Hello from Canada. This video could not come at a better time. I just placed an order for a Mark 8 GTi today and it will be arriving from Germany between July to August. It looks just like this one in the video except it has 19 inch wheels and it’s in Dolphin Grey. Thanks for showing the prowess, capability and how confident inspiring this car is when it’s pushed close to it’s limits. Great video and excellent job.
At 15:50 that corner VW Golf really handle it well compared to other car , really predictable and very good power in climbing. More to fun weekend drive and performance race.
The only guy in whole Malaysia has such a great driving skills must be the insane uncle Khong. 😁If he claims to be No 2 nobody dares to be No 1. Keep up the good job uncle Khong. A lot of people buy good cars but don't have the driving skills to maneuver them. Don't know how it feels like to be in a car with 197kmh up the genting's road. 🤔
Hello from Singapore. Coming from a previous mk5 gti owner, your drive is superb showcasing ur driving and the gti sublime handling. Nicely done! Cheers 🥂
Wow golf mk8 gti is really something huh, making uncle ys sooo excited to drive, uncle ys test drive the r-line next pls, wondering how the 8 speed torque converter feels like driving on the road, really nice drive btw 👍 feel the enthusiasm 😁
I watched this video several times, you and I can’t see it but I suspect the passenger was shitting in his pants when uncle YS was doing about 200km/hr in that car on not so straight road…😂 VW should hire uncle YS as their ambassador. I bought a Tiguan few years ago after watching uncle YS drove a Tiguan up Genting, I did not regret that buy, now I am buying a GTI mk8 after watching him drive again. I won’t be able to drive like him, but I know the GTI can take a good bashing and easily put a smile on the driver face.
i love this video it gives me motivated i feel like a sitting in the passenger and i feel like driving a around the circuit and connected to the road I'm very impressed this car i love front-wheel-drive car it's fun to drive i think this car is lots of fun to drive
Fioyooo, the drive is splendid. Love the car handling is superb. Love the Co driver in the video. Calm and cool. Hope to see him more in the near future 😊
bro. i tengok pun takut but dammmmm amazing driving. salute la uncle. i dont know if i nak be in the passenger’s car. bukan pasal his driving but my heart cant take it kut. id be slamming the mat. hahaha
after seen uncle khong test the new golf gti ，superb performance and handling on hot hatch but suspension setup little bit stiff like i30n . my conclusion is still like on more for megane rs280. Finally see uncle khong so happy enjoying the drive and thank you for uncle khong test drive video.
Just shy of 200 km/h. But uncle YS Khong your driving that make me rewind many times. The top hill climb, you just hit the corner with ease and it seems you are so confident with car. For Uncle YS - screeching sound means not a good feedback
You need to be as one with the car. The car becomes part of you and you can feel every bit of grip, every bit of slip. And you know exactly what the car is doing every moment.
Such as lovely golf. And I owned a polo hatchback. Must mentioned the car always drive tidy. My wife always compares with her kia and she says the polo drive too steady.
normal person: nope! not gonna drive another vw me: driving a vw now and my next car will still be a vw 😈 but yes, this car is like telling uncle to push it harder cuz tidak rasa apa2, baru 45% of it's ability 😂
Walawei this car really give uncle Ys a true professional driver confident haha . Eventhooooo its just about 245hp.. but uncle Ys have proove that car its not all about HP and that tech feature people talking about haha
@@YSKhongDriving Yes Sir.. But actualy my point is u rarely point out something u really dont like.. Usually u will be more optimistic & positive about any issues regarding the car Sir😆
From most uncle videos, usually took about 5 mins from first guard house to Gotong Jaya roundabout. I wonder what's uncle best time when no traffic and with a really fast car....
It depends on which one I can afford. Definitely the R is faster and handles better on account of the AWD. If you can afford the R, go for it. If not the GTi is also a great car. In terms of driving, the GTi is more engaging: the R needs a higher level of skill to master, and is very easy to drive. In other words, the R has a much higher limit, and most drivers will never ever reach that limit.
@@YSKhongDriving even 330i has more hp and torque but this gti pulls way more faster.i know this is hatchback and more ligther.this car really stick on road.
The car seems very stiff & pointy.. Is it becoz of the differential the car have? I heard VW car is very grip & pointy to drive.. but if u drive over the grip limit, it will give away the easily & difficult to catch.. 😅
As a fast car, which one is better Uncle Khong? This or the Jaguar XE? I know there’s a massive price diff in Malaysia, the XE is almost twice the price of GTI, but from a driver’s perspective?
Wow! This is the fastest Uncle has driven a car on Genting Run. No joke, 197kmh. Wow! This MK8 is indeed a powerful monster
Hahaha.
198kph, to be exact 😜10:47
@@SeeMe-vf1yv @royalprince dont be a rat and mention the speed lor, mind the popo and support uncle
Myvi is faster…. No way the Gti can catch it
@@westwest123 keep on dreaming.. the myvi is no longer a king..
this is by far the fastest Uncle YS have drove. Surprised on how the car handle the turn. The handling is something else

