Bin seit vielen Jahren Toyota-Fan. Spätestens mit dem Yaris GR habe ich den Eindruck dass die Marke endlich das bekommt was ihr lange Zeit gefehlt hat: Emotion und Power. Nicht dass sie es nicht konnten, sie haben es sich zu lange nicht getraut. Sie haben ihren Erfolg in dem Vernunftsimage gesehen. Aber charraktervolle, emotionale, kraftvolle Autos, gebaut vom Meister der Zuverlässigkeit und Langzeitqualität? Eine verdammt gute Kombination finde ich.

Very breath taking! No more boring cars! First real hot hatch for over 20 years and sets the bars extremely high! It is just brilliant, that they used the Yaris platform, which is the more female segment from Toyota and make such an incredible car! The 1. Gen with the Lotus Elise 1.8l engine and the quiet(!) stock frame was good... this one is just better. I HOPE, this 3 cylinder (which is the most powerful ever produced) will last. Typically I hate downsizing. But it is a Toyota! A daily at work days and Nürburgring at the weekend 💪

Failed to notice that it did only 90% of the track. Missed 1.8km. The time would be well over 8min. 2015 Megane Rs 275 trophy R did a full lap in 7.54. Yaris is hardly the best hot hatch in 20 years.
