Oh man white colour on the new Iriz is freaking dope.

still prefer old bunga raya rim..

anyway, tall boxy chassis is outdated already.

last time we always laugh at myvi even we had similar design because we had way better ride and handling where we can drive better and not turtle as easily..

but these days, the tall design really tak boleh pakai dy. suddenly makes iriz and this new facelift iriz look so so so outdated.

edit: im glad i went for myvi 2019 then.. before this i was deciding to get a 2nd car and it was between get back an iriz or go for new myvi. i was seriously considering waiting for this 2019 iriz but then i decided to just give new myvi a try instead..

Design is subjective, I agree Myvi is a better looking car.

But my money is on the new Iriz, It is overall a better car, way better.

Hello. Im using iriz 1.6 2014, today suddently the cvt gearbox going from N to D feel very tight. Need to force it baru masuk gear.

Going from P to R and N feel ok, it just that going from N to D feel very tight. Anyone know the problem?

how so?

reflectors instead of projectors. same like persona.

and for me the older rim had a personality rather than this dull albeit sportier looking one.

speaking on looks, the older iriz was much cleaner looking exterior and interior wise. just take a look at the back of this new iriz, the fake vents and stuffs...
and also i really hate all these "martini racing stripes" decals they put on their seats. like so pointless and unnecessary. bajet what? bajet cool?
and new fl iriz doesnt have full leather seats anymore, its a combo of fabric + leather.

non-premium variant still only 2 airbags even myvi beats it already by offering 4 as standard.

engine refinement no need say. after owning new myvi for 1 month+ now, i realized what kind of fc ive been missing out on..
my standard daily jam route, my iriz fc was giving me 9~10km/l for 100% city driving, and 100% highway was around 14km/l. meanwhile this myvi gets me 13~14km/l for 100%city driving and about 17km/l for 100% highway..
and the iriz was 1.3, smaller engine but fc way higher. even my bro driving e250 with its massive cc engine gets similar fc as a 1.3 iriz. which is a joke.

there only few things that i still rate the new fl iriz over the new myvi:
- hpf steel usage. so safety in real world crash i trust the iriz more
- ride and handling, chassis rigidity.
- the seats. all of them. full body and thigh support even for rear is very good.

the rest, all lose to the new myvi which speaks how technologically lacking or old the iriz is already..
new myvi gives ASA, built-in smart tag, full size spare tyre, big space cabin (well at the cost of comfy seats like Iriz).

overall a way better car if you compare to past Iriz i agree lah. with new myvi is a nope from me.
unless you count the "hi proton" infotainment as a massive worthy upgrade lol.

and also still using campro + punch cvt, which is the very reason why Iriz is not doing as well as it should.
No matter how many iterations and smoothing out process it has gone through, people hear punch cvt and campro only they will try their best to steer clear of it..

just my 2 cents, speaking from my experiences as an owner of 1.3 Exec iriz and 1.5 adv myvi..

See the review, the cvt drowning sounds still there. Basically the same punch unit.

Proton still no ball to drop that brand/model all together from new 2019 model.

the rear bumper of MC2 damn fugly.

however front bumper looks ok, hope can see black color MC2 on the road, so can compare looks with my black iriz.

I find the new MyVi lacked refinement. I thought it was bad enough in the 2014 Iriz when compared to my Gen2 but a ride in my colleague's new MyVi to Rawang and back to PJ really puts things in perspective.

So I guess, MyVi vs Iriz is really like heaven vs hell...both are complete opposites of each other...

Does sound proof works to cut down wind noise?

I believe all Iriz has loud wind noise when drive above 100km/h.

+1, love to read more about this from someone.

Petronas Syntium 3000

but i just learned that semi syn also can tahan 10k km, and i seldom travel long distance, so may be Petronas Syntium 800 is enough?

proton keep playing safe for themself rather than total facelift the whole iriz. what they should do

1)use geely CVT
2)increase the width like persona size or make the roof lower (the first choice is much more cheaper)
3)change the position for rear lamp from vertical to horizontal like EMAS concept
4)better use geely engine (although geely engine also drain petrol, but it has better HP and torque)

and last and not least make it 4 airbag for standard and executive variant

this is what customer want, not MC2 MC3 until it died like savvy did. remember, nissan almera also the same thing with few changes thus only nissan fan will bought that car.

After Geely acquisition of proton, proton were sending a bunch of engineers to geely other than x70 model team, ie to get better collaboration with geely engineer/team. Source from few friends there in proton.

One of the core planning was to utilize geely engine/gb combo from their pipeline. One of the plan theoretically to put in new iriz/persona etc.

Looking at their planned, it is surprised that the new iriz only gain the speedometer & new hu (with geely collaboration, the speedometer are available on other geely model). See the new iriz, the rest enhancement on this facelift by right, proton can do it by own, only cosmetic on exterior.

Weird proton management still trust the campro vvt with punch cvt combo when most user give bad reviews on that combo.

Geely also uses punch CVT

Reminds me of my proton saga LMST. (Lotus Meter Saga Trim) Which only the speedometer change bearing the LOTUS name and collaboration lol .

Maybe they are still utilizing the vvt+punch CVT with a different tuning because they are planning to phase out the current Iriz in a year or two and they don't want to invest too much on an aging vehicle in the lineup.

Guys, us there a safe way to strip house paint on a car?

Last week got a small lorry getting a paint job. Owner which i dunno who paint it at the car park. My house parking are free park. The last weekend i realize my car got few splash of white paint. I thought its bird poo. Now i dunno who the culprit and the lorry is no where to be found.

Now i really mad but things already happened. I need to fix this but the only way that i know is by using 1000 sand paper. Should be fine but certainly will damage the clear coat. Anyone can suggest me good scratch remover? Or other methods to solve this?

Many thanks in advance

Doubt there will be iriz 2.0. Considering the geely effect. By right proton can make it a go for 2019 iriz in case want to make the model relevant in our market. By getting a better gb engine combo from geely store for example.

Since the current campro based engine even with vvt did not get good fc. And the punch cvt

This slide from last year looks to be pretty accurate about their new model lineup. First being the X70, this year X50 and 2020 being a MPV. Seems like Iriz 2.0 is in their launch plans in 2021.



A new engine+GB combo is just one part in making it competitive with Myvi. They also have to consider space, practicality and feature set which the current Iriz is behind compared with the 3rd gen Myvi. So an all new model would be necessary if they want to catch those volume sales that P2 enjoyed for so long.
