For Iriz asking price, cannot justify. The 1.3L STANDARD CVT you're looking at RM45.5k SOLID, versus Perodua Myvi SE 1.5L RM48k SOLID.So far cant see no iriz on the road...
Keep in mind, Myvi SE vs Extreme difference is the multimedia unit and bodykit..everything else is same..
The only thing Iriz has is the electronic stability control.. otherwise everything else they are on par, with the Myvi coming up tops with the 1.5L engine and a proven gearbox.
Despite Iriz having better handling versus the Myvi..if you are buying a city commuting car..you're not going to throw corners..so..yup.. I don't see it toppling the Myvi anytime soon.
The 1.6L is cray cray.. starting at RM56k..why don't I just buy a Nissan Almera by topping up few k? Again, the Iriz has the ESC..but otherwise.. same what, both also dual airbags.. on top of that, the Almera (Versa in USA) is IIHS USA's Top Safety Pick for 2013.
