Honda Jazz 1.5 V (Pt.2) Test Drive: Genting Hillclimb - Which is Better? Jazz or City? 

The Jazz is my project car and I've upgraded to Swift lowering springs with UR front bars and rear anti roll bar, upgraded to Akebono brake pads with Michelin PS3s. The engine and CVT are completely stock and untouched. With these minimal handling mods the Jazz is a cornering monster on the hill climb. The outstanding thing about Jazz in stock form is it's lightness, and is even more noticeable during hill climb. The car is so light and nimble that so many corners are now no longer relevant. I use the brakes more for positioning purposes rather than actual braking, especially the uphill climb last few downhill turns. Many cars back off there while I can continue accelerating. The only thing is the rear dampers are slightly soft and the sag can be felt when exiting sharper U corners. Just need a bucket seat to hold myself in place.

I think you should start giving the cars your own rating like a smiles rating. Example, 7/10 smiles :D

I always like your test car videos because of your cameras views keep me enjoying your driving experience like i am sitting next to you. Good job Abang Kong 👍

Uncle khong i always remember when i was young all those nissan sentra taxi genting driver drive like pro uphill and downhill genting.I couldnt imagine how many trip they can make one day from kl to genting.you remind me of the old days.

Will you be comparing the Jazz Vs the Yaris?

if MT with more fun,but malaysia never bring in😪 nice driving skill uncle~

On days I have too much to do but I want to enjoy taking a spirited drive in my Yellow Honda Fit, I like to watch this video. Thank you.

Hi Uncle Khong, I grew up watching and learning driving skills from Mr Harvey Yap, Mr Haniffah Yoong, Mr Karamjit Singh, Mr Zulkifli Hassan and from you at local rally and track events. Your current efforts to produce hill climbs videos is awesome in educating local drivers to understand and learn of what it takes to be a safe and skillful drivers. Keep doing it while you are in good health and capable off. I wish that some of the local mechanics will also makes car performance upgrading videos in a proper and safe manner covering chassis upgrading, braking, suspension, steering and engines. This will contribute towards educating younger generations who are enthusiastic about spirited and skillful driving in a safe manner. Appreciate your kind effort! Awesome!

Lately uncle your driving up Genting getting more spirited and 'furious'. For whatever the reason it may be, I really enjoyed the drive. Thumbs-up!

Since you had driven the MyVi 1.5 and now the Jazz, which gives a better drive and handling? Please omit your comment on the paddle shift in the Jazz. 😂. Your expert opinion on power delivery, CVT and Standard auto gearbox and car handling. Thank you. 😁

Exhilarating drive 👍 reminded me of the Mini. As always great video YS. Thank u very much

Many of these cars may be slept on due to their lack of power. But uncle really show me that any car also can squeeze power also xD

Your driving skills is very professional Mr Kong . Wow impressive . Former cham . Legend stay legend . Love your channel and keep it up 🔥🔥

Khong, your videos are excellent! you are very informative and your content is fun to watch. moreover, you are an excellent driver. your work is highly appreciated, keep making more of such videos.

Looks fun! I wish there is a display of speedometer and rpm to look at in live

Thank uncle for the review! The review and demonstration are very helpful and informative at the same time!

I bet after the trip, that Honda "Jazz" become Honda "Rock" coz kena bantai kaw2... road bump pun jalan... 😂😂😂

I’m not an engineer, but look like steering size need smaller bit 1 inches? By the way, nice content, great driving skills. A bit overpriced laa this Jazz in my opinion. Love this video 👍🏼❤️ Uncle Khong is the most skilled drivers among Malaysian RU-vidrs!

Like for the honda jazz test drive video👍🏻

At 6:10 uncle used the universal hand sign for drivers meaning “wtf” hahahaha. Btw nice driving uncle.

Not bad, it can't compare with Myvi. Better with Iriz. This road sharpen Uncle Khong Driving skill a lot. Next year Uncle Khong can blind fold to drive on this road already. 😅

I love your driving videos. I guess almost all new cars handle good. i never heard you call a cars handling bad. do you remember any car you driven that handled bad ? why its bad

Nice going sir. This is my dream car 💕 thanks for making a wonderful review. New subscriber here from Philippines.

can test drive ford fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost?

Please test out the Jazz Sport Hybrid (17) as well if possible :)

Awesome drive up.... I do hope some drivers would be aware of their surrounding 😅

If got chance I would like to tag along one day for a drive. 😄I always enjoy your video uncle Khong especially the genting drive.

its the Singer not just the song. Keep it Up!!!!!

I love your videos sir! I'm a huge fan. I was wondering do you left foot break? People find that my left foot breaking is odd in America. Considering that I drive a Toyota Toyota 4runner I left foot break because its frankly easier for me to manage the vehicle in rush our traffic and highway driving.

So pro. Thumbs up! 👍

Uncle..I just want to ask.. Do you prefer jazz or honda city more?

Hi uncle can you make a video only the technique of your driving(eg taking corners and braking technqiue judgment and soo on) and how you know the limit of the car.

