Toyota GR Yaris: One Car Bringing the Car Community Together!

[@BM_PAZ]

I'm now at the age when I don't care about brand snobbery or buying cars to impress other people, I just look for what I know I'll enjoy myself.

[@RobertMitchell]

thats what its all about really! !

[@iyzyz]

You grew up finally.

[@JerainJezza]

I always drive a BMW since a lot of years, not bc of the badge but bc it has big power, RWD, manual, LSD and great driving experience!

[@jryalls]

Anyone not buying a Yaris because of Brand Snobbery needs to take a look at Toyota’s past and race history. You really can’t compare this to other Toyotas. It’s a ground up car built in conjunction with the rally team. I bet Toyota aren’t making money on a single one. Considering that they built a bespoke 4WD system, suspension set up and the circuit pack is £3,000 but the circuit pack wheels are £1,600 each.

[@zerozeropure]

So excited by the car. I think real car enthusiasts know what this car is.... Real.car enthusiasts can appreciate all forms of engineering.... And when something is done genuinely ... When something is done with passion or love it shines through.... Hence this GR Yaris... Also why I love watching Robert and Misha.... They are enthusiasts who KZbin ... Not KZbinrs pretending to be enthusiastic... ♥️ To Robert, Misha and all the enthusiast our there !

[@RobertMitchell]

first of all thank you for being on the channel! and yes, a true car enthusiast will like a car no matter what segment its in if it truly is a good car

[@netmatrix75]

I think the Tommi Makinen involvement in this car is the big push of the high interest for the Yaris.

[@baptistelegrand3963]

I wasn't expecting to see a Unno on your wall, fully exposed carbon frames are something else!

[@RobertMitchell]

They are great bikes and I’m enjoying this so far. It’s a loaner. Mine comes in a month or two

[@BridgerPOWDERhound]

@@RobertMitchell Been a downhiller for more than a decade and have to say you've chosen dang well- it's a dream bike and the Cesar Rojo, owner of Unno, also does frame and suspension design for other world-class brands like Canyon, Mondraker, etc. Unno's are straight incredible. I'm just disappointed they make a single frame size, I'd have one if I were a few inches shorter.

[@RobertMitchell]

@@BridgerPOWDERhound maybe one day they’ll build a bigger frame. I’m 189cm and it’s really borderline to too small.... but it’s such a cool bike and I feel good on it

[@manipulativer]

i often want to leave a comment as you seem to appreciate them. You just made me realize that you are normal cause you feel when you drive. When you drive a car you meditate in a way... you are present. you are not thinking in your head about the future or the past. This is why even if you are wealthy you are keeping it real. Nice to see normal people that were not consumed by ego/money/power. cheers

[@RobertMitchell]

Thx for the kind comment man! Great to have you on the channel!

[@rzurzolo]

Great video! I love the multi topic format. I am too old to be swayed by influencers, and it is so refreshing to hear unbiased opinions from someone who can intelligently dissect the pros and cons of cars ,bikes, and liquors without the shadow of a companies payoff in the background. Your efforts and opinions are well appreciated!

[@bjornsemmelink9163]

Thank you robert for this video. What i find especially intruiging/courageous is the fact that you call people out on their shortminded-ness(is that a word) without them knowing or being pissed off about it. Very subtle. I think it's great you do so. We need to resprct each other more and each decision someone makes should be their decision only.

[@mikedockal8978]

Robert, when it comes to influencing and your intentions - you are either completely honest and trustworthy (that's my take on it), or the best salesman in the world to fool me into thinking that.

[@andrewdavis2325]

Super stoked that you got one, I.Will see you next year and I want to hire it and go out in the GT2RS MR.

I did 🤣

[@Sean_Farmer]

Robert, as someone who used to ride a lot when I was in my teens I can say that your ride was indeed impressive! That's a massive elevation change, especially when it's almost all a constant rise. As for myself, I bought a lower end mountain bike this summer and at almost 53 yrs old I could certainly use all the E assist I can get! Trying to get back into shape as well. Great video as usual. : )

It warms my heart to hear that supercar owners are excited about this. Toyota have done themselves proud, and IMO caught other manufacturers napping. I'm an owner (and restorer) of multiple examples of the spiritual predecessor to the GR Yaris, the Celica GT-Four, and haven't been this excited about any car since before I bought my first ST205 Celica.

[@bispal]

Love the fact you are a true petrolhead Robert and happy to own cars ranging from VW polos to a GT2RS / 620R and your choices are based on driving dynamics and not on price / prestige / kudos! Keep up the good work, your vlogs are really informative, cheers.

Thanks for correcting the GR Yaris vs Yaris GR (wrong). Its funny how lots of journalists/commentators get this one wrong.

[@hakimdridah1711]

This car is fantastic. Dream car for me. That's why i just bought it today. First real sports car for me (first new car as well). Will be delivered in March/April. You just hyped me up even more! I am so looking forward to have it. Great talk by the way! Thanks for those wise words!

[@basithph8958]

I really want a GR Yaris but we can’t have it in America But we are getting a GR Corolla and hopefully it carries the same drivetrain from the Yaris!

