Subaru BRZ Genting Drive & Review | 2.4l, 6 Speed Auto - How Does It Do?

After a long wait we finally get our hands on the latest 2.4 liter Subaru BRZ, and out test car came with a 6-speed automatic, which is just as well, because it offers a solution for those who want a sporty car but still need to commute through our daily traffic jams in the city.
So our city driving woes being over, we also needed to see how it performs on our favorite mountain.
Please enjoy the video and let us have your comments below.

Uncle YS car review is the only car review that matters with a lot of insightful knowledge of a car anatomy for the general public

[@lovelybigguy]

like how the car put smiles on the presenters' faces. Awesome car and great review

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thanks for watching!

[@Zaizenzxz]

19:15 nice catch uncle❤❤❤ u control it very well

[@ac-kj9lb]

Y.S. Khong is the King of car reviewers in Malaysia. He has no peers. He covers all facets of the car. He is comprehensive and detailed. After seeing almost all the car reviewers in Malaysia, there's no doubt he is the BEST.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thank you for supporting.

[@egreenmiii]

One of the best videos in a while. Looks like fun, you never stopped smiling

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes, a car like this always brings on the smiles.

[@ngkwdaniel]

Uncle YS video levelled up !! Recorded rolling shots, engine & exhaust note shots, motion shots. You rock Uncle!! The Auto is not so slush box judging from the sound of it - better ratio and no gear hunting compared to most Aisin AT

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes it is one of the better ones

[@MrZy-dq6un]

Super duper love when Uncle YS review this BRZ. T TQVM for this video ya

[@YSKhongDriving]

Our pleasure!

[@sures21t]

Sir you speak very well I like ur style of presentation

[@mohammadanuar5092]

i love that integra at the back

[@MuhdIqbal]

That DC5 is quick

[@Seramics]

Haiyaii. I think its modded. Stock dont have so much power.

[@molaakuh7633]

You are a legend, uncle! I'm grinning when I watch this video. I noticed how well-kept your drive was. Give this guy a 👍 #buntafujiwaramode

[@YSKhongDriving]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Seramics]

He's our Msian Bunta indeed. A true legend. I never buy a car without watching his video first on the handling.

[@zydomason]

I already won this car but I love other people enjoying it as well. Such a blast on twisty roads!

[@Seramics]

DC5 haiyaii. Very fast. He should be featured more in YS Khong video, great companion driver. Can do more content on YS chasing from behind,its great view.

[@ken-ab12]

Uncle YS, mind to share how is the ride & handling vs its twins 86? Always love your videos !!

[@YSKhongDriving]

The underpinnings are the same so it is similar. I think each nrand does their own customisation on ride and handling and there may be slight differences depending on their individual set up preferences as to which part of the ride/handling spectrum each one chooses to be.

[@amdteng]

Love the addition of the rear view camera in this video. Too bad about the sun being in your face a number of times. Lets just say, this time the sun was out to get you lol.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha, thanks for supporting our channel.

[@KelvisHoo]

hope all the future Genting drive video can have this camera setup, plus a foot cam will be perfect, haha

[@Swagzenegger]

Most of the vids with gear stick is with foot cam, this auto just saying

[@itstherealone]

You need to mirror the backcamera to make it less confusing.

[@rozaimie]

Good handling especially at the corner 17:35 and 19:12 Btw, that white DC5 is ur team, or from other company?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Friend

[@MrZy-dq6un]

Dear Uncle YS, Might be next do compare GT86 and BRZ in term of handling, practical and others for Malaysia viewers

[@tand9854]

In the suspension. BRZ softer for daily driving. 86 stiffer. Can go read up.

[@samueschin4808]

Looks like the DC5 trying to challenge uncle 😮😮😮

[@jhf4930]

Nice❤

[@hemanthkumar8207]

BRZ + Uncle = genting road is kacang putih. This one must be fastest attempt to be on top.

[@boonaikkhoo9863]

Got Challenger! kan chiong...!👍🏻

[@marcusjylim9538]

"Oh my god" Switch 😂

[@djtan3313]

19:14 Don’t think a mx5 has enuff grunt to do that… Correct me if I’m wrong…

[@antoniobalentawak2599]

wish my granddad drives like you😀

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha - be happy you have a grand dad. I never saw mine at all

[@sallehasamad9543]

Uncle was just going slow on the DC5. He didn’t unleash his beast mode. Otherwise the DC5 would have just pissed in his pants 🤣

[@EdDieLov3KorEa1]

“This time he dint touch my aircon” 😂

[@user-ob1by7cr9k]

Sir, when are you reviewing the all new Mitsubishi Triton?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Donno when I can get a vehicle

[@harvard_lee]

The statement kids can sit at the rear, immediately my kid said you should get the car 😅. Thanks YS.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha, go for it Harvard!

[@harvard_lee]

@@YSKhongDriving noted, will call you if I need assistance 😜

[@petemorbius3936]

DC5 is good

[@Jimbong]

DC5 no match for your rally skills la Uncle Khong 😂

[@wenjian636]

It's about machine not skill

[@shauntan2266]

😍😍😍👍👍👍

[@ezekielk.3629]

Uncle YS is the only car reviewer in the world to use magnet to inform viewer on which part of the car is steel, aluminum or plastic instead of pointing or using cross-section graphs. Steady!

