are some mind twisted and pathetic psychopaths on the loose in this forum. I think they should attend a proper civic class to learn how to write civilized comments/critics/opinions. credits have to be given to danny although i may not agree with all of what he wrote.

    Voicing of opinion are welcome but don't shout here and there calling people stupid.

    Personal opinions are very subjective and whether you agree with it or not is up to you.

    Both exora and alza are in different segments and they offer different features and functions. Due to the pathetic NAP, these are the only two affordable "locally" made MPV, unfortunately they are not the best MPVs either, but we don't have much choice right now, unless drastic changes are made to the auto industry in the next few years. For now, market forces will determine which model is the winner although it may not be a better model.

    errr, danny….

    i don't think by replying to the comments here is a good idea. PT himself is hardly reply to any comment that attack his review. if you reply 1, people will reply back 10, this is normal.

    but it is TRUE that comparing test drive ALZA MT with EXORA AT is really wrong.

    rawang? which one is from rawang? the perodua one is it?

    hmm it is a very common opinion among car journalist that toyota based engines are more lively and revs more easily that then rest

    same comment when compared the vios engine and city engine, even though the city has higher horsepower, the vios revs more easily…

    i am glad you liked it too :D

    i just dont like the plain dashboard.. its incredibly boring..

    Ayoh..

    Danny has explain well in his review..As being a blog reader, we must take that idea (Danny's review) in overall. Just bare in our mind, Danny has mentioned his tour was a trip of 5..Danny perform the review as what he feels and what he think.

    But Danny, i think your phrase 'feels more energetic, responsive and effortless than the 1.6 CPS powered Exora' is actually pointing directly to compare Alza with Exora.

    Anyway, thanks for the review.

    Danny just get Manual unit that can say the pick up & accelerate are more batter than auto… Still if want to compare, it not fair enough coz Danny test Alza manual, Paul test Exora & Alza Auto… Danny test Alza with his family (4 of them, include kids) climb genting, Paul test Alza with 6 ppl only around hotel but for Exora, Paul test with 7 ppl with his size from KL > genting > kuantan & turn back to KL also he sit at 3rd row on travel back…. To compare, have to put Exora & Alza side by side in same day, in same condition…. I know some will said "it not fair for difference category" but still most comment in Exora & Alza tread still compare it coz both production in Malaysia… Paul & Danny, When can do rival test ?… Anyone agrees ?….

    "my money is on the car from Rawang in a performance test."

    how much u got for giving good review for alza? haha

    for me, your review a bit biased and always comparing it with other cars which not in the same class though u keep insisting u didn't.

    anyhow, good review and i suggest by adding the rating 1 to 10 will make your review more helpful.

  • Little Fire, bukan ke masa exora kuar ramai yg sibuk2 mgkin termasuk awak mengatakan adakah mampu exora bawak 7 orang naik genting, tapi bile alza je, orang pulak cakap bukan sume orang bawak 7 orang sepanjang masa. so sepatutnya masa exorapun cakap camtukan, baru adil. so, kata2 awak tu xbleh pkai, nonsense.

    dulu ada yang ckp, exora 3000rpm 110, kuat minyak coz rpm tinggi, tapi bila alza, 3500 rpm 110, minyak xkuat. pelik gak kadang2 baca komen org malaysia.

    power to weigt ratio ke, torque to weight ratio ke, xsemestinya mengambarkan kete tu jimat minyak n power, byk faktor lain lagi.

    macam little fire ckp, power to weight ratio alza hebat sangat, ok, power to weight ratio adalah jumlah hp bahagi berat. kita amik alza, 102HP/104PS bahagi 1168kg(advanced version sebab baru adil nak compare dengan h-line exora dari segi equipment)=87.32hp pertonne, exora 125HP/127PS bahagi 1442kg(h-line)86.68hp pertonne. amik line premium auto, alza berat 1150=88.69 hp, exora m-line auto 1422kg=87.90hp, perbezaan power to weight ratio alza advance n exora h-line adalah 0.64hp pertonne, alza premium vs exora m-line=0.79hp pertonne.

    so hebat sangat ke beza 0.79hp n 0.64hp tuh sampai jadi powerful sangat. saya dah bagi figure, orang jugak cakap sebelum ni power to weight ratio. at least, dengan kekurangan bawah dari 1hp pertonne, exora bleh naik 7 orang dengan selesa, alza dengan 7 orang, lu pikirlah sendiri. adakah berbaloi 0.79hp tu dengan keselesaan?

    ada yg akan bangkitkan torque to weight ratio plak, dah tengok ke graf torque cps dan alza nih? cuba bandingkan berapa byk torque terhasil pada setiap rpm n selepas torque peak, berapa banyk dia jatuh sehingga rpm top peak hp. berapa cd n cl alza n exora. sume tu ,main peranan.

    lagipun, ini perbandingan yg agak kurang sesuai coz manual versus auto, why not buat perbandingan head to head, exora m-line manual, lawan alza premium manual naik tujuh orang(orang yang sama ketujuh2 skali) jumlah minyak dlm tank yang sama coz ni pun akan jadi perbezaan coz exora 55littr, alza 42 ltr rasanyak, so byk beza berat tuh. so nak jadi adil, kena sama, pastu, kedua2nya naik genting tanpa aircond coz xadil, exora dual blower versus single blower, beza gak tarik power tuh. so barula fair comparison. pastu tanya ketujuh org yang naik, mana lagi best, exora@alza yg dia orang nak naik genting kalu naik tujuh orang, amacam danny n paul, barulah org sume yg komen kat awak berdua, senyap. walupun saya xtau apa hasilnya, tapi my money on product from tanjung malim.

  • 1.6 cps is of course better than 1.5 dvvt. the only reason it seems to be underpower(people assumption) because of its weight. yes, exora lost in term of torque to ratio pertonne, but its widen torque band along the rpm range, sustain its peak torque until the peak hp, and lower geared final drive already compensate the losing of torque pertonne by exora.

    even the torque is the same, but with diffent final drive, it will be better. try ur self climbing a hill using a bicycle, first, use the smallest gear, u will feel it is heavy/hard to cycle it up hill but if u change the gear to the bigger one, it will feel lighter and easy to climb the hill but of couse with lot more no of cycle compare the smaller gear. still the same person and stamina, but with different ratio, it makes lot of different and of course, it will rev higher than waja/gen2 cps.

    yes, cps engine is louder because when u rev until the cps zone, the cam profile being change to high profile, have u even driven high cam cars before, it sounds laouder than low cam profile cars. and if u noticed, there is no sound insulation under the hood which u can bought it urself at ah beng.

    and actually, the vocal engine also due to the aircond compressor, yela, lagi tinggi hp compressor, lagi kuat bunyi engine. nak dengar bunyi enjin, jgn pasang aircond. xdalah kuat sangat, kalu x, xkan orang 3rd row bleh berborak dengan driverkan.

    ini pendapat saya aje k.

    but if u said 1.6 valvematic or 1.6 dual vvti(if there is one), so i have to say that that is a little bit advanced and good compare to 1.6 cps in term of tech, but in term of real performance, need to test drive first.

