VLOG: 06 Do I regret buying the GR Corolla ?

with so many options in the car market today how can one truly be happy with their car selection !! so many great cars how can a car manufacture stand out... with the over electrification why not conform like sheep?
Toyota had one shot at creating a Hot hatch and guess what? they hit it out the park with this one !
Oh, and I got an Osmo pocket 3! filming like a pro

Enjoy… I’ve had my 2023 Corolla GR since 13 months. My mods SXTH Intercooler and full custom charge pipes hot & cold with custom clamps that it everything else stock. My car makes 303whp and 310tq on a mustang dyno.. you don’t have to do much to gain some good power. I’m happy with this power level. The only other mod I will do next is endless low dust pads and Giro Disc floating rotors and a pitch mount insert.

[@UrbanBryan]

@@mhk67091 that sounds like a solid set up ! Who are you tuned by this is all good knowledge 🔥✅

[@mhk67091]

Actually stock tune for now.. but doing ECUTEK eventually so I can get that power earlier in the rev range. My dyno run was on a mustang dyno it’s on face book done in mid July last month.

@@mhk67091you dyno’d the car and kept it on the stock map lol ?

[@mhk67091]

@@halorita just for now. Will be doing ECUTEK just waiting for a few things. My friend works at a performance shop and they have a mustang dyno. They don’t have the license for ECUTEK for the Corolla GR.

I've had mine for the same amount of time as you. 6+ months. I was lucky enough to get it at MSRP. I really enjoy driving GR Corolla. Really fun to drive when conditions are more wet and etc.

[@jimsgaragetoys]

Congrats on the GRC. I love my GRC. I have a 23 loaded Core that I got for MSRP. I now have almost 11k miles on it and it was amazing taking it on a 5300 mile road trip. I do a lot of videos from maintenance to mods that I do so feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions! 😍

Got a blue circuit at MSRP a month ago. I love it. Especially agree with everything you said about the size. It’s perfect!

[@edselsugay4768]

Great honest vid. Thank you. I’m considering taking the plunge. YOLO.

[@TerryManitoba]

Agreed - I have a GRC circuit (white) - & love it. Size - I think it is a good size and weight - I initially would have preferred the GR Yaris - but wouldn't change my GRC now that I have it. People/YT'rs who compare a smaller car (GRC) to a bigger car (type R) and complain that there isn't enuf room in the smaller car - is simply stupid. If you 'need' a bigger car then go buy an fn a bigger car! DUH...🤡 I have a Fiesta ST (love it) & sold a 993 & an 07 GT3 during covid - I prefer the GRC to those 3 cars as a daily fun car.👍I am gaining on a 5K miles road trip (to the mountains) and I think I will appreciate the GRC as a whole even more after this.

I don’t regret purchasing mine.. 1 year and 3 months with mine Grc.. with 7500 miles I love my car 🚗 .. it’s a fun Corolla .. what could I say.. just enjoy it ..bro ..

@@UrbanBryanI’m Contemplating getting a Circuit Edition. Hard choice to make. It will be my first performance car if I decide to purchase.

[@UrbanBryan]

@@bm717252 since they are discontinuing them moving forward next year there is that added value that there are only going to be 1500 CE ever made ! So if you can find one for MSRP it can be a solid Choice! Cool to see you getting into performance car ! I’m sure it’ll take good care of you I love mine ! Toyota really got this one right !

That automatic transmission gon a be fire

[@UrbanBryan]

The face lift is cool idk about the auto but I’m sure the DTC will shift faster than manual 😅 and the launch control gonna be cool !

[@photo_n_art]

The new '25 GRC is not DCT it is DAT (Direct Automatic Transmission)... It is tweaked "old-school" close-ratio torque converter transmission... Noting revolutionary 🤷‍♂️

[@UrbanBryan]

@@photo_n_art ah I see yea I was a little confused some ppl saying DCT others DAT but either way I’m sure the auto fans will be happy with it

[@photo_n_art]

@@UrbanBryanno worries man, great video either way 😎👍

[@JeYo91004]

what’s your opinion about the 2 gr corollas burning down recently and toyota avoiding honoring their warranty? R u concerned about urs possibly having that issue too? I was highly considering getting one within a year however seeing that news im a little on the fence now ngl

[@UrbanBryan]

@@JeYo91004 right it’s so much going on and it’s crazy that it happened twice I feel their handling the situation pretty poorly but I’m Forsure going to wait and see what comes out of it I feel it’s not over yet but I don’t think the car is going to burst on to flames not something to worry about but if you wanna hear more of my thoughts I just uploaded a video on my take on this where I really dig into everything that I believe !

[@bigboy6969100]

My le cost 30 k but my insurance gave me 10 so it really cost me 20

[@photo_n_art]

From all the cars you have mentioned WRX is the worst, not only looks but also performance... Enjoy your GRC 😎👍

[@LostEvil125]

I like the look of gr corolla and trying to get one for 2025, but all my friend recommand me to buy type r instead.

[@UrbanBryan]

@@LostEvil125 I think it just depends on what you like I feel interior and size the type r is nicer inside it’s a bigger car but only has 4 seats the suspension is dialed in and she shifter it’s better . . But the GRC offers a more compact feel is AWD still handles great and is equally as reliable! Personal AWD is a non negotiable for me but some people don’t really care But it’s hard to find a type R for MSRP but if you can it can be a great buy also

[@supermagicblackhole]

I've heard the same, but I can't drive manual, nor do I want to. Sadly, I don't think the Type R will every be automatic, so I'll probably pull the trigger on the 2025 GR Corolla

[@LostEvil125]

@@supermagicblackhole yes, GRC will have automatic in 2025

[@mikem6792]

​@@supermagicblackholewhy don't you want to learn stick? It's honestly so much more fun. It's not as bad in traffic as people make you think. Honestly so glad I learned on my '23 brz. It's way easier than you'd think Otherwise, consider the Elantra N too. DCT feels good and it's a few years into lifecycle

[@YoshimiPinkRobot]

What about a golf r?

[@UrbanBryan]

@@YoshimiPinkRobot I feel like it can be a solid choice but maybe last gens I don’t like the styling of this years fast lift and all the tech feels like a nightmare to upkeep after a few years ! But I’ve always liked the platform!

[@1lepandaboyy766]

Gr is pure trash. 48k for 240hp is completely crazy. You can buy a camaro or Mustang for less and look , sounds 100 times better
