I gotta say, the over takes to show you switching cars is a REALLY nice touch

I have the GR Yaris and that’s a little rocket! But in terms of daily drive, comfort and looks, TYPE R is hands down the winner. It just gives that timeless appeal! Don’t get me wrong that Type R is a quick hatch!

battle of the dealer markups

I’d choose the Type R any day

Just FYI GR Yaris and GR Corolla has a soft limiter in 1st/2nd so you only get full turbo boost in 3rd. (Done purposefully by Toyota to protect engine/turbo under warranty) You can drop it from 3rd to second and floor it and it'll go nowhere fast , it'll feel like massive turbo lag where you feel like you are barely accelerating at all , with no way to remove it unless you custom tune the ECU so be very mindful. Also for future FL5 owners , even with 265 wide tires it'll wheelspin in 1st-2nd on warm tires if you floor it (even with stock PS4S tires) , you will have to load the throttle progressively for best results. it is not a car built for drag racing from a standstill but from a roll , only way to combat it is to either fit stickier tires (semi slick's / R compound) or extra supporting mods like an anti lift kit and Polybush the lower torque mount with Powerflex or Whiteline and cross your fingers , but it will be extremely close in cornering capability on the limit to the GR Corolla if not better. Honda have truly engineered the Type R to carve up corners and hit circuits (from factory). Anyone that has the opportunity to get either car is extremely lucky , but both cars try and target a particular audience , yet both cars have personalities that are total opposite of one another. Both have the capability to do what you want it to do , but do it in completely different ways. If you can test drive both before you make a decision then do so , otherwise comparing these 2 cars head-head is extremely difficult. At this price-point both cars are very high priced and its important you pick the car based on your own desires/wants. If you want my pick Daily: GR Yaris/Corolla Track: CTR I only say this because i now daily the CTR and the 30 profile tires are amazing on good roads but is super bumpy on less then ideal roads even in comfort mode , the car absorbs the bumps fine via the electronic suspension through the cabin so you don't get a sore back but its just the annoyance of having a super stiff setup from factory , anyone with the CTR i advise dropping to 18s with a 35 or 40 profile tire. its simple physics. That's my only neg otherwise its a fantastic car all around. Good luck guys , enjoy it while you can. This IS the golden age of ICE cars. Drive fast but responsibly. P.S for the video poster , you can turn off the fake engine noise if you set it to individual mode by holding up and just dial up all the other settings to your preference except the fake engine sound. It is still as simple as 3 button pushes.

I can feel your passion for cars through the screen bro. It's what kept me watching all the way through till the end.

You can't go wrong with both brands. both Toyota and Honda are equally good and reliable.

CIVIC TYPE R 🔥

I would choose the Corolla just because of the AWD

I wish they would make a 2 door Type R again

I love your style of editing! Great Video!

I’m a Honda guy but you just can’t beat the AWD system

Beautiful review and analysis! Lovely production as always

dang dude, your videos are quality - keep it up

Love how ALL this reviews between this two are always in a nice sunny day. I mean almost half the year we get rain and snow in a lot of areas..

For those wondering, the Civic Type R and and Civic Si (respective year) have Adaptive Sound Control, which is what he means by "Fake engine noise." Essentially, theres a microphone near the engine, and it records and plays that audio through the car speakers. Its purely for the enjoyment of the engine noise, but can be annoying for content creators and people who enjoy quiet rides. You can disable it in settings with these newer models, but the older ones need the mics removed to turn it off (its a fairly simple process, but personally i like the noise! Makes me feel like im doing more than i am lmao).

Well done video, and great start to the channel. In 4 mos just impressive how much it's already grown. Who owns Sleepy Garage?

The Corolla's interior seems to have been an afterthought. It looks so cheap and doesn't even have an armrest. I do like that it is an AWD but besides that I'm taking the Type R 10 out of 10 times.

Wow best compare video i have seen yet, so many points and information, thank you for a great video. Going a check if you got one on the Golf R MK8.

Love the video! I had to do a double take when I saw your sub count, I thought you''d for sure have at least 100k+ subs. please keep at it!!!

