Thinking of getting a new ride.
Priority
1.Comfort and NVH
2.Performance
3.Interior Design
4.Resale

With the latest Iriz launched and price is very attractive compare with Myvi. Read a lot from lowyat and most complain Myvi is Milo tin Can but I believe it's more or less with Iriz ..

before Myvi.
now Iriz..

LOL. You're looking for brand name or the price?

If u are looking for resale, definitely myvi.

Ex-iriz owner, also tested the myvi. Avoid both unless you have tons of annual leave to visit SC for defects rectification. Personally I'll go for Bezza.

My maivi no problem also? 9 years d nothing major, minor also very rare.
Just normally go change engine oil.

Iriz FL of course!

MyVi lacks the refinement and definitely looks and feels cheap on the inside, though the top spec does have good safety features...

Better go test drive both on the same day...you'll then know which to go for..

New iriz macam gooding

The new myvi. Try test it, build quality really bad compared to old myvi.

where to vote?

where to get brand new year 2000 Myvi now?

Iriz of cause. FL priced lower, added features and improved nvh.

Complains on the new myvi are popping up from owners. Poor nvh, rattling fest inside and the chrome centre air cond garnish will blind the driver under sunlight...myvi QC down the drain.

Test drive both to compare.

MYVI uses the new gearbox that has lag in response. say good bye to powerful accelaration!

All these Campro engines and Punch CVT gearboxes(go ask a few mechanics, the answer is there) are just waiting (hoping) for stock clearance the sooner the better for the company.

+10000 likes, think again TS there is reason while potong sales drop previously

Your last paragraph "Read a lot from lowyat and most complain Myvi is Milo tin Can but I believe it's more or less with Iriz .." is will draw a lot of spanner and disagreement thrown at you

try crashing a IRIZ with MYVI and see who is the real loser.
HPF vs MYVI. It ain't more or less the same as MYVI.

go search around photos of real crashes, namely Persona, and Preve, Iriz.
and while you are at it, you can check out this latest photo of MYVI crash

(Airbag included but no ASA. Driver still died with airbag apparently)

The rest of the item 1-4, I'll leave it to you to decide.

Buying a car is not all about HFF vs MYVi, bro. Is is the overall ownership experience that makes a car safe. If a car with unreliable drive train, gearbox and plagued with quality issues, what will be the emotion state of the owner ? If HPF is so good above everything and anything else, why this manufacturer failed big time, draining Billions of RM ? Why MYVi alone sold more than a Millionth units ? These owners don't value their lives ?

its 50/50 choice..both has pros n cons..better test drive first both unit..buy the one that suit to you more..dont follow what others think..its your money not them..
1 and 3 for iriz
2 and 4 for myvi

old myvi is the real king car.

I don't know whether to laugh or to be astounded by your comments.

It seems like you saying "Safety is not number one priority" hence HPF not important .
When typical Malaysians are chasing about safety related issues such how many airbags , ESC,EBA, ABC , DEF, must have 100 airbags and not just 2 air bags, etc. (I made that up, no pun intended) , you say "Car reliability makes a car safer" .
I really dont know where you come from this conclusion.

The moment you start saying "If HPF is so good above everything and anything else, why this manufacturer failed big time, draining Billions of RM ? " - Goes to show how primitive and partial political mindset and you. Typical anti - Proton basher.
Dont start with the old granny "20 yrs already and Proton still makes no improvement" sentence.

We are talking about safety as what TS earlier pointed out and here you are spitting with mixed, nonconstructive conclusions .

Its OK, you can continue staying back in your cave. I rest my case here. Period.

And oh BTW, FYI. I own both Proton AND Perodua cars. Each car has its pros and cons.
And I love both of them.

K? KthxBye.

Did I ever even say safety is not important ? Yeah, go ahead with your ranting about HPF. The truth is out there and don't you come here and talk about improvement. What improvement with Billion Ringgit gone ?

Am driving the current Myvi G3 now for more than 1yr now, no whatsoever problems but mine is a manual

All I can say is Myvi has very good RV & engine reliability all along but chassis wise we need to splurge some spending to make it better

MYVi also has 5 Star rating for crash test.

true true bro & RV in return in a long run

(bila bolih TT with your 1.5 monster? hihi)

I park my ride far far away from you, bro. No way near your potent manual drive train.

