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.
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..