[@RobertMitchell]

I’ll have to look into that car, could be kind of cool in a sedan or coupe.

[@trdartz]

Well we do have Corolla hatchback so likely will be a hatchback if it actually comes to America .

[@Tobberobbe97]

At the same time, we have so many cars that are unavailable due to EU taxing carbon emissions, such as the Mazda3 AWD Turbo, BMW M series going out of production until a hybrid/electric version comes out, etc.

[@Sean_Farmer]

My suspicion is that it will just be a modified version of an existing car and not a ground-up build designed around performance driving like the Yaris. It will likely weigh far more than this car as well. Only time will tell.

[@jorgschneider4907]

In the early 90's Carlos Sainz drove the Celica GT4 AWD (st165) and got the Championship title with it. This Yaris continues the aera of Cars from Enthusiasts for Enthusiasts! Doesnt Matter how much Power, doenst Care about top Speed... Just the Feeling you have when you Drive it. The Car lets you smile when you come closer and after the ride you leave the Car with a smile! Thats a all i need! Great Job Toyota! Thanks Robert, you are are one of a Kind in this Business!

[@denisljutic9182]

GR Yaris looks awesome in the photos. Can't wait to see one on the road. The only downside (not really downside but more bitter-sweet situation) is that if everyone is excited about ir and will buy it, then series of 25k cars is a little small for everyone to get this beasts of the car. MTB looks amazing. Any scenic route in your area for MTB ride. I always like bike ride videos.

On Pistonheads there’s plenty of supercar owners that are awaiting delivery or replacing some exotic cars for the GR.

[@MrLundefaret]

Good point, and it has been like that with all the Rally Group A/Homologation Specials, since the Lancia Delta Integrale, Sierra and Escort Cosworth, Toyota Celica GT4 Subaru WRX Sti and EVO,s.

And that's a nice bike on your wall now. UNNO is making some great looking bikes. When you will finish with your custom paint you should put it on your GT2RS MR (seaSucker roof rack should do a job) and go to Italy for a road trip and some proper mountain biking. I think this combo will look outstanding there. There is nothing wrong with e-bikes but in Italy you can get some shuttle rides up, so no need to be very fit and you can enjoy light an nimble bike on the way down.

[@sibbese3740]

First of all, I think you did an excellent choice getting this car, and I base that on the words it got from the car reviewers that really like it, I trust them to make an honest review. The tech level is insane here, 4wd, limited slip diffs, good brakes from factory to not mention the price. With the comments and discussions, when you are this kind of open word speaker you can expect some back. There are many tender toes out there and many get stepped on with the straight honest comments. But a word of advice is to maybe alter the feedback to instead mention what can be improved instead of just calling it bad or worse. I have got pretty addicted to the ring and running it, but sofar I haven't got my ass out of the chair yet and actually done it, but for sure it must happen. We'll see next year. Keep it up 👍

[@RobertMitchell]

Well we can start now! It’s not good that you’re sitting on the sidelines. We can improve that by getting you out to the ring and on track! Take a slow car for starters

[@Christian-nl9ji]

Great Content! I'm going to do a test ride with the Yaris GR, cant wait for it, great Car. A Friend of mine had the Clio Sport and after the Clio V6, the Yaris reminds me a bit to these Days when companies build Cars that were made for having fun! Sadly i think these times are gone, beside all the Supersportscars.

[@Mistio.]

Knowing not all of us have millions shows you are down to earth and in touch with reality. When I installed my MK3 FoRS KW 2way Clubsport at Manthey, there was a Porsche GT2 owner next to me. As the Manthey mechanic struggled to remove half my front so he has access to swapping parts, the Porsche was almost fixed. The Swiss Porsche owner came up to me and said “ why didn’t you buy a Porsche, can’t you see how poorly built your RS is?” Valid points of course but this did not change I was not a millionaire like him.

[@colinbremner9030]

the Yaris does look impressive. i would definitely take your word over most other reviewers Robert. thanks for another excellent informative video always look forward to watching /listening your videos. oh by the way the bike looks mighty impressive i've always wanted to try a full carbon bike they must feel so different being so light but sadly i know i couldn't even afford the tyres never mind the rest. the e-bike's are a brilliant idea they are perfect for longer relaxing rides and i guess are still very capable , not everyone wants to be a downhill jump rider.

Thank you Robert for your honest impressions. Its a bit of fresh air after seeing SupercarBlondie glorifying the porky new M4 by being paid thousands. Speaking of high performance cars from the Toyota group - if you have 48 minutes to spare for today, I highly recommend you watch Savagegeese's video he uploaded yesterday called "Lexus LFA | A Proper Goodbye" - the channel has a sarcastic, no-bullshit, no-contrived approach in all of their videos and focuses on the sheer technical detail that the engineers have went through to make Toyota's no-compromised sportscar a realisation. Regards from the UK.

Hey Robert. Took me a while to watch and respond.

Can't wait to see how this is going to play out in the future and if homologation specials will really return to the car world!

I couldn’t agree more I hope we see a lot more of those. I suspect I have a little bit of concern because some manufacturers are pulling out of motorsport
