I may be very wrong in my way of thinking, but for me, that is such a great car. The noise is very unique, the performance specially on Track mode is just perfect and it feels super connected to the road. Plus, it doesn't have any more technology than it needs to have, and that amazes me.

I have about 1300 miles on mine, and I really love it. Might not be as quick as my brother's supra, but it's a very fun car to drive, and I'm always excited to hop in the driver's seat. I play a lot of dirt 2.0 in my racing cockpit so this was exactly the type of car for me. I've been surprised how many people have come up to me to compliment me about the car and ask questions about it. Looks cool, but I didn't think it would grab that much attention, honestly.

I have almost 1,000 mi on my GR Corolla and I was amazed while watching this because you mentioned and described all my thoughts about the car from how fun it is to drive casually, how mechanical and satisfying the shifter is (fun fact, it is derived from the Lotus Evora) and how the engine’s sweet spot is in the mid rang, how the steering feels, etc. The only thing I disagreed was that you said the pedal spacing was beautiful for heel and toe but I think for most people it isn’t haha.

This car is a homerun car fans. Manual, handling, looks and a solid price point. All I wish it was a tad bit bigger. I had a corolla xse hatchback, great car but small for my liking and not a big trunk space. I traded it in after a year for a 2023 civic touring sport. Now I'm left with nothing after my accident. To those who are thinking about these things. They're very fun to drive, handle great, sound great, easy to park to how small it is.

I love what Toyota has been doing with the GR brand: handing out NASA memberships, bringing back proper driver's cars with great execution, starting a new racing series. Really awesome turnaround from a brand like Toyota. However, I will have to continue to sleep on the GR Corolla until they start producing enough to sell! @ToyotaUSA if you're reading this, I'll take a Circuit Edition when you're ready to produce more than 1 per dealership a year!

@ericuyttebroeck
@ericuyttebroeck Жыл бұрын
Really? I find mine unsmooth and laggy to drive in town and stop start traffic. The clutch isn’t too heavy but its strange bite point combined with the very laggy throttle (I can fully depress the throttle quickly with the clutch in without the RPM changing) and zero power/torque under 2,5k rpm make driving off and shifting smooth at low speeds difficult and clunky. If you start driving it like a motorcycle with revs between 3,5 and 5,5k it comes alive and is exhilarating, but kind of antisocial to do this in town/city…😏

@@pieswimmer1 Yes, I own the turbo 4. It's fast when you're inside the power band, which is the way I drive. Also it's rear wheel drive on the Alpha platform that was designed to compete against the BMW 3-series, so it has very good ride/handling/steering/steering feel and a planted stance on the highway. It's very comfortable and refined unless you're flooring it, and then the engine does sound rough. But if you're not driving it at 10/10ths the engine is subdued and refined. I'm getting about 550 miles of range on the highway and can drive the car on long trips without getting tired. And you can get one with a manual transmission.

You can get a wrx for at msrp and is much cheaper at base. You can't get a GR corolla (its basically vaporware) and you won't touch MSRP for a few years at best. So if you want to spend $10,000+ for another 40hp, then go for the corolla GR. Otherwise, do the WRX, bump it up to stage 1 or 2 for just a few K and be sitting right where the 'rolla GR is :) I've owned multiple WRX's, you cant go wrong (except for the looks department in the current version, but thats subjective).

I currently own the GR Yaris, and I am considering trading it for the new 2024 GR Yaris facelift model. I am particularly interested in the digital dashboard from the Corolla and the other improvements that have been made.

Where I live a dealer is trying to sell the core trim for $62,995 🙄

I can’t believe they even sell this without LSDs front and rear. It shouldn’t even be an option. And then it just screws over all the people on the used market who will be looking for these 5 years from now. If only dealers could be trusted to sell the car for its intended price, it wouldn’t be a much of an issue.

As a GR86 owner, would you take this over the 86? (Long time sub btw, love your work! Glad you enjoyed some of our socal roads)
@ShenmueAtheist
@ShenmueAtheist Жыл бұрын
I was wondering this myself for a while and from what I've heard and read, the 86 is a much more focused sports car that will outhandle the Corolla, but in terms of thrills and all around usability the GR Corolla is better. It depends on what sort of driving you enjoy more.

I think the GR86 is ultimately more fun to drive, especially at the limit. But this GR Corolla is really good. Maybe more fun when driven casually? Awesome daily. Can’t wait to drive one on dirt/snow too.

As a daily driver yes. It's got 4 seats and is a hatchback so it's more practical. But if I was only looking for one sporty/track car to use on weekends I'd take the 86 as it's 1) cheaper 2) N/A 3) Actually available.