TS - seriously, you can see for yourself in between these 2 models otr that you're asking about, & that speak the volume

2 definitely Iriz especially 1.6
Maybe old Myvi will get 2, but new Eco focused engine and that slosh box transmission, nope lol

http://www.perodua.com.my/ourcars/myvi
I mean, hell they don't even BOTHER about performance.

They rather spend effort to advertise "adjustable steering" THAT ISN'T EVEN TELESCOPIC

Perodua (lol)

if only choose between 2 i will pick Iriz, but the CVT really a lack down, im driving the Preve with similar gearbox, nice when new but start showing symptom after 5 years.
Buy the iriz and change car after 5 years before anything major breakdown i think~

This post has been edited by hong3831: Apr 25 2019, 03:32 PM

Tested both. Iriz has a slightly more solid built. CVT is loud during hard acceleration compare to Myvi. Judging by the number of cars OTW, I can say Myvi is more popular and design wise better than Iriz. Price is the winning factor.. iriz is 15% lower than Myvi.
Thx for all comment.

Didn't own any. But I will seriously consider iriz with the new price. At least go test drive before decide.

I am wondering can CVT last long? will it has problems after like 5 years? and if it has problems how expensive to repair it?

Don't over revive it ok already, drive it smoothly...

That blinding chrome garnish sure as hell is annoying..

One of the reason i malas drive my friends myvi if they asked me to

The CVT at my Preve and Iriz are from same company. my car is 6 years old, clock 125k km, power and FC is still there, but it no longer smooth and became louder. Im having slipping clutch randomly with my Preve, no solution yet.

better the choose the best re-sell value. owners like those cars often upgrade to better ones

The CVTs on the NA models (Iriz, Persona, Saga) are generally reliable.

The ones on the turbo models (Preve, Suprima, Exora) is less so.

Current Myvi G3 owner.

1. Out of the question. The ride is harsh. If you go on potholes, bumps and yellow stripes with this and Iriz you will understand why Iriz is so much better. Rattling all over, complained but not solved. Now trying to DIY it. NVH is crap.

2. It's just ok for the 1.5. Gearbox is lazy and sluggish, but then Iriz CVT is also shit.

3. I like the overall design of the Myvi but the meter console of the Iriz is nice with the digital cluster. Personal preference I guess.

4. I think Myvi would have slightly better value (if the car doesn't disintegrate after 5 years).

Is it the facelifted Iriz?

Did you over-revved the Iriz? Just give it enough where the rpm is at 2k, any more is basically wasted petrol...

Also, was it the latest Iriz FL you tested?

1. Depends on how you take care the gb.
2. Repair around RM4k, Swap with new refurbish gb RM7k, swap with new gb RM12k

holy cow, definitely more expensive to repair this than those old 4AT right.... I wonder even if we take good care of it can it last like 10 years...

Not the latest iriz.. they claim latest iriz better nvh. I am quite happy with current iriz nvh

Wait for the latest facelift and test again

Should be available earliest month end

Let's take out the Myvi 1.5 AV out of the equation and instead compare it to the 1.5H which is almost the same price as the Iriz Premium.

Creature comforts/features (Iriz vs Myvi respectively)
- Auto headlights vs LED headlights
- DRL vs no DRL
- Space saver vs full size spare
- 215l vs 277l of boot space
- Half leather vs full leather
- 3 rear headrests vs 2 rear headrests
- More thigh support vs more rear legroom
- Better seats vs More interior space
- "Hi Proton" vs Smart tag reader
- knobs vs buttons for AC controls
- Touchscreen infotainment vs basic stereo system
- 3 USB ports vs 2
- TFT vs LCD multi info display

Powertrain/Driving/FC
- 5.8l/100km vs 4.9l/100 claimed FC
- No idle start/stop vs eco idle
- CVT smoothness on the go vs 4AT smoothness from a standstill
- Better ride/handling vs better ride comfort
- Stability vs faster acceleration
- NVH

Misc
- Appearance and design
- Material quality/fit and finish
- Color options
- Packages offered
- Maintenance schedule and costs
- After sales support

This should cover all you need to compare between the two and then you can infer and make the needed compromises based on your test drive experience of these cars.

Fuel saved with myvi will be down the drain when its time for battery change. Start stop battery is much more expensive than regular ones.

Start stop is just gimmick used by company to publish better consumption figures on paper. Some owners straight turn it off upon starting engine. Useless feature.

Depends if those 4 priorities are in that particular order.

Did test drive the Myvi extensively and compared it with a Vios. In the end I bought a Kia Picanto.

