I watched this review about 6 times- and then I went and bought one. I’ve made lots of awful decisions in my life, this was not one, the car is simply astonishing
Sadly it's not that much of a treat if you just get these to drive because of work. No matter what car it is. I am pretty sure, he has other feelings for his miata for example. These work cars are pretty much exchangeable, even if they are nice ones...
@iNSTAGiB Nahhh you can do syntetic gasoline in your garage easy in the future. Electric cars are not enviroment friendly too .... carrying 500-700 kg heavy battery with electrolite and made out of expensive metals.
Nope, no new generation is gonna be able to afford this. Because of the rarity of manual sports cars from japan they will never get as cheap as older cars used to be. Even old manual cars are becoming hard to afford for the new generation now as they’re all rising in price hence everyone is buying auto golf gtis now
@@sivvinod3187 it's quite funny yeah,because ae86 is based from corolla and it's different than any corolla model same as this gr yaris just the look is ordinary yaris but it's totally different than any yaris .So from common model from toyota like corolla or yaris there is 1 or 2 model that make something special and iconic to become collector item.
Change out the suspension, add a roll cage, replace the backseats with a primo sound system change the paint and put on some semi slick tires and yoh are set
I think it'd be fun to see just how far some people can take these with tuning! Something's telling me people are more interesting in fiddling with this Yaris than with the new Supra (which is ironically specifically made to be modified) and I think that says a lot about how important passion is when making a sports car... Toyota probably didn't need to make this car in the first place, they could easily have kept making the WRC model based on the old Yaris (maybe with a body kit to look a bit more like the new one) and I bet very few people would have noticed. I think this and the GT86 show that "modern standards" is not what makes modern European cars so boring, greed and lack of passion is the reason for it. Toyota may sell this at a loss but the respect they gained from fans all around the world will benefit them in the long run!
@@XAV-117 No reason why they couldn't, but it probably wouldn't be reliable/driveable - BMW was getting 1100 bhp out of 1.5 litre F1 engines back in the '80s.
He is speaking facts though kind of. It is called Yaris, it shares a few parts and some shapes from the regular Yaris but it's no Toyota Yaris it's got a Gazoo Racing built drive train and body. It being a nice small hatchback and being called a Yaris just adds to the coolnes.
@@Soulrollsdeep Exactly, boost is of course the replacement for displacement, and it saves you so much weight, making the car lighter, and faster again... The displacement crew were dealt a heavy blow when the ultimate Ford, the GT leaned into a smaller V6 with boost, as opposed to a V8, for less weight and smaller packaging. It is the better way.
I can imagine how fun this car is. I am a Toyota guy. I have an LS400 , a ES330, a Tacoma, A Scion XA and a Yaris. I live in the mountains and there are a lot of hllly, curly, S turn roads. No matter the weather my butt is 90% in the Yaris. Its 1.5 4 cyl is great meshed with the auto tranny. My XA has the same engine but is a manual. The storage is unbelievable. 3 glove boxes and cup holders at each side in the dashbpard. It will cruise interstate and 85 MPH is where it likes to be. On backroads, I just love how it handles. It holds the road really well with good tires and has no problem at really high RPMs. My rant s over. My point is, I WANT A GR,,,,lol
Well now toyota still develop gr super sport.Toyota first hypercar and maybe japanese first hypercar that can be buying in public.Why I said japanese first hypercar?because in past like nissan r390 road car and toyota gt one road car was just one examples which is still put in museum and not for sale to public so it's not first hypercar that sold for public.So the only hope is gr super sport that they will make 20 examples or maybe little bit more from the plan and it's sold to public.Imagine that
Agreed this is proof they can still engineer and build a 100% Toyota car that performs. The GT86/FRS and Supra don’t really count for me as I love Toyota engineering/built cars.
@@THE8END0fDARKNESS999 as in do a comparison on car wow as Matt was sort of suggesting. I've seen every GR video already but now the projects have started, a one stop shop would be good.
Running costs would be great Mat, I'm thinking about getting one of these to replace a mk7 Golf R. Understanding fuel consumption, tyre wear and expected servicing costs would help me out a bunch
Servicing is a bit of a pain, with 6000 mile intervals. If used for 12k miles a year, it will need two services, at £265/£585. It’s a lot more to service for me, than a new Cayman GTS. Insurance is also more for me than my Cayman! Tyres are the same as any 18” 235 PS4S. MPG late 20’s
@@mrjamesmay3548 Just shop around, as you can do HP, or PCP via loads of companies like Oracle. (I’ve not used them, but I know several than have, as they were cheaper than Porsche) I’d like a go in a new Type R, but I worry about the set in stone drive modes. I’ll be stuck in comfort mode if the ride is too firm for the country roads around here. I think a one year old i30n for under £19k is looking like an excellent stop gap for me though. Dealer demo cars are a bargain and have four years of warranty left 🤓
@@dukee-_-2952 Considering the tech like it's AWD system limited slip diffs and all that good stuff I'd say it's well worth the price that alongside the fact it's development was lead by Tommi Mäkinen.
