Again simplify the situation, go sit by a busy roadside cafe & you will see the truth of your counting & seeing. Otherwise, we are happy for you of making up your mind of getting a new Iriz, congrats!

huh? dont know whats your problem

people asking about opinions and real talk, you giving some mythical hearsay arguments. or bringing up some proton issues from 20 years ago. i bet you're one of those who still harp about the power windows of proton.
im giving my experiences as a current Iriz owner. and speaking as one, i'm fairly satisfied with the Iriz. and im looking to see if the new Myvi could give me or fit the same requirements barring some give and take of both brands (e.g p1 drives better, but p2 has better fc)

if got nothing to contribute then just keep quiet.

Myvi is using 'FULLY SYNTHETIC' while Iriz is using 'SEMI SYNTHETIC..

The price different for that costs about Rm60+

So Yeah!!

ahh okay that explains it then.
but im surprised to see for 20k and 30k, still got quite a lot of additional servicing items that needs to be changed other than the basic engine oil and oil filter.
e.g for 20k service, myvi need to change brake fluid? << so fast meh?
then myvi air filter is 60 bucks? my iriz air filter 16 ringgit only. why is it so much higher for the myvi?

edit:

so upon further inspection, myvi need change bruke fluid every 20k km while iriz changes every 40k km.
while myvi air filter costs 60 bucks while iriz is 16 bucks. both changes every 20k km as well.
another one, spark plugs cost 220 ringgit for myvi while iriz costs 51 ringgit? wtf?

and for 40k km service
myvi cost = 506.22 source = http://www.perodua.com.my/service-maintena...wmyvi-1500cc/40
iriz cost = 266.79 source = http://helios.apdsecureapp.com/proton/serv...vice%20Menu.pdf

for 50k km service
myvi cost = 484.31 source = http://www.perodua.com.my/service-maintena...wmyvi-1500cc/51
iriz cost = 192.01 source = http://helios.apdsecureapp.com/proton/serv...vice%20Menu.pdf

the iriz's first major service comes at 60k km, and that also is only rm708.
and myvi's 60k km service costs 415.41

so this is an honest question. how is myvi supposedly the cheaper car to maintain since people always say p2 maintenance very cheap compared to p1, etc.

1) for the 3rd gen myvi, to be honest i could say it doesnt loose out iriz that much due to the lengthen wheelbase.

2) related to the point above, the 3rd gen myvi can be driven at that speed comfortable. Going out station can cruise at 160-180 comfortably as well, all thanks to their revised steering which is heavier.

3) experience from my first myvi, not much issue except for the usual rattling, just service and go.

What i disliked:
1) 13-15km/l which is pretty good

2) tbh, similar built quality

3) i guess you’ve figured out.

Sorry to say but I haven't seen any new car number plates with Iriz on the roads nowadays

Mostly all Myvi, City and Bezza

If u think Iriz is superior, pls get another Iriz then

Also I don't think you'll be able to wait 4 - 6 months for a new Myvi

The sales volume speak wonders which car is superior

Proton was my first car when I got my license. From then onwards, I promised myself never to go near a Proton car no matter how good it is. Note to self

SAVAGE!!

I am on a 1.3 & I would like to say the 1.3 variants are pretty good for town drives or your 2nd or 3rd addon. However, if you need a better powerband range on highway cruising then of course, the 1.5 variants will do you much justice over the 1.3.

End saying, as a "smart" national car buyer category either the Perodua 1.3 or 1.5 variants is a "smart" choice to indulge in

err is it so hard to have a civil discussion about pros and cons of a product especially on a forum?
whats the point of this whole thread then? just to be fanboys?

i got kutuk2 your beloved myvi? i'm asking LEGIT and REAL questions. i'm asking OWNER'S experiences, but what i got was just blank replies or just direct attacking for even daring to ask if their beloved myvi has any cons or problems.. (apart from a few of you who have replied me or even pm me about the stuffs i was asking about, thanks for giving me more insight and personal experiences with the car).

tanya sikit2 get hostile replies. ada pulak yang savage savage. what's so savage? it makes you (not you) sound like some 5 year old kid.

you know what's more sia sui? upon reading and searching the V1 and V2 threads for some information i was looking for, the same smart asses who replied like that were complaining they got issues with their car. Then got the nerve to answer me as if their god beloved car is super the best and can go no wrong.

anyway can somebody actually answer me this?
looking at that, how is the p1 repair bills going to scare the shit out of me? more like the opposite.

inb4 someone calls me a proton fanboy.

I've owned and driven (in order)
1) Myvi 1.5 lagi best (handed down to me from my older brother)
2) Iriz 1.3 (my own personal car, brother sold off the myvi 1.5)

so now since my younger brother needs a car, im handing down my Iriz to him.
and im not interested in spending >60k for a car. so im back to either Iriz or Myvi.

