Perodua Alza and a long break...

Wow, how long has it been since my last post.... Oh well, it's not like my blog is a hot spot anyway. ;p

Just got back from Perodua showroom to take a look at their new model, ALZA. They say it's an MPV. But from what I saw, it's more like a sedan with a 3rd row seat. And the the 3rd row seat doesn't even look like a seat. More like a plywood warped with a thin layer of nylon.

Ok, it does look sporty. But an MPV? Nah...

And I can't help but compared it with Proton Exora even though they are not in the same segment. Why? Because the price is almost the same. And I have to say, Exora is better if you are really looking for an MPV. But, if you are just looking for a sedan with a bigger space, then, Alza is for you.

One thing though, this Alza gives me a Perodua Viva-ish kinda feeling when I press its body. Yup, the body is quite thin. Maybe not as thin as Perodua Viva's but it sure is in the 'thin' category.

Anyway, it's still to early to draw any conclusion. Will it be good or not, time will tell.
By the way, Proton Exora is doing good. I wonder will Perodua Alza steal Proton Exora market...even though one is a wagon, the other is an MPV.

For a better review, go to PaulTan.org.

Ok, enough of that, maybe this would be my last post for this year since I'm going for a very long holiday back at my kampung in Sabah. There's no internet connection in my kampung. And also, my bachelor days will come to an end. Oh yeah...
