"People say it drives similar to an Evo 5 or 6"
Hello world!
Welcome to a car we have been wanted to drive since 2020; the GR Yaris!
Thanks to two amazing subscribers, Kenny & I had the opportunity to film a full review of one of Toyota's most hyped cars.
Not only do we take a good, in depth look around the car, we put it through it's paces through our gorgeous mountain roads, and we were even given permission to do some launches to test the actual 0-60mph time using our Dragy.
But we want to know, is it still worth the hype?

Little trick for the 0-60 is to (turn off all the bleeps first) HOLD down the traction control for 5 secs. Dash will say expert mode, then 70-30 rear bias and like all 4WD blip first at 3k to kick it of, find second and onward. This car isnt about straight line rips though and im glad you acknowledged that, its ability is to just glide through twisties.

@randomman1050 ah gutted! I wish we knew about Expert Mode before hand. Completely agree! I was impressed with the straight line speed, but the handling blew my socks off! Thank you for watching! - Drew

Fantastic cars. Makes me laugh when people call them 😂. GR Yaris looks Fantastic and in my opinion the Yaris ( New Generation) in general is the best looking small car. Anyone calling the Yaris has literally no idea about cars and actually still believe in the myth of German engineering haha 😂. . 37 years I've been working on cars, Toyota still build the most mass produced reliable cars globally.

I went from a BMW 330e 2018 mod to the GR Yaris Circuit Edition and it is the most fun I have had in a car. It's so satisfying and fun to drive, when you really start pushing it : D

I prefer the stock look personally! Lusted after one- but ended up getting an Audi S1. Now fully worked with ~430hp on 99, proper suspension & brakes. Day to day it’s hugely usable & fun! Still love GR’s- so well sorted out of the box

Great video boys. You need to put it in “expert mode” to launch it properly. I got 4.9 in stock trim. As for daily drivable.. my Mrs chooses to take the Yaris over her 5 series on average 2/3 days a week and she doesn’t like manual cars 🤷🏻‍♂️drop the back seats they’re a great van too😂

@MrDeancameron bugger, I wish we knew about Expert Mode before hand lol Although deep down, I don't think we would ever oush this thing to its limits unless it was our own. Wow, 4.9 is crazy good! 😂 that's says alot! They are so nice to drive both fast & slow! Thank you for watching! - Drew

@b4ssfunk3d 3 күн бұрын

They need to sell one of these in the United States. It just don't happen though due to regulations and crash test restrictions... they discontinued the 2 door Yaris many years ago so there's just about a zero chance we will ever see one. Atleast we have the GR Corolla, but still not a true "hot hatch" which I always imagine are 2 doors like the Golf Type R, R32, Honda Civic Type R hatch, or Nissan Pulsar GTI-R.

@ricchrono5907 Ай бұрын

The auto blip works great most of the time, apart from dropping from 3rd to 2nd, it’s not fast enough and almost have to wait for the rev reaching to right spot.

I love a rally car. But I’m. Lose to being able to buy that one car. I’m really torn between one of these or an R8. I know they are completely different, but I love them both.

@nagykakas Ай бұрын

On my local used car market the GR Yaris cost around the same as BMW M2's from 2017-2018 with around 25-40k kilometres in them looking brand new and some of the listings are even "very" close to older Porsche 911s price wise so I would pick something else. This is like rich mans pocket rocket or idk. A bit overhyped in my opinion. I love it but I wouldn't pay that much for a riced out Yaris

How do you think it compares to a sti or evo if you have driven one?

@accelerateyoutube Ай бұрын

@Birmingham_racing fortunately, Kenny has owned an Evo 7 & a classic STi so we are familiar with both. Handling wise, the GR does feel like a modern version of the Evo & STi, in the sense of the grip and "throwability" of them lol But I felt more confident that the GR was not going to break if we ragged it too hard lol - Drew

@roybatty2030 Ай бұрын

I have a GRY and a 1999 STi, which is surprisingly similar to drive. Just shows what a great car the Scooby was 30+ years ago.

@MarkAustin-wz5gn Ай бұрын

I owned a WRX STI 340R for 5 yrs and now have a GRY. Very similar drive, but the GR is more chuckleable cos it's smaller and both are great cars.

Yea mine is stock too, been enjoying it since 22, and it won’t be box stock in a month time. Nothing crazy, just deleting the redundant rear seats, strut bars to front and rear, cooling under tray and gen2 intake duct, want to make it a wee bit more focused.
