Proton X50 Genting Test Drive - Can it make it? | YS Khong Driving

[@kierkier2368]

Uncle YS is the type of driver that leave the house 20 minutes late and arrive 30 minutes early.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha, so funny, and thanks for supporting our channel.

[@nitric75]

that sounds like something from the Initial D (live action - starring Jay Chow). lol

[@williamhayden2492]

Yalo, uncle is Malaysia authentic Initial D. If I was inside the car I sure tutup mata pray to GoD. 🤣 hahaha

@Avi Tobias why does anybody need to hack their gf fb account to get into it? like, I can just ask for the access. n00b.

[@Caine1986]

Proton is so caring, putting a handle at the co-driver side. It's perfect on this situation, just hold on tight and enjoy the ride

[@heanluen]

Brake is hot, let's take it easy... going 80-90 downhill. For those that complain the center holding bar is useless, see how hard he's (passenger) grabbing the bar.

[@nitric75]

i don't think its useless but the bar is high enough to be hitting /blocking my knee when i was trying to open up my legs wider. It does give me a feeling of something interfering with the normal way i sit. Driver side is better since there is no bar.

[@heanluen]

@@nitric75 Especially useful if YS Khong is driving your car.

[@nitric75]

@@heanluen fully agreed but i will still feel uncomfortable / cramped specially when i am at the front passenger seat. hahaha...

[@heanluen]

@@nitric75 End of the day, you got a pretty amazing car, definitely worth it. Have fun driving!

[@nitric75]

@@heanluen i didnt go for the x50, cancelled it after i test drove a hyundai tucson 1.6T 2019 (test drive unit). Was offered about RM35k cheaper with a pretty nice plate number. I tested the x50 after i bought the tucson. I just don't like the vibration from the engine when i quick tap the throttle at low speed on sport mode. The x50 wet dual clutch is nice, but the vibration is a no no.

[@gabanterakhir]

I thought he's gonna slow down a bit when he said to be conservative at corner but after a few time comfortable tyre skids, I love it when he laughed at those corners with inches away from the wall. Great driving! Can see that he's having fun driving this car.

[@oonminloong9929]

Oh my god I cant believe myself watching uncle YS Khong x50 genting run almost 10x. Uncle Khong you shoild come out with a driving academy where the laymen people like me can learn how to improve our drivimg skill😁 Love it!

[@msuffian76]

Passenger: How fast can we go up to Genting? YS Khong: Yes

[@DaveYeo]

Watching this is like sitting in a rollercoaster, I can feel my body swaying from left to right, exciting and yet scary at the same time, wow wow wow.....salute to your driving skills...I hope no inexperienced drivers wl attempt to do this

[@rakyatprihatin]

@@lowuihiung2218 Yeah you are right. X50 is a better built car. Definitely more superior car.

[@rakyatprihatin]

Definitely, X50 is better. It is way better than Activa. I hope those are buying Activa do not be tricked by the techno jargonish nonsense of the car. Most importantly still the driving experience should be put into priority of buying a car.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Welcome to the channel!

[@nicbioqi]

The X50 in Malaysia indeed is difference spec then Coolray in Philippines. I believe suspension wise Malaysia more on comfort and soft. Coolray on better side more regid and a little hardness which l like in term of better handling on corners.

[@ngeo88]

X50 is Geely Coolray

[@andymr8123]

@@ngeo88 everyone knows that. He just explained the different spec in X50 after Proton did some adjustment & tuning to the X50 to suit Malaysian market & condition.

Ya, most passenger car the manual mode will be push forward up shift, pull backward downshift. Unlike the sequential gearbox in race car, in reverse way.

It look very light and soft on corner, very fast but cornering need watch out, even not sitting inside. Steering also look very soft and light.......

@@YSKhongDriving thanks for Uncle review of the car, i been driving Peugeot all these while with their great handling and stability and now i have no regret in booking a Premium unit of x50 knowingly the fact it can match the Peugeot in terms of safety/comfort/handling. Tested the x50 b4 booking and i can say it really behaving like a Continental car........aka Volvo.

[@seechunchong9876]

Fantastic drive, Uncle YS!!! If the car is light & easy to chuck around corners, driving this fast, up & down the Genting Highlands road, any car will need the Anti-Vomit Warning System for the passengers..

I am considering of paying to sit next to you.. nice la.. Ps.. the x50 is really capable suv... The engine is willing only the gearbox was design to be gentle.. it is fast mind you.. overall.. enjoying this vid.

[@agkumohdshahrulnizam]

Superb driving n can feel the speed so much.. juz love it

[@ThomasWish]

I watched several videos and the way uncle handling steering wheel not the same for every type of car. Some cars, you steer left right a lot when cornering. I wonder if it because of car's under/over steer(stability), speed or car's weight. And some cars you handle so smooth like silk. So cool! Wow!

[@YSKhongDriving]

Very observant. We use the steering to change attitude of the vehicle, sometimes to counter understeer, by inducing oversteer. Sometimes we meed to counter the steering if the tail steps out. I drive every vehicle according to its behavior, and adapt my driving to every car.

I enjoy this kind of speed runs on corner. Marvelous!

[@silverelgrandlow6298]

It seems to handle surprisingly tidy even with Uncle Khong pushing it hard. The only thing that's letting it down seem to be the tyres. I changed the UC6 SUVs on my X70 to PS4 SUVs and my goodness the transformation is intense and obvious. Maybe the X50 with much better handling could actually benefit even more from the better tyres. As usual amazing driving by Uncle YS Khong. Would like to ride in the car one day!

[@pkteebillion74]

It'll be good if can takes 4 people in the car go up hill for your next run of car test. Then only can tell whether the car is powerful enough or not. Most modern car has no problem going up to Genting if drive with 1 or 2 persons.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Good suggestion, but it is hard to get 4 people together, and in today's environment, i wouldn't encourage it. Anyway our scope of works is not to provide full testing of all aspects of a car - it will never end.

[@aeroline11]

I think most of us are awaiting Uncle YS to drive the new X50 to Genting and finally it happened. From the video I feel uncle YS has done quite lots of steering correction during corners which it quite rare. I heard some said the steering too light and steering directional is less accurate, is it true Uncle YS?

[@YSKhongDriving]

The vehicle was doing what I wanted it to do. We were going a quite a fast clip, amd I was using the steering movements to initiate some body response. Do warch again and listen to the commentary.
