About to be Iriz owner here. Did a random visit to a showroom today, felt comfortable with the price and performance, then straight away made a booking. Took the 1.6L mid variant dark grey one and planned to modify the exterior once it arrives. Will be searching the forum and online for stuff like body kit, aero kit, outlines, spoilers, etc.

Anyone know of any shop who has a wide selection of Iriz stickers/stripes to choose and does installation too? I know online has lots of design, but no installation. Those ads on FB is like doing wrap instead

Got my Iriz today. Surprised that the whole process of booking, loan approval and car delivery took less than 2 weeks.
Now sending to shop for tinting and wrap.

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.
