Morning everyone, selamat hari raya to all!

Quick question; any premium spec owners experiencing situations whereby your keyfob trips antitheft sensors at shops? Makes me nervous every time i walk in/out of shops >_< worried that the shops i visit regularly might start to think im a shoplifter lol

I'm dead convinced it's because of my keyfob and the radio frequency.. Anyone know where i can have it fixed? Must go to CoE or normal service centre can do?

Im convinced it is, because it started happening ever since i bought the car back in april. Tired la pretending to be terkejut all the time hahah

I did, but sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt. Some shop alarms ring, some dont.

Interestingly there was one instance just the other day when i was in Watsons 1st Avenue Mall Penang, the alarm tripped but my keyfob was in my hotel room. All i had on me was tapaued food, the clothes in my back that ive had for years, wallet with only cards and cash, and my phone. All of those I've had longer than my car (except food lol) and none of them have ever tripped the alarm before

I don't know la.. But is there an actual possibility that keyfobs for push to start cars can cause incidents like that?

For the simple reasons being:
1. Perodua salesman gave me a terrible sales pitch. He was highlighting on 'this model has touch screen, that model has bodykit'.. All which are nice to have but not important enough to convince me to make a decision

2. Said Perodua salesman was really cocky with me. He was saying "You tengok ah ada banyak itu Myvi on the road.. banyak orang beli ini kereta maksudnya ini kereta banyak bagus punya".. In Truth, the Myvi never had a real competitor for almost a decade until the Iriz came along

3. I hate Myvis, I hate the way they look, and the rotten apples that drive this metal coffin gave me a bad impression on Myvi drivers in general

4. As some of you are aware, there was a rebate on 2014 models during CNY this year. I would be a stupid man to turn down an RM 8k rebate on an Iriz Premium spec which brings down the cost to slightly above the Myvi Premium X with no waiting list to top it off

5. I grew up with continental cars and always had a preference for it, and the Iriz does a good job at replicating that continental feel

6. It had a refreshing look and I honestly think they look nice

7. Please refer to Reason 3

Haha nice meeting you too!


My drive up to Penang on Monday gave me an average of 6.5l/100km with mileage about 510km at an average speed of 120km/h. Can still drive down to War Museum, queensbay mall, gurney plaza, before refueling when my tank left me with about 75km to go.

I'll be driving back to KL from Penang today with a quick stop in Taiping to visit my grandma. Let's see how my FC and mileage is on the way back at 120km/h. Hopefully traffic is clear too!

Silver bro. I'm still in Penang, just about to check out from hotel

Whereabouts in Taiping are you at? I'll be in around Taiping Sentral area

Yeah! By far, I think black is the rarest of them all. Funny though, always imagined black, white and silver to be the most common.

Any reason why moon dust grey is so popular..?

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

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

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

Woohoo! Congrats, happy to know you're officially an owner!

I had a problem with bluetooth call too. I gave up and just used the normal bluetooth handsfree kit instead.

Did you check if seatbelt got in the way when folding back up the rear seat? Happens to me quite often.

I tested this on my way back home from work earlier. It does sound a little different, but i don't know what to feel about it. Hahaha. More excited at the fact that traffic was light today

Mine is 1.6 premium.. Not much difference compared to exec spec besides DRL, 6 airbags and leather seats. imo I'm very very happy with it.

I've had little to no problems with the car.. Just minor inconveniences like faulty reverse sensor (left one beeps monotonously even though nothing behind), touch screen calibration occasionally haywire, and other minor aesthetic issues.

Performance-wise.. I have zero complaints. Go for it! I would pick this baby over a myvi ANYTIME

This is something my SA highlighted to me during inspection when i collected my car. He says it's normal and there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

Any thoughts or comments on this, Vincent?

I'm at the service centre now for what i thought was a regular oil change. I followed the mileage written on the sticker stuck on my windshield instead of on my HUD. The admin showed me the cost just and homaigoddd RM150 for oil, air filter and some general checking?!?

I'm gonna die if this is an every 5000km thing. I'm doing sales and i easily cover 1000km in a week. Car is only like maybe 5 months old and my mileage is already at 15.5k km

This reminded me of my post last saturday when i went for oil change.

Can't remember who asked (i think it was bro adijb) which oil was used for my car. They used Petronas Syntium 800 10W/30 4L. No idea what the numbers mean except for the volume. Price is RM131.44 nett (RM124 before 6% GST)

When i went to SC last week, mileage was recorded at 15700km. Sticker on windshield indicates next oil change is 20701km (5000km later).

Given the above, can anyone tell me if my SC kencing me or it's memang supposed to be 5000km with the oil they used. I really don't know this kind of stuff la =\

Hahah. Almost every big sales transaction in this country involves gifts as a way to seal a deal. I work for a reputable hotel brand and I do this kind of thing almost daily to make sure difficult clients sign a contract with me (anything from free usage of projectors to free hotel rooms). Better to lose a little than to lose a whole piece of business

Now that you mention it, I'd just noticed today the rattling sound coming from my dashboard, though I'm unsure if it's a new problem or the sound has been drowned out by music the whole time. Hahaha..


Also, am very impressed with my car. I forgot that I left my key in the back seat, but my car could still detect my key and I drove home from work with no problems

Oh my god hahahaha almost choked on my morning coffee when i saw the reaction photo hahaha. I usually just give way, wanna try this out next time :D

This should only happen only if you turn on your wipers while you are in reverse

I don't think we have this feature though. I had to slam the brakes pretty hard in front of Pavilion earlier, and I don't recall any signal lights blinking. There was only me hurling abuse and flipping the finger at the other driver lool

Very diplomatic response bro! Hahaha. Yes, everything mentioned is right, so you must take that into consideration.

By right, Iriz and Axia cannot be compared because they're not direct competitors. But since he mentioned that the Iriz can match the Axia a little closer in terms of price, I say go for the Iriz and never look back.

You get a WHOLE LOT MORE safety features with the Iriz which imo outweighs little unimportant-but-nice-to-have things like touch screen, bodykits etc

Yes bro, you're right. Unfortunately it just unlocks the boot, and will still have to be manually opened. I find the feature quite redundant for Premium spec owners because it's faster to just open it manually while the keyfob is in their pocket.

I dream of the day when Iriz boot lids open and close at the touch of a button like in more expensive cars
