1.6 VVT Premium CVT (2015)
Bought new, Owned for 8 Years
Fuel Economy: 9.0 km/litre (11.1 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 800 km/month
1. Handling is superb, everytime I drive this car around corners is such a vibe.
2. Chassis is solid, it does not feel like tin milo at all. The body feels heavy and planted.
3. Engine packs a punch, got enough pickup to memotong other cars.
4. Safety like 6 airbags, ESC and Proton's HPF body structure makes me feel confident.
5. Long distance trip for this car is very good. The ride is comfortable and planted.
6. Seats, especially the front two are fantastic. It huggs you in all the right places. It's night and day compared to Myvi G3 seats.
1. CVT transmission is not great. It's slow to react. Sometimes, it took almost 2 seconds to react to the pedal. It's annoying especially during sudden acceleration or on slow traffic.
2. Fuel consumption is really high. It's not suitable for city driving.
3. Limited cabin space, especially at the back seats and the boot.
4. Build quality is still a lot to be desired. Dashboard rattles sometimes, and the plastics felt cheap like really cheap.
5. Take good care of the cooling system of the car, because Iriz is famous for cooling problems like high temps, and rusty radiator.
To improve
1. Improve the CVT gearbox, make it smoother and quicker reaction.
2. Fuel consumption should not be that high.
3. Build quality, I get it it's an affordable car, but still, I just need a bit more solid feel.
3. I like the design of the car, especially the higher spec with DRL makes it stand out (for me at least)
Yes, I would recommend this car