    Paul, according to the search of the 3SZ-VE engine is made in China Tian Jin Toyota factory and suppose to be VVT- i but Perodua claim that is only DVVT it was same engine as 4WD Nautica(in malaysia) and 2WD Rush, event Toyota Malaysia call the 3SZ-VE for Rush as VVT-i. Is that when the engine mounted in Alza the VVT-i proccesor has been taken out in order to make the price more compatative hence the variable cam shaft link it to the mechanical actuator so it call DVVT.

    Is that any one know the story behind ?

    the salesman said there is a rubber near the side mirror,and it was taken out by a child (since the car is the test drive unit.)…confused..

    can u explain on this…

  • Aku dah angkat Alza. Currently drive Myvi. Aku compare ngan Myvi je.. so kira ok la. anak 4 bini 1 boleh la muat. sebelum ni pun pack dlm Myvi, paling tidak sorang satu dapat la pakai seat belt. Ruang barang tak besar untuk kete hatchback, Myvi besar sikit je. kalau aku nak bawak barang, aku pakai 2 row je la.

    Sekarang pakai Myvi ngan Alza kira ok la. minyak pun kira ok. kalau jalan jauh sikit semua muat dlm Alza, dekatx2 Myvi cukup. Kalau Exora tu besar lagi. nak lagi besar Ria la. RM pun ok untuk Ria Basic.

    Kalau timbang kati aku bagi Ria, Exora baru Alza. Tapi yg pasti Perodua ni so far ok la, Myvi aku lenjan gilax2 pun steady je. kalau kira RM/size aku rasa Perodua tak la murah sangat. Tapi pikirkan pengalaman ngan kete sebelum ni asyik problem power window, centralocking, door handle, engin leaking, lower arm, bearing belakang, bonet masuk air, aircon, gearbox, plastik patah sane sini aku gagahkan gak la angakat Perodua. Aku rasa antara sebab dah ramai angkat Alza sebab hakikatnya tetap sama, orang yg pernah ade pengalaman akan terus berhati-hati.

    Nak pakai kete idaman (conti) tak dapat la buat masa ni. Tapi ngan Perodua tak la kecewa sangat compare ngan yg sebelum ni. Lagi pun resale pun bagus (mane la tahu kalau boleh angkat conti. nanti).

    Nak pakai kete idaman (conti) tak dapat la buat masa ni. Tapi ngan Perodua tak la kecewa sangat compare ngan yg sebelum ni. Lagi pun resale pun bagus (mane la tahu kalau boleh angkat conti. nanti).

    i went to ask for test drive, but the sales man said only those that already booked the car can arrange for test drive, not open for public.

    really kanasai…

  • Aku dah angkat Alza. Currently drive Myvi. Aku compare ngan Myvi je.. so kira ok la. anak 4 bini 1 boleh la muat. sebelum ni pun pack dlm Myvi, paling tidak sorang satu dapat la pakai seat belt. Ruang barang tak besar untuk kete hatchback, Myvi besar sikit je. kalau aku nak bawak barang, aku pakai 2 row je la.

    Sekarang pakai Myvi ngan Alza kira ok la. minyak pun kira ok. kalau jalan jauh sikit semua muat dlm Alza, dekatx2 Myvi cukup. Kalau Exora tu besar lagi. nak lagi besar Ria la. RM pun ok untuk Ria Basic.

    Kalau timbang kati aku bagi Ria, Exora baru Alza. Tapi yg pasti Perodua ni so far ok la, Myvi aku lenjan gilax2 pun steady je. kalau kira RM/size aku rasa Perodua tak la murah sangat. Tapi pikirkan pengalaman ngan kete sebelum ni asyik problem power window, centralocking, door handle, engin leaking, lower arm, bearing belakang, bonet masuk air, aircon, gearbox, plastik patah sane sini aku gagahkan gak la angakat Perodua.

    Alza, 1 driver + 1 front passenger = Good

    Alza, 1 driver + 1 front passenger + 1 rear passenger = still good

    Alza, 1 driver + 1 front passenger + 2 rear passengers = still good

    Alza, 1 driver + 1 front passenger + 3 rear passengers = Uhmmmm………ok ok la

    Alza, 1 driver + 1 front passenger + 3 rear passengers + 2 last row passengers = The car roars loudly as it tries to pick up speed from a stand still. Revs high and consumed lotsa petrol.

    Conclusion :

    Alza as a car is not a problem, but when it turned into an MPV with full load 7 passengers, it's kinda striving. I wonder if Perodua has a future plan of fitting the Alza with a 1.8 engine ? Well, just like Toyota Wish, 1.8, no problem is lugging around full load and petrol consumption is minimised by 22%. Amazing !

    Personally i feel that i will choose Exora over Alza. And Alza over Avanza. Reason is being simple, for a MPV. I will look for space in the 3rd row . And also, with good handling especially 100km/h and over. I personally feel that Exora statisifed the requirements . However, if i were to look for a hatchback, i will choose Alza. The third row will be my enlarged boot. And also, Avanza in my opionion looks like a van. Not very sporty as a MPV, hatchback or even a van. Its ugly. I was hoping that both Proton and Perodua to develop SUV. It will be much better.

Er, Perodua???? I dunnoe. Furthermore, Alza is not a MPV. My children also cannot sit inside the 3rd row. Alza is like Myvi with bigger back. So i think i will buy a Exora for my family with 7 people.

  • interesting that some really want to discuss about space in 5+2 alza. already knew but still want to compare with exora. why not ria or citra of nearly almost the same price range.

    its seem that some just want to compare P1 and P2. the same situation when myvi and syvvi were out. alza is small and big exora is truly 7 seat that are the fact. if we keep comparing the size (thing that already knew) P2 will never make alza any bigger and make another model like grand alza to par with exora. it P2 strategies to do compact taking from Daihatsu base model for malaysia. so far its work for them.

    when i ask my wife what she want to drive daily to office and send kids to school. she say that she just want something small and easy to drive ie savvy , kelisa, viva. but then i think that we do not have family car (so far we all cramp in my myvi) like exora price range (our budget). then she said ok but not exora or ria because she don't want to carry 3 school kids in big car daily to school and busy road to office with so much petrol. thus we go for alza that just met our requirement.

    i sure many other kl people of the same budget and family size would share the same. it relay much depand on our requirement, some just fancy the space and always looking forward to 'balik kampung'. some just want to be realistic and cost saving. some just have bad experiences on specific model and fobia to keep visiting the workshop thus turn to the reliable one. some just try something new, as long as its a new model surely buy.

    up to our requirement our decision, anyway also check our pocket. i know some can afford to get wish, stream, estima etc please understand that i only can get alza kind of budget, no need to underrate P1 and P2 on the quality-every body know.

    for those how already get alza or soon to get it, congratulation and please share your honest experience with us.