I'd be genuinely interested to see a real life comparison of the two main suspension / transmission versions of the car on real roads to see how well the setup on the version in this video copes with our crumbling & rutted British asphalt and vice versa.
My parents bought one, took circuit pack out and it was just too rough even on a semi-decent road, they went for the other pack instead. still love it.
Suggestion: Take some car experts blindfolded with you for a ride and do some drifts or other sporty maneuvers and let them guess in which car they're sitting in :)
@@relentlesspursuit6894 How many for the Swedish market? By the time I move out of the US to go to Sweden they will alll be sold out, but I may pick one up in 5-10 years used.
I think that it would only sell to a few dedicated fans here, because the price would be $45K-$50K for a 3 cyl compact car, and Toyota would still be taking a loss on every one sold. I heard that Toyota is looking at putting the go-fast bits to offer a GR Corolla for the U.S. market this year, which makes more sense here to compete against the Veloster N, VW's GTI and Honda's Civic Type R.
As a former amateur rally driver and now Honda S2000 owner I am interested in the Toyota GRR! You have made a great review and I look forward to the road test.
IDEA FOR YARIS ViDEO: Have some guest pro driver who drives and goes through the settings (normal, track, sport), and can he tell the ratio difference, does it feel like a proper rally car with a great ratio system?
i have a '17 yaris hatchback, same body style ish (mine looks like a mini soccer mom van bc its 4 door) same seats just more basic, and definitely way less horsepower, but shes still pretty nifty
Maxx Performance in Melbourne, Australia have been doing some impressive and extensive performance development work on this car. Well worth looking into.
Does Watson have so much space in his house to park so many cars, if i had so many car, people in my country would ask whether you own a travel agency?
In terms of reliability, GR-FOUR AWD system is designed to withstand up to 900Nm of torque, meaning you need engine torque equivalent to AMG V12 to break it.
Great video..just took delivery of my pearl white gr circuit pack a few days ago , I love it for sure. The only thing I thought about the carbon wrap over the top of the forged carbon roof is that it probably provides UV protection for the roof better than lacquer which can degrade. As Toyota assume it will be an everyday car and offer a 5 year warranty compared to a Lamborghini or Ferrari which is probably garaged 90% of the time.. also imho I sort of think the forged carbon itself kinda looks a bit like a fake granite kitchen worktop from 15 years ago..? Maybe it’s just me... each to their own, TBH I wouldn’t have worried if the roof had been body-coloured either , like the aluminium body panels are.. knowing is better than showing..
Loving that little thing, a true new pocket rocket :) Besides all the track racing and drag racing that you'll do anyway - give it to a normal person for a week that will use it for bringing kids to school / kindergarden, shopping, city driving. I am actually interested how it works there.
- Take it on a rally stage. - Compare it to old rally homologations, like 22B, Evo, Integrale, Audi Quattro... - compare it to a modded one - race it against a regular Yaris 😂
Matt, that pedal spacing bit you don’t like, well it’s on purpose. I’m sure you know, but for other readers, rally drivers do a lot…a lot…of “left foot braking.” The spacing to the left actually makes it easier for that technique, it’s not a track thing so much, but a slippery snow and gravel road thing. Throttle mashed or consistent, then modulate the brakes with your left foot while turning. More brakes turn in, less brakes lets the car drift. It’s magic rally driving stuff, mate ;). (Readers who not believe me? Go to a rally school, it will literally be one of the first things taught.)
The thing is, if I'm not mistaken, it's not only the case in Britain, but on mainland Europe as well, at least in Belgium. That's how it appears to me at least. Don't really mind tho, the extra luxury isn't why I'd buy it and I wouldn't pay the extra money for it.
And I'm sitting in Vermont jealous that you can get 4 door Yaris hatches in manual in Canada. There must have been something like 20 brought to the states - been searching forever and can't find one. Really hoping a Corolla GR comes to NA!
This car is an absolute Banger in Switzerland. Every model available was sold before even before the car hit the showroom. It's a true, dignified continuation of the legacy of the "little japanese bombs", that we liked so much in the past. Cool it still exists.
