YS thanks for detailed descrip of the instrumental panel! Ok video abit go.yang but ur coverage information is v good showing all the Honda bells and whistles. Oh grab handle 4 is good; sometime elderly pax with aching body parts of injuries really find these items v useful.
Sorry about the goyang. Ah, I see your point about the grab handle for the elderly. I am elderly, hahaha, but have not found that use yet, but will try.
Uncle, why do car manufacturers love to make the wheel rim pattern that doesn't turn the same direction as the wheel spinning (On this Accord, the right side pattern turns clockwise while on the other side turns anti-clockwise when going forward). I think Honda could do better with the infotainment display as that large bezel looks like it belongs in a car 10-15 years ago. Maybe also integrate the GPS screen to extend to the rev counter display too since it's already fully digital.
i love honda malaysia effort always give the latest engine here in malaysia 1.5 turbo (201 ps) "most powerfull accord engine in ASEAN better than indonesia thailand vietnam " UMW toyota just give 2.5L old engine(184ps) on camry meanwhile thailand got new 2.5 dynamic force engine (209ps)
@@anas7412 that why i said honda accord malaysia is the best in ASEAN not the best in entire world, i know other market like US got 2.0t and also come with 10speed automatic or 6 speed manual
Firstly, I think stapler is better than udang which is the other thing that people refer to when talking about that rear light. Secondly, I agree with uncle YS, the electric boot is a good show off feature but it's faster to close manually and u don't have to worry about other people who slam your electric boots cause they don't know about them... 😂
Kudos YS Khong, truly enjoy your reviews and driving. Would like to share some feedback with you if thats ok: 1) Really great channel and love to watch your reviews as a true expert. Very handy information and love the context and delivery as well as the driving experience and scenes that you share. Would be awesome to see you vlog trips to europe, japan, US to visit some of the temples of motorsport and take us along (i.e. nurburgring, jp performance, hyndai N etc) 2) Driving Experience: I noted that in some of your genting drives (i.e. honda civic) you drive too aggresively for public road usuage and push others off the road (i know you say 'thank you' but for other road users a fast approaching and closing car from behind can be very scary and is actually dangerous), don't indicate and exceed speed limits. We are all motor enthusiasts and love seeing a pro like you at work but it might be helpful to temper this a bit on public roads and use your reach to educate others as well that roads like the genting drives are no racetracks and that we need to look out for each other on the road. Would love to see you do more stunts and performance drives on closed roads / racetracks to fully enjoy it. Again, really love your content, please keep it up. You have a great opportunity to be an embassador for safe road usage as well as performance driving 👍👍👍 Your foreign kapchai riding friend.😉
Is there any way to find certain part #s from the malaysian accords. The us accords don't have the lane watch, guys strut lifters, trunk lifter arm covers, ect like yours does
turbo could be the Mitsubishi Heavy Industry (MHI) TD03 while civic 1.5 is using MHI TD025 from factory. There was a nice explanation about the Honda Civic Turbo Upgrade Kit from Kazuto Garage. well its just a guess
Next you should test drive and make a comparative inside out study between the new accord and the new camry. This is something many potential buyers are waiting.
Good spec, but pity about the styling and its oversized design. The taillights are especially outdated. Anyways, Honda generally makes good cars, and this is one of the better spec ones. Great review sir, very informative! 👍
The best is to drive, slowly, keep it below 3,000 rpm for about 5 minutes, after which it will be warmed up completely. Always start driving as soon as possible after starting. This will warm up the engine faster.
@@YSKhongDriving not really. Compared to hondas, toyota cars seats mostly thicker so the seating position is not low, as a result long distance drives become tiredless and comfortable.
@@anandsamy5194 agree.. Happy with the camry comfortness and conventional 6 speed.. It was because of the cvt that has made me chose camry instead of accord. Love the space and engine of accord.bit in the end. Reliability wins. As per claim by most toyota's owners. And also As an ex owner of accord 9th gen dealing with some technical issues that never ends i have vowed No more accord and I opted for camry. And kinda happy with it.
Wow honda you make a lot money from using same engine on civic, crv and accord... come on pls la 1.5 on big car I know its got turbo but we are not in USA to change car in few years... malaysia car very expensive most of people here change car minimum 5 to 9 years that's to long for 1.5 turbo last .... I think 1.8 turbo just nice for huge car like accord and CRV
Its different actually..Accord engine is the same as US Civic Si engine with Vtec where Civic does not have. Piston ,Conrod all are different even the spark plug is different.
Im not so convinced with this new Accord..for a 1.5T its just plain ridiculously overpriced..well if its as good as claimed why until now i have not even seen one on the road?? I see more of the beautiful 2.5 Camry on the road which i reckon is more bang for buck...almost similiarly priced...
So you evaluate car worthiness with engine displacement? Go and laugh those people who bought the 1.5cc 3 series and c class. As long as the engine can pull the car effortlessly, doesn’t matter actually, and you will appreciate how much money you save from paying road tax comparing 1.5cc vs 2.5cc and fuel.
Also the type R has the 2.0T motor. The american accords share the same powerplant as the Civic type R. There's a huge difference between the 1.5 accord and the 2.0 accord
Automatic, CVT, DSG & whatever.....sound like a car for pussycats.....with all the power, we need a gentleman's car....i.e. manual transmission stick, so that uncle YS can thrash it to the red line....like in the good old days.

