This is exactly my plan....

Imagine needing approval from your woman to spend the money you earned on what you want.

@@Whotta yes because thats when things work well. It’s teamwork. Big decisions, like a new car payment, need to be consulted. It has nothing to do with “not being a man” it’s the respectful thing to do for your significant other. And this goes both ways.

@@markg7213 this only applies when you’re not financially independent or “the man”. Yes it is relevant lol. If you need to consult your wife for a $35,000 car or anything, it’s impossible that you are “the man”, and you need to change your financial situation. She’ll never respect you if she sees you need her approval to spend YOUR money. How could she if she ultimately controls your money? It’s weakness, submission, and lack of options. None of these earn respect as a man.

@@Whotta So even with your significant others, you have to lock down certain things? Shouldn’t there be trust? Why does it have to be YOURS, and MY money? If you don’t have trust with each other, then there’s bigger issues. And find me one woman who won’t appreciate her man consulting her about financial decisions. It’s called good communication. NO sane woman would think ill of their husband just for consulting her. It has NOTHING to do with control or submission. It’s RESPECT.

I was thinking, with 40 psi, it'd be making well over 450hp. Either way, I want to get one

Must be 40 psia (which is 25.3 psig)

Maybe in the WRC Yaris. ha!

@@tajo98 I was thinking different units but none of the common ones would end up being 40 =25 psi. I'd imagine you are correct.

LOL @ Certified master builders. I know it's being built in the LFA factory but don't forget, the LFA has stopped production. This is still a high volume model not a 100 volume car. They made some changes in the assembly and some additional weld points. I refuse to believe this is some kind of hand assembled unicorn.

Get that certified master markup

Much appreciated! Thanks for being with us.

Good luck getting it at MSRP.

Depends on what you are looking for. There are a wide variety of options from every manufacturer in every price range. This looks super cool and does an amazing job of building brand awareness and interest.

Ahhh I was young once. Didn’t know all hot “sports” car will have mark up. Good luck getting one. Dealerships will literally price them to m3 range

You can get something better for this kind of money…priced too high.

Hmm... even at the most expensive version, it's only 'just' enough in terms of the interior or visual differences from an econobox Corolla. Just not feeling it for the price.

Thank you. We hope you enjoyed it, and we have another GR Corolla piece coming soon!

Right! I Love these guys!

@@dr.magnanimous8973 Except people actually want to buy these. The only things dealers will cut prices on are the boring, regular cars.

everybody is bitching about mark ups when the car isnt even out yet

@@dr.magnanimous8973 lol they already are. Try calling literally any Toyota dealer and ask if they're doing dealer markups or "market adjustments" on these and 90% of them at least will say yes. I had to call over a dozen dealerships to find one that wasn't doing this and also would actually add me to their waitlist; most dealerships have at least 20 people if not way more who want one. Sadly most dealerships will only get 4 or 5 for all of the 2023 model year, with one maybe being the Circuit Edition. Almost no dealerships with get the super high end trim given how rare those are. My point is, these will absolutely sell the instant they arrive, and most likely well above MSRP.

True story. I called my local Toyota dealer, whom I was assured that no ADM would be applied to vehicles from that dealership after I bought a RAV4 Prime. Guess what? Add $15K if you want a Corolla GR. No thanks.

@@roostafish961 Dealers are going to kill this car before it even arrives.

That's probably why they're so limited.

We hate dealer markups too! But we hope it doesn’t go away like the Focus RS. Ford has completely abandoned small cars in North America, but we don’t envision Toyota doing the same. We’re just happy this made it to production!

According to my local dealer, Toyota has imposed penalties on any dealer trying to charge "market adjustments." The only thing the dealership owner has done is say he's getting the first one allocated and it's sticker pricing for every other one they get in.

You are most likely, right? I do hope your wrong though. If you want one, I hope the opportunity is afforded.

I literally just said the same thing on another video, and people acted like I was crazy.

Thanks Melvin! Really appreciate you being with us. It's a great car and very entertaining to drive.

You're right. We were sent early documents stating incorrect information from Toyota. Correction is noted in the description.

@@EverydayDriver PR people trying to make things sound fancier than they are.

True, but Ford just announced a new gen manual na v8 Mustang with a Tremec transmission option and improved steering, interior etc. They haven't given up on the enthusiast either

@@sunnyvalentino He means the Hot Hatch Segment lol

Thanks very much!

