[@markg7213]

@@Whotta yes because thats when things work well. It’s teamwork. Big decisions, like a new car payment, need to be consulted. It has nothing to do with “not being a man” it’s the respectful thing to do for your significant other. And this goes both ways.

[@Whotta]

@@markg7213 this only applies when you’re not financially independent or “the man”. Yes it is relevant lol. If you need to consult your wife for a $35,000 car or anything, it’s impossible that you are “the man”, and you need to change your financial situation. She’ll never respect you if she sees you need her approval to spend YOUR money. How could she if she ultimately controls your money? It’s weakness, submission, and lack of options. None of these earn respect as a man.

[@markg7213]

@@Whotta So even with your significant others, you have to lock down certain things? Shouldn’t there be trust? Why does it have to be YOURS, and MY money? If you don’t have trust with each other, then there’s bigger issues. And find me one woman who won’t appreciate her man consulting her about financial decisions. It’s called good communication. NO sane woman would think ill of their husband just for consulting her. It has NOTHING to do with control or submission. It’s RESPECT.

***Boost Pressure Correction*** - incorrect turbo boost pressure information was stated in the video. We were emailed nearly finalized Press Materials from Toyota Corporation before this press launch stating maximum turbo boost pressures of 40 and 41, respectively. We questioned the numbers, but could only refer to the documentation we received. A finalized Spec Sheet posted by Toyota has revealed revised max pressure numbers to be 25.2 PSI (Core Grade & Circuit Edition) and 26.3 PSI (MORIZO Edition). We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

[@wildman00sax]

I was thinking, with 40 psi, it'd be making well over 450hp. Either way, I want to get one

One of the things that is ESPECIALLY appealing to me about the GR Corolla is that it is built by certified master builders; it takes 10 times longer to build than the regular Corolla.

[@MisterMister5893]

LOL @ Certified master builders. I know it's being built in the LFA factory but don't forget, the LFA has stopped production. This is still a high volume model not a 100 volume car. They made some changes in the assembly and some additional weld points. I refuse to believe this is some kind of hand assembled unicorn.

Saw the episode today- cross country road trip. You were talking about a grinding first gear when you went to shift at stop or near stop.

@@dr.magnanimous8973 lol they already are. Try calling literally any Toyota dealer and ask if they're doing dealer markups or "market adjustments" on these and 90% of them at least will say yes.

Sadly most dealerships will only get 4 or 5 for all of the 2023 model year, with one maybe being the Circuit Edition. Almost no dealerships with get the super high end trim given how rare those are. My point is, these will absolutely sell the instant they arrive, and most likely well above MSRP.

[@andrewhigginbottom5080]

I took my GR Yaris to my local track in South Wales on a cold, wet February day earlier this year. Its a tight bumpy circuit, as used frequently by Mr Chris Harris, and the car was sublime. It completely embarrassed everything over car there that day, even racecars. The 30/70 was definitely my preference, even in the greasy conditions because the car wanted to rotate soon on corner exit but 50/50 was impressively effective. Great cars!

[@Theprofessor1212]

The main problem with this car atleast for us NZers is that it’s expected to launch between 90-100k NZD. For that money, you can get 2017+ M3, Giulia quadrifoglio, Alfa 4C, focus RS, 1990s Honda NSX. For me personally, is special but not as special as these cars. I’d just buy an old NSX, or Alfa 4C which have such a different driving experience that you can’t get anywhere else and those cars will most likely retain higher resale value if taken care of than this.

[@letsgobrandon416]

You know, I've watched Savage Geese's review, Throttle House's review, and now this one, you guys are the only one's who favored the 30/70 split. Everyone else liked the 50/50. Is that just down to driving styles?

[@phattyhales]

I felt like 50:50 was better for chasing lap times but 30:70 was a lot more playful.

[@EverydayDriver]

It’s lots of fun to switch between different torque modes and instantly feel a significant difference. It depends on driving styles, yes, and also what you want to get out of a lap time. The guys found 30:70 playful, but a 50:50 would probably deliver a quicker lap.

