The Jazz is my project car and I've upgraded to Swift lowering springs with UR front bars and rear anti roll bar, upgraded to Akebono brake pads with Michelin PS3s. The engine and CVT are completely stock and untouched. With these minimal handling mods the Jazz is a cornering monster on the hill climb. The outstanding thing about Jazz in stock form is it's lightness, and is even more noticeable during hill climb. The car is so light and nimble that so many corners are now no longer relevant. I use the brakes more for positioning purposes rather than actual braking, especially the uphill climb last few downhill turns. Many cars back off there while I can continue accelerating. The only thing is the rear dampers are slightly soft and the sag can be felt when exiting sharper U corners. Just need a bucket seat to hold myself in place.
Exhilarating drive 👍 reminded me of the Mini. As always great video YS. Thank u very much
I always like your test car videos because of your cameras views keep me enjoying your driving experience like i am sitting next to you. Good job Abang Kong 👍
Thank uncle for the review! The review and demonstration are very helpful and informative at the same time!
You are most welcome
Khong, your videos are excellent! you are very informative and your content is fun to watch. moreover, you are an excellent driver. your work is highly appreciated, keep making more of such videos.
Thank you sir. It is always nice to get some appreciation.
Lately uncle your driving up Genting getting more spirited and 'furious'. For whatever the reason it may be, I really enjoyed the drive. Thumbs-up!
Getting more used to the road. It depends on traffic too.
On days I have too much to do but I want to enjoy taking a spirited drive in my Yellow Honda Fit, I like to watch this video. Thank you.
You are most welcome.
So pro. Thumbs up! 👍
if MT with more fun,but malaysia never bring in😪

Your driving skills is very professional Mr Kong . Wow impressive . Former cham . Legend stay legend . Love your channel and keep it up 🔥🔥
Thanks for your support.
Nice going sir. This is my dream car 💕 thanks for making a wonderful review. New subscriber here from Philippines.
Thank you for your support. I have many friends in your country
Uncle khong i always remember when i was young all those nissan sentra taxi genting driver drive like pro uphill and downhill genting.I couldnt imagine how many trip they can make one day from kl to genting.you remind me of the old days.
Hahaha, I believe I am a better driver.
Of course you are Uncle Khong 💯
I think you should start giving the cars your own rating like a smiles rating. Example, 7/10 smiles :D
Your driving skill is awesome. New subscriber her in the Philippines. Stay safe sir!
Hi Andiel, welcome to the channel! Thanks for the good wishes
If got chance I would like to tag along one day for a drive. 😄I always enjoy your video uncle Khong especially the genting drive.
Oh yeah here come 🔥🔥🔥
its the Singer not just the song. Keep it Up!!!!!
Hi Uncle Khong, I grew up watching and learning driving skills from Mr Harvey Yap, Mr Haniffah Yoong, Mr Karamjit Singh, Mr Zulkifli Hassan and from you at local rally and track events. Your current efforts to produce hill climbs videos is awesome in educating local drivers to understand and learn of what it takes to be a safe and skillful drivers. Keep doing it while you are in good health and capable off. I wish that some of the local mechanics will also makes car performance upgrading videos in a proper and safe manner covering chassis upgrading, braking, suspension, steering and engines. This will contribute towards educating younger generations who are enthusiastic about spirited and skillful driving in a safe manner. Appreciate your kind effort! Awesome!
Hi Eng Kuah, thank you very much for your kind words. Those are very much my thoughts too when making my videos. I glean from your words that you must be quite senior too, but probably not as old as I am.
Yes, I intend to do this for as long as I can.
With this channel, I can finally share what little knowledge and skills I have with more people before I move on. Thanks again, and please stay on with us in this channel.
I love your driving videos. I guess almost all new cars handle good. i never heard you call a cars handling bad. do you remember any car you driven that handled bad ? why its bad
You're great Sir...👍
Hsieh hsieh.
I like your driving skills👍
Thank you.
feels good man :D
Will you be comparing the Jazz Vs the Yaris?
Love it
Many of these cars may be slept on due to their lack of power. But uncle really show me that any car also can squeeze power also xD
Steady uncle lyan corner👍
Padu lah lengchai 👍
Please test out the Jazz Sport Hybrid (17) as well if possible :)
I'd like to see you do a review on the latest Mazda 2 pleaseee that'll be so awesome
At 6:10 uncle used the universal hand sign for drivers meaning “wtf” hahahaha. Btw nice driving uncle.