Drove the Iriz recently in Langkawi, it was a rental car. Seems quite well thrashed but did not seem to fall apart, am guessing it was 2-3 years old. Quite fun to drive but a bit of an annoying car too.

1) Myvi by a small margin.
2) Iriz though not by much.
3) Both are crap.
4) Which car these days have good resale value? Over 3 years, the Myvi would hold its value better. Over 5-7 years Myvi holds its value slightly better. 7 to 9 years, neck and neck. On its 10th birthday, both will nose dive and quite possibly the Iriz would be better as there would be lesser of them about.

As for which one to choose? Test drive both back to back twice on 2 different types of roads and on the same day. Go back the next day and test drive again the one you liked best, then test drive the other one. Buy the one you enjoyed being a driver in more.

Great comparo...just to comment on the few items;

Powertrain/Driving/FC
- CVT smoothness has improved much on the Iriz FL, there's little to no lag from standstill
- Better ride/handling & comfort on the Iriz FL
- Stability & faster acceleration especially when you floor the Iriz FL, you can feel the pull
- NVH has greatly improved, way better than the new MyVi

Misc
- After sales support is still a huge problem for Proton. CoSE is not any better, while even though the 3/4Ss are better in Customer Service they keep promoting more expensive parts from their own suppliers than that of Proton (normally quotes no stock).

Now we'll see how Perodua responds (depending on the sales figures of the Iriz) when they release the new MyVI FL.

I've just recently repair my 7th gen. accord. quoted near RM4k. so actually more or less the same

7th gen accord using 4At?

5 iinm. nevertheless, still same category (auto tranny)

my take on the new myvi.

just test driven myself.

Good thing I found this thread

Am opting to get a new car if they have raya promo

same as TS, am looking at either MyVi G3 and the MC2 Iriz (I like the looks on the newest one more but of course looks aren't everything).
Looking at the MyVi 1.3 X or Iriz 1.3 Exec (Though if the people in here can convince me to jump to 1.5/1.6 variant that would be appreciated /poisoned).

Let me start with that I am a current 2005 Perodua Kancil 850 ezi user, so I am well aware with Perodua's good after sales support as I am still sending my kancil to official perodua workshops for servicing.
However, the new Iriz FL got my attention and I am leaning towards Proton for my next car. Yes I am aware of some minor differences between Proton and Perodua cars such as the turn signal and fuel port side on both brands. That is just a matter of preferences and getting used to it.

My fears before taking the jump to Proton side are the after sales support which till now I am still hearing issues with available part stocks, low quality workmanship during servicing and the overall build quality of their cars like their punch gb.

Would love to hear your input on this, thanks a bunch

This post has been edited by MichaelJohn: May 5 2019, 09:13 PM

personally, Proton is a way better car that imho is worth dealing whatever pitfalls that proton SC/after sales may have.

Myvi suspension is just absolute crap in today's standards.
go test drive one and drive over a speed bump/bad pothole and then do the same condition with a face lifted Iriz (or Persona)

then the steering, overall driving experience.
I joked with my sister during our test drive trips - Proton's "it's in the drive", they really literally meant it.

From show room, maybe after sales, everything the p2 may have an edge. but car wise, P2 doesn't even come close.
If i'm going to be paying much cash over a period of few years and interests as well, i might as well buy something i actually enjoy to drive.
P2 is never going to give me that in its current form.

Thank for your input

Sadly, I've already went to 5 Proton dealers here in N9 today and none of them have the Iriz available for test drive, I'll have to hold on to your opinion for now.

Test drove both new myvi and iriz mc b4 this facelift. Both from socar, both with 1.3 version.

Both event taken from kajang to mitsui outlet n back, with using socar fuel card.

Drive with heavy foot with most using highway. Surprisingly the iriz takes much higher fuel consumption vs myvi. Iriz at 10.5km/l while myvi at 12.4km/l which both from the meter

Most if not all of your worries like low quality workmanship during servicing and the overall build quality of their cars like their punch gb have been addressed since the company became BaoTeng. The issues with available part stocks, normally only on those before Wira time or for the imported X70. I've owned the Gen2 for 10 years and have never had problems with parts (but Proton Parts Centre is accessible to me, so maybe it's a factor).

There's a lot to improve in terms of after sales on Proton's part. Mainly the attitude and the long wait/efficiency/dedication.