    Dear Brother Alza,

    I'll thanks on what you said, what you said is what I wish to say to stop this kind of "WAR"!!! What you said is truth, its depends on individual needs, not this car is better than that car, or this car is worse than that car and so forth.

    Very bored to hear that already. Ya, the HONEST experience is very important to us. Thus, for those Alza Owner, please be really sincere on your Driving Experience Sharing (I mean don't only mention the Pros since you are having the Alza, how about the Cons?) What I concern is something like the Wind Sound, is that really bad like the other Forum discuss about? Thanks…

    I didn't really compare about both Exora and Alza. But i feel that if i am looking for a MPV, i will choose Exora between the 2. While i am looking for a hatchback, i will consider Alza over Myvi. Well, in my opinions, both are different categories of cars. Cant compare much. Well, if comparing to Naza citra,ria or Chery Mpv, i think you are also wrong. I don't think you can compare a Exora which is a 1.6 engine vs those with 2.0 engine or 2.4 engine. They are different . Also, Exora's main competitor would be Nissan Livina , Toyota Avanza, and also HONDA freed if possible. But i will still choose Exora between all these. It is spacious, has power and also good handling. I have tried Alza and Myvi too. Feels that Alza is much more stable now, compare to Myvi.

    Macam2 pendapat ada. Kalau tak suka, maknanya anda bukan dalam golongan sasaran. Kalau suka, anda mungkin dalam golongan sasaran.

    Cuba baca apa yang Perodua MD Syed Hafiz cakap berkenaan golongan sasaran ni sebelum komen, tapi yela masing-masing berhak atas pendapat masing-masing cuma kadang2 bunyinya lebih pada propaganda je.

    Pada saya, performance tak penting asalkan memadai. 3rd-row seater tak penting, boleh guna ruang tu untuk boot, tapi bagus jugak kalau ada, mungkin boleh guna nanti. Nak amik sedan, kurang versatile sebab saya suka beli perabot dan yang seangkatan dengannya, cash & carry. Design lagi cantik dari lain2 option, tapi tu subjektif. Harga tak la mahal sangat. Kualiti perodua ikut pengalaman, ok, tak banyak komplen.

    Nak tunggu Alza AE tahun depan baru beli, tapi GPS tu tak integrated la.. wayar kat luar. hehe

  • at last just got my silver alza yesterday after 3 mths waiting. What a beauty

    this colour especially under d sun that sparkling silver & d uv glass does feel

    less heat under d sunlight. After double check d outside & inside d car i quickly signed all d documents & hop on to it step away from d showroom.

    on my way out from d junction i litely step bout 1/4 of d throttle d car felt lite

    & lively responsive bit like a shoot out feeling with my bro inlaw beside me.

    d a/t gear changes smoothly until i reached d roundabout to slow down & stop for traffic. however d brake feels bit deep which u hv to step further down to stop d car may b coz mine is std without abs. after that i use short

    cut road going uphill back to my house which d car felt bit sluggish on d way

    up tough d a/t gear was smooth. thats only when i wanted to switch off d o/d

    i realise there isnt an o/d switch that normal a/t car has. this may take time

    getting used to coz usually i switch off o/d to overtake or going uphill slop.

    but d cornering of d car is pretty good during uphill & downhill mostly at +-

    50km especially its quite a long car.

    going into d road towards my house i noticed there were some noise like

    metal loose from d back when i passed those road hump. 1st thing i did when

    i reached home i opened d back & checked d tool compartment just as i

    thought it was d plastic bag that contains spaner & screwdriver that cause d

    noise. all i did to solve it was to put it under d driver's seat & wala no more

    metal noise. actually this mpv really suits me just nice in therms of price,

    space & styling coz i'm only 170cm with a 12yr old son, my wife, maid, bro,

    sis & mother inlaw =7 ppl ngam ngam. i hv tried adjusting all d seats at best

    comfort position starting from d 1st then 2nd row & at d end i climbed in d

    3rd row & my knees still hv a vertical fist gap from d 2nd row back even

    tough bit reclined backwards. also when i get out from d 3rd row i felt easier

    not to bend so much like livina which my neighbour has. I'm still d tallest in my

    family & if i can sit comfortly then i dont think there b any problem with them.

    cant wait to take them all out on x'mas eve with my new alza & give more test

    drive experience here. merry x'mas & happy new year!

    Saya baru beli Alza Auto, Orang cakap kereta baru tak boleh bawa laju-laju, tapi pada hari pertama saya telah membawanya 140km/j itupun tak tekan minyak sampai habis. Sebelum ini saya mempunyai kereta wira 1.5 manual, memang saya dapat rasakan perbezaan apabila memandu kereta ini kerana pengendaliannya begitu mantap dan padat. ruang dalamnya terasa begitu selesa dan tenang. cuma ada bunyi angin dibahagian side mirror sebelah kiri dan perkara ini juga dirasakan oleh pembeli yg lain tetapi yang penting sekali ialah bunyi injin yang senyap dan smooth. Selepas servis yg pertama kereta saya terasa lebih bertenaga dan semakin laju. Bagi saya secara peribadi, saya amat berpuashati dengan kereta ini.

    140km/j? Kalau nak bawak 200km/j pun boleh walaupun br hari pertama kete tu dibeli. Tp kena baca manual dulu, brp speed n rpm yg disarankan utk 1000km yg pertama. Nanti, kalau jd apa2 kat injin, kita jugak yg susah. Walaupun under warranty, tak kan p2 nak ganti injin baru. Mesti diorg cuba baiki dulu. Tp kalau kita tak ikut apa yg disarankan dalam manual, tak ke itu akan void warranty. Lgpun, bukan boleh siap sehari kalau dah major problem. Apa2pun, gud luck pd yg dah dpt kete.

    Yes. the P2 product really suitable for girl and moms actually. Nurse ieda prove it. And she like 'big' gear. What big gear? I think the big gear knob actually. Somehow, in last Friday's Berita Harian, the author said that Alza is more suitable as a car. People who wish for MPV by buying Alza will regret it. those are what he says.

    commit suicide? so what if 1 can drive 140-180km with this car is there

    any prize or money? u gonna give how much money in order to put d driver

    or passenger's live in danger? even if i said i drove 180km with this car

    would u believe it? whats d point here? pls grow up 1st then give some

    common sense. for god sake its a family car not a ferrari hai mat rempit!

    even more no brainer 1 said p2 product really suitable for female, hey pls

    tell me y there's fat guy driving kancil? y there's tall guy driving kelisa/viva?

    y some girl drives a harrier & some mom drives an alphad? at d end of d

    day its not whats suits u its how much cash u hv. u think all hv many choice?

    last nite went for dinner & makan angin with my family all 7 ppl in my alza

    was really enjoyable & comfort. d fastest i drove was 80km & d rpm was

    around 2100, d a/t gear changes smoothly & silently & air cond was cool

    even until d 3rd row i can feel it with a/c speed at 2. 1 time i even ask my

    bro inlaw to drive so i can seat at 3rd row to get a feel d ride at d back.