No, it wasn't. It was, " Are you going left or right?"
hahahaha
Mantap uncle👍🔥💪
Going to book this car next month ❤️👍
Excellent choice.
Mugen body kit uncle. Thanks for ur video. Really love ur video. I'm ur fan. ❤️❤️👍
Awesome drive up.... I do hope some drivers would be aware of their surrounding 😅
We hope to educate through our videos. Good observation, and I am sure our other viewers will have the same awareness as you have pointed out.
Sharing is caring.
@@YSKhongDriving sharing video with my family and friends of coz 😊
Like for the honda jazz test drive video👍🏻
Thanks very much!
Hi uncle Khong, can u do a review of Perodua Bezza 1.3 premium X for the Genting Hillclimb please thanks?
I’m not an engineer, but look like steering size need smaller bit 1 inches? By the way, nice content, great driving skills. A bit overpriced laa this Jazz in my opinion. Love this video 👍🏼❤️ Uncle Khong is the most skilled drivers among Malaysian RUclipsrs!
I think if Alex Yoong become a motoring journalist also can't review as passionately as Uncle does.Hehe my 2cent
Thanks. Alex is a dear friend, and he knows quite a bit about cars too. Of course he is also a great driver, as you know.
I bet after the trip, that Honda "Jazz" become Honda "Rock" coz kena bantai kaw2... road bump pun jalan... 😂😂😂
Looks fun! I wish there is a display of speedometer and rpm to look at in live
Hahaha, nothing to see there. We are driving slowly at 60 to 80 kmh. Please enjoy the video, lol.
Interesting that you brought up the seats... I read about this on a affiliated Honda dealer forum years ago where people criticized the previous gen Fit/Jazz for wide unsupportive seats, and someone provided valid feedback. Honda tries to cater for all types and shapes of people, but Honda by sales volume is much more prominent in the UK, Germany and North America (CA /USA) where the average male us at least 5 feet 9 inches and more that 6ft more often than not. The female average was also 5 foot 7 inches and above. It is not justifiable financially and logistically for Honda to make one seat type per model and /or region, so they try to strike a balance, which means vehicle seats and controls are a bit larger than what would be perfect for the average Asian (Japanese people specifically who have a smaller frame, as there is also a misconception that Chinese people are smaller, but one has to consider nutrition, income, geographic location, etc especially considering the size of China and the global Chinese population in general. From a western perspective they generalise Asians as Chinese, Japanese or Koreans, hence the rationale). So the long and short of it is Asian cars are actually made for the west more than the east. Hyundai / Kia are a perfect example of this, from reliable but emotionally unappealing cars from the early 90s to basically the Asian equivalent of a European car. If you didn't know the design language and brand it could easily pass off as a European manufacturer. Even the ride quality is European firm, and not oh so comfy Toyota / Lexus pillowy.
Good comment: Some people judge car makers from their personal and individual perspective, but I believe in looking at a car from different angles. We must always try to understand it from a manufacturer's point of view, at the same time knowing that the car was not made for one person alone, me, hahaha.
I love your videos sir! I'm a huge fan. I was wondering do you left foot break? People find that my left foot breaking is odd in America. Considering that I drive a Toyota Toyota 4runner
I left foot break because its frankly easier for me to manage the vehicle in rush our traffic and highway driving.
Hi, left foot braking is a little different from using you left foot to brake. Sounds strange, right? Left foot Braking as used in rally cars serve to help the car steer, used mainly on dirt stages.
For road cars it it is not so practical, especially for manuals. For hill descent, it also heats up the brakes excessively.
I use normal braking, but have used left foot Braking in my rally days.
Anyway, thank you for coming to our channel. Plse enjoy.
New myvi interior especially dashboard design layout, looks alike jazz
Dave Burgess
Uncle can u put one camera to focus on meter console...so we also can enjoy engine character when u driving.....sorry just suggestion..
uncle, any chance to do yaris driving review?, i really enjoy this video and would like to know your comment on yaris and comparison with jazz :D
We do have a Yaris drive video
@@YSKhongDriving only found sneakpeak, launch and side parking video ... gonna scroll back your video. thanks btw!
May favorite car with may favorite driver.
Awwwww!
@@YSKhongDriving uncle which would you prefer, manual transmission or a cvt.? In terms of maintenance and long-term use?
I would take a manual, but then in a traffic jam, I would suffer. If I had to choose only one car, where I live, the CVT would have to do.
@@YSKhongDriving thank you uncle for enlighten me. I'm planning to buy a Honda jazz.
