Toyota GR Yaris | Road Review

[@GoodwoodRR]

The best hot hatch on sale now?

[@portland573]

Having recently had my 182 Trophy written off and tested the usual suspects, for Motorway hauls with 3 kids and five suitcases, no (literally not physically possible) For B road blasts in the wet (ie, a lot of England) oh yes. Never put cash down so quick.

[@mad4tar77]

Nice. The convenience pack car is probably nicer for people not intending to track, it's better able to cope with bumps, less fidgety

[@James-RJM]

@@mad4tar77 I'm one of those people 😉👍

[@blogcarspassion]

oh yeah the best car of the year

[@mugenmark]

If you told me 3 years ago when I bought my Focus RS that I'd lust after a 3 pot Yaris in 2020 I'd tell you where to go but this year is so bonkers... and I've got one on order due May 2021 and I cannot wait! Won't have the same outright grunt but I'm sure it will be more usable on the average British B road anyway.

[@Cernunn0s90]

Hope your enjoying yours as much as I am enjoying mine!

[@mugenmark]

@@Cernunn0s90 oh yes! Owned for 2 years now and still loving it. Made even better by an exhaust, induction kit and remap

[@toninocars]

No, this is a car that looks, feels and drives like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, and it’s the only real heiress of the Japanese magic. Best car of 2020 in all cars not only the hot hatch, real deal. Thanks for sharing. Hope Toyota will extend production and offer it for longer time so more people can have a peace of that cake. 👍🚗

[@jbr_cava]

I love your explanation of the driving experience. It might have been hard to put into words how it feels but I could imagine what it was like through your words

[@fayensu]

Superb, articulate, clear, and informative review.

[@odl21]

Just bought one too. April delivery. Went to test drive it and walked out having bought one!

[@FaithlessEmoRacing]

4:54 incorrect. Normal mode is 60 front and 40 rear. Just FYI.

[@GoodwoodRR]

Yup. we know. Just a miss-speak we didn't notice in the edit.

[@bbdoook]

GR is killing it

[@georgecarter1168]

If your under 5ft 7 the rear seats are brilliant, plenty of room. At 6ft the leg room was fine for me with a 6ft driver its the head room that lests it down.

[@glenndavid8725]

You're a bit late to the party I've already bought one.

[@Mexxx65]

Had any Ford Focus RS's or Mercedes A45 AMG's, bury you yet Lol??

[@johneldepresso]

@@Mexxx65 every journalist praised this thing for being more fun to drive than any hot hatch out there except the civic type r which they say is just as fun, all people care about nowadays is how fast a car can go without realizing you can be a lot slower and have more fun This is why true drivers cars are dying Because if this mentality Even in auto car’s review the journalist said this is more fun to drive than any new supercar out there, heck mat watson is planning on trading his 996 911 for one of these It’s not about the speed, it’s about having fun I dare you to try driving a modern performance car like a new M5 for instance under the speed limit and have any sort of fun at all

[@mad4tar77]

It's a Yarolla !! Nice review, want one, with the softer suspension setup of the convenience pack

[@jeep2003]

Thats pretty great actually. Maybe Honda will come back with a proper cr-z to compete

Is 25 000 cars enough for the world. Toyota would have to keep on producing more of the GR YARIS.

Pop a grand down now or you'll be waiting till October the way this is going. Do the drive anyway of course!

GR Corolla in the US 🙏🏽

[@chriskelvin248]

Was told yesterday GR Yaris in 2021 for US

[@Jamstig83]

@@chriskelvin248 was that from someone credible?

[@chriskelvin248]

@@Jamstig83 I have to be careful what I say. My contact is someone in sales who is a true car enthusiast. On his third modded STI. We have spoken at length about the GRY and he knows damn well what it is. So the question is, do we trust HIS source? It was a company source and not another guy at the water cooler at the dealership. Let's discuss this again in 12 months. We know how the US market sometimes gets the shaft in these performance variants. I just might trade in my Golf R for this.

[@EVO_Engineering]

GR alright, but what happened to TRD?

[@oftengone]

Oh yeah yeah 🤟 good looking car imo

And I really like it, just a cool car, I would love to drive such a car, no problem at all, a very worthy option, I'm waiting, waiting, waiting, I would buy myself without remorse

[@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

So much PR talk. The bodyshell is homologated, pretty much everything else (including the AWD system!) is not based on a road car in any way. PS: I'd love to see Mäkkinen's idea, an AWD Yaris Coupé would be a dream come true.

[@bravofoxable]

A heap of tech in this little bugger.... But I don't know about the "bang for buck"? 🤔

[@franckmstr1621]

This car have a Sat Nav + Android Auto and Apple Carplay support

[@portland573]

Android and Apple integration on all trims (plus reversing camera) why spend on a satnav when your phone will always be better anyway?

[@JMB1891]

I don’t like this guys presenting style.

[@Mexxx65]

But a decent Ford Focus RS AWD, or an old Audi TT RS, would bury this little 3-potter...............and save you a lot of money!!!! And by the way why didn't Citroen with their C3 WRC or Ford with their Fiesta WRC or Hyundai with their i20 WRC, have to make 25 thousand road going AWD versions of their cars???

[@gawe100]

"Unlike the requirements for the preceding Group A cars, manufacturers were no longer required to build "homologation specials" in order to meet approval. The base model did not need to have all the characteristics of the WRC car, as evidenced from cars such the Peugeot 206, 307, Citroën Xsara, and Škoda Fabia, which during this period had no road car variant with a turbocharged petrol engine or four-wheel-drive."-wiki

[@bushmaster4481]

Some people just want a homologation special. I can’t get a Sierra rs500 or integrale or 22b etc, I could go buy this GR4 now. Also the warranty is 10 years here so it’s even more tempting as a long term prospect.