So if you have any good perodua SA to recommend, please do so.

I will go for a test drive myself and consider the offers between the iriz or this.

out of the box, the myvi seems good on paper vs the iriz.

but speaking from my own personal experiences of owning the iriz, and upon researching stuffs online from owner's review of both cars.
what i can say is:
places where the myvi > iriz
- fuel consumption
- nicer looks (in my opinion)
- led lights
- a full alloy rim spare tyre is very good.
- tng card reader
- modern AC controller, memory function is genius.
- cabin space
- eco idle if that's your thing.
- ASA is a gimmick, but sure its nicer to have it than not have it.

places where the iriz > myvi
- ride and handling
- spirited driving (as in taking corners confidently, if cucuk belakang of course myvi win)
driving at above speed limits, the iriz is still better planted to the road and is more solid because its simple. iriz is 200kgs heavier.

I would like to comment, there are actually MANY refinement stuffs that Iriz does way better than Myvi. These stuff do not appear obvious, so as an owner of Iriz im listing it out here because these are stuffs i would need to consider losing out when or if i switch over to the new myvi.
comparing 1.5 AV Myvi vs 1.6 Premium Iriz
- DRL lights
- auto-fold side mirrors
- boot lamp (seriously myvi dont have this basic thing?)
- drive side vanity mirrors
- Hill Hold Assist functionality (where if you're driving up a slope, if you press brake once, when you release the brake, the car will continue braking for you until you press the accelerator paddle, this is very neat because it stops the car from rolling back especially when you want to accelerate after braking < i tried searching but i cant seem to find it available for Myvi, only found hill START assist. idk if its the same thing.
- auto car door lock after driving
- auto rear-wiper, when your wipers are turned ON, and you engage Reverse gear, the back wipers will automatically turn on.
- when you unlock your car, the first light turns on itself and the cabin light turns on as well without opening the door yet, very good if you are in dark places. same thing when you double lock your car the small light turns on itself and goes away after 30 seconds. < different from follow me home lamp which i believe both cars have because its a manual function where you need to turn on the lights manually before getting out of the car.

^- these are just stuffs i can think right off the top of my head. If got anything missing or im wrong about something feel free to correct me.

Hi there! Myvi AV 2018 user here,


- DRL lights - (Yup, myvi gen3 does not have it)

- auto-fold side mirrors / auto car door lock - (Does not have it as well, Rm150 to install it)

- boot lamp - (Who said myvi does not have a boot lamp huh? i've even change mine to LED)

- drive side vanity mirrors - (Nop, myvi does not have it)

- Hill Hold Assist functionality - (Myvi definitely has this function)

- auto rear-wiper, when your wipers are turned ON, and you engage Reverse gear, the back wipers will automatically turn on. - (Myvi has this function as well)

- when you unlock your car, the first light turns on itself and the cabin light turns on as well without opening the door yet, very good if you are in dark places. same thing when you double lock your car the small light turns on itself and goes away after 30 seconds. < different from follow me home lamp which i believe both cars have because its a manual function where you need to turn on the lights manually before getting out of the car. - (Myvi has this function as well)


From what i've observed, modern cars are using Shark-fin type of antenna or even built-in glass antenna.
Why is Proton car's antenna still so damn long like RC car?

Bro LordDenning, thanks for your contribution. I'm checking out the myvi, iriz and picanto as well. Still thinking.

Don't compare this 2 car lor..my wifey drive new myvi and me own iriz 1.6mt..pro con..

Sifu all, can guide me where to install front foglamp & rear spoiler with reasonable price for my 1.3 in klang valley? Anyone 1.3 has done these 2 addon, can show me picture?

Hi there, thanks for your input. Im glad to be corrected.

The things i mention are just stuff i had in iriz but couldnt seem to find in the reviews. Its good to know that they have it in myvi as well.

So as is stands from what i listed, its just the drl, auto fold and driver side mirrors that are missing from the myvi.

As for the antenna well the 1.6 models all use short antenna like old myvi. As for shark fin design well iriz is a 2014 car. Havent undergo any facelift or anything yet so.. and i agree the long antenna is fugly

Too young too dumb.. Not sure why I rushed to get the new Myvi 2018
switched from Myvi Ezi

Priced at RM55k.. poor interior installation causing rattling issue hardly can be fixed
This price point is pretty premium.. too young too dumb..

Regretsssss

And I found out my car have this weird problem where when I go over unequal road or pothole, the (not sure what the term called) the tiang of 2 tires is vibrating. It sounds like the thing is not fitted properly or locked tightly

Does it sound something like "klok klok klok"?

my 1st gen myvi used to make this sound, it was something loose on the top of absorber (can see when you open engine hood), cannot remember what exatcly but it cost me around 60-80 to replace

I have the first gen myvi that makes that sound over bumpy roads...due to disc caliper issue...thank God latest gen3 don't have...

