  • So happy that we were the early bird that got this lovely GR Yaris, so glad that the car makers are opening up their garages for test drives, and equally happy that the country is opening up again.
    We take the GR Yaris up our favorite road to check out its handling. Can a mere 1.6 litre 3-cylinder albeit turbocharged engine hack it? And it's a manual too. Would YS Khong be over-awed by the mechanicals?
    It takes some getting used to, I suppose, but there is always a first time for everything.
    Well, the TNGA platform certainly does wonders, great visibility, excellent handling, and the AWD system is something else. It is not often that we get a chance to buy a car with a manual transmission.
    Hope you enjoy the video, and if you do, don't forget to give us a like, and subscribe if you haven't already done so.

    You know things are getting serious when Uncle YS stopped talking. That aggressive 3-pedal footwork is definitely a callback to old school rallying era. This GR Yaris begs to be driven like that. Thank you Uncle for letting that baby show its full potential

      I think uncle is holding back some of its true potential since theres traffic on the road. Maybe hit the track sometime to fully see what this car is capable of

    I can watch uncle's footwork all day.... btw uncle, after you tested both GR Yaris and Civic Type R (FK8) on genting run what's your insight on both cars?

    • @YSKhongDriving
      @YSKhongDriving  2 ปีที่แล้ว +69

      The GR Yaris is AWD, and the system is really very different from what you see in other cars. This is a race-bred car and is really quick.
      The FK8R is another car that is also made for track use, but it is only FWD, but it has more power in a straight line.
      Overall, the Yaris is smaller and lighter, and more agile, while the FK8R is faster.
      Finally it is the skill of the driver that determines if the full power can be unleashed. I have not yet learnt the full potential of the car yet, having only had 2 days with it.
      On the race track the FK 8 is probably faster, but on a rally track or a tight or wet circuit, the Yaris is potent.
      On Genting, the Yaris is faster, if both cars are stock. In the wet, the Yaris is probably unbeatable right now.
