03:33 Here's a fun tidbit. Chris mentions the EVO that Tommi Mäkinen "dominated the sport in". Same Tommi Mäkinen was the chief of the Toyota rally team during 2017 to 2020 before moving on to being a motorsports advisor for Toyota. He led the Toyota rally team to victory in 2018. He actively participated in developing the Yaris GR. I feel like that cements its place in that line up even more.

I’ve now done 24,000 miles, needs another service and safety check, it’s certainly got much quicker and smoother, I only use super E5, E10 fuel is awful. highest average fuel economy has been 54mpg on the M25 Surrey to Kent with 50mph limits in places, my average overall for the year is 39 mpg, I’ve had it nearly 2 years and still love driving it. It’s a very fast road car simply because of the grip and weight, other hugely powerful cars always back off at any bend or roundabout but this car attacks. I’ve just driven my sons brand new 70k vorsprung RS3 which is rapid and is so much more luxurious but it doesn’t have the driving experience of a homolgation GR especially the steering suspension and road feel and he agrees, the RS3 is lovely, numb but with a great engine.

Nobody in my family thought about getting an homologation car, such as the Lancia Delta for example, when it came out. Although my uncle had a Ford Thunderbird, so he was into fast cars, not even he acquired such a beauty as shown in the video. For my part, I own the GR Yaris (gen. 1) and love this machine; the noises it makes when shifting gears, the feel of the brakes (the steering one needs to get used to, for it is steering by wire, and that’s new to me), the way it corners, quick and agile in a city setting, a ton of acceleration, massive amount of grip, no essential buttons are hidden away in the infotainment system, dedicated climate control, etc. It’s fantastic and worth every cent. And btw, I’m over 6 feet (180 cm), and the driving position is not too high imho; the mirror is precisely positioned so that with one glance one can see out of the back! Drawback: the view to the opposite side of steering wheel is a bit hindered, but I’m already used to it. Cheers fellas, and safe driving! And may my uncle rest in peace, and watch his beloved Formula 1 in the heavens!

What a review. Harris knows his stuff and sure can drive. Even more reason to ask ,where was the Celica ST185 GT4, the car that knocked the Lancia Integrale off its perch? I owned the Carlos Sainz road version (what a car) and eventually sold it to someone who wanted it to replace his Integrale. And I know it was banned from WRC but the ST205 Celica was the stuff of legend. Where was it?

Toyota really work hard to bring the best they could out there , I remember Chris review of the GT86 and how he was amazed by the engineering that goes behind it .. great review btw .

This is the best Top Gear and one of the best car reviews I've seen since the old TG, the GR Yaris is a brilliant car, I had to watch this 3 times to squeeze all the goodness out of it. Epic👌👌👍

This is the best video by far of Chris Harris in Top Gear. It doesn't feel like they're trying to mimic the old trio anymore, it feels like they have now restored the original flavor of Top Gear left by the old trio.

This car, much like the original M2, is one of those instant classics. They are simple, easy to understand, unbelievably exciting… they have been built with a level of love and understanding that seeps through every molecule of bodywork. Not bland numbers, no customer base derived selling points… they are made to be brilliant and invented to be characterful. They are the kind of brilliance we love about all our dream cars, our bedroom wall posters, our heroes. They are - simply put - era defining drivers cars.

I met a bloke at the gym that has one of these, and took me for a drive. It's so much fun and engaging. He has a Ford Focus RS Limited, as well.

You gotta respect Toyota now, GR Yaris, Supra and 86

What an honor at the end! We always talk thrash about beige corollas and camrys but we should not forget the AE86, the celica gt-4, the isF, the LFA, the new 86 and the italian destroyer, the Supra. Living in the Canadian snow 5 month/year , I'm waiting for the awd GR Corolla!!

Driven 4 units of these babies since 3mths ago, and its an absolutely brilliant performer. So comfortable and quiet on regular roads, its also a superbly unstressing daily driver.

Exactly my thoughts he’s also forgetting the Toyota made the LFA supra MK four MR two turbo in about 20 other fun vehicles I do not understand why people like to forget and act like Toyota don’t know what they’re doing. Toyota is very conservative most of the time but when they are ready to dominate they dominate