I am lucky enough to own one and it is just phenomenal, it fits like a tailored suit, the best steering feedback on the planet, it’s a total joy. If you’re considering this as a possibility, just go for it, you will not regret it.
I'd love to see some tuning stuff (possibly comparing tuned cars to yours or yours if you tune it to stock). I'm getting one in April and am more excited than I can put into words
Exhaust is easy fix. Just get some aftermarket Titanium exhaust and I believe there's actually a optional GR Sport exhaust you can get that sounds louder.
I really like that jacket! Where'd you get it? As for the car, I'd be curious to see how it does in day-to-day usage. If a GR Yaris is to be your "daily", then its important that it can handle daily activities. Is it comfortable to commute in, does it have adequate trunk space for groceries or longer items, can it take the occasional passenger or two, etc.
When things settle down, a nice long adventure driving through the best driving routes through Scotland would be excellent. Areas like routes through the Cairngorms and the route 500 would be an excellent test of this car.
9:52 it reminds me of my wife's 2005 Corolla hatch, that area around the seal collects all types of green waste if the car is parked outside. When you wash it, the filth runs down the taillights. The window seals and the pedals look almost straight out of 2001-2007 Impreza, which they likely are modelled on, given that Toyota own a large chunk of Subaru.
Mat, would be really interesting to see how the new GR Yaris compares to the only other similar hot hatch with that set up in the S1, I have a standard S1 and I am a massive fan of the GR and would love to see the differences between them both! Super Mini Hot hatch drag race?

Schmatt?
Maxx Performance in Melbourne, Australia have been doing some impressive and extensive performance development work on this car. Well worth looking into.
Mat, here’s an idea for a video: enter a rally in it and see how you go!
He is a very bad driver.. 😬
I'd like to see it drag race some old rally legends, like an evo. I'm also curious how it fairs against a golf r!
Or just spend half the money you'd pay for this and buy an Evo III.
Does Watson have so much space in his house to park so many cars, if i had so many car, people in my country would ask whether you own a travel agency?
In the UK there are public parking garages, he may rent few spaces there
In terms of reliability, GR-FOUR AWD system is designed to withstand up to 900Nm of torque, meaning you need engine torque equivalent to AMG V12 to break it.
Dad's just bought this with the circuit pack, can't wait ;)
Dad of the year
That Toyota will go 100 years without dying
Giggling like a school girl...genuine love right there
😄👍🙋♀️
Exhaust , tune , seats , coilovers , wheels = perfect
Great video..just took delivery of my pearl white gr circuit pack a few days ago , I love it for sure. The only thing I thought about the carbon wrap over the top of the forged carbon roof is that it probably provides UV protection for the roof better than lacquer which can degrade. As Toyota assume it will be an everyday car and offer a 5 year warranty compared to a Lamborghini or Ferrari which is probably garaged 90% of the time.. also imho I sort of think the forged carbon itself kinda looks a bit like a fake granite kitchen worktop from 15 years ago..? Maybe it’s just me... each to their own, TBH I wouldn’t have worried if the roof had been body-coloured either , like the aluminium body panels are.. knowing is better than showing..
How are things going, still have it? Any regrets or cons? Thinking about getting one
Loving that little thing, a true new pocket rocket :)
Besides all the track racing and drag racing that you'll do anyway - give it to a normal person for a week that will use it for bringing kids to school / kindergarden, shopping, city driving. I am actually interested how it works there.
- Take it on a rally stage.
- Compare it to old rally homologations, like 22B, Evo, Integrale, Audi Quattro...
- compare it to a modded one
- race it against a regular Yaris 😂
Matt, that pedal spacing bit you don’t like, well it’s on purpose. I’m sure you know, but for other readers, rally drivers do a lot…a lot…of “left foot braking.” The spacing to the left actually makes it easier for that technique, it’s not a track thing so much, but a slippery snow and gravel road thing. Throttle mashed or consistent, then modulate the brakes with your left foot while turning. More brakes turn in, less brakes lets the car drift. It’s magic rally driving stuff, mate ;). (Readers who not believe me? Go to a rally school, it will literally be one of the first things taught.)
Mind you, that rear end looks badass...
Agree
Pun intended?
@@hamzajunaid11022 not really, I mean it
@@lgz2006 oh okay ... It's just that its also a perfect pun too
@@hamzajunaid11022 oh okay then
We need a real driving review and More details about the suspension, torque, and 4wheel drive system
“Can’t do it because of RHD and wiring looms” never mind Japan drive RHD 🙈
@@iwantsexseemyvideo5157 I know right!
i know, madness. I would love to have the good stereo system too :(
It’s complete BS, Toyota technician said that the wiring loom is no different. Toyota just chose not to give us Brits the extra kit.
