Ohhhh that reminds me, please add me too... I got mine on Wednesday last week.

Sure, I've encountered some of the same problems others have pointed out. The rear passenger door creaks when you open it but a tiiiiny dab of lithium grease fixed it.

Also, the volume of the radio sometimes increases on its own, no problem, and rattling on the dashboard has happened once or twice, but overall; it's a great, great car.

I have driven many other cars, and they all have some thing or another, sooner or later. This is a very good car and I truly hope it will last a very long time. Paul Tan's site has a great write-up on it too and I feel he's right on the spot with accuracy.

I'm not Malaysian, but I applaud the effort Proton has done and I think this is truly a product to be proud of from Malaysia.

I just went for a joyride.

Took the Iriz for a run, went up to 4k rpm/120+km/h and heard the VVT breathing/roaring to life.  icon_idea.gif

Btw, CVT huh... From 0-100+ the speed just climbs and climbs. Like a train feeling. It just goes faster & faster. No gear changes, no upshift jerks/lags, smooth all the way. If one doesn't pay attention to the speedo, could be totally oblivious towards driving speed.  brows.gif

Btw want to ask for 1.3 CVT, what is the rpm @ speed.

Mine is 2.6k-ish rpm @ 100km/h but 2.9k~3k rpm @ 110km/h.

Is it correct?

Took my one to drive to Melaka last Thursday, 120km/h+ at about 3k rpm thou thumbup.gif

So..

CVT:-

1.3: 2k rpm = 80km/h & 3k rpm = 110km/h
1.6: 2k rpm = 85km/h & 3k rpm = 120km/h

Seems about right as official stated top speed for 1.3 is 160km/h & for 1.6 is 170km/h

EDIT: Also I did some test with the car and got these results for 1.3 CVT. From 80km/h @ 2k rpm onwards, +- around 300 rpm for every 10km/h increase. So 90km/h around 2.3k rpm, 100km/h around 2.6krpm


Maybe someone else can compile for MT 1.3 & 1.6 then can pin @ 1st page.
MT official stated top speed for 1.3 is 165km/h & for 1.6 is 175km/h

On a side note: Driving at more than 100km/h the car is solid as hell. No vibrations at all! No vibrations at the engine bay/hood, no vibrations at the steering wheel, no vibrations at the doors/body of the car. I feel safe & secured driving at that speed. Steering tightens nicely too, so it feels very grippy to the road.

Sigh.....
It seem I have to send to SC this weekend and file a complaint. (since need to do the 1000km service)

Yesterday just manage to reboot the radio system and the sound comeback alive (by setting the area and touch the country).
Damage: all the preset radio station frequency reset to default... mad.gif  mad.gif

I received my new iriz last 2 weeks ago.

Since it is a Proton with infemes various teething quality issue but i don't expect it within 1st 3years ever since my confident level give a thumb up when bought Exora 6years ago.

I'm already puzzling why can't proton give the hardcopy version of the infotainment system manual instead of refer its softcopy location inside the helpfile?
I'm searching high and low in internet as well as blaupunkt website but the model iriz using not available...sigh......  grumble.gif  grumble.gif  grumble.gif

Need help where I able to download the manual file (pls don't instruct me to use the suprima-s manual as current iriz using another model)

The radio giving headache with intermittent no sound even after off and on again.
I notice whenever I didn't fully off & lock the car (i mean arm the alarm and go out from the car as I staying inside the car waiting for my wife come from office. average about 20mins but sometime my wife work late and I waited until 1hour). The radio as well as media player will not output any sound but the display showing it is working. Activate the gps is ok and there is even sound to be hear.

Anyone encounter this issue before?

nope. locking/unlocking no sound. But the alarm does work. and it's bleeping loud, contrary to the car horn which is damn mild =.= Speaking of other mild things, the reverse sensor is very mild too.(worse than mild actually. With radio on @ volume 5+ cant even hear the reverse sensor clearly)

EDIT: Btw how much the new tyres cost you before/after trade-in?

may I ask where are you from then? and also congrats! From one Iriz owner to another, I too hope our cars able serve us for a long time without giving much headache. thumbup.gif

and on your last point, if Proton did as much homework on their quality control as they did when building with Iriz, then it would truly make Malaysians proud of Proton for once. Quality control is still the bane of Proton. But nonetheless, if you see from Preve to Suprima and now Iriz, they've made considerable improvements and the future looks promising for Proton if they keep up the good work.
