I just had a test drive, 1.3 a tas no mt available. Quite a nice car, handling is kinda good and the car feel stiffer too. The SA told me that he will try to get a 1.6 mt for me to test.

Overall i'm ok with it as the car is kinda suitable for my driving style.

I maxed out my current car on the 3rd day after i took it and its not even 1k yet, drive at varied speed and rpm and shift thru all the gears. Till today the car still can hit max speed.

I think this is similiar to the motorman engine break in technique

Minor scratches can do yourself. For more extensive damage, can go to a number of paint car shop. I sent to one when my 1.6 graze pretty badly with a concrete wall above the front left tyre. The shop did a pretty good job of repairing and painting it.

scratches looks bad, a little bit deep. can see the fibre glass i guess. i dun think can do by myself. any recommended paint shop bro? in jb?? tq

But y always ppl say cannot drive too vigorously during the break in period? D*mn, i so scare i till wont dare over rev my car..

old way of thinking. Same as ppl advice to warm up car before moving. Totally pointless, wasting fuel and harming the environment. Not to forget, you don't even actually warm your car up by idling. Moving the car will get the engine warmed up in 1-2 mins but letting the car idle for 10 mins doesn't even get the engine warmed up enough for optimal performance.

20-30 years ago punya story..

Drive however you want during break-in period, just apply common sense to what you want to do to your car. Don't redline it, do burnouts or donuts, etc etc.

Machines & lubricants these days are so advanced, a lot of the "break-in practices" are practically myths..

Guys... I just got my iriz 1.6 cvt premium. She's 1 week old now. And got problem with the radio. The nav panel looks fine tho butthe proton info tainment system not starting up. If i put on reverse, there still the display for reverse cam. Now i cant even listen to radio 😒. Any1 experience the same thing?

Hi, mind to tell when did you get your iriz? I got mine registered on 30th Oct.

question. does iriz 1.6 exec got hidden key hole on the doors?
cos recenlty i left my car with disconnected batteries. and now i just realized with no batteries how can i unlock the door to open up the hood.

Yes, refer to your manual, got teach u how to slot in your key to reveal the key hole on the handle

yay. thank you. now im relieved. i noticed there is key icon on the handle. must be hidden somewhere.

U look at the bottom of that key icon plastic, u can see a small hole for you to slot in your key and remove the plastic cover, the key hole is underneath the cover

RM300 with paint is considered ok lah bro

Is it just scratches or there is a dent?

I initially touch up myself and the result was satisfactory. Unfortunately my mom wack the same concrete piller against the front left side of the car again, harder this time.. must be her blind spot.

I passed my car my nephew who is a mechanic. He picked it up at my house and send it back to me when its done. A bit more expensive but less work for me

I can pm you his number if you still interested.

sakitnya when i see this

Agree. Even the manual in Proton also updated with the fuel saving tips which is to drive right after starting the engine if possible. Idling with engine running at start will only waste petrol.

What is done, is done. And when it was done by the parents accidentally, even more so. Cost rm370 to repair and repaint.

Love you mom

but if change rims only i don think effect anything ... just plug and play lol

I've noticed my car having issues reaching my recorded max speed of 185km/h.. It's at 8300+ km now and I've changed the tyres from 55 to 60. I think it's time to change engine oil and recalibrate the speedometer..
