Bought new, Owned for 2 Years
Fuel Economy: 8.0 km/litre (12.5 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 600 km/month
1. Safety
2. Ride and Handling
3. Comfort - Car is tall and is like a mini SUV. I am 6 foot. No problem entering or banging my head like other small hatchback. Getting of also easy as the seat is high and good for not so young people like me.
4. Under 100 km/h very nice engine performance, not very loud, lots of torque without needing to step hard like Perodua cars.
5. Just beautiful!
- Sucks fuel like drug addict: 8km/l is normal if always stuck in start stop traffic like me around Kota Damansara/The Curve/LDP/ Damansara Jaya area.
- Above 100 km/h, RPM is like 3000+, Campro starts to roar.
- Proton SC sucks, Forever can't fix any problem and only know how to do standard service like changing engine oil.
- Pray don't spoilt, because Proton=NO SPARE PARTS.
To improve
This car is the final version of the Iriz (around 2022 i think) and has massive improvement over it's predecessor. I hold out buying the early versions because of issues like lag from complete stop, CVT whinning etc. This final version is really the version that should be launch. It has fixed most of the problems. No more CVT loud whinning and the lag delay has been reduced a lot, although it's still there (characteristic of PUNCH CVT). It has also new feature like auto disengage the Punch clutch when idle to prevent wearing out the clutch. The best Iriz, in a nutshell.
Yes, I would recommend this car
