Hahaha, it was the sensation of the car slingshotting out of that bend, because it is downhill and slightly banked. When the road is clear you can take that one really fast.
This is my favorite D Segment in the market. Took it up Genting before and its lovely. The chassis is very interesting, can be comfortable and yet handles very well despite the tyre protest. Fit it with better tyre and this will be much more fun in touge.
Hi YS, It is indeed a lovely car with the right balance of performance & handling. My concern is on the reliability of the car especially the DSG. The notorious VW service centres compound the issue further. Would love to get your input , if possible. Thanks.
The DSG fiasco was 8 years ago. If the DSG is not good, don't you think they would have discarded it? And so many other brands are using it now. I have a 300+ hp VW running the same gearbox, 5 yes old now, and have no issues.
I initially wanted to get the Honda Civic 1.5 cause it was such an incredible all-rounder car in terms of performance, control, comfort/space and gadgets/safety features that came along with the car at that price. A friend of mine then suggested the Passat 2.0 which at first glance seems to be a decent D-class segment. Pricing wise, it's more or less the same with its competitors Camry and Accord but on paper, it somewhat falls short in the safety feature department and performance. The conundrum I'm facing ofc isn't about the Passat not being a car that can hold its own, as shown by Uncle here, but is the car actually worth buying considering how it lacks certain key features. And I heard from another review on UA-cam that the in-car noise gets deafening once you hit 90 and above which is a big no no for me. Personally I'm not a car enthusiast but is it really worth the money I'm paying for? Or should I either go for Camry/Accord or select the Civic instead. (C vs D class doesn't matter much to me tbh, it's just what the Passat provides vs competitors that keeps me up at night)
In life, you should just go for what you like. There is never one product that will have all the features you would like to have. Take a step backwards and ask yourself about each of the features you are pondering. Do you need it? People will buy what they need, not what they want. Separate you needs and wants, then choose the car that satisfies most or all of your needs
The new Camry is also very quiet.For cars in this class, they do quite a bit for sound proofing and at normal road speeds you hardly hear anything but the tyres on the road. I would say they are very close, but we did not do a side by side test.
It would be a pleasure if you may have a comparison video between these two rivals and also accord side by side. That will interesting😁 Btw thanks uncle, enjoy watching your driving skills 💪
Hey, how does this new Passat compared to the pre facelift 2.0 highline Passat in the handling department? Especially since there is no more DCC and XDS
This one though I like the earlier one because of power. My reason only 1. This has a wet clutch same as the GTi. The other has dry clutch which has lotsa problems.
The Mazda 2.5 comes with a long list of bells and whistles, and costs a bit more. The Passat has a bit more in terms of torque, but overall horsepower is about the same. It comes down to brand preference at the end of it all.
Hi Mr Khong, how is the steering feel and suspension tuning like vs the prefacelift? I drove the prefacelift 1.8 TSI Comfortline Plus on 18" and I although the car was quite capable in high speed corners, the steering was exceedingly numb at high speed while the chassis was floaty. Didn't inspire a lot of confidence unlike the Mondeo and Mazda6.
The current Elegance has a firmer suspension and feels a lot better to drive. I believe the floaty feeling you got is a result of poor wheel alignment. I have driven the previous 1.8 before, and it definitely feels better than a Mondeo, and should be about the same as a Mazda6.
Uncle YS Khong, there are many people giving high appreciation to Camry TNGA about it handling performance. Mind to share what is your opinion comparing Camry and Passat regarding the handling performance?
We have both the videos on exactly the same road. Both are good handlers, with the Camry being a bit more comfortable, but the Passat makes more power, especially in torque.
Nice video uncle Khong, keep up the great work. However, just wondering from your personal opinion uncle, would you get a 150K+ Highline 2.0 Pre-reg or this Passat Elegance? Assuming not going to mod it, would prefer random sporty driving but most of the time driving normal. Thanks, uncle Khong and take care.
Why would an owner need to do 7.5k service themselves? That's really strange. The service interval is 15k as specified in the handbook. I also have a VW
@@YSKhongDriving Maybe is because they did stage 1 or 2? Not sure but if what they meant is better to do 7.5K self service then it would be quite a hassle even for a normal driver who won't mod it and occasionally drive sporty only. Btw uncle Khong, do you have any opinion on the new 7 speed DSG wet compared to the previous 6 speed wet DSG? Many thanks in advance.
We will try to put up some more videos. We do have a few back-logged, so can now catch up. Depends on my Video Editor, whether she is in the mood or not, hahaha.
Uncle YS can you arrange to test drive the Mazda 6 2.2D again on Genting Hillclimb? Also curious to know the difference of the driving feel in between Mazda 6 2.2D against this facelift Passat.
They are two very different cars. Both are about the same size, and oerformance is similar, but both handle differently. Best to test both and decide after testing.
Actually it felt okay in the driving department. You will only feel the difference, at the top of the rev band. The average driver will not notice any difference at all. And this one will save some fuel too. We have done a FC test as well.
If you like FWD, it's the Passat. 320i is RWD. The Passat is more comfortable, and a bit more powerful than the 320i, and there is less transmission loss for fwd vs rwd.
Uncle YS, I test drove the 2019 highline and it's a superb car (family version of Golf GTI). Havent tested this detuned 2020 version. Great review and informative. What's the 0-100 sprint time? Keep it up and stay safe
We did the Diesel. Right now we have the MCO in force. Perhaps after this is over, we can do it. At the moment we have a few videos left to edit, so they will be coming out in the next few days.
@@YSKhongDriving Hahaha! I believe you. I'm an owner of the older B8 2.0 tsi and I still cant take the grin off my face everytime I'm at the throttle, including the handling. Great car!
When someone test drive a car, is not just the speed and the skill in handling a power train engine. You misses out many important factors like looking out for blind spot, control position, cruise system, adjustment of steering wheel and seats etc....... watch youtube in "how to test drive a sedan", and that helps to understand what to watch out when buying a car than showing how to speed the car on the road.

