YS Khong. You are on form today! The best driving ever I seen from your channel and I watch a tonnes of your Genting videos. You visibly improved since the early RUclips videos where you are slower. Really level up and shows even a very experienced driver can improve. Master of Genting liao. Your video brought countless joyc to car enthusiast like me. Thank you boss.
wow definetly you were pushing harder than usual videos for sure. amazing to see what these cars can actually do. amazing drive. theres no other channels pushing cars like this specially in SEA. keep it up YS never stop.
The simulated gears on the CVT really helps figuring out what speed the car is going. Much better experience. There is a high pitch whine from the transmission. I suspect the CVT won’t last if driven hard. The car handles very well for a large sedan.
It will last as long as you change the fluid regularly people need to do research on modern Honda cvts they’re quite reliable I never hear of them failing
If any of you guys driving a CVT car, please do the CVT fluid change more often (according to your driving style) & do a proper clutch re-adaptation too. Once you start neglect the cvt, when the steel belt inside breaks, it will be a catastrophic damage to the gearbox. Non of those repairing just the valve body like on normal AT. It is in my opinion that large sedan like this shouldn't have small sized engine, no matter how much the power output is. NVH & luxury should be more of its selling point. It does sound kinda rough too & that cvt whine is pretty noticeable or maybe it's just the mic picking more sound than it should. Probably the car could use with more sound insulations tbh.
Honda using torque converter cvt, there is no clutch in this cvt. Hence it is smooth like conventional AT and no traffic jam inching problem of a clutch over heating cvt.
I own a civic and let me tell u this.Ur perception that cvt is noisy is correct.However after 3 years owning this and this is my conclusion.U will 98 percent of the time vl not accelerate hard and u vl nvr hear cvt whining.The more faster u go,the lesser sound u hear.This cvt have all my passenger say the car is so comfortable and nvr had anyone complain on whining.Power is more than sufficient at 4k rpm.
I thought I saw the meter tops 160kmh. And the corner seems nicely taken. Honda really perfecting it. Nice drive uncle despite the distracting loose stuff.
For a front wheel drive vehicle, the Accord handles well. I have the 2018 Accord EX and I have been very satisfied with the ownership for 2 years. No repairs or any issues other oil changes, wheel balancing and an alignment.
Uncle YS nice driving! i like how you scrub speed using the corners rather than using brakes at the uphill sections. Also i think the camera angles is perfect, makes us feel we are in the car.
😳HOLY SH#T!!! He scared me just watching him drive on my phone. I had no idea a stock 1.5 turbo Honda Accord was capable of those kind of maneuvers. Most impressive. 😳🤯
I've just seen this Chanel, and uncle YS reminds me of my father. the looking and style to talk. also, he has some experience with the car too. I'll subscribe now
Amazing Genting hill climb by YS Khong !....near perfect conditions , little traffic , bright & dry track/road except for 1 dumb hogger . Joy to watch sifu's ' pull & push' steering skill & maneuvering for a straight line direction round the corners. Got worried at your concentration deficit ref a unstuck camera ...insignificant irritation @ best. Thank you very much for another fabulous hill run.
Uncle YS Khong should make it a tradition where he test the car without knowing the type of tyres then make a reveal later to have a more precised assessment. Edit: Also I can say the CVT perform well I think. Not as lagging and unresponsive or else the drive would be difficult to connect between the car.
Wow, this time i can see the agresiveness. U r def the pro🙇🏻♂️ and i can say, this is the most wild and rally like of all car u drove up there. I love this!
I agree with you sir about car design nowadays. Merc also started not to differentiate between models. You cannot see the difference between C & E class.
@Ys Khong driving , This Honda accord is a best practical car . 1 Nvh is good (only engine sound can hear.) 2 Comfortable seats 3 Powerful Engine 4 Beautiful exterior and interior. 5 Suitable for every occasion (except formal like High class place) 6 Maintenance fee is the reasonable price. 7 Quality of Honda is better . Please like if you agree with my comment. If not , don't criticize and don't mad at me. Because everyone have different opinions.Thank you.
Awesome Uncle YS Khong! love ur driving skill... the best ever I have seen so far... and yes, this Accord 1.5TC-P the best value D segment everyone can buy... thats why we actually brought one, Just after MCO 1.0 lifted... class leading interior space, best ADAS system in the market and very powerful too
How was the the CVT gear box performed? Is it that whiny? And the ride comfort? If it wasn't for CVT, I would get this accord instead opted for camry ..and its CBU
@@muhamadrosly4058 ... a little at high speed, but for me... its nothing... comfort wise... practicular the same with Camry... rear passenger has more space than Camry... spec sheet are far better than Camry... especially the Honda Sensing suites of ADAS... and of course, more powerful as u know right
You drive good today . In the future I would appreciate if you give cross comparisons with other cars from same segment like Camry and mazda 6 in terms of drive feel, stability , and comfort.
I noticed it's not about the engine displacement (cc) or the engine 'size' that determines the power of a vehicle nowadays, it's the horsepower and the torque that we should look at.
Ive already drive my accord 1.5t for almost 5+++km n 6 or 7 times to GPO but its really scary to see uncle just drve it like a hot hatch.. excellent drive sir.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
now this is fast, i rarely feel fast watching your videos. the accord is good right. i was amaze with the different tuning of this car compare to civic. feel faster and gearbox feel like normal cvt. hahaha its hard to make 18 inch scream, but u really pushing it. i hope honda malaysia bring the 2.0 turbo, at least open for order. value for money.
Amazed how the top range revs were used most of the time with the CVT. Indeed, there must be quantum gain in development and refinement. A wonderful demo of how well the CVT matches for the engine size and tune. Er now how about a comment of the every day drive to market character?
That CVT whine progressively got louder, which means to me that it’s an issue with the transmission getting too hot when under this kind of stress. Won’t last long
hello uncle,saw a videos of you driving bunch of protons,would absolutely love to see you driving manual satria neo cps r3 if you could get one ,i'm eager to see how it handles around genting with its "lotus handling" touch! :)
Looking at how you handle the car both going up and down the slopes, how much braking do you need to have to control the car especially taking the corners.
The amount of braking depends on how much you need to reduce the speed by in order to make it through the next corner. Knowledge of the car, understanding its braking capabilities, knowing the imminent corner are all factors to determine when you brake, and how hard you brake. Most of the time we brake hard.
Uncle 1.5 T top speed cruising ok? Can it go beyond 160km/h and maintain the speed? The temperature will easily get higher? Due to the small 1.5t engine?
Hi Uncle. Interested to know how the new Accord compares to the new Toyota Camry. Which is the better sports sedan and which is the better executive sedan?
So whats the pros and cons between this latest accord and its arch rival the latest camry? Which would you prefer and which would you recommend? Tq uncle.
They are both in the same size category. Better for you to go have a look at both and make your own decision. The appeal of each car to different people would be different.

