Renault Megane R.S. 280 Cup [Genting Hillclimb] - I Know You Guys Have Been Waiting for This LOL

[@afeefperera5612]

uncle khong makes any car feel like a ferrari

[@elwinbu5926]

this car faster than some of the amg and 5 series though

[@TTH-fi8hr]

@@elwinbu5926 that's true however you have to compare the wheelbase or length of the car and weight. The 5 series isn't as agile as this car due to the size. this car competes with the 2 series or 3 at most (due to the 3 series' size). Megan RS is around 172in whereas 5 series is at 195in, huge gap This is alot shorter than even the 3 series at around 185in. PS: I'm talking ab the cornering speeds not straight line acceleration.

[@dado380]

Renault is THE hot hatch king,freakin fwd hatch thats faster then porsche 911 and 911 gt2 and ferrari f50

[@samsunga7goldalpha914]

Hahaha really!

[@Kangkk828]

actually its AWD

I stumbled upon your channel just before midnight and I am still here watching you tearing up Genting route. Very addictive watching this!

[@YSKhongDriving]

Welcome to the channel.

[@totobekteshi9306]

The difference between rude driver and this uncle, you guys can see this uncle didnt passed a car in front of him even there is so much space in the left lane, He waited the car moving to the left. Living Legend.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thank you for noticing.

[@123reubenjd]

Watching from Australia where I have a Megane RS and feeling nostalgic about childhood drives to Malaysia from my birthplace in Singapore. Thanks for the awesome review Uncle!

[@YSKhongDriving]

Sure! Thanks for supporting our channel.

[@mirzahanny]

Any car in the hands of this uncle, all hell will break loose. Great job uncle!!

[@jonathanteh9250]

Great drive uncle! I hope you can bring back the camera view from one of your previous drives where you showcase the POV of the drive from the middle passenger seat. That view was more stable too and can see how the car actually climbs the hill from within the car! Helps put things to perspective imo.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Couldn't mount the cam because the seat has no headrest. My mount is designed for the headrest. Sorry.

[@cryptocatz]

👍🏻 driving style and attitude

[@selespeed3]

of course it can corner! it is the nurburgring lap champion, retaking the trophy from honda civic R. it is the best hot hatch.

[@selespeed3]

but you didn't take the car to its limits. suggest you do more twisties on the way up to the casino and then back!

[@sexmondcard]

This is not the trophy r with carbon wheels brakes no rear seats that did the record. That car is limited production and costs twice as much as a type R going full race car, the type R is still the faster better car for the road and track use for the price

[@selespeed3]

Adrián Sesmonde Sangiao I’m surprised of the big difference in price. I’ve seen the megane R. Distinctive styling and nice. Type R? Terrible styling and just not appealing at all. I’ll pick magane R. I think Renault is pretty good in making performance car.

[@stephantranquille6681]

No competition, The Megane Sport takes corners better than some vehicles worth 10 times more!

[@syryx3502]

The video quality is getting better man, I would like to watch some comparison reviews on the hot hatches.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Will try.

[@azlandin9911]

Tq YS for the run, just what we are waiting for. Very undramatic and calm. Wow, It shows that the car's capability is extremely high and need to dig even more to hit the limit. Just for request, can u put the cam shot at the meter cluster, and for any manual car, at the footwell? You had done this before. Bring more adrenaline by seeing the revs up and down. Cheers

[@sleepless3y3s]

Actually he explained before - He doesn't want to put camera on the speedometer so that not to attract any Love letter from Abg PDRM. What is more important is the view of the handling, not the speedometer.

Hi, may I know the comparison between Golf R and Megane R.S. 280 Cup such as handling and etc, since you drive both car. Both have similar performance such as 0-100 km/h, 4 wheel drive and etc.

[@YSKhongDriving]

[@xmenlingcheehuat0811]

Yup, it's a good suggestion. But Megane RS gt 4-wheel steering but front wheel drive.

[@Nomad9657]

@@xmenlingcheehuat0811 you mean Golf R has front wheel drive and Megane RS gt has 4wheel steering? If it is, I'm afraid that Golf R has 4wheel which is 4 motion similar as Megane RS

[@pictogene]

Dear Sir, between this and a Golf GTI, which will you choose to have of u can only choose either one and not both?

[@YSKhongDriving]

If you have more money, take the Megane RS as it has more power and costs more. Both are good cars, and the Golf is a good all rounder, more affordable

What a suprise! You didn't use the multi change down function,in manual mode it lets u drop few gear down simultaneously.Only get this when you hold down the left hand gear paddle.

[@sophiawoods6748]

How would you rate the Megan compared to i30n and gti?

[@YSKhongDriving]

The horsepower and torque figures would be a good place to start comparing. All these cars are built with performance in mind, so they will all handle well: definitely all will be fun to drive.

The EvoX is a nice car, but not available any more. I drove it years ago, and cannot remember. It was one of the good cars of its time.

[@kinluke]

Just a question. Should i get this car or the Civic Type R? Any opinions?

If you can, get both. If you can't, just toss a coin or draw lots. Both are great. If you like autos, then it's the Mégane.

@@YSKhongDriving Uncle, If I'm a millionaire, I would get both. But I can only afford one right now haha. Thanks for the reply though. Much appreciated coming from a Legend!

[@sophiawoods6748]

Megan’s is brilliant

[@ngkwdaniel]

Hi Uncle YS, I am in a dilemma between a Megane RS280 and FK8 because I couldnt test drive the latter car which is no longer available by Honda Malaysia. In terms of pure driving experience, car and driver connection, chassis dynamic and feedback with manageable power as well as the sense of reward for revving the engine, which will be a better choice? Does the 4control feels unnatural for a FF car? Also the rear torsion beam against the rear multi link in both cars respectively, how do they fair one another? Appreciate your feedback please

[@YSKhongDriving]

We have both the car videos climbing Genting. I suggest you watch both.

[@elwinbu5926]

uncle may i know what is the top speed u are going in ? cause the cam vibrate quite kaolat

[@YSKhongDriving]

Not too sure, but top speed on that stretch was around 165 for maybe half a second.

[@riezalwayne911]

it's awesome and thanks uncle 😉

[@navteh534]

is there any speed limit on this road ?

[@harzeeqmas6123]

My dream car

[@albertKFC]

Uncle, since you have driven the Type R already...which one you prefer when come to cornering?

[@YSKhongDriving]

The two behave very differently - the Megane tucks in when you turn, and the 4Wheel Steer system helps. Overall, they are very close, and with these type of cars, the longer you drive them, the faster they become. I drove this one up 3 times - what you saw on video was the first one. Basically as we drive we become more confident as we get used to the car. You don't want to go into the bushes at any time, so the first time up, we are always feeling the car, and also have plenty of reserve - it may look fast, but we are actually going 'slow'. To get a true comparison, we need to close the road, and drive both the cars up at the same time, which is impossible, so we drive them up immediately, one after the other, and to be fair, we have to drive each one at least twice, withing the same time window - just sharing my views.

[@albertKFC]

YS Khong Driving thank you so much for the detail reply. I really appreciate that. I am thinking to “upgrade” to Megane once I finished paying off my A250. Kinda interested in Renault Subscription service. As I don’t think I will want to own this type of car for long period. As they are usually for fun experience. I already have a Sedan for family and runabout :)

Really? I thought I was gentle. It is dangerous to slow down to a crawl, especially at the bottom and especially if you have another car behind you: have you ever thought the other car or truck may suffer brake failure and hit you from behind? I have seen that happen. That, is defensive driving - think ahead.
