I own Iriz 1.3 CVT and Myvi Gen3 1.5 4AT...
The only thing i like about my Myvi is :
1) its design
2) good interior quality design, in terms of it looking modern and polished fittings(knobs, buttons, etc) .. (excluding plastic rattlings tho..)
3) lighter body so can feel the speed of the car. but dont get it wrong.
the pickup is slow as fuck (something2 tuning to make it more fuel efficient compared to past 1.5L Myvis which are more hungry to pick up), no different from my 1.3 CVT that people selalu bising2 about Punch CVT. But honestly, this new myvi pickup is not any better.
4) SLIGHTLY better FC, say 11~12km/L on my Myvi vs 9~10km/L on my Iriz..
- but this is a moot point because the maintenance of my Myvi is so fucking expensive. my Iriz is seriously cheap when it comes to maintenance that i dont think this fuel consumption difference can even make me any happier..
The things i like about my Iriz is:
1) the seats
2) maintenance murah.
3) the chassis rigidity, pek corner with speeds and with full confidence really satisfying yo.
but this new myvi being lower can pek corner better than my iriz... yes you didnt read it wrong...
my myvi can pek corner better than my iriz, but my iriz gives me better confidence when i taking corners with speeds. you might think im contradicting myself but no.. let me explain..
My Iriz when i take corners with speeds, i can feel the steering and the chassis rigidity all coming together very well with the car and it moves boldly, you really feel like you are a driving a car.. but because its taller and with smaller tyres (14") so you can feel the nak turtle-ish feeling if you going too fast in a sharp corner.. but in long sweeping bends/corners it flows very nicely..
On the other hand, amazing how the height of a car makes a world of difference in stability.. this new myvi langsung tarak turtle-ish feeling when you drive fast2 in corners... Which makes for a lot of damn good fun yo! Amazing how just being lower and having bigger tyres (15") help it improves so much..
But what lets it down is the myvi chassis not as rigid as my iriz.. so while you can corner better but the car just feels not right doing it.. but it still corners well/better than the iriz..
Oh another thing, on my iriz when i go through bumps and potholes the steering movements dont change. but on my myvi you go through bumps/potholes you can feel the steering move2 a bit dy.. basically like if you dont hold the steering properly the direction of the car will change after going through the bumps/pothole.. unlike the iriz where it absorbs it well and doesnt transfer the bump/pothole your tyres went through to your steering inputs..

Thanks for the sharing bro. Interesting indeed.
I too, own a 1.5 AV. Actually pick up ain't too bad to be honest.
So far it's pretty decent when I kick down. I turn off eco-idle mode btw [not sure if it has any significant impact on the acceleration]. Car is ok at speed just that at very high speeds it doesn't feel planted and stable especially when the roads have undulations.
