I drove the circuit one yesterday it was great . But with so many expectations I was little disappointed from the softness of the car and the roll on the nice turn. And of course the noise . I am sure they could lower the car another 2 cm. Make the suspension less soft . And if we want to be crazy reduce another 80-100kg. And give us 300 hp. And on the way back with the bmw M 1 er I understood why it will never going to be replace but only add the GR with few tuning in the future . Excellent review 👍

If drivers are anything like me this car exists because of the Tesla. I own a Model 3 Performance Tesla and it's the dullest, most boring car I've ever driven in my life. I've ordered my Toyota Yaris GR and can't wait for it to arrive. I'll keep the Tesla to keep the environerds happy, but I've bought the Yaris to keep ME happy

The funniest thing is that process of making batteries for EVs and transporting them over the ocean is one of the most damaging processes in the world. Your Tesla, if used as much as average petrol/diesel car, will be "less damaging" for the environment after ~15 years of driving. If you're using only electricity from "green sources", so in practice this is possble only in Norway. Environmental advantage of EVs is one of the biggest lies in the industry.

Why you care about the environerds? That the big problem of EVs... They are boring because less emotions. No sound, no gear changing(for most of them), no rattles of the drive train, fast acceleration to around 200 kph but then... Racing against trucks on unlimited highways... EVs are for the city, hybrids are a good solution for both.

Yes. Oh yes. Surely this is the way to go: less weight, less brochure-pimping stuff you don’t need, less absolute grip, and adequate levels of power (but not like Rolls intended). Where I live, the GR is already sold out, and Toyota deserves to be rewarded for the risk they’re taking here. Rear doors would have made it unbeatable!

@@CARmagazineTV you really get when the rear push out of the corner, it still feel like a FWD most of the time, but the package is really good and fun. A very good allrounder which is quite comfortable too. It gets real fun in the twisty B-road of Switzerland especially on fresh snow. You do get a lot of fun and the handbrake is very useful. The level of grip is insane but it’s not that difficult to put it side ways. This Yaris is very impressive on torque figure quite the same compare to the S1 with less weight and those differentials looks so unique, proper permanent AWD. Breaks looks very big which can be an issue on the S1. This is the car I waiting for !

Brilliant. I agree with so much of what was said in this review. A truly refreshing enthusiast offering from Toyota in a world obsessed with EVs and SUVs. If you're keen on proper driving and not so keen on the kind of ubiquity offered by a Golf R and its peers this has to be the ultimate modern hot hatch. Oh and THANK YOU for mentioning how criminally underrated the Audi S1 is/was. I bought one new in 2017 and even after a 987 Cayman S I absolutely loved it. It seemed strangely in tune with british B road blasting for a modern Audi and was miles more engaging than the equivalent S3.

There’s too much footage available to doubt this car can’t lower the normal (uk anyway) 0 to 60 mph by a considerable margin, figures of 4.7 /4.5 are everywhere - that’s as fast if not faster than the MK3 RS Focus which is amazing ! I believe it’s mainly due to the fact that you can hit 60 mph in second gear but for 62 mph you need third also they seem to be producing more like 270 bhp rather than the 257 - but we must take hats off to TOYOTA for producing this - what looks like a masterpiece 👏👏👏👏👏

0-62 involves a change up to 3rd. 60mph is achieved in 2nd, so if that benchmark is important and you are prepared to be brutal with the clutch, sub 5s to 60 is possible.

So is this the equivalent of the Lanica Delta HF Integarle , though this car is not been used in the WRC for now . It has been a while since any auto manufacturers have dared to build a real road going rally car in a volume form. The last one from Ford was the Escort RS , none of the Focus RS car ever used 4WD , Toyota's last was the Celica GT4's most been back in the old Group A days along with the cars from Subaru and Mitsubishi cars . So it is nice to see what could be a last Swan song for this sort of car. Funny thing I just noticed this car has 265 bhp if so that is the same as the Lancer Evo 8 in road spec. Back in 90's I wanted to own a Lancia Delta HF Intergrali Evo 1 but at 21 years old both their sales price and the insurance have me no chance . But I sure would , not mind getting my hands on one of these to try now at 54 things are much cheaper to insure. Great to see some body producing a car like this in times like these.

One of these has a 1.6L 257hp, European emission compliant motor.... So what stops them from lining 2 up together with two of everything and make 514hp from a 3.2L straight six? Why buy into the b58 malarkey that is in the Supra? The supra costs more than twice of this too.

Since my various Subaru Impreza STi's and couple of Mitsubishi Evolution's, I've been waiting for something like this for years! Tried the Golf R, not a drivers car, now in an M135i Xdrive, much better, but not a drivers car. Good all rounder but not special. That's why I ordered a GR Yaris. I know exactly what these cars are designed for, I'm into WRC, have been for years. Have to wait till March now for the GR 😊

@mr hansen There's nothing 'wrong' with a Golf R, which ia a mass production, smooth tarmac, straight line car. Its an all rounder family car made to go faster A WRC road car is designed to change directions at lighting speeds and take corners and bends at an amazing pace. This is a rally car, for all weathers, all surfaces. But I think you need to be conversant with WRC in the first place as well as probably having some knowledge of cars like Subaru Impreza STi, Mistubishi Lancer Evolution, and all the other previous road rally cars which were a dream for real driver enthusiasts. The Golf R isn't in the same category

I believe the GR Supra will produce less than 20,000 units before the end of its run in which there will be no replacement. Lets face it, it was an image stunt to bring in buyers. This would make it a lot harder to find in the future and hopefully make it appreciate rather than depreciate.

I love this car and would love to get one but who's buying this you'll have to be late 20s early 30s to get one of these and by that time children are involved. For 30k you could buy 2 brand new decent cars or 2 very good cars in second hand market. Its going to be hard to use this car as a daily for the people that can actually buy these cars.
