@@robertsantiago3102 I went to a Toyota dealer and wanted a AWD manual Toyota. This is all they had so that's what I bought. I didn't even know Toyota had a performance division till I owned this car. So honestly it was far more educational than expected.

@@christophermccord3757 Now I can’t say for certain but Id hope that manufacturers now would use shunting relays, which should prevent that surging. But the screen dim was present before the fog lights being up fitted and occurred even without the headlamps on, and when I say screen dim, I dont mean the back light to the LCD, I mean *THE* display, as in the panel itself had an issue with voltage. I see HMI’s and HIM’s all the time at work with backlight issues, but this display issue was very much the display, not the back light.

Dumb thing to check is if your in eco mode because it makes most cars save on electricity like fan power ac coldness and other things besides the whole engine power curve other wise I'd say check fuse maybe a tech put wrong fuse in wrong spot or fuse is hanging on for dear life but about to die and still looks good at a minimum I'd buy a new fuse if it's the correct one just to be safe and see if aftermarket GPS is wired in by dealer or Toyota if the ones under dash get loose they can create power issues there's a vid on TH-cam how to find it

@@christophermccord3757 well not my circus not my monkeys, I don't own the GR anymore and I was not about to go exploring whilst it was under warranty. I do work with PLCs and electrical equipment as my primary job so it's not like I can't touch it, more like shouldn't. We can speculate all day if it's a supply or grounding or impedance issue, but we'll never know since it's somebody else's problem now. But I can say it did it a majority of the time irrelevant of Eco, Sport or Normal driving selection.

@@wendellmarasigan4028 all I wanted was an AWD manual Toyota, and that is apparently too much to ask for in the US market, so traded it for a Prado, it's AWD manual Toyota, and it's a Turbo Diesel. Never knew I needed a diesel till I owned one.

@@jasonjacobs8343 As Ive gotten older Ive just become less interested in getting there sooner, and have found it to be more relaxing to follow the speed limit.

@@jasonjacobs8343 thinking back on it as well, a coworker who previously built high performance race bikes, pointed out since I never reved the engine high enough to spool the turbo the combustion chamber was probably going to have excess carbon build up, and that was one of the serious points as to why I decided to sell the car.

Ok so thanks for the long comment, tackling your points, TPMS: I do have a full size spare, present tense as I still currently have it, and at the dealer I did have it programmed, the tire pressure display, for some reason with all tires present, would have shown up at 14:49 and it had 5 positions, and it did show all 5 tires. As for the phone: I just never really cared enough to unsync it, with the screen off the message pops up I acknowledge it once and then it stayed off, typically. As for not knowing it was a hot hatch I very specifically just went to Toyotas website and sorted by AWD, and manual to find a car, and this was the only option. I went to a dealer ordered one and just didn’t think about it, waited 8 months it came in, bought it and then drove it off the lot. It wasn’t until a friend of a friend, while I was installing his dashcam and we had to run to get fuse taps, made me aware these are a limited production car, and a street legal track car at that, and thats when I looked more into this whole “hot hatch” thing. Didn’t know it was a thing to be honest. As for the automatic, well Ill take your word for it as my only experience with a newer auto was a Ford Interceptor Utility and the 6F55 in that thing *royally pissed me off*. WHY DO I HAVE TO RESET THE DATA SHIFT POINTS TO GET BETTER FUEL ECONOMY?! THE WHOLE POINT OF ADAPTIVE SHIFT LEARNING IS TO GET BETTER FUEL ECONOMY BASED ON DRIVING HABITS!!! Tangent aside Im not very impressed with modern automatic transmissions and vowed I would not repeat that mistake, hence why manual. I suppose the long and short of it is that on paper its a AWD Manual Toyota, everything I wanted for my next car, but in its details is where I was let down. I have since bought another AWD Manual Toyota, but learning from this I bought a Turbo Diesel Landcruiser, its still AWD, Manual, and a Toyota, but the specifics of it fit my life better.

