Many kudos to Toyota for making the GR Corolla. I sure wish that their production numbers were up for availability and to reduce the profiteering nonsense.
I believe the Circuit has Michelin Pilot Sport 4, not 4S
Can never understand how people are willing to pay mark ups on a car but then again there are idiots who pay subscription for a girl on onlyfans
How the heck does a 1.6L 3cyl produce nearly 300 horsepower? Haven't quite figured that out.
which track is this?
me please🙋♀but sadly probably not gonna happen.
This car is nice but not worth more than $38k.
Honestly your videos flipped my opinion on it since some of the early reviews were equivocal.
Ohh yeaa
its good, but they really should of gave us an i6
Stealerships have killed any enthusiasm I have for cars anymore. Why feel excited for this GR Corolla when it'll cost at least $60k with markups and I'll never be able to own one. Same with the Civic Type Dealer Markup as well.
I have a manual Supra on order, but every time I see the GR Corolla, I sometimes question my choice lol Still trying to convince my wife to get this to replace her Corolla! I'll own one of these some day
It would be great to get one new but I can wait. The market is super crazy on first new cars
can't wait to hear about how this car & the type r "didn't sell well", with no mention of the egregious markup's dealers are gouging customers with.
In addition to the performance the steering wheel design, simple digital cluster, and unobtrusive center console… this interior will age well. We'll be talking about this car in ten years.
Never clicked on a video so fast in my life. lol
15:40 this engine induction noise SOUNDS like a 1.6 4a-ge but is only a 3 cylinder. This is absolutely nuts and i wonder if the engineers looked for the induction noise on purpose. Does this car have itbs?
How does it stack up against the 6 speed WRX? Would love to hear your comparison!
I don't know what it is, but these don't do anything for me. Also, a rear seat delete on a 4-door is kind of dumb.
Cant wait for one to be mine, Got my name down for one and the dealer says im first on the list for 24 which I had specificaly asked for. MSRP as well!
This or your GR86?
I like the Type R a bit more but I’ll be waiting to buy one. The only good news vs the markups is stuff like the Golf R and Elantra N have way less markups and similar performance.
That lil engine gonna go BOOM
Every dealership in my state has a reservation list as long as Santa’s and all of them said maybe they’re getting 1 or 2 in, a couple people said, 2 years to get one, that’s how long the list is. So stupid.
Interior looks like DACIA (RENAULT) LOGAN / SANDERO…. And the Plastics also look Cheap. 👎
At least DACIA is cheaper.
Just think how crazy a time we are living in. Toyota makes a:
3 cylinder
Turbocharged
4 door
Rear Seat Delete
Michelin Pilot Cup 2
Manual hand brake
car
Unbefukinleavable.
I’d buy one if I didnt want to really fly…..hence my 23 Startosphere Blue 3.0 Supra Premium I ordered with the manual. Awesome times.
Seems like a lot of rev hang
I wish we got this in UAE, sadly our dealer only brought GR Supra 🗿🗿🗿
what tires size in morizo?
still too bad it's no GR Yaris
@TheTopher I know you get so many of these questions–but as I doubt I'll be able to get my hands on one to test drive–this or Golf R? Or save money with an Elantra N…
I live in Canada and currently drive a 16 WRX. Want something a little more refined but still fun for autocross, occasional track days. My WRX is too crashy/rough riding as a daily around here, and too noisy on the highway, but I like the character.
Thanks you for that.. great video
Chris, Can anyone name the other Corolla in production with no back seat?
My impression of your reviews on the GR Corolla are that you are underwhelmed with the engine. You describe it as having enough low end torque to pull the car out or a corner, but then comment how the power fades away at the upper end of the tachometer. In your opinion, would the motor become the limiting factor over time to enjoying this car if someone doesn’t care to tune the engine in the aftermarket? I’m anxiously waiting for a review of this car driven on the street and not just the track.
Even if im a huge honda fan this is the better choice than the type r because of awd, torque split etc etc, heck even the core with diff upgrade is cheaper and better choice than the type r. I just cant justify spending 43kUSD/57KCAD on the type R thats only fwd, corolla gr is the better choice or the elantra N.
It´s a very good old school Rally car 👍.
keep in mind it was a hot track day, these things will be MUCH quicker on a brisk cool day.
As soon as they put this engine in the GR86, we'll have a real winner on our hands!
62k for a freaking Corolla 😂😂
Bummer they’re killing the Camaro
Because for that money….unless you need to drive in the snow…SS 1LE destroys this… 51k is bananas for a little hot hatch.
35k to not even have a front LSD is kinda nuts to me.
Would love to snag one someday…. with the backseat I could justify it as a fun dad car lol.
Glad it exists…but between limited production numbers and stealerships….no chance for me….I could swing $37k for a core with performance pack.
Just not sure if a GR86 would be better as a street car for somewhere that won't see snow…? I'm turned off of Subaru powertrains though…fool me once lol
I would love to see the difference between the core model with and without the LSD upgrades. Curious to see how much they actually help with cornering and tight turns.
Man, all these Toyota interiors look Like they are 19 y dated.
After dealer markups who's gonna pay 60k+ for a damn Carolla?
How does this compare to the BRZ? Which would you rather daily? Which would you rather track?
when will they come out they keep changing dates
The type R looks way faster than the Corolla around the track.
Hope you get to drive one of these on the street at some point to see what it's like in a normal use situation.