These cars held up well in 100 degree heat and constant tracking during the press launch. We only wish we’d been able to do multiple laps back to back, to really tell. Thanks for watching!

You’re really comparing a focus to a Toyota product?

@@areallytallguy if you knew what a Focus RS does, this doesn't even compare.

@@citrusjuicebox uh I know exactly what a focus RS is buddy. It’s laughable to compare Ford to Toyota reliability.

@@areallytallguy It's laughable that you think a Toyota product is somehow above the same problems that plague all sports cars. FYI overheating in the rear clutch pack is not unheard of in the GRY. It drops out of AWD until the temperature cools down or the ECU is reset.

I felt like 50:50 was better for chasing lap times but 30:70 was a lot more playful.

It’s lots of fun to switch between different torque modes and instantly feel a significant difference. It depends on driving styles, yes, and also what you want to get out of a lap time. The guys found 30:70 playful, but a 50:50 would probably deliver a quicker lap.

I did see another review saying they preferred the 30/70 split as well. It seems to be more about how the driver likes to drive than anything else. The best tool is the one that *you* get the best result with 😉

@Shaboygan Bakalal see engineering explained detailed analysis of the drivetrain, it can't really do that, at least for not more than a moment.

@Shaboygan Bakalal what does that have to do with anything? Yeah, if you rebuild the entire driveline you can make whatever you want. That has nothing to do with what this car can do with a simple software mod. It's FWD with a clutch to connect the rear wheels. It will take an entire rebuild, not a "mod", to make it rear biased.

While it’s possible Toyota made a change since the press launch… at the launch event they were very specific that the seats in the Circuit were different and an upgrade from the base seats in the Core. And the seats definitely felt different. We, and many others, recommended Toyota put the same seats in the Core. Let’s hope they did. Thanks for watching!

500 down here in Aus in the GR Yaris 🎉

We have just the comparison you need coming soon!

Head on over to Throttle House where they put the Corolla up against a Golf R and a WRX.

@@ragweedmakesmesneeze I already saw that, but GR's rivals should be higher-tier performance cars like STI and EVO. And they are all from Japan.

The Mazda 3 doesn’t have a wide body at all

@@yvonjasser rear the rear the hatch

@@philipc239 who care about the hatch door, it is a wide body awd lsd turbo Toyota for god sake. What is next, you don’t like the cup holder?

I have both on order. I have a GR86 for a daily now.

We’re working to put a video together with these. We’ve driven both individually, but are excited to have them back to back.

Corolla has more power, but is heavier, because 4 door instead of 2. That's the only real difference I'm aware of.

We saw them all over and the Nurburgring when we were there over summer. The Yaris is a lot more squat and more reminiscent of an oversized Fiat 500. I like the size of the Corolla better as it is a lot more usable.

It's like 25psi stock. I'm not sure where they got 40psi from. That's more likely to be the tire pressure LOL

We actually read the materials Toyota sends us, and we actually talk to the Toyota people at the event. Max boost pressure on the Core and Circuit editions is stated at 40psi, while the Morizo edition maximum boost is 41psi. Thanks for watching!

@@EverydayDriver I'm pretty sure that the 40PSI is the intake manifold pressure which would have to subtract atmospheric pressure (15 PSI at sea level) and you would arrive at 25PSI of boost. Which is still a lot!

@@EverydayDriver The GR Yaris was producing it's factory power at 19psi... I highly doubt they needed 40psi to hit the power levels the GR Corollas are at.

Quite possibly. We’re sure someone will independently verify the numbers, and perform various tests. 40 is a rather high number! On the other hand, Toyota did not caveat their spec sheet by separately stating manifold pressure, which is either really impressive or slightly concerning! We’re still not sure! Either way, the car makes 300HP with just 3 cylinders? Wow. And it has a warranty.

$40k USD gets a fully loaded core and only 200 people are going to be able to buy a $50k Morizo. The $50k comments are drastically misinformed.

You're drastically misinformed if you think 40K USD is what most people are gonna pay. Spent the last 8 months looking at primarily a GR86 and trust me...there are far too few Toyota Dealers who will sell you ANYTHING at MSRP especially a limited production model. The dealers that say they don't mark up add 4k accessory packages. I'm not paying 45k for a Corolla with base seats when a Camaro on Alpha Platform is in that ballpark. I got my EN 6 SPD for MSRP....

