Kerajaan percaya masih banyak ruang untuk penambahbaikan penglibatan bumiputera di dalam industri automotif di negara ini. Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib ...
Yes, we showed you the car unwrapped yesterday, but today is the day of the Perodua Alza facelift’s official launch, and here are the full details, specs and pricing from the event at 1 Utama.
The compact three-row MPV’s proven mechanicals are unchanged, so under the hood is the familiar 3SZ-VE 1.5 litre engine with DVVT. With 104 PS and 136 Nm of torque, the 16-valve DOHC unit is paired to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic.
The Alza has been around for over four years (launched back in November 2009, 167k sold to date) so a fresh face is welcome. The MPV looks more like the current Myvi now, with a more sculptured front bumper, a thicker grille and a reshaped lower air intake. The headlamp cluster loses the orange-coloured “eyebrow” signal lamps above the main projectors.
At the back, the tailgate gets a black-painted strip adjoining the glass. The Perodua and Alza emblems sit on this strip. It’s a small change that delivers quite a big visual difference. The bumper gets vertical reflectors at the edges, following the style of the original Myvi SE. The Alza gets an SE variant for the first time and it wears a five-piece bodykit for a sportier look.
Safety-wise, the four-star ASEAN NCAP car is equipped with dual-airbags across the board, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, and ISOFIX mounts (second row) for child seats. The front brakes are ventilated discs while the rear brakes are drums.
Inside, changes include a black interior in place of the previous two-tone black/grey combo, a new instrument cluster design and a for the Advanced Version, a multimedia system with navigation and reverse camera functions, plus a roof-mounted monitor. You’ll also find a storage compartment under the new front armrest for the automatic variants. The third-row seats can now be split-folded.
Five colours are available, and they are Ivory White, Ebony Black, Glittering Silver, Mystical Purple and Passion Red. All are metallic colours except for Ivory White. Red is a new colour.
The latest Alza starts from RM52,400 for the Standard (MT), while the Standard (AT) is RM3k more at RM55,400. One rung up is the SE, which is priced at RM56,400 for the (MT) and RM59,400 for the (AT). The auto-only Advanced Version with all the bells and whistles has a sticker price of RM64,000 OTR.
According to Perodua, prices have been reduced by 2.1% to 7.4%; the latter applicable to the top spec car. The Alza, like all Perodua models since the S-Series was launched in March 2013, comes with three years of free service.
MCN overall verdict
For 2010 they’ve made the Shiver more user friendly by lowering and
narrowing the seat. They’ve also improved the sporting side of the
Aprilia by giving the new bike higher and further set back pegs,
slightly different bars, narrower rear wheel, and improving the brakes
with racy wavy discs. Suspension has also been firmed up slightly.
Cosmetically it’s been given a sportier new look and new noise.Engine

Engine wise the Shiver remains virtually
unchanged, however Aprilia admit to playing around with the fuelling and
fly by wire to make the fuelling smoother. This means power and torque
is the same as before 95bhp and 60ftlb of torque, which is enough for a
top speed of around 130mph. You don’t really need to bounce the Shiver
off its rev limiter as there is plenty of usable torque for a brisk road
ride.
Ride and Handling

The lower and narrow seat means you’re slightly
more involved with the bike, more in it than on it. Suspension has been
slightly stiffened for 2010 and the additional rear set pegs give the
Shiver a sporting edge. Brakes are strong and progressive. Over long
distances it’s not perfect but fine for a long days riding with a few
breaks.

Note that my Shiver is completely stock. The only thing I’ve done is remove the head fairing to give it a more pure streetfighter look.
Pros:
- Looks Awesome from front to back, badass attractive streetfighter look and stance.
- Immense accessible Torque and power from around 3800 RPM to up to 7500 RPM
- Amazing Sound, that thing really sounds mean and imposing even with stock exhaust.
- Easy to ride, very flickable, Excellent Handling.
- Wheelies in 1st and 2nd Gear
- Stoppie Looks amazing with the Massive undertail Exhausts pointing skywards
- Brakes are good, pretty good stopping power (Rear brake feels kind of mushy)
- Rain Mode could be useful
Cons:
- Abysmal Gearbox , mishifts , it randomly jumps to Neutral when changing gears especially noticeable in the upper gears, not very easy to find neutral on standstill. ( this is a huge disappointment to me) however I have noticed that it’s getting better now that I’ve put some more miles on it. (1013 miles on ODO now)
- Seat is just not as comfortable as I expected it to be. I have no problem with seat height in fact I prefer it to be high, but that seat is just uncomfortable to sit on for more than 1 hour.
- Non-Adjustable suspension, some people say it’s too soft some say it’s too stiff, personally I think it’s kind of both. It’s too stiff if you don’t feel like tooling around and just want to ride comfortably or commute and it’s not as stiff and firm as I like to be if am riding canyons or doing high speed turns. Some slight headshakes and wiggles when ridden hard.
- Uncomfortable to ride on High speeds (above 80mph), but I guess that’s standard with naked bikes and it’s not that big a deal
- I don’t like the feel of the engine after 7500 rpm it sort of like gets boring.
- Low speed bogging? Below 30km/h the bike just feels like its dying, it seems like something wrong with fuel delivery or maybe sprocket set up.
- Mode Changing is kind of distracting; Sport Mode is a bit too snappy, while Touring Mode is allright I guess
This is a very Honest review, I’de like to say I’m an aggressive rider and am very demanding of the bikes I own. I chose the Shiver because I was looking for a bike with an upright position because after 5 years of riding crotch rockets for nearly everyday I was starting to feel pain in my neck and back.
Overall I don't regret Buying the Aprilia Shiver but i just expected better.
Please if you have read my review and have any solutions to these Cons , I’m all Ears.