The car handles very well for a large sedan.
Yeah heard it too. Sounds like ambulance.
It will last as long as you change the fluid regularly people need to do research on modern Honda cvts they’re quite reliable I never hear of them failing
Uncle's driving so professional.
Uncle Khong always makes a sedan car looks like a sportscar
I love the distance between the car and drain when you take corners!
The best Genting Run! Just WOW!
Watching Uncle YS just brightens up my day, love from Bangladesh🇧🇩

That whining is from the typical cvt belt... if we take out firewall and sound insulation ... it will be super noisy hahahaha.

Great run. Love your honest review and your driving skills is superb! 👍🏼🤣

Great stuff YS..... Nice turbo spooling sound, sounds like a super charger.
I think that is cvt screaming 😂
Video xpernah kecewa.!! Mantap uncle!!! I wish one day i can sit beside. And layannzz your driving 😘😘
😳HOLY SH#T!!! He scared me just watching him drive on my phone. I had no idea a stock 1.5 turbo Honda Accord was capable of those kind of maneuvers. Most impressive. 😳🤯

Amazing Sir, what a skill 🙌
Accord ❤
1.4 tonnes but you lug that around like a samurai with a sword. Excellent drive. Stay safe sir.
Some say he drives with a smile in his rally car 😅
Was he a rally driver?
@@wanbee3635 yes he was
Wan Bee 5 times national champion
Some say, he schooled the Scirocco with a Myvi..
@@eugp4198meaning that myvi the true legend as well as king of highway viral is real... 👍
Me: *reading comments about cvt whining
Uncle ys: *already arrived on top
Lol
This car is a beast for 200ps. Price is high though but lots of comfort and great handling 👍. I love this car 🚘
But still not furious due to cvt.. Trust me.
@@muhamadrosly4058 CVT advantage is during uphill driving and fuel efficiency, takes time to adapt it but surely good after that
Love your passion even reviewing a daily ride car !
For the next time..when we saw who's drive faster and aggressively up to genting it's should be uncle. "🤴 king of genting"!!
Uncle YS Khong should make it a tradition where he test the car without knowing the type of tyres then make a reveal later to have a more precised assessment.

Hahaa
I agree with you sir about car design nowadays. Merc also started not to differentiate between models. You cannot see the difference between C & E class.
I think it is Mazda who started these trend with the Skyactiv series.
Wah crazy this uncle driving so fast effortlessly 😅 Very pro
Can't wait for uncle to test the City RS Hybrid i-HEV
@Ys Khong driving , This Honda accord is a best practical car .
1 Nvh is good (only engine sound can hear.)

Making me drool. Can't wait for the Arteon review and see how it fares. Fingers Crossed 🤞

Yes

This is the best video out there about this car. I subscribed to the channel!
Thank you very much
@@YSKhongDriving Just purchased mine and waiting for delivery. Your spirited driving gave me the strength I needed to be patient!

