Glad you liked the video! GR Corolla base model actually costs the same as this. Not as many tech features but the GR is much faster. So a good toss up for sure on what car is better for which buyer
Also too many dealerships are selling the Corolla GR way over MSRP one dealership has it 10k above. I don't understand why these dealerships aren't getting reviewed bomb i wish people would start.
The price is really good, a base model can be negotiated sub 30, especially with a VIP letter. For older buyers or folks with sensitive ears, the exhaust has some loud pitches and drony low tones. Getting a quieter performance car like BMW is way pricer. GR Corolla likely is more reliable, quieter sound, more impressive engineering, but less space in the back seat, harder to find, make calls, order and get a salesperson to not up charge you. Kia Stinger GT is auto, no good, Hyundai is not for everybody, Acura Type S is great but overpriced. The WRX handles extremely well and feels solid for a lower price point car. VW Golf GTI or R is good, may want to check into the reliability, GTI had some issues. Small backseat. R used can really get the price down, solid car. It’s too bad they don’t make a Honda people’s sport sedan with more pep, a Civic with 250-300 hp that’s 35K or under, reliable, and built on a higher production with no MSRP markup. The Si is way underpowered. The Type R markup is dumb, it should be a cheaper price for younger folks, it is more on that track car end for tech, however, good stowage room for daily runs to stores.
In my city, what they do is list the price when it’s incoming, it’s very high, then it drops several thousand its first day on the lot, and the VIP program can add a touch of leverage, since it’s no greater than invoice. Prices may have risen a bit turning over the year, but Subaru is generally ethical and should be willing to work with you. Hopefully Subaru isn’t raising prices a lot with mega inflation (almost disguised hyperinflation). Some car data programs also showed last year some negotiation ability vs. other brands.
The sti were discontinued because Toyota has joined %20 and using Subaru technology for Toyotas sports car's like the corolla gr. But you can tune the wrx to 300 hp, just make sure you get the right tune. Haven't done it yet, but will do. Still doing research for the right tune
GRC already has some track overheating issues with its AWD system. That 3-cyl engine might not be as reliable as ppl think, just because its Toyota. I get the feeling they might be cutting corners... we've already seen problems with the new Tundra V6 engine.
Well rally cross is completely different that driving to work on the street lol, taking a car outside street use isn’t a fault of the manufacturer. Rally cross vehicles will get heavily modified for that type of driving. This isn’t even a 3 cylinder either, so why bring that up? The tundra only had a software issue that needed updating.
The VW gti/Golf R have horrible cheap feelings manual shifters, and the core trim GR Corrola is priced at 50k used. Those cars aren't really comparable to the vb wrx.
The GR Corolla starts at $35k. Even the Circuit edition is less than $50k. The basic GR Corolla is a direct competitor in price to this. Much harder to find and acquire. But same price www.toyota.com/grcorolla/ Used market is a different story since the GR is going for a ton. But people are buying them for MSRP they are just appreciating in value tremendously right now. But new for new MSRP these can be the same price.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I didn't say the msrp was 50k, I said DEALERSHIPS are charging 50k for used and even new core trim GR Corrolas. Toyota dealers and their "market adjustments + dealer add-ons" are the reality, so good luck getting a used core trim for 46k. The circuit edition is going for 65-70k. That is what make them not comparable to the wrx which can bought for under msrp.
Good news! The new Subaru WRX (both CVT and 6-speed manual) has landed in Malaysia! 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾 And XOXO, the WRX name for Subaru is pretty much used on a license plate in Malaysia, along with World Rally Championship (WRC).
This wrx is more popular than you think , and all own is next tiers car and modded too of coz this wrx seem very very tamed . Get a modded one and we can talk buddy
I've been in the STI and modded WRX cars. I know what they are capable of. Nice entry point to the performance car world for sure. However sales aren't the best compared to previous years. Nice car overall but they aren't off too the best start.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Yes you been in the wrx / sti , not this VB with mods , this with mods really transformed it way better than ever with the 2.4l. Don’t be lazy get a modded with ecu / air pods / exhaust modded to test you’ll be surprised
They ruined the look with all the plastic. The 2012 is way cooler than this Kmart special looking thing! Big ugly computer screen only adds to the stupidity, more crap to break!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Pretty much everything. I had a WRX STi, the one after the Bug Eye, it had the big Whale Tail and the huge scoop. Now for me, one of the appealing things about the Scooby was not only the speed and incredible handling, it was the looks, some might say the over the top looks, it was a head turner!
Gotta love manual cars
Heck yeah! Fun option for the WRX for sure
@@Eggy_Aiji What do you mean?
wish I could drive but I cant
@@richierich890why can’t you drive bro.
Love the CVT
Still waiting for these to grow on me like the previous gen
Lol are they growing on you? If all the plastic was body color and just had a touch of black. It’d look perfect I think
That's more a deal that the Corolla GR ( engine size for mods & interior room wise ) Good review Brian.

@@TheRage0180 my local dealers have actually been selling them at sticker. So just need to shop around. I see them pop up even used for MSRP pricing.
Now my perfect Subaru sedan I want to buy.
Subaru does a good job with the WRX for sure

Dude in my city its 37k for a 2023 model

Great price for a great rally car 👌❤
Yeah it’s a pretty cool blend!
Paint match the fender plastic and the rear bumper and its looks really good
Yeah that would look really good!
It’s a rally car

Yeah I can see how the GR Corolla took its place a bit. Cool cars for sure. My friend had a STi with the Cobb tune and it was really fun!
Now my perfect car!
Yeah the WRX is a cool option

@@diallo1347 where are you searching to find them at that price? My local dealer sells them for MSRP.

Yeah I wish all the plastic was painted body color. Would look very nice
Love WRX. This ugly tho. If only it was prettier I would buy
Yeah the plastic needs to go
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yeah I get it’s a RALLY car. But not that much plastic should be on a so called sports car imo
@@Bmwkid330i I agree! It looks too much like a Subaru with the plastic lol
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yeah, do not like Subaru one bit except the WRX. 😁
@@BrosFOURRSpeed the magnetite gray metallic hides the cladding so well though. i want that one.
Subaru keep going backward with their designs. This is awfull
What don’t you like?

@LeeShand it's crazy how divisive the subaru designs are. To me the blobeye is the ugliest WRX and this new one is my second favorite. 😂