The thing is, if I'm not mistaken, it's not only the case in Britain, but on mainland Europe as well, at least in Belgium. That's how it appears to me at least. Don't really mind tho, the extra luxury isn't why I'd buy it and I wouldn't pay the extra money for it.
As a Canadian I’m intensely jealous of your ability to even get one
Same. Even getting a regular Yaris is a chore here now (have to order it and they pull it from Quebec allotment).
And I'm sitting in Vermont jealous that you can get 4 door Yaris hatches in manual in Canada. There must have been something like 20 brought to the states - been searching forever and can't find one.
Really hoping a Corolla GR comes to NA!
@@bmeryman hmmm it’s all about perspective in the end I guess! Yaris manuals are cheap in my neck of the woods
Matthew is such a low-key, but not low-key flexer! 😂
You have got to make some races at the track with Yaris and its rivals.
_"Let me know in the comments, I WILL read through them."_
Yeah, right! 🤣
Do a ken block type gymkhana video..
Didn't you review this the other month? Either way, I would love one of these!
This is really really nice, one of a kind in its section.
Pretty sure hks have one pushing 475hp on stock internals which is crazy prob will blow soon but still impressive
This car is an absolute Banger in Switzerland.
Every model available was sold before even before the car hit the showroom.
It's a true, dignified continuation of the legacy of the "little japanese bombs", that we liked so much in the past.
Cool it still exists.
"It's not really a yaris....... It's amazing you can do this in a yaris" 🤣😊
Hey Matt, great video as susual. Some stories on peeps who have customised their GR Yaris would be awesome!
I finally found my dream car: Very small but fun one.
Same with the MK1 Focus RS - not sent down the line like the cooking models. That’s what makes cars like this so special!
10:37 Wow ! We missed that 🥺
Boomerang. Almost.
What i love and hate about the toyota yaris GR
love - its a gorgeous car and a modern icon
hate - i dont have it
What is this 3 cylinder turbo crap? I'm glad they don't sell it in America, here a V6 is small!
Hopefully this will spark a new flood of homologated WRC cars ❤️
I am lucky enough to own one and it is just phenomenal, it fits like a tailored suit, the best steering feedback on the planet, it’s a total joy. If you’re considering this as a possibility, just go for it, you will not regret it.
The engine sound in the car just reminded me of classic gran tourismo lol
I'd love to see some tuning stuff (possibly comparing tuned cars to yours or yours if you tune it to stock). I'm getting one in April and am more excited than I can put into words
Oi! @carwow where are those GRY vids that Matt promised here?
Only real ones know the daily in the title was spelt wrong
it was daly lmao
it was spelt as daly lol
Jdnd
It's still daly in my notifications

Exhaust is easy fix. Just get some aftermarket Titanium exhaust and I believe there's actually a optional GR Sport exhaust you can get that sounds louder.
Darn, I really do want one of these!!!
I really like that jacket! Where'd you get it?
As for the car, I'd be curious to see how it does in day-to-day usage. If a GR Yaris is to be your "daily", then its important that it can handle daily activities. Is it comfortable to commute in, does it have adequate trunk space for groceries or longer items, can it take the occasional passenger or two, etc.
Would love to hear one of these with a proper exhaust
Watching this for the second time , not sure why its not liked n subscribed yet
I my self own a few cars as well, 150 do be exact. Keep them in my display cabinet.
this GR yaris is literally my dream car, ive never had a goal but this is it lol
When things settle down, a nice long adventure driving through the best driving routes through Scotland would be excellent. Areas like routes through the Cairngorms and the route 500 would be an excellent test of this car.
Jdjd
Carwow can’t pay very much looking at your personal collection. You need a raise!
The only car I would consider giving up my 86 for.
Supra no manual
Yaris :)
Mat let yianni drive the car and see what his reaction is going to be.😅
9:52 it reminds me of my wife's 2005 Corolla hatch, that area around the seal collects all types of green waste if the car is parked outside. When you wash it, the filth runs down the taillights. The window seals and the pedals look almost straight out of 2001-2007 Impreza, which they likely are modelled on, given that Toyota own a large chunk of Subaru.
Mat, would be really interesting to see how the new GR Yaris compares to the only other similar hot hatch with that set up in the S1, I have a standard S1 and I am a massive fan of the GR and would love to see the differences between them both! Super Mini Hot hatch drag race?
