and its the best one

Exactly what I was gonna say

I would have no idea anyone "reviewed" this hopped up shitbox car. This channel is about the videos, the driving style, the reactions to the emotional involvement, the historical experience and thus total package of the video.

100%.

Harry and Chris Harris. Harry to see if it's a good car for me. Chris just for insanity :)

Amanda, not just Steve, Harry and Chris, who are all terrific. If you have time, please check this one out from down under (so you get the benefit of good weather and interesting roads too). It adds a little extra. Hope you agree. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7hkd9p9z5yWook.html

I haven’t watched it all yet and this is first of Harry’s videos I’ve seen. I like Chris Harris but some of the things he mentioned were completely pointless. Fact is, you can’t drift it around on roads or track like he does in his videos, so his main point was completely flawed. Just seen Rory Reid’s review who drives like a normal person, and he said there was barely a notable difference between the 3 driving modes. Again, I appreciate the technology etc, but a a good FWD or RWD car can be just as much fun to drive on road or track. Being 4WD with not 1 LSD but two, doesn’t automatically make it any better to drive than other hot hatches. I need to try one, but haven’t bought into the hype just yet.

@@NickG24 Watch our "Does it deserve all the hype?" review Nick, and you'll see normal but spirited driving on twisty public roads, and yes you can feel the difference between the modes. We're not drifting it, because that's just not the way people drive on public roads, but we can still drive it hard enough to assess the various modes. Spoiler alert : Many things good, some things not so good.

Awwww no matt watson

Henry catchpole, who also is from evo back in the day. Carfection is amazing, check them out. He also reviews like Harry but in a much shorter video. brutally honest too

Same here, cuz roma is stunning but with dumbass electronics that nobody wants and the money it costs is off putting. Yaris gr is an "affordable" fun machine with a manual and proper awd system

Affordable hot-hatches and small sportscars are in short supply. Even if you can’t afford one new - the GR Yaris is something many can aspire to in a couple of years - in the second hand market.

@@jaglemans6778 How many are they making? IF, if, you'll ever find a used one for cheap it'll be good and clapped out.

@@kiisu74 Toyota 5 year 100k warranty which includes trackday use

@@kiisu74 I believe they are supposed to make 25.000 GR Yaris, but it is very popular worldwide and maybe they will make more. Heard somewhere it works like ordering the Merc GT BlackSeries, limited series in time that it can be orderd, not in numbers.

You've got it! It's a bit of a Gordon Murray/F1 moment, or Horacio Pagani and Zonda but at a much more affordable level car. It takes one man's vision to make something like this to happen in the car world and it doesn't occur very often..

It's a Toyota, of course it's good

Biposto or the Guilia Quadrifoglio are the only respectives that come vaguely close I guess. Tis a shame they can’t match the reliability and purity of the Yaris.

@@dragospahontu not every Toyota is good, but their recent models have been.

@@matthewp9015 all Toyota's are good from the Yaris to the Camry they try to make them as good as possible in their class, always punching above their weight.

Not Matt Watson?!

@@geoffreyaugust0 not

Harry, Chris Harris & Steve Sutcliffe are the GOAT car reviewers.

@@Jinsun202 I'd add Catchpole to that group as well.

Agree but I’d add Henry Catchpole

Unless you're tall...

@@averagepal572 Think he was okay in the driving seat, but looks difficult if u have to wear a helmet. Passenger seat......that looks really difficult.

@@averagepal572 £100 and you can lower the seats

@@93455Driver I'm not sure on Harry's height but I don't think he's over 6ft... being 6ft4 myself the civic fk8 is the better option for those longer people out there.

@@MrAndyj007 how?

They need to just keep manufacturing for everyone that wants one. Until I can afford to order one at least.

@@Beatbox99 they will do :)

Like the woeful Supra-bmw? Can’t wait to see how a car concept from the 1990’s actually sells three decades after its sell-by date - beyond the handful of old fogey enthusiasts looking through their rose-tinted rear view rally mirror glasses. Seriously dropping 30k on a tiny three cylinder super mini car how many of these will they actually sell? 200-500? All I can imagine is that working for Toyota must be spirit crushingly boring if this is in your top three of all time... All those cheap pressed steel suspension components look rusty underneath already btw... Haven’t seen such ridiculous hype for decades

@@Rosso456MGT how many will they sell? Well they are sold out in Australia, and a 24 month wait to get one. If the bloke loves it, why do you crap on his verdict? Why don’t you enlighten us with your pick?

​@@Rosso456MGTthis aged horribly. They sold over 5000 in the UK alone

Still you could buy some absolute shitbox made in Germany that's always broken if anyone doesn't like it....😂

Whats wrong with the GR Yaris getting positive views? Doesn't automatically make it 'overrated'

@@smilepermile8165 didn’t say it was over rated, just over reviewed. Didn’t slate the car at all.

Test driven this car and feel its overrated but that's my opinion. I'd have more fun in a fiesta ST but I'm a fwd hot hatch guy. Cool that people still make this type of car though for people who love them 👍

@@patrickbateman7122 Test drive it again.

