Actually proton perform superb on the highway. So so so much better than myvi. Plus this is so much more solid than the plastic myvi. I was really impressed after testing protons
Im the owner of the first gen 1.6 cvt iriz.. but yeah from the entire review i feel like buying one more iriz.. 🤣 the ride n handling satisfaction beyond ur expectation! Feel it! U will be amazed for starting 35k to 50k price tag! Congratulation PROTON+GEELY! Its a very good move! This is the real GAME CHANGER
I'm using previous generation Myvi 1.5. It feels light but do I sense it isn't safe and not solid. On this aspect, I love Iriz. Kudos to Proton and Geely partnership
My concern is on petrol consumption. Based on what I hear, Iriz consumes more petrol than Myvi. I'm concerned by that because for me my Myvi consumes like hell. How about Iriz?
I would say this is the best automotive TH-cam channel in the country in terms of video quality and review simplicity yet very informative...but maybe more frequent uploads on more 'rakyat friendly' car would be nice 😁
Impressive and accurate review by you Adrian, watching AutoBuzz make me feel others Malaysian car reviewer need a lot of improvement to achieve this kind quality.. good job to your team
Other than the iRiz, the editing and presentation by you guys are improving very well after each upload. Better rolling shot, clear audio and love that minor info about what proton had add and removed which wasn't shown clearly by the sales gallery i went before. Keep on evolving proton and autobuzz!
Really loved your last comment on “a person who feel ashamed driving a proton” 😂that’s soo me.. but on a side note, really considering to get one of this beauty for myself. By the way great review Adrian! Better than a certain Paul tan.. oops!
I've always liked the Iriz. Great ride and handling for what it is. (Sure the more expensive B segment cars can offer just as well or even better, but remember, this car is under 60k) Although we can all agree that the drivetrain from the early models are seriously what's holding the car back. I've driven a few of these, the overall engine response especially at low speeds, it felt pretty disconnected. (Imagine this alright, let's say you're driving on a flat road for like 15-20kmh. And then you come across a minor incline. So I apply abit more pressure to the gas pedal to overcome the incline. But the engine took like a second or two before it actually responds. And it doesn't do it smoothly either, and then letting go of the throttle, the engine just disengages roughly.) 2019 model year though. I've got the chance to go for a quick run in a Persona, no high speed runs for this one so I can't give my full opinion yet, my main interest is how it does at low speeds. And I'd say they've done a better job with the CVT. The disconnected feeling between the throttle and overall powertrain, isn't there anymore. It drives smoother overall. Also to be honest, when the 2019 Iriz first came out, I didn't really like the design. But it slowly grew on me and now I think it does look better than the prefacelift Irizes. Overall proportions to the car looks more balanced(Where the prefacelift, it's rear end looked like it was pretty fat.)
Yeap that's the only "if..." I can find on the FL Iriz. But the previous 1.6 manual iriz had terrible sales figure so it's unlikely for proton to do so.
@@ZtuneR97 almost every car makers ditch the manual and give a way to automatic transmission to take over because of less buyer. The demand is there, but nobody buys it.
I have tested both famous hatchback in Malaysia; the infamous Myvi and the low-profile Iriz. And to be honest, I don’t really love the lightness of Myvi, I don’t feel as secure as when I test-drived Iriz. Although I really loved the overall exterior design and the interior space of Myvi, I’d rather have a comfortable drive with Iriz. Still waiting for my Iriz tho. The half-cooked so-called ‘lockdown’ is killing my patience
Yeah.. early planning to buy it compare with foreign or perodua cars. thanks for ur review and really beneficial to other who are in difference situation.
A very good review if the recent updated performance and handling. Since the video was sponsored by Petronas no fuel efficiency figures was given throughout the video.
There's always difference when you compare proton to perodua, if you need a comfortable drive with much better handling in a premium style , then proton is for you , but if you need some safety requirements to be done with the most concerned fuil consumption ability, perodua is for you
I hope the Iriz Active/crossover variant later on with rumored 4at gearbox comes below 50k or starting at 48k😄 Im skipping ativa just because of their 3cylinder and CVT,plus all that for 62k? Beli innova je la
Add on to the previous comment. It was a CLUTCH-BASED CVT. So it will have that first contact feel from standstill or when the speed is too slow that the clutch need to open.
Eventho I owm the first batch Iriz... I must said that I satisfied enough with the Iriz and the ride quality. I'm pretty sure this iriz will be more enjoying to drive as it now much quiter than before 1.6CVT

Statistically, I think the CVT is reliable, otherwise Proton + Geely would not have kept it in the Persona. For the upcoming Saga's CVT getting replaced with 4AT, its more of making the car cheaper to run and maintain I guess. Hope if I indeed buy a Punch CVT Proton it will last long like yours without issues.
Planning on buying one but I am curious. Iriz 1.3 & Iriz 1.6. Performance, top speed is there a big difference or more less the same? And what bout fuel consumption? Thankyou! 🙏🏻

Hehe.. Like carwow 5 annoying things.. I think it's a good to be addressed that way.. Please continue in your future videos.. 5 good things and 5 annoying things..
btw u had forgotten the voice command feature, u did said hi proton, but u didnt like umm show the viewers another voice command method: the voice command button on the steering wheel
For me the wind noise is acceptable at this price range but i do suspect the tyre noise is quite intrusive.. Should change to a better tyre might lower down the tyre noise
Vast improvement. I test drove both with NVH as one of my top 3 criteria. Result: Iriz is wayyy quieter than Myvi. Myvi can hear all kinds of road noise and traffic noise, insulation done poorly
Anyone can share anything about the fuel efficiency? Proton despite its good handling has always been known for their bad fuel efficiency. Wondering whats it like for this.
The fuel efficiency not that bad and certainly improved from previous models.. the recent 1 tank adventure by proton proved it that you can drive 630km on 1 tank withoun going super crazy fuel saving measures. 80-100kmh,aircond still turned on..
@@godfreya.1599 I wonder how it'll be as time passes. How far will the fuel efficiency deteriorate. My family used to have an exora and driving that car to me was harsh on the fuel. Drinks petrol like crazy

Persona premium 2017 owner & it has so many weird.noises. Dashboard rattles in cabin & suspension knocking. SC failed to resolved despite being sending since 2017 till todate. Dissapointed to the fullest
Try going to other SC. They all know the common prob of persona/iriz cabin which is the rattling noise. U just have to find the exact location of sound to fix it. I am a persona premium 2019owner btw n faced the same exact prob. Rattling noise at center console plastics.
I rather take torque converter based CVT on Honda than ancient 4AT. Pandulaju.com.my already done drag race comparison between new Iriz and Myvi G3, the 4AT on Myvi is holding it back at mid range acceleration while Iriz's Punch CVT while sluggish at low range, accelerate very quick at mid to high range.
Tough choice. Depends on whether you want boot space + save money (Saga) or better driving experience + safety (Iriz). Looks are subjective, i think both look good.
2019 Iriz is so good EXCEPT for that eyebrow "bow". Idk it doesn't work for me especially Myvi 2018 looks wayy better. But it works on Persona, so why Proton?

Of course 1.6 performance better, i think 1.3 is a bit lacking for a 1.1 tonne car
any option to change out the headlamps to projector? that's the only deal breaker, and the DRL that turns off with headlights on....
Thinking of buying a used 3rd gen vios non cvt or the 1.6 iriz executive.. I need a car that can go uphill without problem and comfy on bad road
3rd gen 4AT vios has no VSC. Get the CVT version.

How was it?
Test drove, serious wind noise after acceleration of 100km/hr and above, but still the throttle response is so much refine than the previous gen
which car has no wind noise
