Yep, like the Integrale. Who lusted after a standard trim Lancia Delta!

[@gaycha6589]

Lol same here.

[@jdmguy44]

It has little in common with a regular Yaris though.

[@andrewmoorhouse687]

Hey Thomas, that’s looks a lot of fun. I’ve never seen you grin so much driving a car! Would be perfect for UK roads: small, light, agile, comfortable yet sporty, fast enough to be able to use it, plenty of grip for our rainy climate! The price is less than I was expecting for such a specialised car, albeit it’s small. I think demand from enthusiasts will be high. Kudos for Toyota for building such a car. Great review and nice camera work guys!

[@MrFister84]

Test drove one yesterday, man it was awesome!

[@ducacosworth]

Me too. Just yesterday. It's a little weapon. Very stable and test with Track mode also it brings you outside the roundabaout in a spectacular way. Now i think to order one

[@joshimitsu96]

Really enjoyed this review. That vehicle looks great fun. Impressed!!

[@kalinicd]

I watched many Yaris GR videos on KZbin, but only yours presented this car in proper way. You have really excellent sound and camera which is able to directly and correctly transfer feeling of driving vehicle to the viewer. Thanks a lot!

[@se7enhaender]

Thank you ,Thomas, for delivering a more detailed overview than all the other videos I've seen so far combined (I've seen like 20). Fantastic work, keep it up!

dont sell it, this will be a future classic and will probably go up in value

@@silimarina. so how much is this car worth in 20 years? It's not even limited. Also, if you consider the operating cost for 20 years, forget about it. It's not an investment, but it's a damn good car.

[@protrackwheels3546]

The perfect base for a track weapon. This Friday we had one of the first cars in Germany in our workshop and fitted our 9.5x18 wheels with 255/35-18 semi slicks. What can I say...fits plug and play and lift the car on another level. The first laps on Northloop are already done. 👍

[@lindsaydowding2697]

I have watched all youtube GR Yaris reviews. Too many just focus on the o-100kph times, but you go so much further. The best review sofar. We so need something like this.

[@dwergmaster]

Last time we saw Thomas this happy was probably in the latest gen MX-5 😊 What a great car Toyota delivered here!

[@TillOverHill]

Holy mother, that is a good manual gearbox.

[@global_nomad.]

good to see the road review section in this full review compared to the other shorter one.....thanks again

[@tomraymond9795]

My new dream car! Looks like it achieves what the Pulsar GTIR was trying to back in the day. This thing would be perfect for the twisty country lanes around my neck of the woods... I strongly suspect that if Toyota compete with this that they will have massive success. If that comes to pass, this would become an instant classic. Maybe already, even without the official race credentials...

[@67tomcat]

What a fantastic review! Thanks so much.

[@Hercegovac.1]

Car looks great 👍 Stunning review from Thomas 👍

[@JMB1891]

The best and most enjoyable review of the GR Yaris. Thank you Thomas!

[@supercooled]

I think it's spelled, Tomas.

[@jimmyholster]

I've just recently discovered this channel. Thomas is my new favourite reviewer, so German and efficient haha.

[@Historymaker881]

The 3 cylinder engine sound and exhaust note is amazing and inspirational. Sounds like a 6 cylinder Porsche from back in the day...

[@Enzenso]

Thank you so much for yet another brilliant review! Now that's a dream car and might end up as one of the most iconic cars of this decade. I was really waiting for you to review this car. In my childhood I had posters of Celica GT- Four, MX-5, M3 E30 etc and this idea of a sports car still sticks with me. Just pure joy of driving and exploring some twisty roads. This feels like a breath of fresh air nowadays. So glad that Mr Toyoda gave green light to this project.

[@sk-un5jq]

Toyota Celica's and Supra's in America back in the 80's and 90's were magical! Toyota was such an exciting company and glad to see some of it come back!

[@boguszn1978]

Superb review! Toyota gained a lot of respect with this move to me! Yaris with bespoke AWD, 2x Torsen, decoupling handbrake, manual, new bespoke body! I wouldn’t believed till seeing the review. Thomas for this price range would you favour GR Yaris over bit stronger Civic Type R (with best steering up to 100k euro)?