    u can feel more a/c air to d back especially u turn d centre vents blowing

    upwards toward d ceiling. the ride was quite comfy at d last row however

    u still can hear some tyire noise which i guess its d rubber rubbing the road

    which cant do anything unless i change to better tyire.

    so far i hv no problem rite now & i hv no regret of this car/mpv & only for

    those who really got hands on experience know its value for money.

    not those simply talk air without really experience giving stupid bias

  • Alza user, that is what you should do to get the best performance of the AC. Set the center AC register outlet toward the center and upward , thus cool air will flow nicely below the roof liner and reach the 3rd & 2ndrow. for front driver, user the round AC outlet. i think wish and previous stream 1.7 also apply the same concept.

    many people don't know how to adjust the outlet. if we put straight and normal or low level outlet the cool air will be blocked by the 2nd row.

    this is personal opinion only, other may have other method for better result. please share.

    enjoy your alza and drive safely + reasonably

    i don't need MPV since all of my friends using whatever brand MPV never fully utilised that MPV and rarely use third row seat. trust me you'll only use third row seat 8 time per year. what waste for fuel and high monthly and interest that you have to pay every months. Sedan away much better….so stop arguing for this MPV cos all MPV is just a cr** sh**t machine both exora and alza also avanza and avanza. hahahah

    Alza user, that is what you should do to get the best performance of the AC. Set the center AC register outlet toward the center and upward , thus cool air will flow nicely below the roof liner and reach the 3rd & 2ndrow. for front driver, user the round AC outlet. i think wish and previous stream 1.7 also apply the same concept.

    many people don’t know how to adjust the outlet. if we put straight and normal or low level outlet the cool air will be blocked by the 2nd row.

    this is personal opinion only, other may have other method for better result. please share.

    enjoy your alza and drive safely + reasonably

    nowdays MPV most look like a Van and minivan or mini truck. so why pay more if you can get Van with 8 seat cheaper than 7 seater MPV and can take out all seat for loading big funiture inside it. almost people drive big a*s MPV with one or two people only, what a joke.hahaha

    Mr F1, those comments are not bias. It is a fact. Why 180km/h Exora? Because baha69 mention his Alza can reach 140km/h. Daihatsu market are nichcely for women in Japan, just like Pasola motorbike for women. It is not a biased statement. It is a fact of marketing. And you know what, nurse ieda really like it because that's the target market. While for the Berita harian Auto review, it is a neutral statement from the writer/automotive reporter. he sais, whoever buy Alza to use it as MPV will regret it because it is more suitable as a car. That's all. Come on man. Even some people compare Savvy with Myvi last time. For Exora, their sales for Oct and Nov has some dip. Those who use Alza have also mentioned about wind noise coming in at 80km/h and feeling hot at the rear right side seat (where the exhaust located). No things is perfect except God creations.

Perodua has to do something to build cars and not keep rebadging. Also, Cars which Perodua rebadge are all old daihatsu design. They are all not the latest in terms of design and engine .

    Bro, i agree with you. For MPV, i think Exora is much better. Perodua is not a very good company. Rebadge old daihatsu design with old engine. Still sell so expensive. Some more, perodua 's safety problem is alot.. Their car are not very safe. Exora is 4 star in Euro test. Alza also never sent for any Euro test yet. ALL of your still think is safe?????

    Hey Paul,

    Thanks for a great review ,as always.

    I agree with BW, @ntiPeroDua & others that a head-to-head comparison with Exora is warranted. Of course some will claim that both cars are not in the same category. But for most middle-class Malaysians looking out for a bigger vehicle, Exora & Alza are the vehicles that they will be looking at (like me). I've seen the Exora & the Alza, & I must say that the Exora looks & feels spacious, although the Alza is not too far behind. I don't know about performance as I haven't test-driven either.

    Again, an Alza vs. Exora Showdown, please ! "Top Gear" style !

    ha..ha..by the way exora engine using cps engine, not campro. it doesnt have the torque dip that campro has n also its low torque is totally different compare to plain campro.dun u know the cps engine produce 85-95% of its torque around 2k-3k rpm and it maintain its maximum torque until 6500 rpm? the only problem is only the throttle lag around 1k-2k rpm due to using drive by wire tech. i bet u never drive drive by wire car b4, if may only p1, u shud try it with mazda 3 or 6 or any conti car, maybe peugot 308 vti, then u know what i mean.

    in term of power to weight ratio, alza produce 88.69hp pertonne n exora produce 87.90hp pertonne, so only 0.79hp difference in power output between exora n alza, so is it a big figure in performance?

    even alza has torque 118nm pertonne n exora has 105nm pertonne, but exora using lower final drive to compensate the less number of torque. so it is equal actually. if u drive gen2 campro n drive gen2 cps, u will notice a big difference between gen2 cps n gen2 campro performance. by the way, the final drive for gen2/waja cps auto are 4.406 whilw gen2/waja cps manual are 4.312, mean while exora manual/auto are 4.625.

    so, if u search the internet for info on final drive, the lower its final drive(lower=big figure), it will have better pickup but u will loose ur top end. it is the same theory as if u own a motorcyle, if u change the spocket to a bigger one, u will have better pick up but lower top end eventhough the number of torque remain the same. there is alot of thing can been done to increase pickup without increasing number of torque n hp for example, gear ratio, aerodynamic n roling resistance.

    i dunno about alza hp n torque graph but base on the previous vvt chart previously, cps has advantages in term of power delivery where its powerband is wider.

    so, i think alza n exora will perform similarly on the road even on hill(have test driven both)

    From the review above, as last my bet win that the 1.5L DVVT engine is more better in term of Power : Weight ratio. Even Perodua manage to improved rides & handle as well, bravo.. This morning already seen 4-5 Alza on highway already, while only see 2 Exora… Well, i think a few months later the roads T. Avanza, G.livina or maybe P. Exora wannabe buyers will be replace by this Alza…

    Bro, Obviously u didnt test drive Exora….Please test drive before u say or comment anything. Alza is better in terms of power than EXORA??? Alza is good in ride7 handling than Exora???? LOL….Please la, test drive Exora before you comment both cars. If you want to comment on the specs , compare it with Avanza , both cars uses the same engine….But the weight, handling and also space is different….Compare this car instead. Exora is a true malaysian MPV. Alza is just a re-badged toyota passo sette with Avanza old detuned engine….PLease dont compare this with Exora. Furthermore, Exora got a 4 star NCAP star, Alza havent sent for test under Perodua itself……

    Dear Peter,

    What I said are those below.