@@MK3504 In Michigan the dealerships in Grand Rapids/Holland are MSRP only. There may be small things like stupid protection packages tacked on for $500 but you're not paying over that. I have it in writing from two dealerships for MSRP on a GRC and I was a few hours late on placing a deposit for a premium Neptune manual GR86 at MSRP. You just need to know where to look.

That's the trade off of you guys getting the Yaris I guess. After seeing some in Germany recently, I like the size of the Corolla better but the Yaris still looked cool!

@@phattyhales personally I love the Yaris in theory but as a daily proposition the Corolla is much more appealing! I really think it would have sold well here... We love a hot hatch!

Do you mean the most exciting car in it's class, or most exciting car period?

If you can’t get oversteer, automatic win for the 86.

I suspect with what I imagine the options will cost the Core with the LSD option and then putting in aftermarket seats is going to be more expensive than just buying the Circuit in the first place. I also don't know that it needs a tune but I know everyone under the sun is probably going to tune them anyway. I just wonder how high strung this engine is out of the box and how well it will take to a tune over time.

A tune? 😂😂 it’s already pushing 25psi.

@@TML34 😅🏁🍾 Well said gentlemen. I personally could never own that car. I'm a wagon fan. Or an old beater Boxster would be nice.

It was taken directly from the Toyota information we were given. We discussed it because it seemed so high. Toyota has since revised the number down to the mid-twenties, which makes more sense. Thanks for watching!

It’s everything I wish the Golf R was. The R is good but it was never all that fun out of the box.

With the current exchange rate that's on about on par for what the Core cost here, $38k

@@phattyhales If GR was built within Canada, it'd be much more affordable. It's about time Canada has it own car company, cause world market sucks. Toyota acts like if's not making huge profit from our undervalued Canadian dollars and rewards with overinflated prices.

@@psewgobind I think you misread what I was getting at. $38k USD is the same money as $50k CAD with today's exchange rate.

@@phattyhales Nope, didn't misread. Fact is, US prices (or conversion) doesn't reflect expected value here in Canada. GR Corolla is too expensive.

Rwd vs awd. It'd apple's to oranges. I prefer rwd.

The error was addressed in the video description.

We have a comparison piece coming in a couple weeks. Therefore we intended this as just a discussion of driving impressions on this car. Thanks for watching!

@@EverydayDriver that's fair... I still figured one of you might have at least mentioned this car in comparison to any other car, whether it reminded you of it or whether for eg. it felt more urgent / less urgent then the golf R. Maybe you went out of your ways to specifically not mention any other car in comparison to this because you'll be having a comparison video in the next few weeks. However I personally would have liked to have heard at least a sentence or two at the end of the video discussing if either of you were more impressed than you expected or less impressed than you expected, or anything. I just felt like you guys were just having a good old track day in the car as opposed to actually reviewing it (which is why I watch your channel because you're so good at getting into the real depth of what makes a car good)

The error was acknowledged in the video description.

@@phattyhales ok, how they could even momentarily believe it though is crazy, not much forced induction knowledge.

@@Senninha1960 Even with plenty of knowledge in a subject, once in a while an authoritative source tells you something and you just don't even think about it. I'm sure that's what happened here.

@@xtnuser5338 it’s actually the only reason it was brought up. Boost numbers isn’t something we’d normally talk about but these figures stood out on the early spec sheet they sent us that it got brought up. In this case, we were stating an incorrect fact that came directly from Toyota.

@@phattyhales that's crazy, big typo from the Gazoo team! 👍🏼

Agreed. I'm betting, it will surprise us with reliability? Hoping?

@@keithjackson4985 I'm hoping but we (enthusiasts) rushed into the 2022 BRZ/86 only to have them kick us square in the nards.

@@aroundomaha I'm sorry that happened man.

The engine has been out a while in the GR Yaris in the rest of the world. I haven’t heard any issues about reliability yet.

@@phattyhales That is a great point. I'll still wait a year to see if they short sheet enthusiast support (autocross/track). Love my BRZ but I could use a four door.

Yet it can't beat the STI dinosaur engine in a drag race haha

Correction noted in description. Thanks for watching.

@@EverydayDriver oh I didn't realize it wasn't right hahaha

@@EverydayDriver 25 is still crazy high, that's diesel level high
