Subaru WRX Genting Hill Climb - I Never Expected This Car Could Be This Good! | YS Khong Driving
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I must admit I have been listening to the wrong people or perhaps I was prejudiced - when I drove this Subaru WRX (auto) for the first time I had to double-check the brochure to confirm that it was actually running a CVT - and if I have to choose a CVT, this would be the one I would choose.
Even in stock form, it is potent, and would make a great combo car for work during the week and double up as a weekend sporty and fun car.
And if you won't face any resistance from your other half (home minister) because this is a bona fide 4 door sedan, with a boot, and is an auto that she can drive to market too.
Do watch the video, and see for yourself just how well the WRX performs on our favorite mountain, and give it a like, share and subscribe.
Also, a word of thanks to that pesky little red car of Sze Jay's for keeping the pressure on all the way!

To those who wondering, subaru have 2 type of CVT which is TR580 (250nm rating )and TR690 (400nm rating). This WRX using TR690 and this is far more superior and it used on those high hp model for subaru.... Anyway most of people will still prefer conventional GB..

Thanks for the input!
This is Uncle YS best driving for 2024, fun sliding at multiple corners. maybe the slightly wet road condition made it more entertaining 👍👍
Subaru WRX is one of the most capable cars on the road! Used to own a 2008 5 speed wagon in Canada and it was unbeatable in the rain and snow😊
Awesome driving as usual Uncle! I think it's livelier having a passenger with you, excites us viewers even more with actual reactions on top of that excellent driving skills.

Yup Subaru WRX😊
the problem with subaru boxer that you want to up the performance ,you need to have the proper supportive mod or else it will just blow up as seen too many cases especially in the US, just tune alone won't do wonders but i still give credit on how good subaru has done to the cvt , the new wagon looks like a promising fun family dad car.
uncle still got pulling power and make girls giggle.
The road to Genting should be renamed Uncle YS Khong Drive in honour of the man who make girls scream 😂😂

Great video as usual. The drive looks very harsh and uncomfortable. Is that the case Uncle Khong? And how would you rate it against your Golf R?

The Golf has more power because it has been tweaked a little.

It's indeed a potent car, it's a good car. I can't even get this cvt gearbox car since we have one at home 😂. Thanks Uncle YS for purchase of the CVT gb car 😅
I almost thought that it is a Civic, due to its tail lamp 😁
too bad no sti on this platform, but the wrx is very well engineered and feel very composed...could use it as a daily as well...

Notice that Uncle Khong seldom checks what are tire makes and models on his Genting run. A good driver indeed let the set of tires adapt to his drive style than having the driver reconciles to the tires.

A good driver adapts to the car's characteristics. Arrogant drivets demamd that tbe car ahould match his driving style. I ser what the car can do and drive it accordingly, so whayever the tyre may be, doesn't matter - it is whatever that comes with tbe car, and cannot be changed for the drive.

For me, know what the car can do is more important. For eg, no point putting a race spec sticky car to a stock standard MPV as the whole car is not designed to be driven aggresively. It is more like putting a set of tyre based on vehicle spec, driver behaviour and the usage of the vehicle itself

Price wise, same as vw arteon equipped with awd. How does both compare drive wise.

The legendary question - Audi Quattro or Subaru AWD ?

Depends on the model and depends on the size of your wallet. Audi RS models are almost of supercar status, whereas this one is more affordable, but still fun.
I wasn't impressed by the CVT on Levorg (1st gen) 2.0T which is now WRX SportsWagon. The car felt heavy and the simulated gears were so fake, also can't get use to the sound of the CVT... I wasn't impressed by the Direct-Shift CVT on TNGA Corolla either (when it was released in Australia I got to drive it for ~3000km), 1 unique thing though - it has a start gear so it starts like a conventional AT and then transitions to CVT.
Front = subaru Rear = bezza

CVT should not be used in performance cars 😊 The high engine torque will cause premature failure on the belt.