@@jessiedelantar4710 which one you end up getting? i got the cvt and i think i regret it, really miss the manual gear box
Hi uncle. nice review. nice skills. just want to ask. is it Honda Jazz sensitive when they use Sport Mode. maybe can effect on the engine or something in the long term. as i know , honda jazz is more to relax driving.
S mode is something you ise once in a while. It does not spiol anything. Rather it helps you to increases mechanical efficiency so it even helps to save the engine. It is there for use when you need additional power. Everything wears down in time, and nothing is forever. Don't be like the house owner who buys a washing machine, then dont use it so that it wont get spoiled.
@@YSKhongDriving Thanks again uncle for exellence explanation 👍🏻👍🏻. you are the best
Hi Uncle Khong, great video! would appreciate it if you could do a genting climb with the Vento TSI 1.2. Thanks!
I asked, but they do not have a car available.
YS Khong Driving bummer! Would like to see how the lower range TSI engines fare against the curvy roads of genting. Definitely would be keen to see a review on a walk around at least 👍😁
mmg genting ni makanan dia lar..
hahah terbaik lar uncle..
dah mcm tgk initial D in real life.. bapak takumi ajar drive.. wakakak
Terima kasih
@@YSKhongDriving semoga dipanjangkn umur uncle khong
Uncle K,... U make speedy turn around the corner that cars or objects are not visible .. What if got a car in front? Do u have someone monitoring the traffic ahead or any drone flying ahead?
I go slow enough that I can stop if there is a car stopped in front. Driver anticipation is a part of defensive driving.
Not bad, it can't compare with Myvi. Better with Iriz. This road sharpen Uncle Khong Driving skill a lot. Next year Uncle Khong can blind fold to drive on this road already. 😅
Hahaha. I am just enjoying myself. Thanks for watching.
You're welcome, Uncle Khong.
Ya.. Driving is one of the enjoyment, it can release stress. I like to drive long distance road. Sometimes I drove fast too. Beside of enjoyment, safety is important. So... Drive safe.
Excellent driving Uncle Khong. Between the Myvi, Iriz, Yaris, Jazz, Mazda 2, Picanto, Rio, which one has the best handling & NVH in your opinion?
I'm driving a Bezza now. I'm finding that the car is too big and it's handling is not very good. So when I get rid of it, I'd like to buy a hatchback that handles well and has good NVH.
Wow, it's a blur. Just pick the one you like and go for it.of the list the two biggest and most powerful would be the Mazda and the Jazz.
@@YSKhongDriving Hopefully you'll do a video for the Mazda 2.
Since you had driven the MyVi 1.5 and now the Jazz, which gives a better drive and handling? Please omit your comment on the paddle shift in the Jazz. 😂.
Your expert opinion on power delivery, CVT and Standard auto gearbox and car handling. Thank you. 😁
Park. I also want to know. 😅
In terms of handling the two are very close, but I think the Jazz would have the edge here. It has more suspension travel, bigger tyres, and is wider. The Myvi is lighter so makes up for the lower power with being more nippy and more chuckable.
Jazz wins on comfort and overall ride.
The choice is very simple: if you can afford it, go get the Jazz. If you cannot, settle for the Myvi.
@@YSKhongDriving The response from the paddle shifters are quite slow right? Because I see you pressing them and the 'gear' didn't change many times.
How about NVH though? 🤔 After seeing your Myvi and Jazz videos back to back it seems like the NVH of Myvi is better.
Will 4at from myvi make huge different with this jazz cvt
Compare with yaris n myvi, pls rate number 1,2 and 3 good handling?
Some curious question Uncle Khong, how does the handling of both Jazz and Yaris in comparison? How about City vs Vios? On genting road like this. Which car bites the road better and sharper steering input?
All the four cars you mentioned are built with struts in front and a torsion beam at the back. They are very close in terms of performance and handling, so there is practically not much difference. We have tested all of them and the videos are on this channel. Different people have different needs so will select the body type that most suits them.
We have the Vios, Yaris, and City hybrid videos here.
Uncle should make vedeo about driving skill too
Compare with the Myvi, how to do you rate both of them in term of handling and raw power ?
The Jazz is a bigger car with a more powerful engine, and being more expensive, has more features and build is if a higher standard. We cannot compare the two. The Myvi us also a lovely car, and the one you choose will depend on the depth of your pocket.
Hi uncle can you make a video only the technique of your driving(eg taking corners and braking technqiue judgment and soo on) and how you know the limit of the car.
