Driving the new MK2 GR Yaris on the Nürburgring Nordschleife

[@CBRRR-RFirebladeVTR]

Grrrr Yaris ❤❤

[@richardkozloski8019]

Call me crazy but the Toyota dealer called and said they had two 2025 GR Corolla just off the truck. So I went over for a test ride in the 25 GR Premium with DAT. It was so much better than my 24GRC manual that I now am the proud owner of a Red GRC Premium DAT. Wish I could afford to ship it over to you so you could drive me around the track.

I would like you to do a full race in the new Yaris and thus contemplate its lap times and have the reference of the vehicle

[@coconut10006]

Nice Video 👍

[@GreatMotors]

Thank you!

[@ferradar]

Damn, impressive lap but the temps were too high it went to 2WD mode I thought with the aero improvements it would be a different story but still you have to put aftermarket things to make it cooler 😢

[@mr2marc]

it never went to 2wd mode. that message still means AWD. it's when it says "2wd engaged" when it actually goes to 2wd mode. the one on their screen "switching to 2wd" is just a warning that if you do keep going, it'll switch to 2wd. he could have probably gone for another lap before it finally goes to 2wd.

[@thomasvanatta7916]

Toyota if your gunna keep making this GR, please just fix the damn differential overheating issue once an for all!!!!!

[@DevilGin]

It’s probably overheating due to the wider tyres and the two extra people in the back as well

[@tinodeblier5694]

Custom made aftermarket cooling vins, problem solved!

[@upatnieksrolands]

Try to wrap the exhaust with the exhaust heat tape in the rear section, it works pretty good.

[@luisrobertodelarosadecena978]

This model prioritizes front-wheel drive more, taking effort away from the rear, where the ratio is 60/40, 53/47 and one (60/40, 30/70) automatically variable. to limit the heating of the rear differential by eliminating the exclusivity of the 30/70 or is the overheating problem of this model?

[@DevilGin]

@@VidNibs thank you :)

[@ItsLukem]

Lets say you buy the MK2, would you pick manuel or automatic?

[@timwattison4419]

I'd pick the Auto. Effortless to drive 😊

Manual MK1, Auto MK2. Just because the Auto is the most differentiating factor of the MK2.

[@D1git68]

Been struggling with this question too - think Auto is best if you wanna daily drive it. Otherwise manual for a weekend car.

[@richardkozloski8019]

Whose car was it? How did you like it? I thought i saw a big smile on your face. Will you get a chance to make another video?😂

[@GreatMotors]

It was a private car from a very nice person that allowed me to have a go. Not sure if I get a repeat. Let's see 😊

[@mariobarroso3447]

E que tal a caixa automática? Um abraço

[@GreatMotors]

Bastante boa. Responde bem tanto a descidas como subidas de caixa. Definitivamente torna a condução em circuito mais fácil. No meu, que é manual, acontece bastantes vezes que ficamos na dúvida entre bater na rotação máxima do motor, ou trocar de mudança só por 1 ou 2 segundos. Também é bastante bom poder trocar de marcha a meio da curva sem quaisquer problemas.

[@mariobarroso3447]

@@GreatMotors Obrigado! É o que penso também... A minha experiência é com as caixas de dupla embraiagem, e como essa não é fiquei na dúvida... Um grande abraço

[@tadej63]

Nice lap, looks like you gave passengers a decent scare :D That was a lot of rubbing through the Karussell, too wide tyres?

[@GreatMotors]

I didn't realize it was being that stressful for the passengers when I did the lap. Afterwards he told me "maybe too much send", and now that I watch the video... yeah I can see that. Tires are too wide for stock suspension and setup. Needs more camber and stiffer springs (at least) in order not to rub.

[@HRNSHN_Racing]

@@GreatMotors i said to much sent for a car which is not yours =D

[@GreatMotors]

@@HRNSHN_Racingyou looked quite uncomfortable. Sorry for making you suffer 🥲

[@jeanclaudebenoit8983]

Apparemment la Yaris a 78kms en rodage type ce fait la boucle nord gonfle le gars

[@guillaumepierlet8994]

T'as littéralement son compteur affiché à la fin de la vidéo, il a plus de 2000km...

[@Kamui..]

would have been nice to have a view on the speedometer

[@GreatMotors]

I had little time to prep, I took the head camera for the Speedo but it was far too high. I need to find a way to easily attach and detach a Speedo camera.

[@Kamui..]

@@GreatMotors maybe look if you can see how Mischa Charoudin does his setups, he does it successfully most of the time on cars that are not his property

[@GreatMotors]

@@Kamui..he uses the glue mounts. I don't really like it.

[@Kamui..]

@@GreatMotors seriously ? didn't think he use that, didn't know. Because I used some, and they are very difficult to be removed corectly without damages, they glue very hard

[@GreatMotors]

@@Kamui..exactly why I don't like them. It looks like it from some of his videos. I believe he re uses the mount, so if you stick/unstick a few time they become easier to remove.

[@besiburukofficial5810]

the up shift seems not fast enough as they claim. the paddle shifter little bit delay. not fast as we expected

[@GreatMotors]

You can see my hands in the video, and also hear the clicks from the paddles. I found it quite fast, definitely not disturbing on the racetrack (on the contrary). Having driven the G80 M3 Touring, and the G87 M2, which have automatic boxes that are taken as "one of the fastest on the market", I can tell you that this one from Toyota is at least on par with them. Actually the Toyota box deals better with gear changes close to the redline... where the BMW box shows a big big delay.

[@ferradar]

Oh how does he already have the car? Is that a journalist car? Mine which is manual, is about to come soon but we didn't receive it yet in Spain

[@markos8400]

@@ferradar There are cars around already. I've sat in one at dealership few weeks ago.

[@GreatMotors]

@@ferradar it's a customer car. I know of at least two people that have gotten them. One of them happened to be on the Nürburgring on the same day as I was, and was gentle enough to allow me to have a drive.

[@Armijs]

​@@ferradari have had a automatic mk2 Yaris GR in Europe since August 7th

[@42cuba]

lol your passenger was a bit annoying

[@GreatMotors]

Which of the two ?