    Power is not the main things in choosing MPV. Adequate power is enough. What is more important, when going for a trip for holiday or balik kampung, there is enough place for everyone (7 people) + luggage. Those 5+2 only suitable for town + short distance travel. Also 5 people + 2 cats = 5+2. The bigger the MPV is better actually, in Malaysians’ mind. This Alza will be a seller just because its T DNA in it, and it surely cannibalized other P2 line-up. Myvi is expected to be less book by 18%, and Toyota Avanza also CKDed at P2 Rawang plant also will be cannibalized by this Alza.

    {From the review above, as last my bet win that the 1.5L DVVT engine is more better in term of Power : Weight ratio. Even Perodua manage to improved rides & handle as well, bravo.. This morning already seen 4-5 Alza on highway already, while only see 2 Exora… Well, i think a few months later the roads T. Avanza, G.livina or maybe P. Exora wannabe buyers will be replace by this Alza…}- This one i take from Danny review above laa. I also use Exora. No problem. Ok maa.

  • satria neo cps has different tune than exora n waja n gen2 where cps will activated at 4400 rpm n vim will function at 4800 rpm.it was tuned like that for giving it more top speed because for sport oriented car, we normally rev it beyond 4000 rpm,like the vtec, for normal use vtec, it activated around 3k-4k, but for type r or big vtec, it activated at 6k rpm n onwards. so, if u really want u rasa how wonderful neo cps, rev it at least to 5000rpm, n then u will feel the different because the powerband start on 4000rpm compare to gen2 or exora, its powerband is at 3000rpm. try it urself when u r driving ur friends neo cps(if it is really neo cps, nit neo cps wanna be), u will fell the surge of power when the needle past 4000 rpm, its like the car have a light pressure turbo. happy motoring

    Judging from the looks between the Exora and the Alza, I would say the Exora looks better from the front while the Alza looks better from the back. So,the next project – Exza.

    The Exora is more bigger than the Alza but to be fair, that explains why the price is higher than Alza. The Exora would best fit up to seven adult people while the Alza fits more likely about five.

    If you have a big family, I suggest get the Exora because you won't have much complaint about the space you have while if you had two little children plus your parents, just get the Alza.

    While suggesting that it's all about your budget, I think both have their own values. In my humble opinion, never spend more than RM70,000 for a local made vehicle because it's not worth the money. However since we're talking about MPV rather than a car, of course Exora is the real deal. Why choose a mini MPV rather than a larger MPV?

    Bro, sorry la…see wrongly. Anyway, i drive my friend's myvi and alza. I feel that alza is more stable now. But still, not really safe …..The car seem to be shaky after going like 125km/h onwards….Handling also not really that good compare to exora. I feel exora is a much better car in terms of specs and size. Alza is just an attractive car to attract people with old engine, not really worth it. I suggest to people who wants to buy alza, take a look at avanza first. Dont waste your money . Maybe even exora.

    I just purchased Alza two weeks ago and i would like to share my experience driving it.First and foremost , Alza is a great value for your money vehicle. Drives comfortably and great suspension.Very stylish design. Driver seat is not cramp at all.I am 6'1" feet in height and i just feel comfortable driving it.The seats are very nice and soft. Enough space for my tennis gears. I personally like the size. Its not too small and not so big.Just right. The petrol consumption is very minimal. Parking it is a breeze. No problem.The stereo sound system is fantastic! This is truly a great Malaysian vehicle!Worth every penny i paid. I would say to all Malaysians that this car is a National Pride of Malaysia.You can be proud driving it! I am an expatriate living in Malaysia.

    off topic

    sori bro fraz006, aku x tembak bro lah, just sharing info tentang perbezaan antara campro cps n campro n juga campro cps pada exora, (waja,gen2), satria neo adalah berbeza.

    waja cps n gen2 cps adalah ditune untuk comfort dimana power band berada lebih rendah iaitu pada 2.5k rpm, manakala exora pada 3k rpm, neo pada 4k rpm.

    so sume tuh di setting mengikut kesesuaian n fc. tetapi campro basic memang satu kasilapan pd zaman TM. Memang enjin campro nih xda masalah n bagus, cume characteristic dia dalam keadaan basic(sblm ada cps,vim n iafm) memang untuk high rev, hanya sesuai untuk jalan jauh n yg berjiwa racer, tetapi untuk dalam bandar,agak x sesuai. aku difaham kan dari sumber yg tertentu, ini terjadi sebab cat converter untuk euro4 n juga setting ems700 yg telah lock kan supaya menepati piawaian europe didalam bandar, maka terjadilah torque dip tersebut iaitu antara 3k-4k rpm. so, untuk counter masalah tersebut n dlm masa yg sama menepati euro4, maka terhasillah iafm n juga teknologi asal yg diplankan untuk masuk enjin campro iaitu cps n vim.

    dengar cite, EasyU 32bit baru untuk campro iafm atau code name dia campro LE(low emmision agaknya), memang menarik. sebab ecu ni jgk akan digunakan untuk campro FE na & FE turbo + gearbox terbaru proton 6mt,5at n cvt. rasanya pada akhir tahun nih akan diperkenalkan gearbox nih, tapi xtaulah, aku dengar2 aje.

    by the way, myvi pkai throttle cable lagi, xpakai drive by wire.anyway, goodluck alza.

    Salam Sejahtera Kepada Pembaca Kat Sini.

    Dari mula saya baca komen kat sini rata-rata ada yang pro Proton dan ada yang pro kepada Perodua. Inilah adalah komen dan pendapat saya berdasarkan kepada pengalaman saya yang pernah memandu Alza pada 10/01/2010 dan Exora pada 5/10/2009 dari Kuching-Miri/Miri-Kuching untuk menziarahi sanak saudara. Alza yang saya pandu adalah kepunyaan abg saya dan Exora pula kepunyaan abg ipar. Memandangkan kereta saya (Honda City) tak muat hendak membawa penumpang yang ramai. Penumpang semuanya seramai 7 orang ( 5 dewasa 2 budak2)

    Alza (manual transmission)

    – Design luaran ok nampak mewah.

    – Dashboard plain.

    – Aircon tak sampai ke belakang kerana tak ada blower aircon di belakang.

    – Ruang agak sempit.

    – Memandu kurang selesa untuk perjalanan jauh sampai lenguh badan di buatnya.

    – Petrol ada save.

    – Kualiti body – Memang standard TIN COCA COLA berbanding Exora.

    Exora (manual transmission)

    – Design luaran tampak kurang menarik.

    – Dashboard nampak macam kereta mewah.

    – Aircon (paling best coz kat belakang ada blower aircon)

    – Memandu selesa untuk perjalanan jauh compare Alza.

    – Petrol lebih kurang sama dengan Alza.

    – Kualiti body – Memang ada keras sikit tak seperti Alza memang sah TIN COCA COLA.

    Cadangan Alza:

    – Body material tu jangan kedekut sangat biarlah gred A kerana kita Malaysia kaya dengan bijih besi. Jangan jadikan pembuatan Alza seperti menjual petrol, yang kualiti di jual dan beli yang kurang kualiti . Yang jadahnya pelbagai masalah kepada enjin kereta seperti kotor dan jangka hayat enjin tak tahan.

