Mazda6 2.5l, Genting Hillclimb - Working Car on Weekdays, Fun Car on Weekends | YS Khong Driving

- The Mazda 6,2.5l is an ideal car for projecting an executive image during the week, when you need to go out and meet clients, but good enough to allow you to go for a weekend chill drive to de-stress.
There is enough power for you to enjoy yourself, with a good suspension set-up that is comfortable, yet firm enough to minimize the body roll when you are near the limit around the harsh corners. 19-inch wheels help with grip, and big brakes maintain consistency in the brakes.
This video is in response to numerous requests from our viewers. I just went out and had fun. Thanks for watching guys, and stay tuned for more exciting stuff from our channel, and if you have not subscribed, don't forget to press the Subscribe button.
The 6 has been my daily ride for the past 5 1/2 years and I haven't pushed it anywhere near as hard as YS has managed to. Good to know what the car has in reserve.
That engine note sounds way better than the ones from the Accord and Camry. Even its stability and handling is confident boosting too. Another great drive sir! 👍
Thanks Nick. Stay safe!
I got the Honda Accord and the Camry. They are just as good as the Mazda.
The engine rev and exhaust sound...... Just pure eargasm.
9:23 people who stopped by the roadside be like "woah who's driving so fast uphill"
Driver is amazing. Making the car look good. 💯♥️
Mazda is so perfect that even the exhaust are real and not fake
Uncle Khong, it's very therapeutic to watch u drive.
The exhaust note sounded so good for a D segment saloon car.
I think it is the pumped in audio
@@irfanj i think the exhaust is tuned tho, even though mazda's engine and exhaust is loud, but it's not that loud as it's in the video
I can see Uncle YS drives very comfortably in this Mazda 6, quite stable and engaging to drive in overall, in sync with driver control
Finally the car has earned its self a reputation to be amongst the best. Previously, overshadowed by its competitors Accord and Camry. Now and finally a sight of relief....
I think it’s the intake sound more than the exhaust. The Skyactiv engine does sound good for that it is.
Driven the Mazda6 2010 model, before that driven the accord and camry of the same year. The 6 beats both interms of ride and handling. Very sure footed car, less body roll compared to theaccord and camry. And the electric power steering is just great. Gives u good feedback.
Good input from user! Thanks
Mazda now premium drive and quality. Awesome drive and the grunt of the exhaust is outrageous..
Uncle Khong's leisurely drive is not your typical driver's leisurely pace! Hahahaha, the handling and power of the Mazda 6 looks pretty good.
Yeahhhh Man. My Uncle is back!
That engine sound!!! Lovely
Mazda 6 is the best handling among other Japanese brand 👍
The section around 12-14 mins really feels like a street touge with Uncle Khong-San on the wheels.
Someone should make Uncle into an Initial D anime. with Euro beats music.
My heart beats fast everytime i watch uncle khong video😅
Hahaha, please enjoy. Good to exercise the pump a little.
The drive is smooth..... The bonus part is the exhaust sound is superb.
I understand they actually tune the sound to give it the zoom zoom effect.
@@YSKhongDriving I love the zooming effect.... 😍
Must make an effort go up to Getting Highlands after the CMCO has been lifted....if I am lucky I may meet my car idols there! Great drive as always and wonderful sound, by the way!
Yes, would be nice to meet you too.
A sleeper car with performance..Mazda is driver's car for sure
engine sounds like spaceship
Vacuum cleaner
No cvt garbage here folks :) just pure power to the wheels as mazda really has a good transmission.
Can’t wait for 2.5 turbo on this car hope before 2022 they will upgrade to turbo and with new look…
Yes, but with the pandemic, there may be some delays
Wow, passed the checkpoint on the foothill and you suddenly sped up like being possessed. Nice sound though from the engine
While watching this video on the tele and all of a sudden my 2 years old daughter asked where atok going? lol
Good performance. sound real good of the engine performance
Can't wait for the Ploton X50 Flagship to conquer Genting Uphill run 2020!!
great as usual.. tq legend.. stay healthy...
it is good if they have a hybrid version, because 7.6km/l is a little too expensive to drive when it is selling outside Malaysia
A lot depends on how you drive. Most people get around 10 km/l for normal driving. There is also the non- turbo 2.5 and 2.0 versions.
Wah... good handling.
This is amazing.
Waited for this for some time 👍
Thanks!
Most handsome Mid Exec Japanese offering IMHO. Dynamically too, as attested by many. Thanks for the vid Boss!
I'm sorry but did that BMW driver just used his blinker?
Cuz that's Bobby Ang
Yes, it is Bobby Ang. Amd he proves that BMW drivers do use signal lights. I also have a BMW, and it has working signal lights, I think, hahaha.
@@YSKhongDriving Hahaha... Jk jk...
@@YSKhongDriving I think BMW have fixed their signal lights, it's Audi that now have the indicator stalk disabled 😅 But remember it's not the driver's fault, you should know he always turns right at that junction.
Wow Malaysian drivers are nicer than Filipino drivers. Even that supra gave way to someone who's going faster. If that happened in here it would be a bit heated or the slower car won't even give way!