I drove it on the highway sliwly.
ok at first I thought he was a normal uncle testing drive the car, until the genting hill hike XD brilliant uncle haha
Always love the way u drive, keep it up uncle Ys💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Uncle YS, superb climb. You really tekan the Accord kaw2!
I did a drive up same day as you but in the afternoon with my Civic 1.8. I noticed the Toyota Innova taxis is now the king of Genting now. 😁
Await proper review of the arteon especially reliability incl if its equipped with trans cooler for the dsg.
love ur driving skill n ur review
A roti canai must taste so good after this kinda drive 😂
Uncle Khong the Street King👍
In the same price range civic rs or this uncle will buy???
the bag at the back was having the ride of its life. hahha. Great driving Uncle.
Sorry about that. Wil anchor them next time.
@@YSKhongDrivinguncle next time anchor me instead of the bag truly speaking I'll be honoured to do so. 😁😃😃😃😃
Accord handling very good, Uncle Khong also skillful.
But CVT sound like EV car sound, very loud.
CVT only good for cruising but not for this kind of spirited driving.
Me: Go Genting highland is like plan and preparation.
Him: Let's go Genting Highland and have roti canai.
That CVT whine progressively got louder, which means to me that it’s an issue with the transmission getting too hot when under this kind of stress. Won’t last long
Very nice Uncle, I can see your really enjoying yourself unlike when your driving the Almera during your previous video,haha
Uncle, saya nak berguru dengan uncle... Terbaik lah uncle
The best Genting run video.....👍
hello uncle,saw a videos of you driving bunch of protons,would absolutely love to see you driving manual satria neo cps r3 if you could get one ,i'm eager to see how it handles around genting with its "lotus handling" touch! :)
Eat the corners like a piece of cake..never boring.
However do hear the Accord engine roar quite a bit
It can possibly reach a top speed of 200 km/h and possibly have a cutoff at about 207 km/h due to its 1.5 L turbocharged engine
I cannot confirm because we mever hit that speed.
@@YSKhongDriving Hope you do a 0-100, speed vs rpm and top speed soon
Love yr driving skills Mr Khong..
Thanks.
@@YSKhongDriving keep up the good work Ms Khong..
Wow... you know when Uncle likes the car when he drives it like this.

Uncle syg sempoi.bhagia rseny tgk uncle drove.hr2 mst mau tgk
The real review starts at 11:55 - great review!
Hahaha.
We need more videos on the 1.5t
The camera bag that knocking around? And do u take corners not in a single turn but in smaller sterling turns?
Great driving as usual Boss! A lil bit more aggressive than usual.
Best Genting run video 👍
5:53 what is that black car uncle can i have infos abt it?
Think it was an Odyssey
I❤the cvt whine
Uncle 1.5 T top speed cruising ok? Can it go beyond 160km/h and maintain the speed? The temperature will easily get higher? Due to the small 1.5t engine?
Can change the gear Manually with paddle shifters + sport mode without the gear change itself right?
Yes.
Mr Khong, which is better to drive up Genting? The Mazda 6 2.5 or this Accord?
The Mazda seems to handle better.
Hi Uncle. Interested to know how the new Accord compares to the new Toyota Camry. Which is the better sports sedan and which is the better executive sedan?
Each car has its own character.
Thanks Uncle. Which would you prefer to take on weekend run up to Genting?
Can't wait to see u to drive the New Honda City with the High Torque✨
Love this speed demo of the 1.5T. Did you ever try the Accord 2.0T with 10speed AT?
It's sold in the US for 2018-2020.
No, I have not. We had the Accord 2.4, natirally aspirated.
I also want to try out this car 2.0T with 10speed AT...
Love the way uncle test the car through tight corners at Genting, but cant help to hear the screaming of cvt whining
Uncle Khong, remember to drink a cup of coffee in the early morning :D
I don't know if it's the sound, I don't know what it is, but it seemed like one of the fastest routes on the canal. Greetings from Colombia
Hi Arcturo, all the way feim Columbia. Welcome to the channel.
Car seems very fast. How does it feel vs the latest Camry?
Alamak should’ve filmed the roti canai too .. lol!!!😄 great video, nice commentary..
Thanks.
I love his smile when he starts racing it haha!
This new accord is very powerful and i think handling is good,thanks uncle ys
What would Malaysia be like without Lim Goh Tong, thank you uncle Lim for Malaysia’s greatest road!!
So whats the pros and cons between this latest accord and its arch rival the latest camry?
Which would you prefer and which would you recommend?
Tq uncle.
They are both in the same size category. Better for you to go have a look at both and make your own decision. The appeal of each car to different people would be different.
@@YSKhongDriving To each his own. TQ...

Hi Vanness
Hi Mr Khong, next time do drift test too.
King of Genting😘
Bukan main lagi pakcik nih😲😂.ni nak bawak kereta ke nak kejar org😲?😂😂😂
U are the best ❤️❤️❤️
Skill impressed and steady. But how about the handling if compare to VW Passat Elegance & Toyota Camry 2.5V that you drove before?
All in the same ballpark.