Superb driving uncle YS! Even a normal golf would turn into a gti or R with u as the driver 👍🏻👍🏻😃
Uncle YS can drive at Nurburgring using this car. That 3 digit kmh on genting hill was spectacular.
Thank you, for your smart choice of words, hahaha. We do not encourage others to speed, and we only go fast when safe.😎
Hello from Singapore. Coming from a previous mk5 gti owner, your drive is superb showcasing ur driving and the gti sublime handling. Nicely done! Cheers 🥂
Thanks Eugene. Yes, the car is one that begs to be driven hard.
Had to check my replay speed. I think that is the fastest I have seen him drive. Great video!

Great car, driver and route combination. Feast to see this video. Really appreciate your skills at this age 👍. Thanks Uncle for the video.

I hv booked the red GTI, cant wait..,this will be my 5th vw 😅
Excellent.
He's the GREATEST CAR SALESMAN in Malaysia! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This is crazyy fast! This is the fastest drive by uncle i think.. and it is funny people want to have Adas in a race car..
Hahaha. Exactly.
I've enjoyed watching this drive as much as how Uncle enjoyed driving this car up Genting.
Wah...hebat lah👍👍👍 Uncle your fastest time! Less than 5 minutes. ( guard post to roundabout signage)
Tahniah!
Classy driver + excellent hothatch...what a combo
Salute your driving skills uncle👍. Hopefully one day can get to learn from you 🙏
If I have 200k budget, I will buy this golf GTI. But unfortunately, I just can buy iriz only😭😭
Slowly bro. I’ve waited 12 years to get one. And I can’t believed I can get it.
@@sinleong1979 Thanks bro. I can believe I can get one on future.
Slowly save and buy. Worth every penny
I've had all except the 6th.
Lol
Iriz better la woii
YS, your guest's face expression look like he is riding on a roller coaster doing ' violent sharp ' turning instead of on a Mark 8...hehe
Shaken and most definitely stirred
Uncle...U inspired me to book GTI
Man that car is fast and pointy. Can't imagine how the R would be.
Faster?
@@YSKhongDriving I think with it being pointy and plus the drift mode it'll be tail happy haha
Such a great run Uncle YS! Enjoy it.
Great.
看了大叔用mk7.5和mk8跑山的视频，速度差别好大！感觉上像是两台完全不同的车。马来西亚版mk8的虽然减配严重，没有雾灯没有一切辅助驾驶，但有一颗evo4就已经值回所有了。中国版的还只是evo3😭
after seen uncle khong test the new golf gti ，superb performance and handling on hot hatch but suspension setup little bit stiff like i30n . my conclusion is still like on more for megane rs280. Finally see uncle khong so happy enjoying the drive and thank you for uncle khong test drive video.
Thanks for your support.
Omg
That was very fast and defensive drive.

Ni kalau letak camera 360 dekat belakang mesti lagi best nampak macam main game. Syahdu 🤤
First time i see uncle push the car in the beast mode, very best. 👍
Speechless. Absolutely stunning GTI
I like the sound of the 4-banger.
Im on the edge of my seat watching this
Actually the car is very easy to drive.
Booked one the next day from Uncle YS after watching this!
Thank you again.
11:10 Uncle YS Khong Driving "part 1...wuhuu"..member sebelah...whattttt (dalam hati)..haha
normal person: nope! not gonna drive another vw
me: driving a vw now and my next car will still be a vw 😈
but yes, this car is like telling uncle to push it harder cuz tidak rasa apa2, baru 45% of it's ability 😂
Exactly You can see I really loved it!
Wow ! Nice . The faster driver-- genting . 🏎😎💪🏻
Phenomenal driving uncle!

Very Exciting Car to Drive Uncle!
It will be fun if can show the rear view camera + dashboard to show how it's compare to other cars behind
Got mine last week. Some say it’s bumpy especially in comfort mode, and yes, quite bumpy. Maybe Malaysian roads getting worse?
It is actually not so bumpy in Comfort mode.
Damnnn.. so fast la this gti. So jealous. 😍😍
Hahaha, maybe the driver also had something to do with it?
197 max speed Uncle driven. That's amazing
Awesome driving uncle YS. Quick question, would prefer this GTI MK8 or your golf R?
I just love to drive. Of course my Golf R is faster, but the GTi is more engaging to drive.
The DSG reminds me of the Sirocco R that I used to drive
Yes, same type.
at his age now, uncle shows no sign of slowing down on the wheel.
I love those off camber counter steers…
Salute your skills, if i got super car i will let you drive the car too. Nice car with the real nice driver.
10:35 it is so funny uncle YS said hopefully not see the "Wajalution" as same as in the previous video 😅
finally! awesome drive uncle, Golf R next? 😄
Hopefully
padu tu banggg vios sy pyun pancit nak naik genting
12:18 From all of the videos, I think this is the only time that Uncle said something he dont like on the car he drove up Genting Run😆
Gear shifting up?