@@edwardkok9596 I see. Interesting. I went to the volkswagen showroom the other day and I was told that the Volkswagen Vento 1.2 Tsi still uses the dry clutch DSG. Don't know about the Passat though. I'm confused.

And DSG means Direct Shift Gearbox, and the common name for this type of gearbox is DCT, or Dual Clutch Transmission.

mohd taufiq haha im really interested to know the speed of all cars at that particular area that uncle drove.. but he said the meter is over reading.. i dont know..
your reviews are good but my personal comment.i don really like the 2 screens in one picture,it doesnt look good. maybe u cn juz place one video at a time instead of two.juz my 2 cents.leave it or take it. i love your reviews btw. :)
I hope on next video please rate the perfomance to be exact. Please do not just generally say "not bad", " thats nice", "pretty good" . Maybe u shld say ; "9/10" for handling. It gives us, the viewer atleast more closer idea and ur shared experience instead of u show us ure enjoying and keep it for urself. Cheers
@@YSKhongDriving if u say frm the visual, we only can see the traffic and the weather. Not the perfomance. u reviewing a car perfomance going up on Genting, as a viewer would not now how good is "pretty good" for the handling, or how amazing is "quite amazing" for acceleration for example. All the best & be safe always sir. Cheers
@@YSKhongDriving Yes Uncle, I enjoy your videos and he/she actually brought up a good point. It will be more interesting with your rating included so we can kind of gauge the car for most of us lay-mans here.
Maybe Uncle can show those star rating kind of chart at end of every video. You can give how many stars for each segment like handling, acceleration etc etc. If rajin sikit can even put comparison chart between the tested car and its its closest competitor. Just my 2 cents Uncle ya 😅
@@fufu4695 D segment body is heavy. Its going fast, but u will not feel fast. Maybe u too used to drive small and lighter car such as myvi/axia to name a few. Lighter car, when pull feel much more obvious. U try driving 7 series. The pull is there, but u not feel fast, but indeed its going fast.

in terms of NVH perspective, honestly which one scores better in your judgement, either Camry or Passat Elegance?
The new Camry is also very quiet.For cars in this class, they do quite a bit for sound proofing and at normal road speeds you hardly hear anything but the tyres on the road. I would say they are very close, but we did not do a side by side test.