My first car 😎
16:15 clever AT. At one moment i thought the engine note came from the RX-7
mazda AT is really clever. i used to go up a steep. the car will stay on 3rd gear until the steep ends and then shift up.
what a powerful driving experience. very nice !
Good day Uncle YS,
How does this car's handling compare to the TNGA Altis?
I know they are not the same segment but since (assuming) this would handle better than the Camry, hence I am comparing this with the Altis.
Thanks
The Altis would not be able to hit those speeds in the same time, because it has a lot less horses. But ot will be a lot more affordable though, and will be very comfortable as well. The Mazda 6, being D segment has its own classy ride characteristics.
Seeing a RX7 going up Genting is really a rare occasion.
Where is it?
@@everydaybacksbroken2886 watch and listen to Mr Khong
@@everydaybacksbroken2886 i think he meant the blue RX8 not RX7 at 3:07
@@fyzbahamas Yes, Khong made a rare mistake there.
Lmao i can see thats a proton.
330LI M SPORT and Mazda 6 2.5 are quieter and better to climb?
Are you going to do a detailed review of this beautiful looking car?
watch till my eye also hard to blink.
Hi. Anyone here owns a 2.5 Mazda 6? What's the average fuel consumption like?
Happy to you enjoy the ride, makes us feel like we are in the car too. Uncle between Mazda 6, 2.5L vs Passat R.Line which one is your choice.
Difficult chouce. Both are very close.
D segment car is good but it would be just perfect if they could increase the power of the car up to +200hp especially Mazda 6 since it has the best handing .
Stay tuned, or so I hear, lol.
Bobby Ang in his 6th series cabriolet PogChamp
YS. . . any brief comment on the handling vs Accord 1.5T? It seems to me Accord holds the line significantly better/tidier. But could be tyres. . .
Tyres make a huge difference. Both cars suspension set up is very similar. And power figures are similar too i have driven both, and enjoyed both.
Watched both videos on VW Passat and Mazda 6 driving up Genting. If it is your own money, which car will you buy and why?
Itvwould be a difficult choice. Toss a coin, oerhaps.
wanna ask YS Khong now cmco why still can go genting?
Of course he shot before CMCO
Oic
Hi uncle, for this car (mazda 6 2.5 sedan), will the presence of the cylinder deactivation cause mechanical complications in the future?
I certainly have not heard of any dire consequences of cylinder deactivation, and it is not a dark art but an exact science. Deactivation simply means the cylinder does not get any fuel, bit ot still gets a spark to ignite any unburnt gas, and there is still lubrication in the cylinder.
@@YSKhongDriving thank you
Uncle which one do you prefer Petronas, Shell, Caltex , BHPetrol, and Petron?.
I go by the octane rating. Have no preference
powerful car but looks sampan when doing corners , weight distribution problem or strut problem ?
As you can see from the video the car handles very well. I would say you are quite mistaken.
@@YSKhongDriving I hope I my perception was wrong , but then again power is only good if you have good control over it , and in your case, you seem to have good control over this "beast" .
just one thing uncle YS, between this and new Camry, which is better? in terms of speed and handling?
Each of the cars has its own good points. I am okay with both.
@@YSKhongDriving thanks uncle. And tat is one great drive. 👌👌👌
Yo what's up.Have you driven a proton preve 1.6 turbo.If you had what's your take on it.If you haven't would you want to try?
Interesting.
Waiting for X50 genting ride..
When u drive this mazda 6 downhill, do u switch to manual (+/-) for engine brake? Or u use footbrake all the way?
That would be up to you. It depends in speed and your driving mood. For a slow relaxed drive, auto would be okay. For spirited driving, manual is better.
Why would you brake with the engine?
hi uncle, do we need to obtain a permit from the jpj or police to do a test drive ? tq
I dont know. This video was done way before CMCO by the way. Ask the 1 Series owners who were parked by the road side.
like uncle said, fuel economy went down to drain hahaha
on genting sempah road, my 2 litre record 9km/L, while this extra 500cc record 7.5km/L. Almost same spirited driving. I guess we cannot simply believe some people in lowyat forum who say bigger cc more fuel saving. More power use but use less fuel. logic 404.
@@highiq145 yes, fuel consumption cannot just solely looks at the cc, too many factors in it, design of transmission, design of engine, car weight, etc. And I can feel from the video this Mazda 6 is quite heavy
@@icethelegend9396 My car almost same weight. I think standard for all d seg as well. plus minors 1500kg.
@@highiq145 2L guy drive like maniac press deep, while 2.5L guy drive behave press little, and 2L guy got terrible fc than 2.5L. So 2.0L fuel guzzler than 2.5L?. No. The basis of differentiation is wrong in the first place. If not 6.0 is the most efficient cars. Fast vs fast, slow vs slow. Try full throttle both cars, now u know bigger cc will always suck more fuel.
@@icethelegend9396 Yes.. D seg vs C seg, D seg will definitely consumer more fuel since much more heavier.
