they are pushing the "global" word.. but during the launch, Tun M said Iriz needs a new engine to compete globally
the proton vvt engine could be good 10 years ago.. but its still rough and not refined by today's standard.
Will I get one if I'm looking for a car?:
Probably, but not now. Proton is famous for its first batches of new models. Most of the first batches have many problem which proton slowly rectifies one by one throughout the years. That's why they can sell a model for a decade. It is one of the cheapest car equipped with features we would like to have like ABS, airbag, and vsc. I believe many parents will get Iriz for their children, if they are not anti proton. I had tested many small cars like ford fiesta, Suzuki swift, honda jazz, kia picanto, Mitsubishi attrage, myvi, and a few others. While proton claimed that Iriz is benchmarked against the fiesta and polo, I feel that it is still far away from them. It is comparable on paper, but in actual it's totally different. However, it is comparable or better than some compact cars in some aspects. For example the ride is better than honda jazz, but not fiesta. I feel more comfortable in iriz than swift, but swift braking win hands down. Pros and cons, it all depends on what does one expect from it. Cheers
Honda anyone?
I nearly got myself a Fiesta before getting a myvi. The only holdback was fiesta got no f-king manual!! So I got a myvi manual instead, at a more cheaper price tag of course. So I was thinking why not use the $$ to play with the myvi and see what i can get out from it? My myvi is still no match to a fiesta now even after some mods. But is it less fun? I believe Izso, Suprafan, Stupidcar could tell..
I hate the Myvi. And I hate the Myvi because I have two different generation Myvis at home and I hate both.
If you ask me if it's fun, hell no. Is it fast? Yes and no. It's agile, fast maybe not so much.
I'd like to see you go again same roads without the 205/50/15 RSRs.

Imagine if they do something like Iriz R3 with 1.6 Campro CFE. It would be even better if they give it the 6 speed manual gearbox that is seen in the manual Suprima S test car. Probably a larger rim like 16" would help too. If priced around 70k to 80k, then the deal should sound good enough.

Haha, during older days many cars are actually fast with good performance but they looked like no different from ordinary cars. Like the old EG9 Civic Ferio SiR that comes with B16A...