Hi YS, hope you are well..
Question for you: VW Golf GTI or Hyundai I30N?
Cheers 🍻
If you want a manual, go for the I30N.
the best car!
Awesome driving YS. Lucky mun wai. Haha
I think you should be the next victim. I mean guest. 🤭
@Munwai Cheaw 🤣 I wish for so long d but still haven't got the chance to meet up with YS yet
Would love to see you drive a skoda octavia up Genting 🤤
Hmmm, have not seen one for ages but they are great cars
I'm considering to get either this or f30 330i, please advice Uncle 🙏
This one is more engaging, more fun, and more affordable.
No need for rear cam this time! So fast! Fuiyoh! 💪
Omg. ini memang racun
also, who cares about touch sensitive buttons? i'm busy driving the car, not busy fumbling around the a/c! hahahaha
And the AC was on!
Ys khong bila mau test merc glc 250
Uncle. This golf compare with arteon 4motion which one is more fun to drive? Quicker?
I rhink they are about the same speed but the driving is very different.
Adoi stimmmm woiii
Uncle, if u were to choose between golf GTI mk8 and golf r mk8, which would you choose?
It depends on which one I can afford. Definitely the R is faster and handles better on account of the AWD. If you can afford the R, go for it. If not the GTi is also a great car.
In terms of driving, the GTi is more engaging: the R needs a higher level of skill to master, and is very easy to drive. In other words, the R has a much higher limit, and most drivers will never ever reach that limit.
Feels like looking at an excellent sword on a legendary samurai!!!
How did it compare with your Golf R ? Yours is Golf 7 or 7.5 ? Will hear from you . Cheers
Mine is a 7, but upgraded to 319 hp, 450Nm torque, so is faster. Also on 19 inch wheels.
Uncle YS, can u review the new mk8 golf r line?
Stay tuned. Coming soon.
What’s the stock tires the car has ? RE005? Grip looks good
I know they're Potenzas, probably the RE005.
S005 potenza
Golf R line up genting please.
No car yet. Stay tuned.
Hey mr. Khong, which one is more fun this or fk2r/fk8r or a45s. Planning to buy one of those.
All are great cars
@@YSKhongDriving i will buy them all then 😂
wow very nice uncle 👍
Try the seat leon cupra!
This or Yaris GR or m340i for your daily drive & genting run?
All of the above, hahaha.
10:48m......198kmh...so niceeee
Some parts of the video may have been edited for dramatic effect.
Terbaik uncle .. R-line please ..
Stay tuned. Kita tunggu kereta
@@YSKhongDriving Wahh .. Your da best uncle .. 👍
Any chance to see you drive MK8 R up there sir?
Good chance. Stay tuned.
Looks like uncle can drive here with his eyes close 😝
Uncle how does this golf GTI drive compare to g20 330i ?front wheel vs
Rear wheel
It is different.
@@YSKhongDriving How nice if VW make RWD cars? Can easily challenge the so called premium Germans but it will add up costs by substantial margins
@@YSKhongDriving even 330i has more hp and torque but this gti pulls way more faster.i know this is hatchback and more ligther.this car really stick on road.
@@royalprince5878 That will be cannibalizing its own sales. You do have to remember VW owns Porsche which makes RWD cars.
izit improvement in term of handling and chassis compare to predecessor MK7 ?
Chassis and suspension, engine
@@YSKhongDriving still wonder how fast the new MK8R
The car seems very stiff & pointy..
Is it becoz of the differential the car have?
I heard VW car is very grip & pointy to drive..
but if u drive over the grip limit, it will give away the easily & difficult to catch..
😅
Don't hear. Some people try to impress you with their so called skills. The car is so easy to drive - you can see from the video.
Uncle, between golf gti and the new brz manual, which one would u choose?
Have not seen the new BRZ, so at least for now, it's the Golf. But one is FWD and one is RWD so they are very different cars. I want both.
@@YSKhongDriving hope u will test drive it soon after it arrives here.
Waa laa wei.... 💪💪💪
As a fast car, which one is better Uncle Khong? This or the Jaguar XE? I know there’s a massive price diff in Malaysia, the XE is almost twice the price of GTI, but from a driver’s perspective?
The XE is not as agile.