I just wondering Mr khong you can drive to genting during CMCO ?
Video was done 2 months ago
Blue rx8
Uncle Khong, thinking to buy Camry or Mazda 6, can you give me some opinion?
Both are great cars, and very similarly specked. We sell both on our channel. Plse whatsapp me 0163350609, can discuss further.
Thank you for your wonderful driving.please do let me know from your driving experience which SUV is good & comfortable to ride interms of all aspect Mazda cx5 turbo or proton X70 1.8 turbo or others please specify? 🤗🤗
The CX-5 Turbo is a different class of animal, but it cists a lot more. The X70 is a very good bargain package amongst the SUVs available. The X50 is even more affordable. Thus it remains your choice entirely. There is even the Cullinan, if budget is of no consequence, then there are the Porsches, which are also excellent, not to mention the Volvos, and Rav4, and the Subarus. Each has its own magic to offer.
@@YSKhongDriving Noted with Thanks
Wish u are my grandpa😂
Why you no say bye bye ?😥
Forgot.
How's the drive?
Great. Watch the video!
Is this fitted with the 17 or 19 inch rims?
19 inch
What if they put the 2.5 Turbo ? :)
I think the car is already available, maybe coming here. That would really be awesome.
Uncle u go there no have any roadblock?
This video was shot a while ago. July
@@YSKhongDriving oh ok uncle thanks for telling it
How is the gas mileage?
The SkyAktiv system is one of the more efficient engines around.
Is this 2.5 turbo or 2.5 NA?
NA
Uncle not from selangor? Can go genting during cmco? Would like to go for genting drive... Im crying hahaha
This video was done a long time before CMCO. We still have a few more before we run out. We are like squirrels - keep the storehouse full so that we dont go hungry. This video was done in July.
It look like that car bersusah payah nk naik compared to passat
how is the handling compared to the Camry?
Just as good.
That was an RX8..
Thats a bunch of polo car club guy there hahaha on 9:23
They seem mainly consist of bmw 1 series actually...
Looks more like BMW 1-silli...
It was 1 series.
should try the turbo version lol
Waiting.....
What tyres are these? Been hearing screeching.
Standard tyres.
Ok cool.
2.5 turbo AWD??? OR FRONT WHEEL DRIVE???
If budget permits, of course AWD.
comparing to uncle's video in Sept 2020, I think Accord 2020 handles better than Mazda 6.
Run 2 screens, side by side.
@@YSKhongDriving you had higher smile ratio when driving accord haha
I noticed the same things too, Uncle Khong really feel happier when driving Accord.
He also smiled more in the Altis
Wah uncle today super aggressive. Think the passenger must be sweating in his pants..I d
Hahaha, you ask him.
@@YSKhongDriving I imagine myself, I would be, haha. But still I enjoy watching those moments because I drive like that sometimes
1st
The engine note and gear trans is very good.Hpwever i doubt the hp and torque figures of the engine.The same goes with their 1.5 and 2.0 skyactive engine.If the numbers is really true,then it must be achievable only at 7k rpm range😅😅.
Based on??????????????
@@djhrjeiwhri heyya,if u wan rough estimation u may try driving the car,i did and really to to rev high to keep the car pulling.U may try to dyno run too
car feels abit out of breath climbing hill
Its a rev-happy engine. That's why it sounds like that.
@@kinluke may be due to its low end torque thus need higher rev for hill climbing
We need to rev it up to extract the horsepower. All engines are like that. We haven't found the Flux Capacitor yet.
@@YSKhongDriving good reply Uncle! Hahaha
Uncle you can't drive fast :( let the younger ones do it for you.
Thank you for your concern. Yes, I will drive slowly, as always.
LOl BoBBYyYyyy+
The car like not very fun to drive uphill. Like no oxygen.
Please teach me how to be a car doctor too
@@Michael.17 🤭
Look at the smile on my face.
As usual....slow cars on the fast lane
No worries. We share the road. But it is good that you notice. Bit by bit, wevwill raise awareness and eventually the standard of driving will improve. Please help to spread road sagety and lane discipline.
Somehow don’t feel d sportiness...
Not a nice sounding car 😕 typical Mazda, very meh
If compare CVT gearbox car still win
No, it is not piped in sound.
@@leonlie1 🤔 I still wouldn't buy one, I like a car that's not quite so average, sometimes a car that is good at everything can become a bore, but then I am a bit weard 😜
That's my dad's car. 2.0L Executive
Fyi its S$110k with Open CAT COE
@@sh_pic.clicks FYI This is the Mazda 6, 2.5 Luxury, S$154K Open Cat. with all the safety features and BOSE system.
@@ckeengrg263 i wish i could have that
Uncle was having too much fun overtaking cars. Be careful uncle!!
From this video...looks like Uncle is driving faster than the Arteon R Line's video.
When driving up the mountain in winter conditions, is it OK to drive it in automatic mode? Should I use sport mode in order to keep the lower gear longer? Or is it necessary when driving up to mountain in winter conditions to switch it to manual mode?
A lower gear helps you have better control. If you have a manual mode it is even better.
