m3 to this gr is maturity. I'd be daydreaming about the m3 until I got another one but this new car is so nice. Congratulations!

[@Ian-yt]

Thank you! Don’t worry the Miata keeps the pain of the m3 at bay haha

[@brynroberts5615]

Love this vid and your enthusiasm for the car. I'm in Australia and picking up my GR Corolla in the next couple of weeks. You have made me even more excited for it than i already was!! Thanks mate, enjoy!

[@jacksquat1265]

Amazing pick up. Congrats! I totally hear you about taking a break from “hurr durr real driving.” I used to drive a manual ND Miata club every day and moved on to an automatic GR Supra 3.0. It’s nice not having to think and just enjoy a comfortable driving experience in a fast car. Toyota needs to make it easier for people to buy this car at MSRP. It’s a great piece of engineering.

Dude I don’t know how anyone into cars complains about shifting. I do it on auto pilot in regular traffic. I only think about shifting during spirited drives and even then is still almost feels like auto pilot lol.

[@dimitridesforges4656]

Dude congrats! The GR looks sick in red 🔥

[@skipperbill84]

Have to agree with you about the clutch, I've heeled toed for a long time (i find this car a bit strange to do it with peddle placement) and I could see why some people might be prematurely burning up clutches. I make sure to go all the way in and out smoothly as that last little bit is tricky/feels different to any other manual I have driven. Also agree on the iMT, I like manuals but using it as a DD i think it is a great option to have a manual but not feel like I am racing on track just to get around town. Personally I think you hit most points, it is still an econobox hatchback and it feels like that, though I think the seats could be better bolstered.

[@diophys]

this is actually a really well done overview of the car!

Thank you I appreciate it!

[@atrell2112]

Great video, pure joy. I have a focus ST here in Melrose that is probably slower than your new toy! But is almost as good a deal maybe better if you don’t need the Awd (and there’s always the RS). But, not a Toyota.. my engine already needed a new piston once 😂

[@Ian-yt]

Hope the new piston treats you well haha

[@AntilleanConfederation]

I would have gotten one. But that engine is too small and already stressed out. Small engines are hard to cool due to lack of oil capacity. And the clutch pack overheating is also another reason I didn’t pursue getting one. Hopefully it serves you well bro.

[@MouseCIick]

How tf is this a dream daily driver when this car came out last year. I just want to call out people bs. Nice car btw.

[@Austinomon]

There can be a product you've dreamed of that doesn't exist yet. Someone who wanted a turbo AWD hatch back could consider this the dream car they have been waiting for. And the amount of time a car has been out has nothing to do with how much you want it lol

[@Ian-yt]

Drooled over the Yaris for years at this point wishing we got a manual turbo hatch from Toyota it’s pretty sweet

[@jeanblue8424]

Did you actually buy it or did you just finance it? They are two very different things.

[@Ian-yt]

Purchased with financing -not a lease

[@BryceCzirr-jz7ju]

[@VS666]

damn, 39k aint bad for a little nugget of a turbo awd manual sedan!!! probably one of the few modern cars that won't depreciate much of all! word of advice, i know its an unpopular opinion but at your age you need to be a lot smarter with money than someone thats got some years and income under their belt, KEEP IT STOCK!!! Other than wheels/tires/pads/fluids and maybe a catback don't jeopardize your warranty! Toyota has been giving people shit about the RTV issues on the 86, they would love to void a warranty on a car like this without hesitation. and yes i understand the magnuson-moss law, just dont risk it!

[@Ian-yt]

Haha don’t worry I dump my money into the Miata -I appreciate the words of caution

[@moritzfreudenb325]

Awsome Video. I think u made a great choice with this car. I'm curious if you would have preferred to buy the GR Yaris if it were available in the USA? Btw. greeting from Germany

[@Ian-yt]

I honestly don't think I would have been able to consider the Yaris. This is my second car to the miata and I really needed to purchase a more life-proof vehicle with 4 seats and a hatch. Absolutely love the yaris though I wish we had it here in the states -I love the hot version eps with it and the australian youtube vids are crazy

[@JackCoward]

@@Ian-yt I wish we got the GR Corolla in the UK, the Yaris isn't practical enough over the GR86 to make it worth it imo

Can you get decent mileage if you stay out of BOOST?

[@Ian-yt]

My mileage over 390 miles is 25mpg, I haven’t once gone full throttle or over 5500 rpm, I’ve noticed boost only kicks in with a decent amount of throttle. If you just drive calmly it stays out of boost and gets high 20s and I’ll get 30-32 on highway

[@TheAphtar]

I haven't gotten one of these yet, but seeing 7:39 is really interesting to me. Putting in that module sounds great for a daily driver. Also as a canadian who will likely get a core that doesn't have the heated steering wheel, im very interested to see that your 7:39 video seems to show all the wiring for a switch is there just no relay and button. Thus I see potential hope that with just those it might work. Otherwise the car might require the clock spring and wheel with the heating element. But very promising to see what looks like complete wiring there.

[@Ian-yt]

I saw on the grcorollaforum that you can order the heated wheel oem but no one was sure if they had successfully installed it. I’m also curious

[@TheAphtar]

@@Ian-yt yeah I first found out it may be possible from the same forum post. I also haven't seen anyone post about trying it. very curious

[@TheAphtar]

@@Ian-yt there is now updates to that forum post that does confirm that retrofitting is possible on canadian core models, as they have the full cold weather wiring harness. it seems like you can also retrofit it to US cars if they have the tech package, as they also get the full harness. if you don't have that package it seems like the wiring is missing and you are not able to unless you buy and replace the entire harness for 1300$+, and noone has attempted that as far as I can see

[@Ian-yt]

[@Young_Bourdain]

I’m not having clutch issues as much as when on a hill I can put my foot to the floor and the rpms have a noticeable delay between idle and 1200rpm. I’ve stalled this car 3 times so far from moving my car out front of my house to my driveway (both are inclines). Strangely enough I haven’t stalled the car out driving around when I’m stopped at a light on an incline. I know the hill assist holds you in place, but idk if the IMT is doing something weird with the throttle when I’m starting on an incline. The way I’ve been combating this is just giving the car extra revs before taking off but it’s definitely odd and I can’t explain that hesitation on steep inclines. I’ve been driving standard transmission vehicles for 15 years now and starting on inclines hasn’t been an issue since I was first driving. It really seems to be a throttle response issue and my car only has 300ish miles so far. I have had 0 problems with the car during any other driving situation and the car has been everything I’ve wanted.

[@Ian-yt]

on hills with IMT on i still use throttle as if IMT wasnt on, I push the break in hard before so it holds on the hill too. definitely a weird thing of this car

[@lolatu4402]

FYI if you want to record the exhaust sound proper, disable traction control fully by holding down the traction control button for a few seconds until "expert mode" light goes off. Then you can bounce off the rev limiter while in neutral.

Thanks for the tip! Haven’t gotten to redline yet waiting until after break in, will put this to good use soon though !
