Went to Chan Sow Lin to test drive the latest Iriz 1.6 premium yesterday and here’s my 20 cent on it and will compare some aspects with G3 Perodua MyVi and the previous Iriz FL (MC1). Not gonna talk about exterior cause that is personal preference.

Interior
+ The dark uniform interior looks better in person and has a nice touch to it.
+ yes the wheel knobs for the A/C feels more solid than previous version.
+ New GKUI is more responsive than previous version but has noticeable lag as well.
+ Semi-leather seats are really comfortable and you won’t slide as much when cornering
- The car signal sound is kinda annoying to hear imo (prefer the subtle sound like in Perodua cars)

Performance
+ Suspension is definitely better on Iriz and soaks up potholes/uneven roads quite nicely.
+ The updated CVT GB is more responsive however still has some delay when moving from standstill.
+ NVH is also better now but you can still hear the CVT roaring (?) during hard acceleration.
- Brakes modulation feel a bit too hard even when you light press on it (Probably my legs on this one).

How do you feel overall about the CVT? Does it feels natural and smooth now like a normal auto (other than in stop and go traffic) and is the higher rpm when cruising on highway speed (compared to honda/Toyota cvt) loud or acceptable?

oohh yeah I just read the thread it, seem proton also send to third party for alignment and balancing that why expensive.

By the way, yesterday proton sc said every 10000 km need to do alignment is it true?

Generally its recommended to do alightment every 10k km, you can even do it sooner if you drive around rough roads frequently.

Overall feel of the CVT is acceptable, not on par with a conventional AT but it’s almost there in terms of smoothness and natural. pickup is good as well when you floor it and overtake vehicles. IMO, the noise from the CVT is acceptable, not until deafening or anything. Can’t really describe it tbh.

I can’t really comment on highway conditions cause the top speed I was able to get was 80 Km/h on the test road with the rev around 2K rpm.

Okay, thanks a lot for the detailed explanations

how do you feel about the power delivery and also how's the FC? i wonder if it is a lot better than the CVT.