    -Patut di tambah blower aircon pada penumpang di belakang.

    – Besarkan lagi ruang belakang sekali. Nampak sempit bagi orang dewasa. Jika kanak-kanak memang ok.

    Cadangan Exora-

    – Sama juga tingkatkan kualiti material body. Tambahkan ciri2 keselamatan seperti ABS/EBD pada sistem brek.

    Kesimpulan:

    Kedua-dua jenis MPV apabila membawa penumpang seramai 7 orang enjin tampak macam harimau mengaum…..paling sesuai kedua-dua sepatutnya adalah 1.8 or 2.0 not 1.5 or 1.6.

    Yang menghairankan saya why p2 don't use VVT-i enjin rather than DVVT coz sedangkan Daihatsu guna enjin VVT-i. Nampak betul Perodua guna barang luput tarikh.

    * Kepada mereka yang kata P2 pentingkan keuntungan daripada keselamatan saya setuju 100%.

    * Pada Proton pula harus mempertingkatan kualiti pembuatan kereta jangan hanya setakat hangat2 tahi ayam.

    Kereta pernah dimiliki:

    HONDA CITY

    MYVI SE

    GEN 2

    WAJA 1.6 CPS

    salam anak bumi kenyalang, em berdasarkan statement awak, pandu exora manual pada 5/10/09, em, xsalah sayalah exora nasic x launch lagi. so xsalah saya, exora awak pandu exora m-line manual yang dilengkapi dengan dual airbags, abs, ebd dan BEBD pada sistem brek. em, another thing is vvti=dvvt, perodua nak bagi akronim lain, nak wat mcm sendiri punya, tapi mendanya sama je, cume kekadang dapat engine yg detuned je dari daihatsu/toyota. em, itu saja rasa pembetulan yang perlu dibuat.

    For budget MPVs: Proton Exora( powerful engine with better handling and 4 star EChAP star)

    For middle MPV: Toyota Wish( the newer wish which is much better looking and 2.0l new engine)

    statement saya di atas saya confirm balik kat abg ipar saya.Yupz ciri2 tu memang ada.Dia beli manual m-line punya.

    Cuma komen saya adalah kualiti badan kereta. Harap perodua amat di sarankan untuk menaik tinggi selangit kualiti badan kenderaan jangan buat standard TIN COCA COLA. Dalam simple tak apa yang penting ciri keselamatan di titik beratkan.

    Proton lak perlu ada kualiti badan kenderaan perlu di pertingkatkan. Saya pernah tengok sendiri proton yang di jual di Brunei amat berbeza sekali yang ada di Malaysia. Badan ada keras tapi why buat kereta untuk keluaran tempatan tak seperti untuk keluaran di Brunei.

    Tahniah kerana anda semua memberi info dan komen.

    Malangnya ramai lagi rakyat Malaysia tak dapat membacanya.

    Orang memilih kereta yang dibeli adalah kerana duit yg ada dalam poket.

    Sedikit sahaja yg memilih selesa utk memandu itu pun kategori yg banyak duit.

    Semua orang nak beli kereta mahal, tapi tak ada duit.

    P1 memang macam-macam ada masalah kereta – orang beli juga.

    P2 memang asal toyota&daihatsu – orang beli juga.

    Alza adalah kereta.

    P2 tak pernah kata ALZA tu MPV. Kenapa nak bandingkan dengan MPV?

    P1 pula sibuk nak bandingkan Exora dgn Alza, serang Alza melalui iklan, kenapa? Sepatutnya tak berlaku kerana Alza bukan saingannya.

    Jawabannya ialah…..semua rakyat Malaysia dah agak. Alza dan Myvi bergandingan mengekalkan jualan tertinggi. Tanyalah setakat hari ini berapa jualan Alza.

    Saya guna Avanza, bukan saya tak patriotik, anak saya ramai dan itulah yang saya mampu.

    Avanza, Alza, Passo, Boon, YRV, Sette, Luminas, Vios, Rush, dll……mereka ni guna enjin yang sama. Yg membezakan mereka ni cuma 1.3 & 1.5, teknologi tambahan dan sistem turbo masing-masing. Jadi apa hairannya Exora guna enjin Neo CPS?

    Avanza 1.3 saya tanpa modified langsung pun boleh capai 170km/j. Kalau saya tukar enjin YRV, Avanza saya dah tentu capai kelajuan lebih 220km/j. Tapi perlu ke saya? Macam itu juga dengan Exora Turbo nanti.

    Kesimpulannya – apapun yg kita debatkan, kereta yg keluar dari kilang tetap macam tu juga, kereta yg mampu kita beli poket kita yg menjawabnya.

    Tak ada sesiapa pun pemegang saham dalam P1 @ P2 akan membaca komen kita dalam blog ini. Mereka ketawakan kita lagi ada….dapat promo percuma.

    Kalau nak bandingkan pun, guna fakta, akal dan logik. Kita dah tahu Exora dan Alza lain kategori, tapi kita sakitkan kepala berdebat buat apa. Alahai….

    Ada ke p1 suruh org heran dgn injin cps dia? cuma sbg pemberitahuan mcm kete2 lain gak yg berbangga dgn dvvt, cvct,vvti,i-vtec etc.

    harap sdr mohd ismail dpt menerima pandangan org lain kalau nak pendapat sedara juga diterima org lain….negara demokrasi ma…

    Ermm…

    Berdebat tentang Alza dan Exora dan buat perbandingan kedua-duanya memang takkan habis.. :)

    Ikut la kemampuan nak guna mana. Setiap orang ada citarasa. Mana yang kurang sama-sama perbaiki.

    Saya yakin Exora ada kelemahan dan Alza pun ada kelemahan tersendiri. Dan juga masing-masing ada kelebihan tersendiri.

    Untuk membanding-bandingkan antara keduanya.. Macam tak kena ada juga..

    Nak lebih berkualiti, lebih mewah, lebih mantap = duit..

    My friend just collected his alza. I went to genting with him and some of our friends. The car is quite smooth. Handling also not bad. Overall, he likes his car. I am not a perodua basher even though i owned my persona. So far, he has not encounter alot of problems. His car usually used for going to work so he would make the 3rd row down to have more boot space. So i think it really depends on the person's needs. Cos his family is quite small, only his wife,2 sons only. If he has a bigger family, maybe i would recommend him exora instead.

    it may not be the ideal car/small MPV for all….

    ….all boil down to the needs, budget, purpose of each individual

    to those who have used, like to check with you:

    -fuel consumption?……really 12km+ for auto

    -aircond…….really cool at the back with just one front blower (and small outlet esp the middle one)?

    -any other obvious problems?

    -really one-hour super service or money-back guaranteed if exceed 1 hour as advertised in the broucher?

    -is the aircond as noisy as MYVI which i find it quite irritating, Persona does not seem to have that noise?

