Safety & Tech
Common Problem
TL;DR
The Proton Iriz 2019 is known for issues with its power windows, CVT transmission, and radiator rust. It's praised for handling but criticized for build quality.
Power Window Issues
A recurring issue with Proton vehicles, including the Iriz, is problems with the power windows. Many users have reported needing to replace the power window regulator multiple times. This problem has been persistent across various models and years, indicating a long-standing issue that Proton has yet to fully resolve.
CVT Transmission Concerns
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) in the Iriz is another common point of concern. Users have noted that the CVT can be laggy and may not handle aggressive driving well. It is advised to never skip or delay the gearbox service to avoid further complications.
Radiator Rust
Rusting of the radiator is frequently mentioned as an issue, often attributed to the use of tap water instead of proper coolant by service centers. Owners are advised to ensure their coolant levels are maintained properly to prevent this problem.
Handling vs. Build Quality
While the Iriz is praised for its handling, partly due to previous collaborations with Lotus , it suffers from poor build quality. Complaints include rattling sounds, cheap plastic trims, and overall unreliable construction. Despite these issues, some users find the steering responsive and enjoyable.
Alternatives and Recommendations
For those considering alternatives, the Perodua Myvi is often recommended over the Iriz due to better value retention and fewer headaches. However, it's noted that Perodua cars might lack the handling precision found in Proton vehicles. If opting for a second-hand Iriz, checking the radiator/cooling system and timing belt is crucial.
