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?
*
true......reverse sensor sound too soft even if i on the radio, i can't really hear the beeping sound.......later see can changed the buzzer..........any advice

got my tires from my friend's shop, he gave me a very good offer.......to my opinion.......he took my original tires (less then 70km used) for rm.90 each

radio reception no so good and the antenna looks weird......later look for shorter type..........any opinion which type

boot don't have light and plastic cover at the opening.......if we take or put things into the boot, i think will scratch the paint work

horn sound soft........some of my opinion on this car

Took my car today and straight went to changed the tires to 185x60r14.....yokohama c-drive 2.......
Happy with this car and very stable on highways but need to get used to the CVT transmission.
Need some tips on the central locking....does it have beeping sound?
Thanks

No beeping sound. Gotta listen to the guns make the lock sound. If unsure just press lock button again. If it enters car finder then you know its lock.

I have added to my 1.3 std mt:
1. Tint
2. Spoiler. The 1.6 type

Next:
1. Boot light
2. Rear wiper
3. "Rear handle" or whatever you call it. Normally used to hook your newly pressed clothes from dobi. I was shock yesterday that there was none at the back. Haih..

What else to add?

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.

Of course, I'm from Costa Rica, I work as an IT lead for a multinational in Cyberjaya.

So far, the car has behaved superbly. I find some procedures a bit fidgety, like someone else said, sometimes I wait outside waiting for my girlfriend to come out of her office and I switch the car on and I intend to keep the radio on. However, in order to place the car in "ACC" I need to close the door lock the car and open it again so that the sequence of the button starts all over again (ACC, ON, Start). Otherwise, the LED on the button stays off and my radio will shut off after some time.

Also, the gear lock, I feel it's a great addition, but I wished it was an optional thing. I park the car sometimes and I leave it in neutral, then I lock it and I can hear the gear lock trying to lock 3 times but because the car isn't in reverse it doesn't lock, and I guess that's not so good for the lock to be trying to lock and opening and cycling so many times, so I always leave it in R. hmm.gif

Finally, one day, I parked and I placed the gear in "R" and it locked. I was getting off the car, I remembered I actually needed to go somewhere else, and I sat back down, and i couldn't unlock the gear until I opened the door and unlocked the car with the keyfob... rclxub.gif

Anyway, I think these aren't deal breakers to me and with some wishful and positive thinking, I think they can be fixed and or changed with software updates by service.

The car, overall, is amazing, I'm very happy with it. It truly is comparable, feature-wise at least, to Hondas, Kias, and current Toyotas and Nissans. Maybe I even dare to compare it to a friend's Polo.

The spoiler cost me rm350. My sa sure take a cut but then he handles everything. He said he sent to a shop in pasir gudang. He told me to monitor if there are any vibration from it. Report back to him if any. Have not travel far yet. Over my housing area bumbs, there was no ratling sound so far.

Except for severe service. SC would say driving in Malaysia in considered severe service. Look at your service manual an understand what conditions that Proton actually consider as severe service. Most of us are not on severe service, even though we go through jams every day.

Yep most of us are not on severe service. I have the Sam Loo endorsed Hilux for that. 10,000km on cheapest mineral oil also runs fine.
So this means I could opt for the Syntium 800 semi oil at rm118(price vary) per oil change every 10,000km, save a lot of money in the long run.

Thanks for posting this. So if my first 1k service i use semi-syn, then can skip 5k service?

Initially i thought of doing first 1k service (semi-syn), then 5k service (semi-syn) then 10k service (semi-syn). After 10k onwards, service every 10k, so next service will be 20k. Semi-syn oil for all.

I might just follow what I stated above. Cause I feel it would help keep the engine cleaner after 1k service and not drag it too far to 10k as the car is still new. After 10k service only follow back the recommended service-cycle for semi-syn oil which is 10k km.
^ Any benefit like I stated above of doing that 5k service? Or it's just a psychological thing and doesn't really affect the car. hmm.gif Depending on what other's thoughts on this, i might/might not skip 5k service then.

Just received my car and drove it from Perak to Penang.

First impression
Good handling and sturdy
power is considered ok as it is a 1.3 engine, i believe 1.6 is even more powerful.
everything is good but for the radio, i set the volume to 3 but i turn it off and open again the volume is 6/7 again.

overall it is a very good car, value for money. so far no sound lol

Just want to clarify on the above. Proton Iriz service interval is 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first. This means that after 6 months from last service, even though u haven't traveled 10000 km, need to go for service/oil change.

So my money wasted before when I used fully synthetic doh.gif
