2020 Proton Iriz

1. Performance The pairing of 1.6L engine alongside a CVT gearbox is adequate for daily drives. Although Proton proclaimed that they have vastly improved the pickup and powertrain performance, it would still jerks during pickup or low speed drives. But rest assured that the "jerkiness" has indeed vastly reduced as compared to the Iriz MC1 or Persona 2016 variant. Wishlist: let's hope that Proton would bring in 1.0T engine for next release of facelift. 2. Interior design The all black design is very sleek and sexy when compared to Persona 2019 MC1, where it reduces the cheap outlook of "plasticky" construction. However, majority of people would perceived that the interior space is rather cramped and vastly smaller than its rival (this includes Persona), as darken interior would defenitely deceive one's perception that the space is limited. The materials used for the car interior is now much more refined and sturdy, where those buttons no longer give you a "loosen" feel when operatings, the gaps between the joints of different parts are now tightly screwed together as well. My personal favourite on the interior would be the roofline, where the materials used are so classy and high quality; instead of using a rough recycled paper surface, Proton gives you a properly made high quality PVC/ cloth thingy, it's just so nice to touch. The all new meter cluster and head unit is definitely playing big role to set down new benchmark to its rival, where those new techs significantly boost up the car's premium feel. 3. Safety This car comes with ESC/traction control, HHA, HPF body construction and at least 2 airbags, it will give you a assurance on standard protection upon car collision. The head unit now also comes with dynamic line on the reverse camera, when paired up with front/ back parking sensors, chances of car kissing events will be greatly reduced. 4. Exterior design This is really subjective, but to me.. the car looks cool AF! + More - Less

This car has the feature almost all the modern car has. The safety features that this car consist of is something better than previous proton. Speeding with this car still better than other car as the iconic proton which is best known for it speeding acceleration feature that is so good + More - Less

Iriz too pretty + More - Less

pro - handling (superb feeling when taking corner and with little to no body roll) con - reliability (undercarriage rattle, dashboard rattle, rubber on roof peeling off x7,radio volume up and down, steering cover crack and broken,boot rack holder crack,underbody welding crack) - fuel consumption(full tank rm80 = 430km) note for future owner - its kinda a good car for someone who knows how to take care of their car. if you want a car that are worry free, then this car is not for you + More - Less

My car is the basic variance. Came with 1.3 engine, CVT. Let's go straight to why it's not worth the money I spend. 1. Jerking - I'm not sure if this normal for CVT, but the jerking issue is way more than I can handle. Yes,after a few tweak from the sc, the jerking reduced significantly, but still I believe the issue need to be resolved before mass production. 2. Noise - you can hear all sort of noise - coming from dashboard area and also one tick-tock sound that even the mechanic can detect the source. Imagine driving your car on daily basis and have to listen to that noise and wondering if something will fell apart at some point. 3. It's cheap but don't be too be cheap - maybe not all, but some portion can use soft plastic instead. + More - Less