@@Freddanrocco he doesn't have to its not very good for average day life on typical british roads we all have our opinions ive argued the exact same thing and had a load of fan boys thats never drove it say your wrong, so i say u drive it and find out ? If you have and still want it best u start doing some rally stage times because thats the only place it shines on a typical dry track summer time this is slower than a 6 year old type R

This is the way forward for enthusiast vehicles as emissions targets get ever tighter. Hopefully they sell well enough to keep development and production going.

@@Beer_Dad1975 We can hope, yes.

Does not mean much in America, but I'll take it.

Probably left handed. I do the same

Probably for "weight distribution"

Yes,but a Panerai on the left wrist and a smart watch on the right wrist.Tradition and technology working together...............................

I guess he’s got a lot of time on his hands

@@eddeedman9309 Booooo 🤣🤣🤣

He just posted on IG he bought a Red one.

Not the a Litchfield one? I'm a little surprised, but he can get it tuned later with Nitron suspension first.

@@TheEwanMC i think it's a family hot hatch - so maybe just stay as it is - but he said they do it near him - so yeah could get it upgraded later...

Possibly the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio will be in that group me thinks as well

nah

10 cylinders not odd number tho

10 cylinder ain't an odd number. And there is no car in existence that have 5 cylinders.

@@zeeem4810 Volvo/ ford, land rover, vw, audi etc

@@zeeem4810 *so stupid he insults his own intelligence* *Dosser*

*i bet you never played top trump did ya thicko*

Daddy Dougie tho

Jay has way better cars, if only Jay would actually get on one rather than just go cruising. Harry has way better driving environment.

@@masturdate doug has absolutely no technical knowledge on cars. I doubt he could change oil on any of his. He is a reviewer that makes many mistakes and nothing more

Harry is the best by far

JayEmm on Cars is also good!!

When having enough room for a garage, a new car is imported from Japan. It's kept at a garage. If you play, it's carried to a race track. You wait for a rise in price.

I still think this car deserved an exe-tc rather than lowering nitrons

It takes the CEO of the company to be a massive car nut to make it happen. There's no way this car would exist otherwise. Don't expect others to follow either, it'll be a bit of a one-off I'm sure..

That's Toyota and Lexus for you in a nutshell. Remember the LFA? This is much of the same.

Ha! More than makes up for it with the low size, low weight, torque, reliability and mpg.

@@andrewnorris5415 I'm not saying I wouldn't have one in a flash. Just you wouldn't wow anyone by lifting the bonnet. You could distract them by demonstrating its weight though.

It's like an ugly bird with big tits. Who cares what it looks like, what's underneath is all that matters. Like all the best 1990's cars.

Hello... hope you received your car and enjoying it...

Excellent, I knew you'd get the point I was trying to make.👍

😂

It's a universal analogy.

Here you go! GR Yaris..

Same here (different cars) anything modern is too heavy and too powerful to be enjoyed on the road. I miss E39 M5s and co. Today what's left ? This, the alpine , the 718 maybe. Even the M2 is almost too much... otherwise it's lotus, but drive daily meh.

It's the new Top Gear 👍

And then your only post is about that. Kinda pitiful.

@@johnsmith1474 also Savagegeese

Because it's always quality.

What blows my mind is that people say 'It's a Toyota!?', like that's bad. It's not German - no badge tax and it'll be far more reliable, cheaper to own overall.

@@thewaywardgrape3838 Having owned a few BMWs and now with a GR Yaris on order, I'm looking forward to not having to deal with the pretentious german car dealership bullshit. Furthermore this thing comes with adaptive cruise, lane assist, adaptive headlights and keyless entry as standard... that would be 5k of options in a BMW! Oh and it's properly fun to drive. Looking forward to it...

>no badge tax That won't be the case anymore in a few years.

What do you think of the suspension ? Would you be upgrading

One of the most fun cars ever made

You mean 205 GTi, or really the 206 GTi?

205GTI, I made a typo

@@seventydoo6033 I missed the 205 so I only knew the 206 GTi. Loved that car so much!

206 gti was rubbish compared to the 205 1.9 gti. Then again mine was 170bhp compared to stock 130bhp and lowered, great fun.

Part of the minimum 25k cars are the 'RS' trims with FWD 1.5l CVT

Agree. What I can't understand is the previous generation Yaris has a great screen embedded in the dash. New models all have the stuck on system and its terrible on any vehicle.

He got his wallet open this week !!!

@marcus price what would be a better manufacturer in your opinion?

Honestly for me car navigation is crap compared to Waze or Google maps. I've never used it in any of my cars. Android auto is the most useful.

@@cosminmihu9963 Exactly, who uses in car navigations anyway? ALL of them are beyond pathetic. That is the only consolation for all in car infotainments because all of them are totally rubbish but as long as you can Android auto/carplay them, all is fine. (of course, have to note that Tesla is the only exception here)

@@kristisrb Tesla mostly uses Google maps software anyway.

You can get a navigation. But you don’t want it. Toyota’s navigation sucks

Who tf wants naviagtion, everyone uses apple carplay or android auto

There is plenty of proof from the 90s. They have finally gone back to being cool is all. Dont forget they also have Lexus

Yes an absolute shame there with the new Supra. Toyota are the number 1 manufacturer in the world, a company built on unquestionable qaulity. I think the vast majority of us would have preferred a beast of an in house developed Supra.
