I owned a 2015 Iriz 1.6 Premium, bought 2nd hand 2 years ago. Used to rent Socar last time cz got coupon voucher, so end up with Toyota Altis, Toyota Vios which both with CVT. The issue with Punch CVT by proton, they used clutch based, it just jerking to the max especially start stop go and that is too annoying especially at bumper to bumper jam. That is none for Toyota/ Honda or all other brand CVT, which used torque converter + cvt. It makes the drive go much linear and direct, eventhough it doesn't sound great like normal auto, it reduces the Highway speed crusing rpm, which can get around 2.1-2.2k rpm at 120kmh, thanks to cvt.

But the Punch CVT make the car hit 3k rpm at 120kmh. Which is no different compared to old 4 gear auto. To me among all cvt brand outside, the Punch CVT is the lowest among others.

For sure they said got new TCU tuning, etc2 for new Iriz, Persona, be it at that hardware offered, doubt it improve greatly.

On reliability, from my own judgement, it less reliable vs normal torque converter auto gear. Saw plenty of owner claim CVT gb for Honda HRV, City and also with Nissan Jatco CVT. Last time few of my office mate had to faced hassle on claiming CVT gb for Preve CFE, it takes time. And most of them letgo theirs after got a new gb. Surprisingly only happen tp CFE version.

Thank you so much for the insightful explanations.
Can we say that a Yaris CVT is slightly more problematic than torque converter autotransmissions but much better than HRV City CVT and Jatco CVT?

So disappointed with the Active…so many years on, yet couldn’t put the concept into production…

Anyone wants to sell your 2017 proton iriz 1.3 manual? The updated version. Pm me if you do ty.

When should we change the timing belt?

can change earlier for extra precaution

Oh thanks, didn't know it's written in the manual.

Hi everyone.
I'm using Iriz 2019. Lately this gear console is rattling and it's starting to annoy me. Anyone have this problems and have diy solutions to this?

My suspect is the glossy black plastic because when I press it down, it stops rattling.

been open before? If yes, try open it back and have a look.

Just bring to SC and ask them to look into it. Probably they will add some form of padding to stop it from rattling.

Yup i opened before and tried to do something about that rattle. But I did not manage to remove that black plastic. I only found 4 clips holding it but i think there's something else as well. Will look again

Will they entertain me if i had opened it before?

Don't mention it. For older Iriz, we have this IP kit(iinm thats the name) to reduce sounds from the dashboard area. Its free. Just go in and tell them ur plastic trim at the gear is rattling at what conditions.

Alright. Thank you

Hi guys, I just noticed the wind from my ac suddenly became weak. I hear the wind noise when I switch from speed 1-4 but the wind coming out from the blower is just very little.

Anyone know what’s wrong?

Blower fan motor k.o. Happened to my other car as well. Your car how many years already?

Ohno…mine is from 2017.

But when I change the air intake to the one that bring in exterior air then the wind will be strong. Once I changed it back to internal circulation then the wind will be soft again. 🥲

Did you replace cabin air filter before?

Hmm i think i replaced once at proton last time when i told them the exterior air is coming into the cabin.

should be 2/3years ago. lol.

May i know how long the filter last?

For me every 2 service change once, you can buy it online and change yourself. Try to remove filter first and turn on aircon, see if have any difference. If no means ur blower kong ady.
