Hi All,

I just want to make a poll and find out how is the quality of the new Iriz
Is it good? Improved from old model days? or just plain bad

Thanks

i'm using wira 1.3 aeroback 1998-2005, gen 2 in 2005-2011 n iriz since feb 2015

iriz way much better.. so far no problem.. cross finger though huhuhuh

i dun have iriz.

but i've bought

wira (noisy)
savvy (electrical from renault engine)
persona (power window back left spoilt 1)
Inspira (clutch bearing noisy. have to replace)

Besides the wira which broke down once (my fault), none of the other cars have broken down or have had any serious problems worst thn mentioned above.

But don't expect fuel efficiency from their cars or cheap maintenance.

true on the fuel efficiency

unless u able to drive below 80km/h

i'm comparing with my altis 1.8

proton maintenance not cheap meh...

Iriz scheduled service every 10k km or 6 months whichever come first, can use mineral all the way to fully syn, doesnt matter.

If proton's maintainence isn't cheap compared to other available brands, what else can be considered as cheap ?

You better ask this question in Iriz thread.
No point open the thread here as you unlikely will get honest answer. Mostly from non Iriz owner.

Bought the car on launch day. Full spec. So far, no major problem. Only the outside roof side plastic came off. Other than that its good. Ohh.. maybe the reverse sensor, which is known to be a problem since exora/preve. They use same vendor. It is not sensitive enough. For future model, they changed to another vendor. The head unit, people say it always hang. It will, but if you be delicate on it, and always switch off before you turn off the engine, its all good. It's a very low performance arm chip that easily heat up. Other than that, it is a brilliant car.

If you not looking for hatchback, maybe wait for the new Persona based on the Iriz platform. You'll probably get a better gearbox from Jatco. Also heard they will replacing the Iriz gearbox with Jatco, but i don't think that will happened this year. Maybe next year when the FL the Iriz.

Yes will try that too

Thanks Glad to hear that.

how bad is iriz 1.6 cvt gearbox? i know some negative review regarding the gearbox..but compared to other proton 4at gearbox?

Not that bad actually. Only on very low speed, the car will jerk. And its only happened when the engine is cold. After that, no jerk.

What other Proton 4AT gearbox?

All new Proton cars come with CVT nowadays.

The inherent effect of that damn Punch CVT gearbox is that jerking motion when slow. At normal speed say 80 - 100km/h, it is as smooth as silk.

i dont own an iriz.. but i voted no problem. hahaa let's see how the poll goes.

Not fuel efficient or not cheap to mantain.

Savvy and inspira - expensive parts
Persona - not fuel efficient

Persona still comes with 4AT gearbox, the Satria Neo was 4AT as well, just that now it isn't listed for sale on official site anymore....

Punch CVT has loud whine during operation too, maybe less in Suprima but in Saga it's obvious, in summary it just lacks a little refinement...

I own 1.3 exec..
Most of proton's problem is minor really..
Rattling noise, loose rubber strips..but still these minor things can leave very bad experience to owner..

But do i regret buying it? No..

expected bro.. iriz body is heavier..

6 months already consider long.

some within 2 weeks.

not talking about new model vs iriz. but past model..like saga blm (at) vs iriz 1.3 cvt. or maybe persona vs iriz 1.6 cvt.