So i just got back from test driving the 1.5 Advance model

First let me talk about the things I liked:
1) the 1.5 engine is good. its plenty powerful. BUT the acceleration is NOT good.
2) the aircond control looks and the way it work - BUT its annoying because there's not a 1 button to turn off AC, you must manually press the lower temperature button till it reaches Off. so if you go up till 5 and above, then you have to click click click click click then only AC is off. can foresee it will be mighty annoying having to do that everytime you get out of the car.
3) built in smart tag.
4) the looks really is nice. i saw white and silver and black. if i were to get one, i cant even decide. I like the black one a lot, but sometimes see white looks nice pulak, then see silver also looks nice.
5) spare tyre is a full alloy rim, and with that in mind, the rear is still really spacious lol. the legroom is big.
6) the back seat you can recline.

ok now to the part where i absolutely did not like, some are borderline hate:
1) the build quality. like seriously.

-the handbrake lever is so fricking short? and also so plasticky and hollow feeling, like a toy. holding it with grip could give you the impression if you were to grip any tighter you would break it.

-same goes to the transmission stick. its so hard to see whether you shifted to N or D, no way to tell so must look from the info cluster panel in front to be sure.. why the hell they decided to cover the stick up with some saggy leather looking thing.

-wiper and signal stalks. enough said. its straight trash. looks cheap while the dashboard and steering looks decently good already. makes it really stand out and look so out of place. it is cheap looking and cheap feeling when you hold it. and on that note, they still use that black stick on the speedometer to reset trips and stuff. that is so 1980. you cant reset it from your signal stalks unlike the iriz or many other cars?

2) the chair is not nice. compared to my Iriz at least. < my biggest gripe.
yes its semi bucket seat, but it doesn't have enough cushion for side and thigh supports. not only that, the seats are rather "flat", its not designed to follow our body texture and position when sitting, unlike the one in iriz where it follows our body contour nicely.
just to tell you why i feel this one the most, i give u a non exaggerating comparison, when im stuck in a jam in the Iriz, i wont rage. cause at least the seat is comfortable to sit on. I can play phone and listen to songs peacefully still.
this one if i stuck in jam i conlanfirm will rage, cause i will rather get out of the car ASAP than continue stuck sitting in that sit for long periods. same goes to long distance travelling..

and then right, the seats are rather thin? or hollow? not sure how to describe it accurately, but i could feel like the frame of the chairs already.
no seriously. iriz seats are something i take for granted every day.

3) the acceleration. it has a good 1.5 engine. but the 4AT doesnt do it justice. idk why the acceleration feels very reluctant or slow? i tried to overtake cars just now, and its just... well quite disappointing.
but once the acceleration part is over, then suddenly you get a surge of power coming to you. but you no longer need it. so you have to brake instead. < if in highway sure not a problem, but in city driving acceleration is rather slow or bad then suddenly so much power from the 1.5 engine comes in later.

4) the central locking. my fucking god. when i press the internal lock button for the first time i thought someone threw stones at the car. what in the actual fuck was that? why is it so loud? and its the SNAPPY SNAP kind of loud.. like someone braking your bones kind of snap sound it makes.. just WHY???

anyway, if i go myvi i will thoroughly miss my iriz auto lock and unlock as well. auto lock when the car goes above 30km/h. auto unlock when you pull the door lever just like continentals.
and i found out you cant lock/unlock the doors from the door lever side as well. have to use the friggin button all the time at the center.

this along with all the other buttons you have the press in the car.. lets play a game of how many times you have to press buttons before you can drive..
1) engine start stop (okay this one is unfair but lets just put in for the LOL)
2) eco idle off
3) side mirrors unfold
4) air cond. what fan speed you like? 4 or 5? so click click click click.
5) lock the car.

oh wait, you forgot to take something, so unlock the car with a bone snapping sound. oh wait your gf complain radio too loud, so press some more buttons. <okay thats a joke but you get my point. seriously a lot of buttons to press lor.

anyway, thats what i feel at least..
so those are my main impressions after driving it. took it for a real test drive, was like an hour long with the SA. i went to city roads with potholes, i went highway did 4~5k rpm. i did everything la basically, even tried the eco idle and ASA. i also did door testing many times. the stuff i didnt comment on i guess its comparably as good as the Iriz like door closing "thunk" sound, etc.

while talking to SA just now when i test drive, i ask him any problems from your previous customers? any complaints?

he said majority of them come back to complaint to him about rattling rattling sounds.

so yeah idk im also worried to take it if it has such poor build quality.

the test drive car i drove was solid though. everything was flustered, not a single rattling sound.