It's made for American sizes lol
9:50 this is what i am waiting for .....
Thank you uncle khong, really learned a lot about car from your explaination 👌🏻👌🏻 keep it up uncle
Uncle, super natural presentation 👍🏻
Yes new vid. I'd like to thank your Proton X70 standard video for making me make my decision regarding the Proton X70. You got a fan in Brunei!
uncle got fans in the whole world
Hi, Donovan, you are welcome, and thanks for being on our channel.

The 2.0T in the U.S. is fantastic. But I wish we had some of the Malaysian options like 360° camera and panoramic roof.
360' camera is available in TC-P variant and also comes smart parking system
what about the ground clearing compared to civic?

Thank you.

I have no info on that. Thanks for sharing.
Accord always a real man's car . . .
Oh no.. im not so sure about the rear lights 😟
Cant wait Uncle to review the new upcoming Civic 2022, body styling almost like this accord
Coming
Next you should test drive and make a comparative inside out study between the new accord and the new camry. This is something many potential buyers are waiting.
Boss.... Please review nissan serena c27 2020
Does the TC variant have different wheel design?
Not sure. Have not seen the TC
Seeing the new accord makes me wonder which parent gave birth to the 4th Gen Jazz/Fit.
As viewer n car expert, are u recommending for us??
We review the cars, you make the decision. If you like the car, please go ahead and buy - yes, it's a great car.
Early!
Good spec, but pity about the styling and its oversized design. The taillights are especially outdated. Anyways, Honda generally makes good cars, and this is one of the better spec ones. Great review sir, very informative! 👍
Thanks. I suppose Accord is for the older set.
Hi Mr.khong... after test drove it.. and compare to camry? Which one is better in term of
Comfortness?
NVH?
Features?
Value for money?
I think the Camry wins on ride and comfort. The Accord wins on power.
Whoa atas sikit got shock abosorber...accord mah hahahahah
Uncle, u are getting younger. Btw, wonderful review.
Hahaha. Thanks.
💯
Have you ever drive at Tianmen Mountain Road?
Dont think so.
Uncle, please take the Accord Sport 2.0 turbo with the 10 speed automatic for a spirited drive - it’s almost as fast as the Civic Type R!
Great idea but dont think the car is available here.
Uncle, waiting for your Subaru XV GT walkaround video
Soon. We have many videos on the waiting list. Stay tuned.
Hi Uncle, for this type of new technology car, how long to warm up after a cold start?
The best is to drive, slowly, keep it below 3,000 rpm for about 5 minutes, after which it will be warmed up completely. Always start driving as soon as possible after starting. This will warm up the engine faster.
Hey uncle how do you compare the accord tcp vs the mazda 6 2.5
One has a cvt, the other has a 6-speed auto.
@@YSKhongDriving that is 1 difference I ask is the mazda 6 2.5G vs accord tcp
Depends on what you prefer. Having said that, you should test drive both and decide which one you want.
@@YSKhongDriving what do you prefer
i thought the wheelbase longer but overall length abit shorter vs the previous gen?
You could be right. We only wanted to point out the increased wheelbase.
@@YSKhongDriving keep up the good job uncle.. side by side with camry review?:)
camry or Accord which 1 drive better ?
Accord, hands down!
H... Handsome. 😎😎
Not sure of 1.5L turbo. Saw Scott Kilmer video and he says that small cc engine gives more pressure to engine, lead to reliability issue.
Well, you judge for yourself.
Most people said most ugliest accord ever designed... But even for the best selling c segment also been the same situation back then 🤔
Its a matter of opinion. As for me this is the most handsome and advance Accord that I can remember.
Way to go Honda!
If you asked me this gen accord had the most nice front but rear is missing something... Just out a spoiler there then it's a whole new dimension
Honda Accord is a comfortable car
im late to comment but my previous gen accord got the strut bar as stock and this new gen doesnt have it xD
Maybe this one does not need it.
Recomended car or not uncle???
Yes, if you are looking for a D segment car. And you can book through shop.yskhongdriving.com
Civic and Accord seats are so thin and less tigh support make the rear too spacious.
How thick is thick? I thought that as long as you can sit comfortably, it is okay, and not the thickness.
@@YSKhongDriving not really. Compared to hondas, toyota cars seats mostly thicker so the seating position is not low, as a result long distance drives become tiredless and comfortable.
@@anandsamy5194 Yes. I sat in Passat Accord Camry. Passat & Camry seats are long, thick and have good thigh support. Accord out.

The important thing. It's CBU. Not ckd like this accord
the price can get others 2nd conti car. but its not bad la for honda
R for race ?
Laugh die me 🤣
This car is like a wolf in a sheep skin.
It is actually quite enjoyable to drive.
@@YSKhongDriving shall go and give it a try. Thanks for the tip.
the tails lamps for me it's so ugly like hyundai..
Different strokes for different folks. I am neutral, more concerned with performance and practicality.
better if honda equip this accord engine to civic. so no need to buy civic type R
Hahaha, excellent idea.
They have. It’s called the Civic Si. Sadly for us, not sold in Msia.
Also the type R has the 2.0T motor. The american accords share the same powerplant as the Civic type R. There's a huge difference between the 1.5 accord and the 2.0 accord
'P' is for PAUSE. 😂
Hahaha. Good one!

In my opinion the best secment D car in Malaysia.
Ugly car

Over here, we use Waze a lot, which is much better than a GPS, so I thinknthat was why Honda decided to omit it. Some other car makers still have GPS.
You don't want our price for sure ! Lol
