Looking at the owners list. Seems that I'm the only one with 1.6Mt premium. Would that mean I can sell off easily?

yes and no...

yes..manual cars holds its value well, and less problematic...
no..it shows that there is lack of interest for MT model, especially high priced 1.6...

Hello guys,

Well cut to the chase, what is the main reason you guys choose Iriz over Myvi or any other cars that fall under the budget ?

safety is no 1...

no2 is driving pleasure...
(Neo owners here)

Lack confidence when speeding in Myvi. Lack confidence =  cant speed + if speed then will feel uneasy.
Other than that for that few hundred extra im spending getting an Iriz, I am getting way more in terms of safety, excitement and more. Also based on my experience, sitting in Myvi at the back from Subang to Klang caused me to have a back ache while from KL to Camerons parents sitting at the back didnt complain.

Due to personal feelings, I dislike how Perodua does their business. Take an existing car, sell it for cheap I'm ok with that but after so many years they only keep doing facelift and not improving the safety of the car is a big no-no. After Iriz came out, I waited for Perodua's response and it was here's a facelift and new gearbox.

Also I intend to buy and keep the car for at least 10 years therefore I need to choose something I would not regret. So far my only semi-regret is not getting 1.6MT but since I just started working at that time so I don't have much money.

spend few hundred extra?
i spend few thousand less for an Iriz..
and that myvi didn't even got ABS...

Don't worry overtime you will get used to it and adjust your braking point naturally smile.gif
Idk but my steering feels direct, like ford fiesta but better. For me Iriz steering feel is better than fiesta.
This morning while driving on highway chasing a gen 2 the rubber strip on the roof peeled off. Found out there is a small double sided tape under it. Luckily it doesn't hit any car or anyone(I hope). Going to COE tomorrow morning for warranty claim.  sweat.gif

I guess I drove too fast  tongue.gif

[attachmentid=5101404]

p/s: I saw a lot of new cars getting hit from behind. I think this is because the owner is not familiar with the new car braking power so they tend to over apply the brakes. Please be careful. It pains me to see new cars kemek oredi.

i just lost this few minutes ago...
hope can claim warranty....

and i just realise the window washer failed...maybe some loose hose...

driver power window very slow going up...going down OK...

Happen to my 1.6 about 2 months ago. Was at pasar tani parking while waiting for my mom and wifey. Wind down all the windows and switch off the engine. When everyone was ready and wanted to go back home, started the engine, wind up both front windows, success. Next, wind up both rear windows but both stop about half way up. After this, all 4 windows is not responding.

Sent to the sc the week after for 2nd service and to check on this problen. Forgot what the sc said, something like relay or fuse problem with the left rear window that short the whole power window system. They replaced the faulty part but it is not covered under warranty and i had to pay for it. Again don't remember how much but it was less then rm40.

Had to go back to sc the week after for them to do a thorough check of the wiring as they were worried that it could happen again. Was told i cannot use the left rear window until further checks or else it could happen again. Went to sc again and it took them about an hour to identify and rectify it.

So far no issue with the windows since.

By the way, if both rear windows are wind down about half way as per what happened to mine, driving at about 70km/h and above will cause the air coming into the car via both rear windows to make noises that is quite painful to me ears.. ouch..
*
lol...the bassy wind sound...

i find its quite funny...how can it be like that?

Iriz CVT problem is not speed...but low speed driving...it jerks like stupid...

similar feeling to bad person driving manual...but it only happen once...while bad person driving manual will happen on every gear change...

a to b, not interested in cars, cvt.

im a speed demon and i drive auto all the way...even my neo is auto...
racing up to 180km/h on non-highway road with manual 'loud exhaust' neo is fun...
FUN when he realize there's near silent auto neo cucuking him from behind...


QUOTE(adijb @ Oct 29 2015, 09:47 PM)
I test drove axia and iriz 1.3mt and 1.6cvt before deciding on iriz.

Agree with the video except for the cvt part. After adapting to it, don't find it to be bad at all.
*
agree on that...when you get the tune, its not that bad...

its still bad compared to manual, but maybe on par or even better than auto torque convertor...

I couldn't agree more. I wouldn't want to burden them more than as I am already.

Quick question, won't it be more cheaper to add bodykit/spoiler on our own, instead of forking out a few k's more for the exec spec? (Typical car newbie)

Advices would really be appreciated, thanks!
*
yes, if that so...

but those extra USB port are really needed....
and you cant add rear wiper....

>4k for usb ports
haha. good goy.

use a car charger.
use a usb hub. works for charging, doesn't work for data.
rain x for rear window.

4k is not worth it for a bit of plastics.
after market bodykit cost way less.
*
if that so, then doesnt need to take the 1.6 version...RM7k difference...
you can change from 1.3 to 1.6 by changing crankshaft...
swap all those required items and voila, 1.6 power with 1.3 road tax...

rear wiper is really needed for hatchback bodystyle...previously i own satria neo base line, without rear wiper...
it wont come often, but when it comes, its handy...

QUOTE(KayKaiju @ Nov 10 2015, 12:09 AM)
sad.gif Now I can't make up my mind.

actually i own the standard version...

im just justifying the exec options and pricing...

if you remain at D and apply brakes, you wont cause as much wear and tear to your transmission as compared to going from D>N and N>D. (think of it this way, do you notice the slight jerk when going from P>D or N>D and vice versa? yeah, that's the whole transmission at work.. so you are constantly engaging/disengaging the transmission system)

But naturally, your brake pads gets worn out faster than if you change to N and don't apply brakes at stops.

Which then comes down to this, where do you want to spend your money on? On worn out brake pads or on worn out transmission? For me, I rather spend money on new brake pads than taking the risk of having problematic transmission in the future.
*
the brake wont wear when youre stopping (during waiting)....unless youre 'dragging' the car slowly....

and there is a bit wear and tear on transmission if you leave it on D....the transmission still feeding the power while in D....thus the clutch wear off due to slipping...



QUOTE(ben3232 @ Dec 2 2015, 08:58 PM)
So this is normal right
*
yup....the brakes are hydraulic power....thus it need engine power to pump up the brake system...
the hardness youre experiencing is how the brake act without hydraulic power...good to know and get the feel in case youre losing brake power (example : engine died while moving)


QUOTE(siowmage @ Dec 3 2015, 12:06 AM)
Belum sebulan, 3 rattling sound appeared.. 2 from dashboard near HU and Passenger Airbag area and 1 in driver's door...
temporarily workaround is on my radio louder  biggrin.gif

One fine day I open the bonet to check water and notice the spare tank cover isn't tap on... try to close it back but damn difficult to tighten it with that snap.. super cheapo plastic..  doh.gif

speaking about radio, I tot my 1.3 std radio sound damn bad, totally no bass.. I have to max the bass and lowered treble to max to get a decent sound.. but when setting the volume louder, only then the bass kick in which sound pretty ok... conclusion is the radio isn't that bad anyway, just need to know how to get around with it..

oh by the way did I mentioned i broke smth under the rear passenger seat ? that 2 pully and some white plastic on day 1 itself when trying to remove the plastic cover... again another cheapo plastic.. tongue.gif
*
yup...the radio need to be around 16-18 volume the get the 'bass' (1.3 std)....and losing it again over 20....
