Journalists say that the GR Yaris is good but you guys tested the car much better than those without being biased at all and these mods has made the GR Yaris perfection now. Great job Misha & Robert.

Robert: I'm looking to slim down my car collection Also Robert: I'm buying another GR Yaris Honestly can't blame you though, it's a hell of a car

[@RobertMitchell]

Yeah....

[@Pit63]

@@RobertMitchell you are getting another GR Yaris! we only getting 30cars in Taiwan & we have 300 order down payment in one day! So there are 270 back order now!!! But then China & USA aren’t getting any !

[@eugenux]

@@Pit63 don't want to be offensive or smth but, do you have enough mountain roads and enough of a high speed limit to empty a gas tank from one side of the island to the other, driving a car like the GR?, if the answer is no, then why would you bother?, just because of the hype?, I am asking because, for driving slowly through villages and continuous towns, I can think on around hundreds of other more suited cars. The GR Yaris is for attacking a quiet mountain pass in anger, not for roads full of scooters and 50hp little vans. edit. I'm not saying people should stop wanting a car like the GR; I'm just saying that 30 cars for 30k square kms is enough, especially since there are no places where you can unleash it. More than this numbers would be a waste, since there are many countries on this planet that do have the roads on which you can properly use this tiny rocket of a car. edit 2. I have just checked and for roads that are similar to mountain passes, the speed limits are: on lanes without markings: 40 km/h on lanes(one per direction) with markings: 50 km/h ffs, the highway limit is 100 to 110 km/h. where do you plan to use the GR, just for curiosity? :) so sorry but, more than 30 cars would be a waste of cars. Toyota's allocation numbers are correct. Get an automatic convertible if you want to enjoy a mountain road at slow speeds(40-50-60km/h).

[@tooclaws]

Misha, nice zip. :) Thanks guys

[@scottmuir2385]

Cheers for the explanation of the work on the GR - excellent format! Shame I missed out on a key ring - my brother in Australia just took delivery of his GR Yaris on Saturday (loves it) and I would have loved to have got him one but oh well! BTW Robert - how is your Groundies Deal Going? Today is my first day of wearing my new pair Hamburgs based on your recommendation..... You should have a deal as I never would have considered. Cheers

[@RobertMitchell]

Hey Scott. Congrats to your brother on his new car I’m sure he’s going to love it :-) I’m still enjoying the shoes although the brand deal has never taken off LOL.

[@snape1464]

If it were mine, I’d get some carpets in the back, an Evolve airbox, an exhaust, and make sure the speakers don’t play engine sounds. But damn this is a good recipe for the Yaris and I wish it was mine

[@ludwigdesiderato]

If possible I would like to know the max seat width achievable with this mounting solution. For example an Omp Wrc-R XL could be fitted in? Thank you, nice content!

[@jassi_ahluwalia]

Yay! Epic to always see you & Misha together in the video. I am always happy.

[@RobertMitchell]

Was a pleasure for both of us

[@jassi_ahluwalia]

@@RobertMitchell I am always amazed to watch your & Misha videos especially learning about track & cars ability to handle the track.

[@BigSalv]

Have you guys looked at replacing the battery with a light weight option? I heard you can save 10-15kg by replacing it, definitely worth having a look at.

[@MrTopty]

Thanks, Robert managed to snag a keychain! too bad I just sold my car though so I have no fob to put it on :P

[@micheltebraake7915]

Great, Robert and Misha explain how good the GR Yaris has become after all the modifications and then they choose the best car for a round on the Nordschleife, the Chevy pick-up truck :-)

That's awesome that you ordered another GR Yaris. Looks really good in red too! I was wondering, would you ever want to go racing yourself in for example RCN? Or have you maybe answered that question before in a video?

[@RobertMitchell]

I’ll touch on that in a coming video for sure. It’s a good question

[@rodneyyy95]

@@RobertMitchell I have been subscribed for about 6 months now, and didn't really hear you talk about it. With the new RCN season it made me wonder if you ever felt like going racing yourself. Looking forward to that video!

[@gregshrimpton1630]

You guys need to start selling new cars modified in the way you have the Yaris, and call it the "Apex edition" 🤣🤣🤣 Good job! I would think the lower seating position (which so many manufacturers get wrong, i.e. to high) feels much better? and the KW suspension, of which I fitted a set of coil-over V2 many years ago, transformed my car and gave it 50% -60% more confidence over the other suspension I had tried and trust me I had been through lots and could be considered an expert for that car 🤣! Am I right in thinking you went with KW because they TUV approved? Either way epic job and well done to all involved! Keep the vids coming! Cheers! 👍

[@horatiow2588]

I do like the Yaris as is, but if it had a 1600 4AGE 20V, that would just make it completely unbeatable in any class. 4AGE has lots of support, and an enthusiast can bring it to 2 liter quite easily. I think the point of Toyota making cars it to make large volume sales, and a 4AGE would sell more once the initial demand for these cars are met.