Amazing review!

Awesome review.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great review. Can you also review the 2021 STI ?

nice review. nice graphic as well!

Very nice review and comparison. Both are super nice cars!

…best comparison of these two i’ve ever seen

Awesome video, and comparison. Btw, where in Ontario can find road like this?

I just got my GR Corolla circuit edition and it definitely puts a smile on my face when I drive it.

It's all personal preference now and I love it! They both are great cars so it just depends on you. I'm leaning toward the Type R love the interior and that Honda shifter.

Awesome video! I have a deposit down(at MSRP) on both, so I'm waiting patiently for my number to be called. I love both of them for what they offer. If push comes to shove, I would take the FL5. It just feels a little more special inside and out plus has more usable space for when we take the kiddos with us on drives. You simply can't go wrong with either though! Long live the petrol hot hatch!!!

Subscribed just on the intro ! You had me hard ! Cheers from France !

Nice review! Where in ontario are these roads? Im in the GTA and finding twisty roaeds are impossible. Keep up the good work 👍

The TypeR is the naturally pick for me as the GR is just too tiny for a tall guy like me and it's backseat are useless

I love ripping it on Forks. It always makes my day. I wanted a GR Corolla but got an Elantra N instead. Am very happy.😊 Hopefully my friend will get his FL5 soon.

Great comparison on the best hot hatches available

Both insane

2:20 the heat extractors on the Circuit's bulge hood are real and functional

Would love to see the Morizo go up against the FL5, in the wet, on that same mountain road.

So the pumped on audio, is it from the actual exhaust or no? If so, it shouldn’t be a big deal

Thank you for this review. Im shopping for one now. I agree with everything you said. I'm wondering a bit though if I can place an after market drivers seat in the GR to lower it.

The GRC does have a heated steering wheel in Canada. 18:57 you can see the button on the left side.

Good review

i have seen both in person and drove both, i just personally perfer the R better...there are lots of things that the GR does that's great, but i think the styling and how the R looks just fits better for me personally more than anything else.

Ok, that intro 👏 just lower the volume of the music. I wana hear the cars! Btw the GR hood vents are functional 😊

yo sleepy garage this is an amazing video and i love the road yous filmed this on so where can i find this road

I have circuit edition. I think you should mention a bit more about the GR FOUR system. Its not your ordinary AWD folks. It is a different animal.

I think you touched on a lot of things that many people never mention and you drove these cars where they are intended to be driven. I drove both before buying a GRC because I found it more fun. I didn't like the size of the CTR and I hate the red interior. I also got heated seats and steering wheel in the GRC. And did I mention the actual hand brake? I also love the true hot hatch design of the GRC. The CTR is not a hatch at all, it's a lift back. If I wanted a more refined car there are plenty of cars to choose from, but wanting a more fun car, that can be enjoyed year round with the benefit of the AWD.

The sound and DNA of the GRC is why ill always choose it. I absolutely love the sound every day on ky commute. All the sounds if the G16E-GTS, the turbo noise, blow off. Its such fun, and so raw! Great video, I love that both of these are available.

They both great cars and they hold their value

im owning GR yaris & FK8R, if you have to choose, just choose Type R / FL 5.

You guys should try out an Elantra N

Good review. Better than most.

Front wheel drive I never had issues with it honda type R for me I like all the red sporty

I have both 2023 gr corolla core with performance Package and 2018 type R i tink I'm a blessed man

I'm not too impressed with the Toyota as it has a number of heat related problems if you race it. On the street it might be ok for a burst of speed every now and then. The Civic seems much more sorted out and balanced, plus it just flat out looks great. Actually the Golf R (not included here) is the all around winner by quite a large margin IMO.

You knew what his preferred option would be at the start by looking at his shirt.. CTR is the better daily for sure.

Awd corolla is good but, More things= more parts broken in future. 2wd anterior honda is unbrekeable.

Where are you driving in this video ahhh needa go there

what cameras do you use

Honda looks now more grown up and mature ..❤

both cars are extraordinarily marked up

I love both but the GR Corolla is really something else

Also, remember for the Corolla there’s even a higher performance track trim call the MORIZO.