Ok, let me think about whether that is possible to be seen in a video.
In your honest opinion la uncle, which one do you think better overall between this Jazz 1.5 & Myvi 1.5 AV 🤔
Myvi is a lot cheaper, but build quality is different. Whichever one you buy depends on you needs, and the choice is yours entirely. One is a Perodua and one is a Honda.
Uncle..I just want to ask..
Do you prefer jazz or honda city more?
My personality leans towards the Jazz, for its hatch-like shape but the City has a quieter cabin because of the construction of the sedan body Vs a hatch.
Uncle I'm in dilemma, which one would your recommend for long term usage?which one will do better for economy and maintenance? Honda City Hybrid or Toyota Vios
Both are excellent cars. The hybrid will save you lots of fuel, very good if you drive constantly in a crowded city environment. The Vios handles beautifully and is nice to drive.
@@YSKhongDriving thank you sir for advice. I will make decision after test drive both of them according to your information.
Any car driven by Mr Khong would perform well...🙂
Haha..and make us difficult to choose
Hahaha. Welcome to our channel. Please enjoy.
All kind of cars can be driven for genting genting highlands if you are the only passenger in the car. The question is how often do you go to genting alone for a typical holiday?
I am sorry I cannot get passengers to load up the car, because I test alone. Maybe we should put more people, but of course the speed and handling would be different.
Hello ys..in you opinion which 1 the good jazz or the myvi climb the hill handling and the fuel seve.tq
The Myvi, being a bit lighter will save fuel a little more, but the Jazz gives you much more versatility. Buy the best car you can afford.
Uncle, you covered honda city genting uphill or not?
I think so. Life's been a blur recently with all the test cars but I think it's here somewhere.
Hello.. after you test genting hill climb with jazz and new perodua myvi,which one the better handling and power? Thanks..👌
Good question. Jazz has about 16 horsepower more and higher torque, but is heavier by a little bit. Both cars are set up about the same, but Jazz wheels are bigger.
Let's put it this way - I would find it quite hared to overtake myself in any one of these cars.
Note, however, that the Jazz is built differently so in terms of buying the car, it is not just the performance of car on road, but other reasons like price, size, overall build, etc will play a part.
What if you are drive those cars on the highway? Which one do you prefer for performance, comfort and fuel economy?
I have the same jazz. One year old. Do you find the car is very bumpy when hit bump? It looks like it is slow to sattle when hit bump or bumpy road.
Hi Fuad, I think the effect is audible as well as physical in the Jazz. You will hear the suspension noise as louder because the body construction does not have the sound insulation provided by the boot area in the City. For cars in this weight category, ( around 1000 to 1200 kg, the suspension has to cater for up to a 500 kg increase under full load, therefore the springs have to be of a certain stiffness to start with, otherwise the car will sag down quite a bit under load, and body roll will also be too much.
In contrast, for heavier cars the weight change ratio between empty and full load is lower, therefore the cars are relatively more comfortable.
Thanks for the technical explanation
Thanks for explanation.
However I found the new myvi have a much better rear suspension when come to uneven road. Eventhough both car almost same dimension and weight.
long story short , if u allow me , the Iriz is the one if u compare directly to the jazz...but somehow,miraculously , u seemed to like the myvi too....
Just a simple question , myvi 1.5 or this jazz you enjoy the most? I know jazz is a better car but just curious about myvi how close it is to jazz
Maybe you should put the other gopro at the dashboard meter. I see the other gopro no feed in the video. Put small size into video as the face cam to see the speedometer of the car. Maybe smaller than the face cam screen size.
I understand what you want, but we decided against it because it will invite wrong comments - you know how it is. Please continue to enjoy our videos, and thanks for your support.
The only honda you haven't drive up Genting is the Accord. Hope to see a vid for it.
Hmmm, didn't realize that. How about the Type R? I haven't driven that one anywhere. I should try to get one.....
DO IT!
@@YSKhongDriving OOH yes the type R!
can test drive ford fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost?
Lucus Chen I want to see that too
not relevant , a discontinued product..
Having experienced the local fiesta vs the global spec its pretty much the same story as the VW Polo, to make it affordable, they have stripped out the premium materials and sound deadening from the interior as well as some safety kit. The only upside is the badge, suspension, engine and drivetrain.
Don't think the car is available any more.
Did you notice a lot of vibrations going into the cabin at high speeds?
