NEW Toyota GR Yaris Review: All HYPE? 4K

Same as other reviewers out there but Rory managed to make so many mistakes about the GR,s specification.Do they not check their work before making it go live on KZbin ? Must try harder,very poor effort.

[@lowkeysoundsystem6174]

Never thought I'd be interested in a Yaris, but here we are.

[@insayn7995]

Well it’s just called a Yaris, it’s a completely different car, just like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo.

[@glennerz117]

I love Rory's passion and the way he articulates the driving experience, but there are a number of things he mentions about this car that should be corrected - the price starts at £30k not £33k (£33k not £36k for the Circuit Pack), the gear lever is raised 50mm (not 10mm), the normal driving mode is 60% front-biased (not rear) and the roof line is up to 95mm lower (not 195mm). Also Toyota had to build 25,000 (not 2500) examples for WRC homologation.

Rory, I say it on every video you guys put out - you're awesome pal and so engaging to watch.

[@isaacwalker6646]

Thats the best Toyota’s done in probably I’d say in 2 decades. Btw, I think it’s 60:40 front-rear split in normal mode. We never get this machine in Canada, sadly. We’re wishing Toyota can make a GR Corolla with same formula and backing it to the other side of the Pacific

[@jonathanhundeyin4457]

Watched this a few times. The "Take my money" always makes me smile. Thank you Rory. Another excellent review.

[@popsbubbles1242]

the hype comes from the fact all car manufactures have been constricted from producing fun cars due to boring jack asses that hate the car *EU pens pushers This is a throw back to better days of old, get rid of that info screen, lower the seat, make a smaller mirror and make the 4 wheel drive system 100% switchable front or rear biased. PERFECTION

[@NickG24]

I am glad you mentioned the fact that the 3 modes don’t really count for a lot on the road. Proper, honest review this. As you say, a hot hatch should also be practical. They shouldn’t be well polished either, one of the ingredients is being a bit lairy.

[@Toyota4Life]

But in fact this isn’t a hot patch it’s a one off special homologation vehicle there is no other Yaris this shape because this car was never intended to be practical it was made for one purpose. Other hot hatch cars are strictly just soup up version of basic cars with the Yaris is a one off special not based on any of the Yaris besides it’s name Yaris

[@Foreverfront]

quality, reliability, durability!

[@haserotmalach7324]

Unlike the unreliable and gaudy Mercedes, this Toyota is an instant classic and because it's a limited production vehicle (at least it was until the idiots at WRC decided to require hybrid powertrains to be used soon), it's a collectible too and will probably be worth a good amount of coin in the future. And it's a reliable machine.

[@GCast-iv1pd]

How can you say it's reliable? The 3cyl is a novel engine which has no history at all. Same goes with the car. If you are basing that purely on the assumption that is a Toyota, then I'm sure thousands of Hilux, LC and Prius owners that would disagree with you.

[@haserotmalach7324]

@@GCast-iv1pd yes, just because it's a Toyota and especially when compared to the garbage that the germans make.

[@paulnorman8274]

@@GCast-iv1pd "Thousands" out of the millions upon millions sold of those vehicles, still make each and every one of them among the very most reliable vehicles ever offered for sale by anyone. Uber drivers drive Prius'. Not Benzes. For good reasons. The GRY is a bit of an odd man out, as it really is a big break from how Toyota normally builds stuff. But if there was ever a low volume car whose expected reliability would deserve to be taken on a bit of faith, it has to be a Toyota where Akio himself is repeatedly putting his, and his "family business"'s name on the line the way he is with the GRY. Toyota has more to lose than anyone else, from the reliability of their offerings ever being as much as even questioned. The reputation they have built up wrt reliability, is not unlikely the single most valuable intangible asset owned by any company, in any business, anywhere on the planet. To throw that away, and on a car which Mr Toyoda himself is all over the place promoting to boot, would be almost criminally stupid. And Toyota isn't exactly known for the stupidity of their management decisions, to put it mildly.

[@GCast-iv1pd]

@@haserotmalach7324 Spoken like a true sheep. I bet you haven't even driven a German car.

[@GCast-iv1pd]

@@paulnorman8274 Benz are more expensive than a Prius so that's the main reason, nothing more. Taxis here is AU are mostly Koreans as they are cheaper. Can I say a Hyundai is more reliable? The reason run-of-the-mill Toyota is reliable is because its intentionally made to underperform. They run on average of 50-70KW per L. The GRY does 125KW/L. If you have any idea about motorsport, you'll know that that's a lot of stress put in the engine. To say that the GRY have the same reliability as their workhorses defies physics and simply put, just barber talk.

Rory mentioned the E30 M3 and having owned one at the time it was certainly not over hyped, drive one now and it would feel slow but the handling on track was amazing. I’m now in an 330e which is a better daily but would not match on the track due to the weight. All IMHO

[@TAYYAB_989]

He walked on to his own show and is RUNNING KZbin CAR REVIEW CHANNEL PURE GENUS!

[@Ingmar72]

Very nice review! I've ordered one which will approx. be delivered in October next year. But I've to correct you: in normal mode it sends 60% to the front and 40% to the rear, not vice versa. Included in the circuit pack are not just the BBS forged alloys with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and the Torsen diffs front and back, but also painted brake calibers and a better suspension. Don't ever think about not to choose this, if you would like to buy one. What I miss painfully are two other things coming along with the circuit package in Japan: the front strut brace and an intercooler water spray kit. I've no idea, why they didn't put it in the package in GB or the EU. But, there is a way with aftermarket parts as well. Another thing is, that you've compared the GR Yaris to the AMG A35, which starts at 54.180,70 € or 45.869,97 GBP. The GR Yaris comes at 37.640 € / 31.866,43 GBP with the circuit pack. That is like comparing apples and pears. Concerning the engine sound via the speakers: they put a microphone in the engine bay, it's not the exhaust sound you are hearing inside the car. But well, it's a bit too "well-behaved" in that matter from the outside. Maybe Toyota wanted to avoid complications with noise restrictions coming stricter and stricter in different countries. But again, this is a drivers cars and a tuners car with lots of aftermarket solutions.

Exactly my question 🤔

[@chickbells]

Numbers are all over the place. Toyota have to make 25,000, not 2,500; roof is lowered 95mm at the rear not 195mm; gearstick is raised 10cm not 10mm. Price is £29,995 for the standard car and Circuit Pack model is £33,495.

[@richboy900]

4:09 omg, didn't realise that with the bumper. How did no other reviewer pick up on that. Rory is more thorough than a certain Doug Demuro

[@0990ftn]

Side note: TSOP is a type of polymer plastic that Toyota invented in 1991, and has been used for many Toyota cars. The one used in bumpers are called TSOP-7, and it’s designed to be lightweight, highly resistant from scratch , crack, and heat/cold.

[@richslaney]

Mistakes in this... roof height is 95mm not 195mm lower and standard price is just under £30k and not £33k

[@silverbullet1979]

one thing I learned from performance versions of a car is that, you don't buy them for practicality reasons.. you want practicality, you buy the standard versions.

The Yaris is living up to the hype because it’s been properly designed and executed by its manufacturer. Think about this for a moment.