At the start of the video, there were these two cars, then an older Golf came over the hill..... I thought there was going to be some kind of twist to the story!!! LOL

where is this twisty road mai know??? near Toronto?

Another great video mate :) Out of these two and an M340i.... which would you have? Cheers Don, Perth W.Australia, 2020 M340i xDrive (YT: Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)

Didn’t live the clutch engagement on the GR. Clutch and transmission on the R is next level. That said, I agree that both cars would make the perfect garage.

The honda just has it all, shows you dont even need AWD.....can be a track car and family car....has big ass tyres and looks legit inside and out.....plus it has way more modifying options namely spoon/mugen/prl

Tell me if I'm wrong, but less displacement and much more power means less life for your engine?

Nothing beats a CTR in its category

Love my Corolla GR Core paid 38200 plus tax.. I would love a type R however that’s 20k more(to expensive for what you get). The GR Corolla is worth what you pay for it plus it’s AWD unlike the type R.

Whereabouts are the hairpin corner?

Corolla vs Civic fight will last for decades.

I've seen both in the flesh and the FL5 is very understated to the point where you hardly notice it. The Corolla on the other hand stands out substantially more. If I had to choose I'd get neither and get the Yaris instead.

My 2 favourite brands

You can turn the engine sound off by using individual mode. Just turn everything to R mode except for the engine sound and its the same thing as R mode but without the sound

Civic type r ❤❤ una leyenda.

Only bad thing about the AWD on the GR is that it Overheats and subsequently disables itself, since they put the exhaust system so close to the clutch pack. Huge design flaw for track.

I'm no longer considering a Japanese brand, but if I go back to one. It will be the overprice overhyped type-r

both fun to drive. would never swap either for any european or amercan car

Thankfully you can disable the fake noise in the R in under 30mins by unplugging a module in the dash. Now I can actually hear the engine a bit, still doesn't sound all that great though.

Hard to pick..but maybe the Honda because of the space and better interior

You didn’t talk about the giant heavy flywheel on the GRC.

if you want a track car - fl5/fk8 - if you want an all weather beater - golf R, gr corolla.

I’ve got one, now I just need the other.

Type R on order let’s goooooooo🎉

Where exactly is this road

Toronto?

Both great cars definitely. But me, GR, if your buying this type of car for fun you're not bothered about interior surely? GR is just way more special then the civic. AWD system and handling is on another level.

Type R rips so damn hard. Love it

How does the Elantra/ Mazda equivalent compare? After watching this video I feel Toyota GR is probably better for Canada unless I plan on more kids for the honda seating haha!

nice roads, where's this ?

Love my GR Corolla CE!

you shot this video at Fork of the Credits didn’t you :) I often ride my bike up there

Great video presentation 💪. I like the type R a bit better, mainly due to the interior, but living in NY, Id opt for the AWD ,Toyota.

Bought the corolla bc so much fun

Imagen if Toyota and Honda would work together ❤

Both over priced for my poor ass

I don't know. Between these two cars, they feel very similar. For the most part. I've driven both and they are just fun to drive! I can go with any of those cars. There's not one that truly stands out over the other. It's really personal preference and styling. I'll stick with the GR Corolla because of its reliability and handling. As for the interior, I don't really care about it either. It's the driving experience that gets me. Like the guy said in this video, you can make the entire interior of the GR Corolla crap and I'll still buy it! And trust me when I say this, the GR Corolla is really, really fun to drive if I MUST choose between the two cars. But that's just my own personal opinion. I like the "feel" and it's like my body and the car itself, is one. You know what I mean? Like the Corolla responds to the way I want it to, like it knows how I want to handle the tight curves, and turns and when I need that extra "oomph". I don't get that with the Type R. This review video is definitely the best review I've seen so far between these two cars. Totally unbiased, real, and there are points made I've never heard of before. That's what makes this video #1 in review so far between the Type R Civic and GR Corolla.

Forks of the credit?