Not particularly. This is a B- segment vehicle
pakcik pls ride hati hati. im worried lahhhhh
9:45 dejavu~😂
I noticed at some point in the video, some car in the way are reluntant to keep left and give way to Uncle Khong car. Is it because the car is a small car?
Not really.
@@YSKhongDriving Anyway, I enjoy this drive video very much. Thanks 👍
Uncle khong, can do review of kia picanto??
Trying to arrange a car.
Can you do a how to drive paddle shifters in CVT cars
Nothing to show.
Uncle Khong, how tall r u? Just wanna compare your height with the seat's height .thanks.
164 cm
How does this compares to the new Yaris?
120 PS vs 107, more space. Drives almost the same.
Uncle. Pls take the Bezza up the mountain. Shud be interesting to compare the A segment 'people's car'.
It's in the plan.
Yes, pls do for bezza...becoz so many owners want to know how bezza taking sharp corner like this genting run.
Uncle what brand new car u suggest below rm100k???
In this ballpark you are looking at the B segment. The choices are City, Vios, Mazda 2, Vento, and Cerato are having an offer right now.
Different buyers will have different priorities. Choose the one that best suits your needs.
Which one power jazz or myvi 1.5?
Jazz of course.
Do you switch off the aircond while driving uphill?
No, it would be too hot, and with window down, wind intrusion would make the sound recording go cuckoo
@@YSKhongDriving Because some of advice we gotten those days, driving uphill must switch off the aircond so that the car engine wont "die". note: aside from the sound recording purposes.
No 0-100 video???
Video should be titled GohTong climbing.
Next civicc
Uncle, rempit uphill using ex5 next....
Hahaha, I am not brave enough for that.
Hi, Sir YS Khong and anybody opinion : which is the best, Honda city new 2021 or Honda Jazz 2020 ? tq respone :)
Same power train. So choose the one you like. Both are built on same platform. Sedan would be a bit quieter.
The '21 is hybrid tho
Civic tc genting test drive please!
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes 10000 % civic tc 1.5
For me, small engine car is more fun in touge road. We can floor it without worrying too much of throttle control. And the lesser weight also mean better weight shifting and less braking, thus more fun.
Edit: How dare you honk & chopped the King of the road 🤯
Yes, less chance of over cooking the car if power is less.
Uncle Khong, if got chance i wanna sit next to you on a genting tour and can help u with the shooting cause I am videographer + car enthusiast...hehe
Hi Shawn, you are most welcome to come along. Hmmm, might be a good idea to invite one subscriber to come along for each rest drive.
That would be great idea Sir
Looking forward!
Please pm me.
@@YSKhongDriving HI Sir, great to hear from you again. I have emailed to you.
Malaysia still using the same engine as previous jazz isn't?
Yes.
Hello uncle. I would like you to drive my jazz and learn from you 😂🙏🏼
Hmmm, thinking of doing an advanced driving course for our fans.
YS Khong Driving yess you should 👍🏻👍🏻
What tyre is it using?
Standard. The car came from Perodua HQ on loan for media test.
Can u make one with the suprima s 😁😁
im waiting someone test suprima s too 😍
pls try top speed?
mega slamber top speed 190
So uncle for stabilizing car with one is more stable while driving ?
?
YS Khong Driving jazz vs city with one is better ? 😅
Uncle, have you test city?
Tested Hybrid, here's the video ruclips.net/video/zEE4tQm97bQ/видео.html
Petrol loading up soon.
Tq for watching and don't forget to subscribe and share.
Uncle, try to hv some fun with 2013 above suzuki swift 1.4... U will love it.
I do like the Swift. I wrote a glowing report a few years ago. Two of my good friends owned the Swift Sport - now, that's a car!
Awesome... Try to make a genting hillclimb video with it. Can't wait to see ur smelling face 😄😄
By the way, hopefully Tan Sri Vincent Tan can successfully bring Suzuki back to Malaysia.
Hmmm? Is he bringing Suzuki back? It's a bit unfortunate that the brand is floundering.
how the comparison between iriz and jazz. u seem to favour myvi over iriz 😂
Do I? Hahaha.
Can i have your opinion ? A vezel 1.5 or a fit 1.5 rs ?
If you only need 5 seats, the Fit would be a better performer in terms of power to weight ratio and overall handling. If you must have the 7 seats, then the choice is obvious.
Thank you. I am deciding between the jazz 1.5 rs and the vezel 1.5. But both is 5 seater ?
Fd2R up to genting pleasee 🙏🏻 love your video sir
Terima kasih. I will drive anything I can get my hands on. Lol.