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha.

[@e.k.185]

The sound is very throaty. Is it some sound piped through the speakers or thats really is the engine sound?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Not too sure but it sounded raw.

[@nickwong2525]

GR86 and BRZ has piped in sound through the speakers.

[@samsam-oi5dr]

Just curious why cannot pump 95 97 petrol other Subaru carve engine can

[@kevinyeoh7612]

Can pump Ron95...no issue

[@kccheong1124]

I wish to know this BRZ 2023 uses RON95 or RON97?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Minimum is 93Octane so it can run RON95.

[@mustaqimmutalid6611]

i have a question. which car is better, brz or gr86?

[@YSKhongDriving]

They are same car with different badges

[@cyncyn4954]

Compare Gr86 which one is better?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Depends on which logo you like.

[@cyncyn4954]

@@YSKhongDriving but saw most of the video say Gr more powerful

[@independentnavbcdeveloper3342]

Uncle, what car is the white one?

[@YSKhongDriving]

DC5

[@philiptan2686]

i love the car when subaru announce the news, but got disappointed it only use ron 97 and above petrol only....

[@danial7525]

wont be a problem if you drive it only for weekends. but for daily hmm.. prepare urself hahaha

[@nlbb373]

U should drive ev

[@philiptan2686]

if an EV have the roaring sound like the ICE and have an equivalent amount of charging station, i wouldn't mind shifting to EV@@nlbb373

[@philiptan2686]

yup.... i do agree with your opinion, but its a bit too pity for all the fans out there that loved the car but unable to drive it daily..... @@danial7525

[@strawrysandwich6927]

is this car cheaper thn the GR86

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes I think there is a price difference

[@krishnachettiar]

Brother, just wondering why you never use sunglasses even when the sun is in your eyes.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Because when the sun is not in my eyes it can be dark with many shadows. Whilst the sun dazzles me for a couple of seconds I drive for like 18 minutes in shadowy areas. However, if a sunglass maker wants to sponsor me.....😀

[@BB-wz6bx]

If only the Aisin 6pseed AT would've come with a 4.1 or even 4.3 final drive. It could've been faster than the MT6, but as it is the AT is a lukewarm experience compared to the manual. All those extra safety system stuff are completely unnecessary, I mean... if someone does want a car like this I think they have some form of competence when it comes to driving.

[@YSKhongDriving]

I think it does quite all right for people who also need a daily driver. We don't need a race car - we just need a good handling car with good power and is fun to drive.

[@dixonli2994]

@YSKhongDriving yea... downsshift is the issue of the automatic. Long gear is the other. But for the price, It would be justified to get one manual gr86 and one auto brz lols.. what do you think, uncle? Btw I am auto brz 2023 owner, also own a mx5 nd1 soft top manual. :D

[@ezekielk.3629]

such issue can always be mitigate with ECU tuning and that's the fun about JDM. Manual is fun as a daily driver but when you do get stuck in peak hour traffic you wouldn't like to 3 > 2 > 1 then shift 1 > 2 then stop then shift again. But it all boils down to personal preferences and even the new 2024 GR Yaris comes as recommended with a 6AT by the development team & Akio Toyoda "Morizo" himself.

[@krk24]

surprised with the tires spec 215/40/R18, wider tires are better

[@YSKhongDriving]

One can always inch up.

[@kueiseong]

uncle u like this boxer engine?

[@YSKhongDriving]

I have nothing against it.

[@dixonli2994]

Very good drive the dc5 is a faster car. Brz has better driver

[@geannienee5955]

ok i want a dc5

[@YSKhongDriving]

It is a nice car.

[@fareez150]

Real manual car win

[@GreatGrandmasterWang]

Why is the guy that’s with you look scared? 😂

[@YSKhongDriving]

Does he? I don't know - he didn't say, and he asked to go again.

[@mikehalimchanabdullah2204]

Subaru BRZ / Toyota FT86 both car look like a fast car even in reality they isn't fast . Luckily the car engine didn't blow-up as most cars I seen .

[@shahrinram9848]

wrong timing. that DC5 should not be there..just made BRZ less desirable to own😬

[@YSKhongDriving]

It just so happened.

[@kataman4922]

What a race ! ⚓ 🇨🇵 \ 😀 / Excellent ! 🇨🇵 \ 😀 /⚓

[@Seramics]

11.03 what is that Civic Type R FK8 doing getting overtaken? Has he no pride? No skills? Or no balls? What's he doing in a FK8 chilling like that when a flying BRZ flew past. Unacceptable.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Some people like to do a chill drive.

[@user-zk1xf4tx1w]

Best looking car wld still be the Honda S2000/NSX, Nissan GTR/fairlady.

[@viggensaab2020]

Between this car and the honda type R FK8 , which car is faster going up getting ...both car driving by you. How abt coming down ?

[@YSKhongDriving]

The FK8R has about 50 horsepower more and has higher torque due to the turbo engine. In a straight line the FK8R would be faster. In a corner, driving skill does matter. Downhill, the BRZ would be very agile

[@viggensaab2020]

I wonder if that DC5 driver knows who wasnin the BRZ...

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes we were on the same drive.