[@MMOchAForPrez]

I did see another review saying they preferred the 30/70 split as well. It seems to be more about how the driver likes to drive than anything else. The best tool is the one that *you* get the best result with 😉

[@letsgobrandon416]

@Shaboygan Bakalal see engineering explained detailed analysis of the drivetrain, it can't really do that, at least for not more than a moment.

[@letsgobrandon416]

@Shaboygan Bakalal what does that have to do with anything? Yeah, if you rebuild the entire driveline you can make whatever you want. That has nothing to do with what this car can do with a simple software mod. It's FWD with a clutch to connect the rear wheels. It will take an entire rebuild, not a "mod", to make it rear biased.

[@GearboxCarReviews]

Nice! Looks like a blast! Been looking forward to this one. Love the channel and the podcast. Thoughts on the clutch and the pedal placement? The regular Corolla has such a light and lifeless clutch and the pedals are pretty far apart. Hoping those are improved on this one.

[@dougmaverick3287]

Gentlemen from what I've watched and read, the cloth seats in the Core are the exact same seats as are in the Circuit Edition aside from the upholstery, same shape, same bolstering.

[@EverydayDriver]

While it’s possible Toyota made a change since the press launch… at the launch event they were very specific that the seats in the Circuit were different and an upgrade from the base seats in the Core. And the seats definitely felt different. We, and many others, recommended Toyota put the same seats in the Core. Let’s hope they did. Thanks for watching!

[@Bmontepeque11]

I think Toyota's idea is that most people will buy the Core and spec it up, The Circuit Edition is for the people who want a better track car or a collectible car, and The Morizo Edition is for the best track performance but mostly a collectible item, not really something for the masses 🤔 And at that price? If you find a Core at close to MSRP it's straight up the best option for a Hot Hatch (At least until the (FL5) Type R comes then we'll see but no matter what this will always be one of the greatest Hot Hatches of our era ❤️🔥)

[@film50565]

[@baonguyen5025]

@@EverydayDriver I'm pretty sure that the 40PSI is the intake manifold pressure which would have to subtract atmospheric pressure (15 PSI at sea level) and you would arrive at 25PSI of boost. Which is still a lot!

@@EverydayDriver The GR Yaris was producing it's factory power at 19psi... I highly doubt they needed 40psi to hit the power levels the GR Corollas are at.

[@EverydayDriver]

Quite possibly. We’re sure someone will independently verify the numbers, and perform various tests. 40 is a rather high number! On the other hand, Toyota did not caveat their spec sheet by separately stating manifold pressure, which is either really impressive or slightly concerning! We’re still not sure! Either way, the car makes 300HP with just 3 cylinders? Wow. And it has a warranty.

even at $50K they're unobtanium. so what's the point?

Corolla used to be the cheapest entry level economy sh-tbox no frills toyota model, my mom bought one brand new in 85 and it had like 60 hp and it wasn't small it was a station wagon. I don't understand why they'd transfer that name to a car like this.

Dang this audio is pretty quiet

[@DM72513]

Did you just say 40 psi? It's 25 psi guys.

[@phattyhales]

The error was addressed in the video description.

Pressure isn’t the same as flow/turbo RPM.

Looks like Mazda 2 from 10 years ago

Marketing, marketing will not justify dealer markup and overall selling price, don't you think?

[@josephtodd7320]

Good luck getting one. If you somehow do, you’ll probably pay way over the actual worth of the car.

[@necrotoaster94]

That engine sound is divine... and it's a Corolla. Cognitive dissonance in a huge way. 😁

[@supercooldude824]

Wow seems like Toyota nailed it with the Corolla

[@Ripperx121]

I am too old to pay 50k for a Corolla. It's a cool car and all but it's a Corolla.

Why do these guys think these cars have 40lbs of boost? 😆

[@EverydayDriver]

We were given an early version of the specs when we got early access to drive this car. Then, after we filmed, Toyota revised the spec and told us there was a mistake on what we were given. Thanks for watching and asking!