Interesting that you brought up the seats... I read about this on a affiliated Honda dealer forum years ago where people criticized the previous gen Fit/Jazz for wide unsupportive seats, and someone provided valid feedback. Honda tries to cater for all types and shapes of people, but Honda by sales volume is much more prominent in the UK, Germany and North America (CA /USA) where the average male us at least 5 feet 9 inches and more that 6ft more often than not. The female average was also 5 foot 7 inches and above. It is not justifiable financially and logistically for Honda to make one seat type per model and /or region, so they try to strike a balance, which means vehicle seats and controls are a bit larger than what would be perfect for the average Asian (Japanese people specifically who have a smaller frame, as there is also a misconception that Chinese people are smaller, but one has to consider nutrition, income, geographic location, etc especially considering the size of China and the global Chinese population in general. From a western perspective they generalise Asians as Chinese, Japanese or Koreans, hence the rationale). So the long and short of it is Asian cars are actually made for the west more than the east. Hyundai / Kia are a perfect example of this, from reliable but emotionally unappealing cars from the early 90s to basically the Asian equivalent of a European car. If you didn't know the design language and brand it could easily pass off as a European manufacturer. Even the ride quality is European firm, and not oh so comfy Toyota / Lexus pillowy.

Your driving skill is awesome. New subscriber her in the Philippines. Stay safe sir!

In your honest opinion la uncle, which one do you think better overall between this Jazz 1.5 & Myvi 1.5 AV 🤔

Uncle can u put one camera to focus on meter console...so we also can enjoy engine character when u driving.....sorry just suggestion..

Any car driven by Mr Khong would perform well...🙂

I'd like to see you do a review on the latest Mazda 2 pleaseee that'll be so awesome

Uncle, you covered honda city genting uphill or not?

All kind of cars can be driven for genting genting highlands if you are the only passenger in the car. The question is how often do you go to genting alone for a typical holiday?

Compare with the Myvi, how to do you rate both of them in term of handling and raw power ?

I like your driving skills👍

Steady uncle lyan corner👍

Oh yeah here come 🔥🔥🔥

May favorite car with may favorite driver.

New myvi interior especially dashboard design layout, looks alike jazz

Civic tc genting test drive please!

I have the same jazz. One year old. Do you find the car is very bumpy when hit bump? It looks like it is slow to sattle when hit bump or bumpy road.

Excellent driving Uncle Khong. Between the Myvi, Iriz, Yaris, Jazz, Mazda 2, Picanto, Rio, which one has the best handling & NVH in your opinion? I'm driving a Bezza now. I'm finding that the car is too big and it's handling is not very good. So when I get rid of it, I'd like to buy a hatchback that handles well and has good NVH.

pls try top speed?

Hi uncle Khong, can u do a review of Perodua Bezza 1.3 premium X for the Genting Hillclimb please thanks?

Uncle K,... U make speedy turn around the corner that cars or objects are not visible .. What if got a car in front? Do u have someone monitoring the traffic ahead or any drone flying ahead?

For me, small engine car is more fun in touge road. We can floor it without worrying too much of throttle control. And the lesser weight also mean better weight shifting and less braking, thus more fun. Edit: How dare you honk & chopped the King of the road 🤯

Maybe you should put the other gopro at the dashboard meter. I see the other gopro no feed in the video. Put small size into video as the face cam to see the speedometer of the car. Maybe smaller than the face cam screen size.

Hi uncle. nice review. nice skills. just want to ask. is it Honda Jazz sensitive when they use Sport Mode. maybe can effect on the engine or something in the long term. as i know , honda jazz is more to relax driving.

Some curious question Uncle Khong, how does the handling of both Jazz and Yaris in comparison? How about City vs Vios? On genting road like this. Which car bites the road better and sharper steering input?

feels good man :D

No 0-100 video???

uncle, any chance to do yaris driving review?, i really enjoy this video and would like to know your comment on yaris and comparison with jazz :D

mmg genting ni makanan dia lar.. hahah terbaik lar uncle.. dah mcm tgk initial D in real life.. bapak takumi ajar drive.. wakakak

Which one power jazz or myvi 1.5?

Did you notice a lot of vibrations going into the cabin at high speeds?

No need for a Nissan Skyline... just get this...

Hi Uncle Khong, great video! would appreciate it if you could do a genting climb with the Vento TSI 1.2. Thanks!

How does this compares to the new Yaris?

Can u make one with the suprima s 😁😁

Uncle Khong, if got chance i wanna sit next to you on a genting tour and can help u with the shooting cause I am videographer + car enthusiast...hehe

Uncle I'm in dilemma, which one would your recommend for long term usage?which one will do better for economy and maintenance? Honda City Hybrid or Toyota Vios

I noticed at some point in the video, some car in the way are reluntant to keep left and give way to Uncle Khong car. Is it because the car is a small car?

Hello ys..in you opinion which 1 the good jazz or the myvi climb the hill handling and the fuel seve.tq

Love it

Do you switch off the aircond while driving uphill?

Uncle khong, can do review of kia picanto??

Uncle what brand new car u suggest below rm100k???
