The 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is finally here in America, a potent hot hatch with 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, and a clever AWD system letting the driver choose between various torque splits (60/40, 50/50, and 30/70). It's a riot to drive, and worthy of its price tag.
In this video we'll discuss the 1.6L 3-cylinder turbo, 6-speed manual transmission, AWD system, suspension, wheels, brakes, tires, and what it's like to drive on both the road and the track!

If you want a practical daily, the Corolla makes more sense than the Yaris. If you want something more fun, the 86 makes more sense than the Yaris. Imo, we're not missing out much.

I actually don't know if it would be that useful for learning. I think it's a gimmick to entice people unsure about manual transmissions, but it seems that the car helping you give enough throttle when you don't give enough yourself would be training you wrong. And auto revmatching is just lazy, that's not something you need to be able to do to drive stick anyways, it's something you'll develop over time.

For experts (me) it takes a little bit of fatigue out of my drive. I can rev-match on my own. Hell I can upshift without the clutch because I’m THAT in tuned with my car. But that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate being able to just slam the can in a lower gear and have the car work out the matching engine speed for me 🤷🏾‍♂️ It’s kinda like adaptive cruise and lane trace assist. Yes I can control my own dam throttle and keep my car in the lane by my damn self, but having the car do it for me while I just hood the steering wheel and relax my foot near the peddle is so much easier.

When they announced it I was worried that they will only put the GR logo on a pimped FWD Corolla and that's it. But wow they truly did a scaled up Yaris GR with nice 3/6 engine sound, a decent manual gearbox and a tail-happy AWD. Really a love letter to all petrolheads! Hats off to them and let's hope Toyota's take on the haldex will be more reliable than VAG's! Btw will they do a station wagon version too? That would be a mini Avant Quattro challenger! :D

@smellyfish36 Жыл бұрын

Its not a haldex, unless you put it into dyno mode it is permenant 4WD unlike haldex which is 2WD most of the time. Its system is closer to the focus RS's but with a LSD instead of clutch packs on the rear

@Blazs120gl Жыл бұрын

@@smellyfish36 I get it, I was referring to it as a haldex because it employs the same layout (just like all transverse engine 4WD solutions). It also has the same hotspots as a haldex, the wear of the clutch pack in the rear transfer unit and the complexity of haldex, as opposed to traditional quattro systems that may have electronic assitance but the power transfer function is mechanic. Hopefully these things are built to last and will not turn the clutch packs into silver goo, clogging the pump unit like those VAGs and Volvos... :( Having had a Quattro and now having a haldex I can really appreciate the efforts Toyota is doing here to give 60% rear bias! :D

“This is better”. Yes. The Corolla GR showcases why 90’s Supras are 6 figures. When Toyota sets their engineering team free, we see greatness. Like the Mark IV Supra, like the Celica, like the GR Corolla. This car is everything we Toyota fans want. However, I don’t think anyone disagrees when I say the Mark V Supra would have been substantially better IF Toyota decided it was worth the in house R&D the Yaris/Corolla GR received. After 20ish years Toyota has finally given us a pure Japanese sports car to relish.

Modern design (e.g. VAG and others) has the turbo bolted directly to the head with the exhaust manifold integral to the cylinder head.

The best looking hot hatch was my long gone Alfasud 4 door. It was impossible to unstick, had four decent discs and the Alfa boxer engine was a 7000 rpm screamer and a 512bb type exhaust note. Front and back were very spacious. Light and very low cgi. Rust got it.

I do wish we got the Yaris too. 440 pounds is a lot to not just accelerate but to slow and turn as well.

My friend, wondering your thoughts on this car compared to your experience with the previous Type R and how well-engineered its engine is. Is it that good to the previous one and knowing the new one is around the corner!

Nice review, good to see the USA finally getting a Japanese car :) Just a note, the Yaris has 268hp in many countries.

I follow your great videos! They are awesome!. Quick Question? Do you know if the new Civic Type R is Port and Direct Injected? Thanks!

Not a cash grab, it's a challenge, a passion project unlike new Supra. He get's it.

Can’t wait for the GR86 with that 3-cyl! What the GR86 really needs is a reliable and good Toyota power plant!

yaris is cool, but practicality is important at the end of the day. price is little higher than i expected, but that’s 2022 for you, brave new world.

Yes! A car like this exists! Manual ONLY. It looks great, it's small, has an excellent drivetrain, and it's (allegedly) available.
