"On the light. You need to be seen rather than to see", is an underatted advice that most of Malaysian dun understand when driving. Especially during raining, dawn, dusk & in the parking.

I love the way how uncle Khong shares the details with us.

the way he talks always remind me of the days when my late grandfather taught me how to drive.. He's a lorry driver since 1950's and he still drive really well even when he was 80 yrs old.. miss those days when he complained about my driving skills haha

Been waiting for Uncle to drive on XV and finally we get it :) I've owned XV almost a year and it is always an enjoyment driving this car, sometimes feels like addicted to it~ thanks Uncle for sharing very useful driving experience in this video!

Most owners of the XV are very happy....

Brilliant real-world demo of Subaru AWD / CVT / paddles generally and the XV specifically. Been driving Scoobies for years (primarily for AWD / reliability, not bothered about 'style' or 44 cupholders !) - Forester / Legacy / Outback / Impreza - even the old SVX. Picking up an XV next week and can't wait to try out it's features. Obviously softly-softly to start & could never hope (or want to!) equal Uncle's performance, but glad that the car can take over if/when I exceed my capabilities (or common sense!) and get me out of a pickle. Hat off and total respect, sir!

Super sir, a proud Malaysian and do full throttle on Malaysian rainy Genting road. I like when you say it slips a little. Others may shrinks but you smile. Our rally Champ a bit of safety tip - lights on.

Nice watching you back driving after so many months being locked down due to pandemic. I hope this will continue until everything’s back to normal. This is more interesting to watch because it’s raining ☔️ and misty, more challenging and the AWD system will be tested on this condition. Great watching you.😂😂😂👍👍👍

The only genuine pure 'reviewer' in Malaysia and he knows what he's doing . The rest of reviewers just talking like 'tin milo kosong'.

Best car review up and down Genting I've ever seen.

I’m glad KZread recommended your channel. It’s my first time to see a review of XV ( or any vehicle for that matter) while under the rain.

Thanks for watching our video. We have quite a few wet drives. Ours is a small channel, and sometimes it rains when we get there. Rather than waste the effort, ee do the test run in the wet, driving very carefully of course.

Owned one (non-GT) 2 months back to ferry my family on & off the beaten track of Sabah & re-enjoy AWD (this time S-AWD) when i'm alone.. Uncle YS's spirited driving test + satisfying laugh + high smile ratio = one happy owner! 🥳 Thank you sir & drive safe all.

Thank you! I love your video , i most like is all your genting run video XD always made my working day brighter and feel with joy as i am a automobile enthusiast

The XV does look very relaxed in the wet. It's not surprising to see why Subaru have the best 4 wheel drive system in the world. Another educational drive sir, good advise for the less experienced drivers out there. Take care sir and looking forward to your next video!

Watch 11.20 - 11.50 of the video as he hit third gear with paddle shift(even that hard to notice) and give room and respect to a motocylist. And he press the pedal with ease towards 140km/h and take the curves on a wet surface. Wow, manly. Even Jeremy Clackson dont dare to do that and he retires. Hat off sir. Watching your clips in details as you give respect to Subaru 45 years of boxer engine legacy

Wow... Awesome drive uncle. Carrying such speed under the conditions in such a composed manner. I remember rushing down many years back in a Toyota SEG manual under similar conditions and it was both 'fun and scary' with 'incidents' at almost every turn... If only I had an SAWD vehicle...

Thank you Brandon - good words to see when I open up the comments section.

I used to own the first generation of Subaru XV 2.0 i-P. Drove it for 4 years before selling it off. I had no issue with the car, only had to buy a sunroof box as XV's boot was rather tiny. Can't fit my daughter's stroller and luggage at the same time.. hahaha Driving wise. It is brilliant! Especially in the rain where most cars are driving on the higher ground to avoid the flood, XV would just cruise easily. Fuel consumption and maintenance are just like normal Japanese car. I kinda regret selling it as it was my first family car. But I had to get a car with bigger boots. By the way, good driving Uncle. I wish this video was done earlier. It would have made me keep my XV much longer.. hahaha. Take care Uncle!

Agree with Uncle YS, I drove Ford Fiesta R5 at Dirt Rally 2.0, throttle control and braking control is very important. 😊😊

take care, Uncle Khong. Weather is cold these days.

owning a 2021 XV for a year, its very fun to drive, you can feel it's able to full throttle pulling out of apex. it has too much grips makes you want to have more power.

Excellent AWD demonstration. Remember the quality and newness of the tyres will be critical in these wet conditions. [A new set of tyres is cheaper than an XV]

Uncle Khong, you are a pro. Love the way you drove and the way you handled those dangerous corners. You are amazing. I'm driving Subaru XV 1.6. After seeing your video, I feel more confident with my vehicle. Thank you so much.

The truth is I had accidentally trapped myself in wet road and sharp cornering at Cameron Highlands twisty roads yesterday. My whole car skidded all the way to the left. But without panic. I leave up the throttle and adjust my steering to the left to make it straight line again.
