Mercedes A250 (2015) Modified Suspension: Is it Better than Golf GTi? | YS Khong Driving

[@HR15DE]

Finally someone is modifying their car for daily comfort. and not making it harsher louder haha i like it. hard suspensions are for perfect roads like track anyway. softer suspension works better on public roads.

[@waioramin]

Yeah, most of the aftermarket suspension went for the harder setup. Which is what common people want. Meanwhile, some enthusiast went for softer setup..including jeremy, lotus engineers, and here..i heard ivan also got softer setup for his S2000.

[@edison2964]

I remember when Uncle used to test drive Myvi only Now look at him, driving this A250 sliding through these corners This uncle surely a pure legend one !

[@Nabilllllll]

Yesss, i’ve always wanted to know whether the A250 is better than the gti because i’m getting one soon. you’re the best uncle! thanksss

[@aimanhaziq7035]

6:10 “oh this guy in the wrong side” 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jusbdeone]

must be dreaming

[@xlesxe]

isnt that the cameraman?

[@alvink9]

I can imagine how hard the original suspension is considering that there is so much vibration on the camera now with the aftermarket "softer" suspension! Gosh must be back breaking driving it along Ulu Yam

[@bigguwapbrixks187]

I own one and it’s actually really good it’s not intended to be driven like this touge run this guy is doing hahaha on everyday streets it’s such an amazing car I fell in love with it ❤

[@yishenghiew]

hello YS i love to watch your video btw will the Mercedes A250 2015 have a lot of engine or gearbox problems? or easily to take care?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Should be no problem: however if buying a used car, do have it checked by a car expert before buying unless you know the car history well

[@shantanuhabade73]

Hi, I own A180 sports model made in germany from 2015 and has stiff suspension setup. It does not soak even small bumps and makes thudding sound.I am thinking of replacing the springs with comfort suspensions springs. Does only replacing the springs make the suspension softer ?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Not really. The two need to complement each other.

[@babisotonggg]

i hope u can test drive i30N again on this road, last time too many cars..

[@chiahkianthye7904]

finally you review this car...

[@saiirazy4268]

Hello ys khong, can you make a review about the new BMW X6 ?

[@GG-ep7ug]

Hi YS, digging up an old video of yours on A250. Just gotten one and the ride is killing my back.. Can I know which koni model suspension is used for this modified softer one? Thanks in advance 😅

[@YSKhongDriving]

Speak to the Koni seller - I am sure he can help you. The one from the A200 should fit, and it will be softer.

[@GG-ep7ug]

​@@YSKhongDrivingdo I need to change the spring to A200 ones too? Speaking to Koni guys too now... Thanks again

[@azfarazah7662]

Uncle YS,which road that you prefer to test the car handling in hi and low speed corner,is it hulu yam - genting or karak - genting?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Depends on car. Today I did one to Putrajaya

[@razor911]

Hi Uncle Khong, I currently have a A250 and wanting to change to a softer suspension, do you have info where I can find shops that have Koni / Bilstein suspension and how muhc is the quotation to get them changed? much thanks and love your channel

[@YSKhongDriving]

Just fit the std Koni for the model.

[@mr.quillax5698]

Well if gti better than a250.in your oppinion kan uncle,what about golf r and a45..since both price nearly the same.or gti stage 3 vs a45..knowdays hard to find who can give a test drive for these car so im confused which one gonna take..

[@YSKhongDriving]

The A45 suspension is something you should test before you buy. Nice on track but on road is very harsh.

[@sekepingroti]

hi uncle , i hope you can test drive a mini cooper s / jcw ''f56''

[@leontan1847]

Liked and Subscribed! Brother YS, I’m driving the A class with AMG suspension too. It’s super stiff and not comfortable for everyday drive. Will you share what “softer” absorber is used now? Or is it Adjustable? Appreciate if you could share the brand and model too, looking to replace mine. Thanks.

[@Jackylcm]

@@hafizzabid3325 im driving c250, and i changed my suspension to bilstein b8. Never change the spring, just absorber.. The ride feels better

[@yujinlim1637]

Hi uncle Khong , thinking of getting of 2014-2015 A200 which below 100k is it a good bargain ? Currently driving 09 myvi thinking of changing my car

[@YSKhongDriving]

It's a good step up. Generally the cars are okay. The A200 is softer

[@johnterry1990]

Was this during the CMCO?? thx Uncle Ys

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes. Within Selangor only.

[@albertKFC]

Hi Uncle, I have the same A250 (2013), and I would like to modify it to be softer as well. Do you mind to tell me what and where did the owner modified it?

Hi Bro' YS, When are you taking a Mercedes Benz GLC250 4matic for a run ?

If they give me a car.

@@YSKhongDriving Hope they will soon give you GLC300 to test and review

[@laterken530]

You are the bestt

[@tony1860]

Awesome uncle! Would the handling be only marginally better with stock suspension (assuming on the same route)? The ride seemed bumpy even with the “softer” version.

[@YSKhongDriving]

I don't think it would be any better. The suspension is too hard to start with.

[@harvard_lee]

Car handles well despite it being soft. Guess the driver behind the wheels makes the difference.

[@allantan7459]

Wonder who is filming when video is showing outside of the car engaging the twist ing road. Seem able to keep up.......karamjit Singh?

No, another good driver. We are not going fast.

[@ong6282]

Hi Ys uncle, how would you compared f30 2015 316i vs 318i or even 320i, is there really a big diff for 318i 3 cylinder and 316i 4 cylinder of in terms on reliability and maintenance? Budget 70k to

[@YSKhongDriving]

I think the power difference is not much. The 3 cyl engine is new tech, and they use this engine in a few of their models. Also it allows the use of common parts. Each cylinder is approx 500 cc. 3 cyl = 1.5 l, 4 cyl = 2.0, and 6 cyl is 3.0 and V8 is 4.0. same piston size, same bore, same bearing size, and Conrods. The newer engine should be an improvement. And parts will be easier

[@ong6282]

@@YSKhongDriving Thanks for the prompt reply !

[@songkongking]

If budget is ok just get the 320i. Parts and etc are a lot in common with 328i/330i/330e. 316i/318i is class on its own.
