Does it drives like a rally car.

The car is calling me... says "Drive me"... is the insurance ridiculous ?

not worth 45k

This is the amazing thing about this car, the kind of cars enthuisists are coming from or in thier collection, whether they are replacing an existing sports car from higher classes, or adding to thier supercars collection!

I was thinking to buy it but I'm in the 40ties and need a bigger more mature and comfortable car... then I thought that would have pushed me to drive near the limit (too) many times... in any case I'm sure it's a great satisfaction in the wet, it's true what many reviewer are saying about the limited visibility trough the winds shield, caused by the mirror and the display? how are the dampers? can be used also for daily routines or are mostly rigid for sport driving? Great car anyway and thank you to Toyota to bring back this genre of cars in the road

@@GaetanoCrisci I think it could be too rigid for daily, duties, if I could have a supra as a daily and gr as the weekend car I think will be the perfect garage

Ordered mine in March( to replace the '17 Focus RS) without being able to testdrive it - was the best guess/risk I ever made I love that car! It's being modified as we speak because to be honest it sounds like cr*p so air intake and exhaust are being replaced.

Awesome. How long is the wait?

Similar, except after deciding I spent a couple of hours hooning round the Peak District and laughing with the guy from the dealership.

I ordered in December - delivery in April.

@@odl21 soon...

How long did you wait from placing an order? I’ve just ordered one online Xmas Eve

@@markhowe5805 I bought a car that someone else ordered and haven't taken. So I got mine after four days of waiting :-)

@@markhowe5805 ordered mine in August 2020, collect mid-January 2021, if that helps.

Me too

I think the mini GP is better but only on wet road, just for the fun and not for rally....I think the Yaris is To easy To ride in normal condition, and not as exiting the Mini GP

Here in Germany there even isn't such thing as the "Convenience Pack" our only option is the here called "High Performance Pack" (the Circuit Pack).

Right?

You guys don’t buy small cars.

Americans wouldn’t get it.....

Yes but because it's a homologation special and limited numbers it should always be a desirable car.even guy that have porcshe , Ferrari's etc are amazed at the car and have bought one

Hyundai i30 N is mega, great car to drive. But the GR Yaris is miles ahead in terms of performance. And it's more fun to drive - Cam

@@YesAutoUK Watching back over some older GR reviews. Funny to see some of the comments re spec decision! Currently drive an i30N performance pack, with michelin ps4s's replacing pirelli pz4's. GR in different league as soon as it's cold, damp and greasy! Went for uk convenience pack 😊 My 3 test drives in circuit pack were with esc on, as you and most journalists and potential buyers have driven it. Couldn't feel the 2 lsd's activating. That's because they weren't. Needs esc disabled for that! Mine is going to be a road daily only, leaving esc ON. Prefer the standard enkei wheels and grey callipers, will immediately change the average dunlops to ps4s's or better. Goodyear f1 supersport or the latest Bridgestone potenza sport probably!? Waiting for latest Tyre Reviews test. Car due in a couple of months. Will benefit from a more supple road suspension set up, discreet ambient lighting by inner door handles, rear cross traffic alert and emergency braking, parking sensors front and rear, blind spot monitor to offset the atrocious rear three quarters visibility, hud and uv windscreen, better stereo and speakers and built-in sat nav without an annoying cable attachment and phone flying about. Circuit pack toyota hype imo 😉. Yes, if it's a spare toy for racing and you're going to be turning off esc in order to benefit from the 2 lsd's and want to power drift, the circuit pack is beneficial. Most who buy it and use it only/mainly on the road could have saved 3.5K in the standard car and just changed the tyres!!

If those are what you want you’d be better off with a Golf R, the GR isn’t that sort of car

Finally a homologation model yaris its been years since toyota made anything as near to the gt4.. its a cool car and well engineered something different.. always loved the gt4 800 horses is crazy lol im running 400 and thats good enough for now

What, I drove it and I had a completely opposite feeling the steering is sharp and crisp, it's amazingly fast at least faster than my Fiesta St, but yes the seating position is a little bit high but it isn't that bad, and the gearbox is probably one of the best I've ever shifted in my life, up there with the civic type r and from all the reviews they have a different opinion to yours lol, but it's all down to personal preference

i have to agree on my 2 seperate test drives....

Sounds like you were driving a Yaris Icon and a grandma was test driving the GR !

@@4Kandlez ha ha im no grandma driver just did,nt find it that good and i have owned many toyotas and have owned many fast cars, in my 30 + years of driving,thats my opinion of the car, also crap mirror in your viewing position is dangerous to me ,and found the gearbox no where near as good as the type r

@@neubs1969 Wasn't implying anyone was a grandma, my reply was to the original poster with a bit of wit. Stay safe

Here august ;)

Well that's not how i interpret it. I think he was pointing to the fact that some cars are really good but mostly in the sun and they lose traction when it rains while this doesn't. Top gear was driving an Evo vs a Maclaren or Lamborghini and it destroyed it on track. This yaris ia obviously much better than the price suggests so overhyped i dont think. The problem with many cars is that they might be faster in a straight line but they can't keep traction at the same speed as the yaris around a corner.

It's just his opinion. Chill out.

Did you drive it?

@@yaylalimete no thanks.

@@alengreen589 As I expected...making comments without driving lmao

@@yaylalimete this little tiny car cost here in Germany with Perform. Pack 38000 € ( 46500 $ ) for the same money i can buy a much bigger fully loaded new Hyundai I30 N with 280 HP 8 Speed DCT or for 24000 € ( 29500 $ ) a Ford Fiesta ST with 200 HP + Stage 1 tune for 800 € = 240 HP and the car goes 250 KmH on the Autobahn the Yaris is Limited at 230 KmH.

@@alengreen589 Do you know this car made for 4wd rally and track driving experience?You are just talking about speed and horsepower...