[@autogefuehl]

this one here is imho atm the best fun machine for the price

[@JetNix]

Awesome! Love it! Although I like the digital instrument cluster that is available for the city version. =)

[@Adrianperformancequattro]

Great video 💪car its fantastic like lancer evo etc,when we can show from you review on new golf 8R?

Best hot hatch, the boot is decent and this flat floor makes is very useful, rear seat down and you can move small house with that car. Amazing

Great review. The more I learn about this car the more I am impressed with it. WOW! Well done Toyota. Well done. BTW I love the fact they purposely made the GR Yaris with a manual hand brake. The Honda Civic Type R could have used one of those :(

[@kwiat126p3]

Great review, Thomas. This is my dream car from now on. I already have Toyota Auris I 130HP and it has quite good performance but this car is just crazy. The only thing I'd do in this car is to wrap it in matte blue. It would be a killer.

[@autogefuehl]

cheers pal !

[@LoveCars718]

Truly amazing!!

[@sevensixtysteve8662]

Cars like this are so refreshing, focussed and talented and looks amazing. My only criticism would be the analogue dials look a bit 1990s but apart from that, amazing job Toyota !

[@MT-eb2dx]

That is indeed a positiv ;-) A negativ is that the consumption scale goes up to 40L/100km !!! At least it has a silent exaust that limits emissions....

[@dasgelbevomei1]

​@@MT-eb2dxsource of that information pls

Really nice review and thumbnail👍🏼

[@testnaluzie.3133]

Hi. What was the consumption from that ride??

[@Remenschneider]

Your explanation on the Torsen (not "Torsion" 😉) differentials was quite a bit off. A Torsen differential can not do torque vectoring, for that you would need a laterally mounted, electronically controlled multi plate clutch and acceleration/deceleration gearing (see Mitsubishi (S-)AYC or Honda ATTS/ Honda SH-AWD). Only thing a Torsen differential can do is "limit slip" of one wheel. That means, if one wheel is slipping, a portion of the torque that goes to the slipping wheel can still be transferred to the non-slipping wheel. An open differential would send all off the torque to the slipping wheel instead. This also means, if one wheel can transmit no torque (e.g. if it is lifted or on ice), the other wheel can not transmit any torque either, even with a Torsen differential!

[@Justwanthavefun_100]

Fantastic car, but the exhaust needs to pop like a rally car. I have a Mini JCW with the optional Pro exhaust and it sounds absolutely Mental, the pops are crazy it's so much fun, this is what the GR Yaris needs.Really does put a smile on your face when you engage it using the Bluetooth button. Anyone who has the Pro exhaust system will tell you the same,it's a must. When it is engaged,a solonoid valve opened allowing gases to flow straight out.

[@theo.k]

Excellent review. I am so sad that Toyota decided not to offer the GR Yaris in North America. I would definitely buy one in a heartbeat. We might get a Corolla derivative with the same drivetrain, but sadly a higher weight.

[@IvanBosnjak89]

Excellent as always Thomas. Surprising car from Toyota of all things. Wish more risks like this were taken, and more-so that they ever consider bringing it to North America. Instead, and unfortunately, we get a new Venza here. 😑

[@karlpeart1752]

If I had one I'd definitely be fitting an aftermarket exhaust system this one really doesn't sound great also the back seats would be gone and a proper rally spec rolecage fitted

[@its_EZ]

@@cmpillred277 hell no.

[@karstenmeinders4844]

Hmmm, I was sceptical at the beginning but more and more convinced while watching. Also I think there is some after-market tuning potential on motor power, weight (e.g. seats -> carnon, rims -> forged instead of cast aluminum or even carbon or magnesium, exhaust -> titanium or inconel, prop shaft ->carbon, battery -> replace standard lead batteries by LiFePO4, maybe not everyday use) and tires (in terms of grip etc.). I am seriously considering this as my "rational" = (affordable, usable) 2nd car......

Excellent points! The stock wheels are forged on the Performance Pack.
