Honda Accord 2020 [Genting Hillclimb] - How Does the 1.5l Turbo Fare? | YS Khong Driving

[@dinfinity85]

This is how a gentleman in a rush drive. With a smile and say 'thank you' everytime other cars let him overtake 😀

[@Seramics]

YS Khong. You are on form today! The best driving ever I seen from your channel and I watch a tonnes of your Genting videos. You visibly improved since the early KZbin videos where you are slower. Really level up and shows even a very experienced driver can improve. Master of Genting liao. Your video brought countless joyc to car enthusiast like me. Thank you boss.

[@vincentbu9701]

Yes finally!!! Every car is a race car under sir hand!!

[@TheBaddWarrior]

The first time the camera fell off it startled me till i jumped off my chair, superb uncle as always.

[@HR15DE]

wow definetly you were pushing harder than usual videos for sure. amazing to see what these cars can actually do. amazing drive. theres no other channels pushing cars like this specially in SEA. keep it up YS never stop.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thanks for your support.

[@maceharris7656]

😳HOLY SH#T!!! He scared me just watching him drive on my phone. I had no idea a stock 1.5 turbo Honda Accord was capable of those kind of maneuvers. Most impressive. 😳🤯

[@tazwarhossain5283]

Watching Uncle YS just brightens up my day, love from Bangladesh🇧🇩

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thank you!

[@jamsbong]

The simulated gears on the CVT really helps figuring out what speed the car is going. Much better experience. There is a high pitch whine from the transmission. I suspect the CVT won’t last if driven hard. The car handles very well for a large sedan.

[@mashiakira7783]

Yeah heard it too. Sounds like ambulance.

[@theking54077]

It will last as long as you change the fluid regularly people need to do research on modern Honda cvts they’re quite reliable I never hear of them failing

[@HotRod16]

I thought I saw the meter tops 160kmh. And the corner seems nicely taken. Honda really perfecting it. Nice drive uncle despite the distracting loose stuff.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Videos are sometimes sped up for dramatic effect.

[@kenharris7194]

For a front wheel drive vehicle, the Accord handles well. I have the 2018 Accord EX and I have been very satisfied with the ownership for 2 years. No repairs or any issues other oil changes, wheel balancing and an alignment.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Excellent. Thanks for the feedback.

[@chooikamvin1366]

Uncle's driving so professional.

[@mohamadnizam5615]

Uncle Khong always makes a sedan car looks like a sportscar

[@Altruistic00]

If any of you guys driving a CVT car, please do the CVT fluid change more often (according to your driving style) & do a proper clutch re-adaptation too. Once you start neglect the cvt, when the steel belt inside breaks, it will be a catastrophic damage to the gearbox. Non of those repairing just the valve body like on normal AT. It is in my opinion that large sedan like this shouldn't have small sized engine, no matter how much the power output is. NVH & luxury should be more of its selling point. It does sound kinda rough too & that cvt whine is pretty noticeable or maybe it's just the mic picking more sound than it should. Probably the car could use with more sound insulations tbh.

[@redyung3311]

Honda using torque converter cvt, there is no clutch in this cvt. Hence it is smooth like conventional AT and no traffic jam inching problem of a clutch over heating cvt.

[@redyung3311]

That whining is from the typical cvt belt... if we take out firewall and sound insulation ... it will be super noisy hahahaha.

[@1992vinod]

I own a civic and let me tell u this.Ur perception that cvt is noisy is correct.However after 3 years owning this and this is my conclusion.U will 98 percent of the time vl not accelerate hard and u vl nvr hear cvt whining.The more faster u go,the lesser sound u hear.This cvt have all my passenger say the car is so comfortable and nvr had anyone complain on whining.Power is more than sufficient at 4k rpm.

[@anandnainar3590]

I love the distance between the car and drain when you take corners!

[@terragaia7092]

Uncle YS Khong should make it a tradition where he test the car without knowing the type of tyres then make a reveal later to have a more precised assessment. Edit: Also I can say the CVT perform well I think. Not as lagging and unresponsive or else the drive would be difficult to connect between the car.

Awesome Uncle YS Khong! love ur driving skill... the best ever I have seen so far... and yes, this Accord 1.5TC-P the best value D segment everyone can buy... thats why we actually brought one, Just after MCO 1.0 lifted... class leading interior space, best ADAS system in the market and very powerful too

[@muhamadrosly4058]

How was the the CVT gear box performed? Is it that whiny? And the ride comfort? If it wasn't for CVT, I would get this accord instead opted for camry ..and its CBU

Amazed how the top range revs were used most of the time with the CVT. Indeed, there must be quantum gain in development and refinement. A wonderful demo of how well the CVT matches for the engine size and tune. Er now how about a comment of the every day drive to market character?

Nice drive Uncle YS. Seem very fast today. I had 2 accords and they were very nice cars. Sadly this one has very poor quality materials especially the plastics on all touch points. At this price, the Passat is the winner for tech, build quality, finishing, and maybe handling too. Honda will surely lose some customers to Luxury brands too. Good luck Honda 🤞

[@royalprince5878]

How is Passat when it comes to ride comfort and how it compares to Accord

[@muhamadrosly4058]

Dude..the 9th gen that I used to won also not really good in term material quality. One of first batch all new accord 9th gen when it was launched in 2013. And for RM140k++.. it was not that up to standard. Some might say I'm to fussy but trust me. The disc brake always gave me a run for my money. And the wind intrusion also very distracting. Not to mention the firm suspension that will not be appreciated by anyone at the back. Only one thing I like which is the engine that thrive on rev. And conventional 5 speed auto . After getting fed up with quality issue and not really helpful Honda service centre, I have sold it. And now happy with my XV70 2.5V camry.

Hi Arcturo, all the way feim Columbia. Welcome to the channel.

[@kueiseong]

The camera bag that knocking around? And do u take corners not in a single turn but in smaller sterling turns?

[@TW-hk2uw]

Looking at how you handle the car both going up and down the slopes, how much braking do you need to have to control the car especially taking the corners.

[@YSKhongDriving]

The amount of braking depends on how much you need to reduce the speed by in order to make it through the next corner. Knowledge of the car, understanding its braking capabilities, knowing the imminent corner are all factors to determine when you brake, and how hard you brake. Most of the time we brake hard.

[@tenweipeng2199]

Would appreciate if uncle khong would sometimes give some critics or opinions on improvement instead of keep telling the viewer "good" "not bad" etc... I am sure all cars have their pros and cons..

[@YSKhongDriving]

We are mainly testing the car performance on those roads. How well or badly the car handles can be seen. If I can have my rathers, it would have 400 horsepower, all wheel drive, and a manual gearbox, so what should I say, when reviewing this Accord? Then again, maybe 400 horsepower might not be enough. Thus all we can do is evaluate the car based on what it is. Of course there are always basic upgrades that anybody can do - brake upgrades, suspension upgrades, engine upgrades and others - but.....

[@wongbin3427]

This new accord is very powerful and i think handling is good,thanks uncle ys
