Good explanation, kinda makes sense, just saying from experience cause before this when I drove my dad's Pajero sport, and my cousin's Lancer X, this sorta thing happened, and their SC said it was the ABS.

you org taiping? I went back to visit my parents. haha.. juz came back to penang again.

too bad then. haha

Haha no la. I was holidaying in penang, stopped by taiping to visit my grandma before continuing down to KL

Took a drive to the seaside today. Ventured into the sand, nearly got stuck but the Traction Control kicked in. Could see the light illuminate and the engine power reduced. Kinda scary but it did its job

Maybe he meant EPS (Electric Power Steering) instead of ABS? If he really said the latter then the SC guy really needs to pick up a book, or he totally misunderstood you.

Man, that's scary. Could have been worse.

Yeah the EPS resistance, or weight changes as the speed increases. Heavier on high speed, light on slow, e.g parking lot, etc. The same applies to Ford Fiesta, which this car based it's handling from. A good benchmark.

anyone here driving a manual Iriz? Kinda regret getting the CVT =P

Me!! 1.6 😄

I'm gonna pickup my car in a couple of days. 1.6 MT

Hey, I also drove up to penang from Putrajaya. Managed to get 7.7l/100km or 12.7km/l on the PETRONAS 97. Managed to cover 427km then low furl lights up.
I was avging 120 I think. With the occasional dash to 160km/h.
Impressed how you managed to cover 510km... I can only get 400s km.... I'm driving mt1.6
I'm still in penang hehe. Lebuh chulia area

damn i drive back kulim from kl area only managed to cover 380+km with 1 bar left. but my leg very heavy lahh.

Wahh RON 97 ah.. Haha. I use Shell 95 only well I think maybe it was because of your 160km/h that contributed to the 7.7l/100km. Maybe the total weight contributed as well?

My trip up was almost constantly 120km/h, I never went further than that. Plus i was traveling alone with a half filled suitcase, so i suppose my car was light enough to achieve 6.5l lol. Plus in Penang I drove pretty slow and mostly on left lane. Penang drivers are scary

My trip back to KL yesterday was 7.5l/100km. Drove at 120km/h until Tg Malim then moved up to 140km/h all the way home

Can share why the regrets of getting the cvt?

I have both 1.3 and 1.6 cvt. Interested to know what you faced that makes mt a better choice.

Drove with my family except eldest from kota tinggi to jb yesterday afternoon in my 1.3. Was in a hurry. Going at about 100 to 110km/h, weaving through traffic, leaving behind myvis, swifts and others, except a preve tailgating me. Let him passed through when the traffic was less. Iriz turbo would have been nice...

Sometimes I regret getting the CVT too. Miss the feeling of driving MT but for peace of mind, I went for CVT . sakit kaki lah bro hari hari stuck in jam

Can we dream that proton will make like a package where existing iriz owners can upgrade/install an original turbo kit?

I was very close to order MT. But thinking for my lady

Really annoyed with idiots who don't know how to open doors. Car in box also open so big. Yesterday was in my car and an idiot saw me and still whack my car with his door then say sorry. Eh fool sorry going to make my dimple dissappear ah? Idiot!

I also have 1 rear passenger door

The paint is chipped until I can see the black part(probably the bare metal already)

Yeah that's probably the reason. Got 4 ppl in the car. Tmrw when I drive back I'll try 95.
I notice some penang drivers like to have part of thier car on the side lane. Normally I just accelerate infront and push the car back to its lane/claim my lane back. But honestly, the scary part is the motorcyclists. Them young mofos ride like maniacs. One even did a one wheeler a street infront of queensbay

mine also. i just ignore liao. sooner or later will kena one, already prepare my mind.

Actually for Iriz, using RON 97 should give you decreased hp and torque cuz 97 is less suitable for its engine. This contributed to your high fc.

I agree. This is why I am afraid to drive to penang.

Mudah already has Iriz turbo kit. RM5999. I would not advice to put it on if your driving a CVT due to the max amount of torque the CVT can handle.

My left and right rear passenger door has marks left behind by idiots who always swing their door open.
