Is this a scenario of "don't meet your heroes"? I've been daydreaming over this seemingly mundane hatchback... but haven't had the opportunity to drive one. Decided to take the plunge and bring you guys along for the ride!

Eh... with some mods that drastically increase cooling? Maybe. I'm still not convinced the GR Corolla was ever fully tested for track use. It's got too many issues for that to have been the case, and I say this as someone who really likes the idea of this car and what it represents. On a backroad that's wet or snowy, this thing will be great. Even on dry pavement, it certainly wouldn't be bad. On a track, though, with even normal use after a couple laps? No. Not really. I've seen and heard the stories.

@@Magicwand08 I would agree with you if this was the GR Yaris. It isn't. It's an AWD hot hatch that's based on the $20k Corolla platform. Obviously, there's been a lot of fundamental changes made to the car which get it to the level of performance it has, but to say it was designed for gravel or dirt is just being dishonest. It wasn't. It was fundamentally designed to be a road car for daily use, as well as some spirited driving. Toyota knew for a fact that people would track this car; hence them offering the Morizo Edition for people who want that much more performance on track. The major issue with the car is that it isn't built well enough to handle track use (even including the Morizo Edition). Like I said already: even normal track use (seven tenths to eight tenths) is going to result in this car overheating and showing major signs of performance degradation. You simply can't track it reliably. I wish you could, but the reality is that you cannot. The GR Corolla is a backroads monster and seems to be amazing in snowy conditions, but on track, it falls short in many key areas. From everything I've seen and read, that's just the reality of the situation.

We have the exact car you have (white Circuit edition) and the first thing you have to change is the tires. Put 265/35-18 Bridgestone RE71R tires on it. Align it with zero toe front and rear, -3 camber front and -2 camber rear. To get it to rotate in stock form, inflate rear tires to 65 psi. Also, you have not shut off all the nannies yet-turn on rev matching, press GR Track, then Sport mode then push AND HOLD the traction control button until "Expert" disappears from the dash-then you have nannies turned off

Buying a dream car so to speak is a very special time in ones life. I have been fortunate enough to be one of those, in 2003 bought a then new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 was the 2nd registered owner of one in California, the 1st being Mitsubishi in Cypress CA that Evo was used as a Press Car. In 2006 I traded my Evo 8 for a 2006 Evo 9 MR, and then in 2012 Evo X GSR with Sight and Sound. Performance wise, all 3 off the Evo's would keep up with this new GR4 which tells you how good the Evo was when we (in the USA) first got them. I am not mocking the GR4 at all, Happy Toyota FINALLY made a car I wouldn't mind owning, but they just brought it in 10 yrs too late. Then on top of that Toyota has no control over the Dealerships, or in most cases "Stealerships". In 2006 My Evo 9 MR for example was one of 600 made and I paid MSRP back in 2006. Why on earth Toyota feels $5k plus on these cars is "OK" is beyond me and the Dealers should be ashamed of themselves. Question on the GR4 though, is there no Center Armrest? When I went to test drive one it didn't have one, but it was a "Core" model, and I noticed this "Circuit" model didn't have one either. Is it an option or something? I would like a center armrest. The GR4 isn't the best looking thing out there, but its not the ugliest either, I noticed too my knee would hit the dash on the left side at times too, just enough little things to make me not want to pull the trigger on one. To those that did get one, and its your dream car, Congratulations, and enjoy it. GR4 really is a modern "Evo" in my eyes, and I respect it for that reason👍

I brought one (2024 Corolla GR GTS) about a month ago, mainly because I don't fit in a Nissan Z or Toyota Supra ( Im 6"6) - My previous car was a Mercedes CLA 250 Stage 2 tune. Mate, this is the best decision I've made... this thing is quick and the Japanese have done amazing work on the exhaust, Ive heart aftermarket exhausts on this car, but the stock exhaust sounds the best

I have a 24 GRC premium and love it, If you want to pep it up the car really likes a downpipe and a tune. Heat soak is a big problem with the stock intercooler so upgrading that helps too. Other bolts ons will get more power like an intake but you can put a performance filter on the stock box and a Velossa Tech snorkel and the stock box does well. Catbacks dont seem to gain much when it comes to power but the stock catback is heavy and there's lighter options aftermarket. Ohlins is getting their coilovers ready to come to market and we hope to see them available by late August or September if you want a better shock and spring setup. You may want to break open the head and put different valve springs in the motor if you really push it because valve float becomes a problem once you start getting asking for more power.

I bought my GR Corolla Circuit Edition a month ago. I absolutely love it and it’s one of the best driving cars I’ve ever owned and driven out of the box! I’ve had almost every era of M cars from E36 up to the F82 M4 and literally was looking at a 2023 M3 with 1,000 miles on it and I chose the GR circuit over that. Half the price and not as fast but just as good! And I paid msrp for it!

I had a 2012 Corolla s, I was like 17 then and the freakin handbrake turns were hilarious. Also insane amounts of angle for tray drifting😂😂

It’s almost impossible to unstick them in the dry, but they dominate in the wet. The moment you remove the grip the car comes alive. Rather quick on a road course too. I appreciate your review style, you got straight to the things that matter.