Since you've been a loyal Perodua customer for some time, I believe you already build that relationship with the SC you're visiting. The MyVi looks like a more satisfying overall ownership experience for you.

Though the iRiz FL appears to be a more matured & refined car compared to the MyVi, but the MyVi should be good enough to satisfy your needs and maybe even impress you since you're coming from the Kancil.

As someone who've had both Protons and Perodua in the family, I assure you both also abang adik regarding your particular concerns.

And if that variable is out of the way, I'd rather get a much better car

Parents with babies might want to know Iriz has a small boot, sekali masuk stroller that's it, you will need to put your stuffs elsewhere. New Myvi boot has quite a bit more space for other junk.

Even Axia has bigger boot than Iriz.

This post has been edited by dares: May 8 2019, 06:00 PM

New generation Myvi sucks. Feels cheap with the cheap plastic interior.

I think if the stroller is foldable should be ok

Then there's also foldable seats.

But if heavy shopping and/or many kids or maybe boot already have junk, then could be hard

But I think with the facelift, Iriz Target audience shouldn't be towards parents.

Family car should be the Persona

My Fiesta boot bigger than both cars also just enough space for foldable stroller lol. Fold down rear seats Liao where to put baby seat cukur I got another sedan for baby duties.

Just FYI for those looking at either cars and planning to start a family soon.

Too bad none of the test drive model for Iriz is available for my local dealers here in Negeri Sembilan, even went through Melaka and received the same answer. Guess I'll be making a booking for the MyVi.

Thanks for the input

I have tested drive the Iriz MC2 at Giant Klang last week. They have Iriz 1.6 Exe available for test drive.

any feedback for the so called updated CVT software?
really good or just meh?

Overall my test-driving experience was better than third generation myvi I would say, after comparing with my friend’s 1.5H myvi.
I was surprised that the iriz’s throttle response was instant and smooth when overtaking.
Cabin was quiet that I hardly can notice when I already exceed 100km/h.
Handle was better and less bumpy compared to myvi.

However, there was still slight CVT delay only when start to move from stationary.

**MyVi chrome centre air cond garnish will blind the driver under sunlight**

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
+ A/C is still cold as ever when I test drove it in the scorching noon
- 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).

This post has been edited by MichaelJohn: May 12 2019, 09:09 AM

do iriz has same interior space as myvi or axia?

Nope, Myvi and Axia has better interior space management than Iriz but at the cost of insulation for NVH

Hi guys, compare between this 2 which is more durable and lower maintenance cost or both maintenance are almost the same? Let's say plan to own it for 7-10years

I would say myvi cheaper as the cvt service plan on 60k from sc can consider major service.

Around rm750 on 60k km, rm650 on 110km - timing belt, rm900 on 120k km.

Thanks for the info bro, how about for the normal service (engine oil, gear oil and etc...)?

average about rm300.
u can check proton website online for details price service.

it just the cvt do cost higher vs myvi 4at gb in term of servicing.

Hi, since now it become sharing 2 brand company experience, here what I am going to share. First I am a Proton Persona owner, used around a year+. Proton Product are Great than what you expected BUT here come the frustrating of owner proton car, They after sales service are SUCK BIG TIME. My car used almost a year transmission got problem and they claim is normal and don't give a damn on me. I tried to went few SC which is first party one, some is my car left there 4 day and told me where got sound ? where is the problem? even through I record the video sent it. The end I have to GO KL HQ complaint and issue the fix but then I have to went to KL 3 time to fixed it but till now still got issue, after replaced the new transmission.....

annnnddd guesss what, When I tried to contact proton care line to issue the bad service experience from my state which is they main branch for the state, told me to write email, here can't. ok then I wrote a mail to they, the end is after 2 week, they don't even try to give me a reply whatsoever.

so the end, I would said after sales service are served as one of the big considering to purchase the car, is about reliable for the car having trouble and they will fully commit to help you solved the problem and the service toward to customer

Thought I would do a comparison for the maintenance cost for both car models up till 100,000 KM (as Perodua doesn't state the maintenance cost for MyVi above 100,000 KM)

Since both Iriz and MyVi 1.3 has the same transmission respectively, maintenance cost should be roughly the same as well (if not same)

*Note: Price for MyVi does not include the optional preventive service maintenance (tyre allignment, air cond service and etc)



Iriz 100,000 to 150,000 KM

I got the new Iriz last week and the water dropping on my feet from the dashboard and rusty part found...ofcoz, weird sound from dashboard and backseat, too...