I was honestly appalled the first drive in the dark with it, not only that but the auto high beam drove me nuts, it would turn off the high beams when approaching signs, or some edge road markers so I just kept it off. After putting in the JDM fog assemblies it was much more tolerable driving at night but far from the best.

​@@USSRDragon I was as well, i have the 2023 XSE so i have the same headlights but no fog lights unfortunately. Been looking for aftermarket headlights since i got the car so i can drive safer. And idk if you have noticed it but the windshield wipers are also very slow.

@@JustADeveloper-l7x don't know the year of your vehicle but if you're wipers are slow you may need a new motor, either on the delayed or normal or fast setting they behaved as I would expect them to. On the fast setting they certainly had no issues flinging the water directly off the car. Edit: lol I completely missed the first sentence of your reply! I would take an amp read on the motor and check to make sure nothing's binding. Also check to make sure you have 14 volts at above idle on your electrical system.

Last model that had good lights was 2020 when they had the triple j

@@arctictruck10 but why? You get worse fuel economy.

Might as well get a GTI or Golf R. No point of owning a sporty car with barely any engagement.

@@USSRDragon because it's faster in a straight line and around the track than a slow manual.

@@Ryan-ez4op go watch a video of the new GR yaris from carwow and see for yourself and come back and apologize for your flaccid comment.

@@arctictruck10 might as well get a Golf R with a proven power train and tuning capabilities then

@@muffinxcancer naw, I just hate what I look like.

@@gadgetguy99 at the time I bought it it was my 7th vehicle, I sold off a couple while owning it mostly due to just not driving them.

@@bigcoolredhead1 and money. Only drove it 3900km but depreciation still sucks.

@@kevinlam6997 it's not all the time just intermittently, clutch pressed brake pressed hold start and it just wouldn't start. Release pedals repeat then it would start. Honestly I hated the button enough as it was but that just irked me.

@@alexandram9477 none, I even moved the seat as high as it would go. Course then I was hitting the headliner with my hat, but still no hood.

sure, pretty old tho. I probably have a few other videos on my channel you can use if you want as well.

Yup, next fillup it read on the full line. Additionally before committing to a meter, you can try contact cleaner on the terminals and check that the wires are not broken/incorrectly terminated (Ran into that on my UAZ). Its rare but I could see from its location corrosion on the terminals causing the same issue.

Believe me I did too.

Also thanks for taking a look, I just bought some Lav mics and am trying to schedule with Lanikin to do some 5 min videos of all my cars.

@@USSRDragon I'm just gonna pretend my car knowledge ranges far enough to understand what those are.

I like the fact the exhaust smelled like marshmallows. Far more pleasant than using used fry oil in diesels.

Yup dont mind.

@@USSRDragon Thank you

@@USSRDragon th-cam.com/video/fyPHJthOj8k/w-d-xo.html here it is mate.

Yeah that's fine

Yeah sure

Tis fine

Yeah sure

Yup, dont mind.

@@USSRDragon thanks

Yup dont mind at all.

You may use any video on my channel, I genuinely don't mind.

Yeah I dont mind. Sorry for the late reply, never got notified of your comment.

Sure, I never mind if people want to use my videos of driving/driving fails.

@@USSRDragon thank you

Well he was in the right lane since McCaslin Blvd, which was 4 miles behind us at this point. Also he took 4 miles to close a 8 car length gap between us, and he paced me for about 6 minutes, as it says equal with my b pillar, you only see the last 1 min of that sped up. Also note I am speeding. An upon hitting the speed drop he proceeded to continue at 50/53 without slowing down, which in CO 24mph over is a Class B traffic offence with 3pts on the license. So Ill keep my 7 mph over thank you.

Yeah go ahead, and its Hooksett, NH

@@USSRDragon Thank you!

Hi, check out "US ROAD MADNESS | NORTH AMERICAN DRIVING FAILS 2018 EP# 16" with your clip featured. Thanks! Link: youtu(DOT)be/Gg3y2LUFrJk

Sure, Dropbox link seems to still work.

You're a thief and less of a human than anyone else on EARTH!

Thank you.