    If not, then P2 looks good only in its marketing strategy which is misleading!

    Appreciate genuine comments.

Masing2 ada masalah sendiri. Proton saga BLM baru aku mula-mula rosak suis powerwindow, kemudian brake pump rosak. Kecewa aku. Kemuadian myvi bini aku, headligth x mau menyala dan brake bergegar due to masalah dicsbrake. Bagi aku P1 dan P2 sama-sama hampeh. Padanlah dengan harga yang murah… Tapi aku x nyesal pakai kedua2 kereta tu…. PEACE.

    Kebanyakan debat pasal kereta p1 and p2. Malangnya p1 and p2 tak akan dengar keluhan kita kat sini kerana walaupun hampeh 100% kualiti material dia orang buat kereta, dia orang tau orang kita tetap akan beli juga walaupun hampeh kerana apa kerana RM RM punya pasal. Ada RM banyak bagus beli kereta toyota or honda.

    Kerana p1 and p2 tu lah pasal Pak menteri kecut perut bagi cukai bak nak mampus terhadap kereta import jikalau cukai 30% memang tak laku p1 and p2 tu….kereta TIN COCA COLA ….kat Brunei aku beli Toyota Altis baru je dlm $35 ribu tukar duit MALAYSIA masi murah lagi…..amat bertuahlah brunei punya Sultan yang prihatin tak kenakan cukai tinggi tak macam Malaysia memang cekik darah :(

    two awards for alza

    1.the coolest front design

    2.the ugliest rear design

    better take exora instead of alza

    exora may lack of power,but if you want mpv

    exora is the winner,but the quality is still the same

    maybe we have to wait a little bit of time too see proton improve their cars

    alza is the best 'hyper-compact' in the town

    note=if you got any health problem such as heart problem,please don't ever look at alza's rear part.just joking

    anyway,just wait for the campro turbo engine.

    ehmm.did you still remember that exora is an mpv car

    70km/h is quite good for a quite-heavy mpv

    no need to drive so fast,ok then….go get an alza for you

    a good sardine tin for you.please make sure that your family and you are 'fit' enough to enter this car

    owh….you're already qualified to own this car after many 'sauna' session inside exora

    don't regret it bro.

    for me if exora doesn't have any quality problem,maybe no more alza sale after this.

  • Kalau bandingkan dari segi aspek harga Exora lebih murah,saiz juga Exora yg lebih luas.Kualiti x pasti kerana sama-sama dipasang kt Malaysia.Seang citer klu nak selesa dari segi muatan penumpang Exora ler.Alza agak sempit,kurang lebar dan tempat duduk di belakang sekali sesuai untuk 2 org kanak-kanak buka seperti Exora yg boleh muatkan 2 org dewasa.Berkemungkinan dari pengunaan petrol Alza agak jimat dari Exora kerana saiz badan yang lebih kecil.Exora sebenarnya perlukan enjin yg lebih kuasa seperti 1.8 atau 2.0 liter memadai utk menggerakkan tubuh badan yg besar.Aku telah test drive kedua-dua model ini,dari segi handling Exora agak mantap tapi kurang pecutan dari 0-100km/h makan masa.Alza agak pecut tapi kurang mantap dari segi sistem hentakkannya.Apa-apa pun aku harap agar kedua-dua pengeluar model MPV ni dapat perbaiki kelemahan yg ada.Pelbagaikan kosmetik dalaman dan luaran dan juga variasi enjin utk bakal pembeli yg mampu.

    anyway.. aku pernah bawak exora naik genting ikut laluan simpang pulai.. agak mantap bila conner.. untuk mpv pertama malaysia.. aku boleh bagi 4 bintang. just KURANG HP but bila turun ikut karak.. hp tidak di perlukan lagi..

    dua minggu lepas aku try test drive Alza.. agak gayat bila lalu bulatan.. maybe sebab Alza kecil dan tidak lebar.

    Tidak di nafikan.. Alza agak terkenal but utk anak emas toyota, aku masih rasa Alza tu seperti Proton Juara yg pernah di berikan Mitsubishi kepada Proton.

    Well reveiw on this car. After much good reviews,its finally up to an individual,as yorself what do you expect for a car?especially under this catogory. To me priority be given to safety,everyday we ride in the congested road.which means high chance of accident.So a strurdy well built car can minimised injurues or even minimum repair cost.

    Fuel consuption is another important fakta yg perlu dipertimbangkan also.

    Alza has the same size as Avanza. So, can it be consider as a MPV if Avanza can call itself as MPV? my Alza fuel consumption costs me 8.4L per 100km after the 1st service in normal city drive. I love the car so far as it do not give me any trouble at the moment. I hope it will do its job well in future. I think it will as long as take good care of it.

    sucks your head! we will never regret to own Alza. Alza has the same space like Avanza. And it is cheaper than Avanza. Eventhough P2 has tune down the engine power, but it still can performs well on road for 7 adults. I have tested the car with 7 adults during CNY. I have driving it for 3 months. So far it only costs me 8.2L/100KM for automatic premium version for normal city drive. The only problem that i m facing now is the wind penetration at driver site and waiting SC to fix it. The engine is quiet and smooth with good handling.

IMAGINE WIRA in malaysia for at least 20 years.. where’s the FACELIFT? i don’t see any changes.. i had personally tested this car.. it is awesome.. timing chain, ABS ,EBD, SRS air bags 63,990k for me consider ok. For malaysian i dont think everyone is fetching 7 person ” daily ” the 2 seats it’s more to “emergency seats”? Perodua keeps getting better.. although the quality it’s a bit cheapo .. with a toyota engine & facelift from Toyota & Daihatsu i’m okay with it ..

    This is an excellent car.

    It will turned up as Boon Luminas n Passo Sette soon when there's acc available in town.

    I found it in term of look is good.

    Never had the chance to drive it yet.

    It suits well, from my point of view, for people from all ages.

    Competitive in terms performance with other MPVs in the market.

    Well despite of the complaints around here :

    a) Its not and MPV at all <–Dude, who cares? Why you actively breed your family? Go find a Bonggo, Econovan or Vannette then.

    b) The exterior is ugly <– Suit you face right, what's the fuss?

    c) The interior is cheap <– So u dont have to bring your dashboard into your bedroom at night.

    c) Costly <– Work more, earn more, talk more? What did u get? Find something suitable for you, dont bark about G policy or etc when u dont actually know how other countries in the world system suck big times then ours.

    mmg betul..proton never fails to dissappoint and perodua never dissappoint
    reliability…economic..durability..after sale service..perodua thumbs up
    see la exora owner dah start buat bising…2 weeks old exora baby ..screw absorber loose in highway..
    kalau kat negara membangun mmg dah kena saman dah proton ni
    tapi kat malaysia..service centre boleh cakap..biasalah..dah banyk mesti ada problem..
    then kitaorg beli kereta ni ngan duitla..bukan ngan nasib..

