my persona got this same issue too, its like her "period" time, one month sure got 1 time or few time crank longer than usual to start the engine

After 6 months of using the Iriz, here are my top 3 complaints. These are just personal picks. I previously drive local Proton and Perodua cars, so it's safe to say that the comparisons are based on cars of the same price range. Don't get me wrong, it's still one of the best cars for the price, but some gripes makes me questions the design team.

Wipers are annoying AF. If you set to normal continuous wipe, it tries to be intelligent by increasing the interval when your car is stopped. I get it. The design team wants to be cool with wiper preservation methods. It made me wonder if they ever tested this method while it's raining during traffic jam. Can only see the glowing tail lights of the car infront. And don't get me started when you wanna cross a t-junction during rain. Maybe there's a button to disable it, I didn't explore.

Second would be the central lock. The most dangerous design flaw. And I did check with Proton, it was designed that way. In normal central lock situations, backseat passengers cannot open the doors once the central lock kicks in. For Iriz, if the passenger pulled the handle once, central lock for that door is released. Pull it again and it opens. They say it's for emergency. Last week, my child was able to open the door twice. Maybe they design it as solely central lock in mind, not safety lock.

Ok, let's get into something common. Fuel consumption. They marketed VVT as fuel efficient. The lowest I've clocked is 4.3L/100km. Not bad. However, this is only possible at 3:00am. During rush hour, expect an average of 8L/100km. I'm staying in the old parts of Cheras, can say the Iriz is not built for that area. Old Cheras areas consist of slopes, humps and jam. I did clocked 11L/100km before. VVT engines are a torture during traffic jam and slopes.

I drove an old oil burning 2.4l camry for years before getting a new iriz this year. Iriz is just slightly more fuel efficient in city drive. I dont think it can come close to my old camry if I want to drive long distance. The fuel consumption meter is a joke. Yesterday it showed 19km/l (yes, i avoid traffic jam at all cost and drive like a snail), turned out to be 13km/l after doing manual calculation. Gosh, I missed my camry so much

The mechanical tech probably would be about the same era... Rmb Campro started late 90s... Safety and body build would be a bit better than the Camry I would think

I'm gonna say goodbye to my Iriz after serving me for 9 years.

Hopefully I can get a good price at Carsome.

They offered RM9000. 

I reject, will to go Carro tomorrow.

All the rumours about the CVT, won't ever recover...look at how Honda City & Jazz with CVT, also no value...

195-55-15 i use maxxis ipro in another vehicle (not proton) must pump 245kpa.
else losing comfort & grip
