COMPARISON: 2023 Corolla GR Corolla CORE vs CIRCUIT EDITION!!!

[@Toyotajeff]

I would love your comments. What trim level is your fave and what things do you like about it? What pop culture references did you like? Thanks for watching & subscribing as always! Jeff

[@rightlanehog3151]

Core in simple white.

[@jimsgaragetoys]

Thanks for the video. If I had known this event was going to happen I would have driven down from WA State just to see the GR Corolla in person! I would love a Circuit Edition in Heavy Metal or White but I'm very worried about being able to get one with the very limited number of CE that will be produced. If I could order one like they could with the GR Yaris that would be great but I hear that Toyota will be doing these with the same allocation system as they do the other models. If a loaded White Core becomes available I'll most likely grab it. I like both hoods, I don't care which roof I get. I do like the gloss black front grill and rear valance of the CE but the flat black of the Core is growing on me. I love the CE seats but I'm curious to see what the Core cloth seats look like. I just can't wait to get one! This car is going to be EPIC!!!

[@HemiBurns]

Circuit Edition in WHITE....

[@Z0mbi3MicKill3r]

For sure the Circuit Edition in the Heavy Metal. Such a beautiful car, so glad I watched this video. I was about to pull the trigger on a toyota gr86 but I'm going to have to wait for this to come out. It's absolutely gorgeous, and it's really nice to see this kind of creation coming from Toyota, it's sleek, unique, and I really like the fact that the 3 exhaust tips are all functional! Super unique design. Never was a fan of hatchbacks until I saw this one. And it making 300 hp and 274 torque from the factory is impressive to say the least. Not only that but it'll be practical as well.

[@elnandooo]

Circuit Edition 💯 “I want to pet chu” lol

[@ggthx]

This is going to be a gem of a car, made in the same car plant as the A80 Supra, Lexus LFA, LC 500 and the GR Yaris. This car is going to be pretty big for Toyota's come back to performance cars. Hoping for the MR2's return.....

[@rcDoom]

Let's be honest the GR Circuit Edition is outstanding, beyond street worthy. In fact its race track worthy. I don't drive on a race track I drive on public roads. 5 main differences are. 1. CE Edition is rare and very special. 2. Roof carbon fiber chuncks 3. Signed Gear shifter 4. Hood bump with vents 5. Rear wing is bigger Core with performance package you still get a beyond street worthy experience. 1. It's still special 2. No Carbon roof awe oh-well you still get the same rims. 3. Still get same short throw great manual 6 speed gear box. 4. After market Hood here comes the vents. 5. Bigger rear wing I'll pass, the standard one is just fine. For me I chose the Core with performance package and that comes with the LSD (Limited Slip Differential) just like the CE version.

this is probably the best looking hatchback in my opinion, can't wait for it to come out. For sure going to get this car when it comes out! I've never liked any hatchback look. But this one is absolutely beautiful. Big fan of the way it looks. Can't wait to see what aftermarket accessories come out for it! I think this is going to give the Subaru wrx a run for it's money. I was considering a toyota gr86. But this is just, wow. The 3rd exhaust tip kinda looks like a usb-c port but it still looks unique and gives the car a more aggressive sporty look to it. I know it's still a work in progress but it's so gorgeous already