  • frankly speaking, having drive Myvi car that is at least 4 years old, lots of problem will start to surface : the suspension is getting more “hard” on bumpy road, lots of those annoying sound (some parts loosing sound) come from cabin eventhough drive thrgh a bit rough surface, the power window get struck, audio system nop more solids (radio reception getting bad, button faulty, speaking got abnormal sound), etc….

    since the Alza is the ‘enlarge’ version of the Myvi, so i aspect the same quality problem will arise after 3 yrs on ward….then the owner’s wallet will have the big hole inside!!!!…

    frankly, Alza cant categorise a ‘MPV’, bcoz it simply just ‘enlarged’ frm the hatch back car- Myvi…and in fact , it is not so spacier than Exora- which really redesign it, re-tune it, and realign the built of the new model…..

    feel like Perodua is not sincere in coming out the MPV model..but she just ‘enlarge’ the current model, just for the sack of getting MPV market share….no much changes for this model. BUT, selling it according to higher MPV car price!!!…..sure Perodua will earn like hell…..

    those car buyer must do much survey before decide to buy it…

    kereta juga “LtdPV” _ ada kawan kita cakap “lebeh baik pakai venette”. Jangan bandingkan dgn exzora atau mana2 MPV_ mereka ada klas tersendiri. Utility box ada sell.

    Saya baru belikan wife saya alza. Compared to her previous kenari, Alza more powerful n easily can fit in our 4 kids n 1 bibik.
    We don’t care about the luggage space because I already own an Unser. Unser space more than enough utk kami semua dan luggage utk balik kg atau holiday.
    Wife guna utk go to office only n 2 seater to put her document kerja.
    Bravo alza

    Alza ni memang aku minat gak pada bentuk nya…tapi masaalah nya ciri ciri keselamatan nya sangat membimbangkan…tengok aje lah bodynya terlalu lembut..bukak bonet depan tengok dari kiri kanan enjin kat bahagian absorber hanya sekeping atau satu layer menutup bahagian depan body enjin…begitu juga body yg lain semuanya lembut dan nipis …satu lagi kat tayar depan tu plastik bahagian atas yg melindungi percikan air dari masuk ke bahagian enjin pun terlalu nipis.lagi satu kalau bawak laju laju ada serpihan batu yg agak besar sikit kat alur bunga tayar tu terlepas mesti bocor kalau kene plastik tu…harga dah lah mahal…tak berbaloi…aku pun dah serba salah nak beli ke tidak

    • Tak perlulah serba salah bro azman. tepuk dada, tanya selera. Tepuk poket, tanya hati. If bro rasa harga mahal, how bout beli proton gen2 CPS baru tu…. cantik jugak.

      So far, alza aku best… ;)

    Wow, from Dec 14 2009 till now, still got people ‘leave a comment’ .

    Ok, This is my personnel point of view about this much attractive Alza.

    When I first saw the MPV (sometime car, as P2 describe it), it look nice, admit that, but when I pop up the hood, it surprised me how they safe weight. I would like all of us to open your eyes, and inspect carefully. I not sure how to describe it in plain English, but please look at how they attach the headlight to the body. Look under the black plastic under the headlight and you can see the tyre! Imagine how many kilos saved and imagine how much strength reduce? Regardless how the Perodua engineers explained to me (happen to know one of them, husband to my wife’s friend), I’m not convinced.

    Lastly, please check the link below: The beautiful Alza ‘modified’ by a van……

      Jl@ipl – Fyi the link yo attached below – did u actually read the news? If there’s something strong & hard with a HUGE IMPACT from behind (VOLVO) Common sense …i don’t think any car could resist it. even BMW or Mercedes.. The message i’m trying to bring out for you is.. there’s many other cars / brand with worst image.. it depend on what kind of scenario..

      for those who like to bash proton….. i was one of them

      but after i test drove the Exora vis-a-vis the Alza…. my decision was immediately made. Exora is my choice

      this is not about being nationalistic or patriotic or something like that. i bought the exora simply because it is value for money and comfort and practicality.

      5 years warranty lagi tu….. Alza got 5 years warranty ke?

      Hahaha…bro,

      you bawak Citra 140 km/h buat apa? Citra is more to family, kan? bawak ngan family, tak payahlah lari 140, betul tak?

      Nak lagi power, bawa I punya Iswara souped up ler. cecah 160km/h, ada lagi ruang sikit nak tekan gas pedal. Itu baru RUSH !!

      My point is, Alza & Exora is not built for speed. Alza built more for economy, Exora built more for a balance between economy & comfort. Citra built for a balance between power & comfort kot?

      BTW, Citra full seating berapa org ha, 5 ke 7? Mmg I tak tau. tolong bagi tau cikit ! Thanks aah…

    I think this discussion has gone on long enough. It all boils down to the buyer. Some would like something big, some prefer small. Some buy it because it is a Proton, some because it is a Perodua. Some even buy either one just because they don’t like the other. some prefer power & speed, some prefer comfort & economy.

    There is no such thing as a clear cut choice. Different people have different needs & tastes. If not, even a car like the Proton Tiara would not have sold or even have satisfied customers (strangely enough to me, there ARE satisfied customers for the Tiara !!). It means that what is right for me, may not be right for you, & vice versa.

    So let’s leave it at that & move on with our lives, yes ?

    The Exora, within the first 9 months of its market entry garnered 3 awards:
    1. Best Local Assembly MPV (Asian Auto – VCA Auto Industry Awards 2009);
    2. Winner of Car of the Year 2009 Award for small/mid-size MPV (Autocar Asean);
    3. and Car of the Year 2009 for midi MPV (NST/Maybank).

    Any award to Alza? Bestseller yes.

    Greetings from the Land Below The Wind. I test drove the Alza the other day and found it to be good. It could have been that I test drove the automatic model or the fact that I drove it on a straight stretch of road, but the vehicle did impress. As a matter of fact, I purchased a unit on the spot. It has the punch (when needed), really good handling and a great all round view from the driver’s perspective. The only gripe I have is that the advanced version only comes in three colours which are white (solid), metallic black and metallic purple. Why can’t the company offer the special pearl white as well?. I mean if I am willing to fork out 71K (which is the cost of the advanced version here)why can’t the company offer the better pearl white instead of the ivory white? Am now waiting in anticipation for the arrival of the M2 which is in blue. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    I get 7-7.4L/100km urban drive on Alza. 1-2 person. 80km/h. Can go up to 120km/h easily – I am not sure how many summons I collected so far.

    After this experience, I do not think I can trust many reviews. Many of the reviews are bias. Only thing is true about the review is cc of a car is correlated to the fuel consumption.

    Don’t be too eagle to test the car fuel consumption too soon when you get the new car. Every parts are just join together with friction. You need to smooth them up by driving for at leave 1000 to 15000 km. You shd be able to get min 6.9l/100km then on highway with 110km/h and not too hot weather. At night, I can get almost 15km/l driving alone on PLUS from Tampin to Penang.