Enjoyed this video very much uncle YS. I am now in the market for a d segment car. Probably still gonna go for the Camry.
Yup, that's a good choice.
No harm.. go ahead.
Always heard about the reliability concern about VM gearbox. Has this been solved? Or is this new Passat comes with new gearbox?
I have replied this many times. There are no current issues.
Compare to Mazda 6, which one has better in handling?
Both are built with MacPherson Struts and multi link, but there are some differences in details. Each one handles well in its own way.
Hey, how does this new Passat compared to the pre facelift 2.0 highline Passat in the handling department? Especially since there is no more DCC and XDS
You only have the one setting. It felt like it was a little more firm than comfort setting. Was quite good in handling as you can see from the video.
im waiting for this video..thanks a lot..good day uncle..which one is better passat elegance or passat highline??its helps me to choose..
This one though I like the earlier one because of power. My reason only 1. This has a wet clutch same as the GTi. The other has dry clutch which has lotsa problems.
There is only one option in the current lineup.
1 question. How do u compare with previous 2.0 HL passat with 220hp.? Any difference in power band or almost the same?
It's almost the same. Driven at normal speed you probably won't feel any different.
Why does the dashboard lights keep blinking? N the cabin noise seems quite loud.
How is the DSG gear box problem on this model compare to 1.8 DSG dry type?
No problem.
Hi YS. How do you rate this Passat against the current Mazda 6 2.5L.?
The Mazda 2.5 comes with a long list of bells and whistles, and costs a bit more.
The Passat has a bit more in terms of torque, but overall horsepower is about the same. It comes down to brand preference at the end of it all.
Between a sedan passat and suv cx5 2.5t, which one do you think is better in terms of ride, power and comfort?
A sedan will always have a better ride. A suv gives you a higher seating position.

Watch it tomorrow, good night
Why so early? Maybe you are in a different time zone. Thanks!
@@YSKhongDriving Good Morning, got more important thing to do 😅😅😅
Hahaha, I can guess....
Max speed is 163kmh
I think the meter is over reading.The internal spring mechanism is faulty.
wow..u got good eyes..so long i want to know the speed of each car that uncle run..
mohd taufiq haha im really interested to know the speed of all cars at that particular area that uncle drove.. but he said the meter is over reading.. i dont know..
@@jackdaniels8350 Awkward for a brand new car to have faulty internal spring mechanism
Watching smile ratio..Heeeeeeee =)
your reviews are good but my personal comment.i don really like the 2 screens in one picture,it doesnt look good. maybe u cn juz place one video at a time instead of two.juz my 2 cents.leave it or take it. i love your reviews btw. :)
A lot of people like the split screen. Let us think about it. And thanks for being on our channel. Your comment is appreciated. Very much.
I hope on next video please rate the perfomance to be exact. Please do not just generally say "not bad", " thats nice", "pretty good" . Maybe u shld say ; "9/10" for handling. It gives us, the viewer atleast more closer idea and ur shared experience instead of u show us ure enjoying and keep it for urself. Cheers
Ok, will try to remember. But I thought the visual would be a good indicator.
@@YSKhongDriving if u say frm the visual, we only can see the traffic and the weather. Not the perfomance.
u reviewing a car perfomance going up on Genting, as a viewer would not now how good is "pretty good" for the handling, or how amazing is "quite amazing" for acceleration for example.
All the best & be safe always sir. Cheers
@@YSKhongDriving Yes Uncle, I enjoy your videos and he/she actually brought up a good point. It will be more interesting with your rating included so we can kind of gauge the car for most of us lay-mans here.
Maybe Uncle can show those star rating kind of chart at end of every video. You can give how many stars for each segment like handling, acceleration etc etc. If rajin sikit can even put comparison chart between the tested car and its its closest competitor. Just my 2 cents Uncle ya 😅
So this car is cheaper than the Camry.
Close.
My therapist
Hahaha, you are most welcome.
u record some road noise..
What do you mean?
Old man, you drove too fast regardless testing car. 😅
It's about being in control. Depends on your threshold of control.
Bro, pls watch the intro.
Uncle Khong is a Legend, not old man 🤫
He can drive up in reverse faster than any of us.
This car is slow
Compared to what?
@@YSKhongDriving not comparing to others but when u step on throttle the engine sound is there but the car is not going fast..
@@fufu4695 How about Passat Highline pre facelift? When depress pedal, does it move faster with less engine noise
Hahaha... u are so funny... LOL...
@@fufu4695 D segment body is heavy. Its going fast, but u will not feel fast. Maybe u too used to drive small and lighter car such as myvi/axia to name a few. Lighter car, when pull feel much more obvious. U try driving 7 series. The pull is there, but u not feel fast, but indeed its going fast.
