gents, just get an exhaust upgrade!! problem solved! 😂
I threw in a HKS exhaust system. Best mod.. made the car a proper car im totally in love wt. No drone and coasting on the road, the HKS is quiet. Put your foot down and it comes alive. Best of two worlds. It made the GRY what it always shud have been straight out of the factory gates.
Hi Guys , just an FYI if you haven’t already found it . On mine , I have a widget fitted that automatically turns off the annoying “Lane Departure Warning” and also automatically turns on the “IMT” rev match . I believe they do other widgets to turn off the Start Stop.
Also I have to say a brake bleed and some Goodridge braided brake hoses made a huge and very welcome improvement to the brakes
Cheers for the tips, Rich
Tell me more about this widget! Lane assist does my head in.
Do you guys drive in expert mode?
Where to get those, please?
What is it and how do i get one
I have 12k mikes on mine and climbing. I love the quiet as attracts no attention especially of the police.
The absolute go-to car channel on TH-cam. Really appreciate the honesty unlike a lot of brown-nosing TH-camrs. Biggups guys!
Cheers, James
Mine has had the full Litchfield makeover. Its a completely different car from factory spec. Its so savage, I love it. Not an easy to drive around a town or as daily. Heavy clutch, manual etc. But on a fast, undulating road I don't think it can be beaten.
I highly recommend the assembly of a complete exhaust from the Polish company MG Motorsport, consisting of a downpipe, a frontpipe with a sports catalyst and a street rear section. It will completely change your GR Yaris so you won't recognize the car. It really unlocks 100% potential. I have such an exhaust system in my car and that's why I recommend it.
I love the GR yaris but I get what Jason is saying. My impreza turbo was like it in that only if you were driving like a loon did you really enjoy it. These days I would prefer a simple MX5 ND because it would be fun at 40.....
The NC is better due to the steering, get one of those with a BBR turbo kit and you have something that is not incredibly fast but makes any B road enjoyable at sane velocities.
21000 in mine… but then I live in Yorkshire and my commute is A/B road mixture… can’t think of anything to change it to, it’s utterly fantastic. Maybe an exhaust would help the sound, but my neighbours appreciate it compared to previous cars
Many thanks - one of the best reviews I have had the pleasure to watch. Informative and amusing 👍🏻👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
I have one and think the brakes are spot on, the pedal feel is top drawer in my opinion.
Good
The brakes are excellent, but the original pads are very soft and require that you change them relatively often.
Really enjoying mine, and fully accept the foibles/compromises when considering all its brilliant points. It’s a joy on UK roads at sane speeds. Had it since April 21 and it’s a keeper.
👍🏻👍🏻
Great video. Drove one at Millbrook and left me cold didn’t seem to need a driver skill just blitzed the handling track
I got a cheap Bluetooth OBD2 dongle and switched the synthesized sound off. Strange at first but after a day or two I prefer the natural sound. It then sets you up for the perfect exhaust and intake for your aural (and power) needs. As with a lot of Japanese machinery, I think you're meant to customise this car. For me what a blast its been and will keep it a long long time. You're absolutely right about the start up procedures LOL. Especially when you're in a hurry and forget to do it!
Interesting tips, thanks
I've switched fake sounds and the ANC off 18 months ago - never looked back. Now it doesn't hurt your ears by emitting annoying noise cancelling sounds.
I owned one for a year and have to say I agree with Jason. It was fantastic when driving really fast but general day to day driving I wasn’t keen and always took my other car.
Thanks again! I really enjoy your reviews. Before selling your Yaris, take it out on a rainy day
Interesting video as I've just paid the PCP off on mine having decided to keep it. I'd still love you guys to do a proper road trip in the two Yari(?). I did a trip to Scotland last Spring that was just epic and at that time of year the car was just perfect for those less than perfect roads and conditions. Like you I've kept mine completely stock but keep thinking about a trip to Litchfield for a couple of the reasons you mentioned. I'm in Wales so it's perfect for the roads (and the weather) here. I'm looking forward to doing some more proper trips to some foreign mountain road in the future. Damian you said you were going to tell us what you were going o do with the car next........
Hi mate. Did you know if you put the car in sport mode that also turns the auto-stop thingy off. The lane departure alarm is pissingly annoying for sure!! Also if you get the dealer to switch that in cabin artificial noise off the car sounds heaps better, as does addition of the HKS Super Turbo exhaust and an Eventuri intake. Re steering feel. Adding camber bolts and anti-lift bushings make this thing turn in like nothing you've ever experienced. As for brakes? Braided lines and racing fluid dramatically improve feel and bite. Good luck
Great video, I have just paid off the finance on my GRY and have no intention of selling anytime soon. Agree with everything Damian says except the brake’s which are exceptional, way better than the brakes on my 997 which after a reasonably hard drive start to fade and the feel allows you to use them right to the point the abs kicks in. People complain about the ride but compared to my previous Renault sport twingo with cup suspension, mk7 fiesta ST and my 997 with sport’s suspension it feels like a limo. There is a terrible road near me that the in the 997 feels like it wants to bounce you into the hedge at 30mph, the GRY after a few runs getting faster and faster I gave up at 70mph as it just took it in it’s stride.
The only thing I can think of I would consider swapping it for at the moment is an alpine A110 but that doesn’t turn into a van like the GRY does when you fold the seats down
Glad you enjoyed it, Ian 👏🏻👏🏻
The brake's what?
Yes - I am not selling mine either! Brilliant car and better when the weather turns S#@T !
Fantastic review as always guys…. Keep up the sterling work.
I mostly agree with this great review. I Iike the GR Yaris, it's a fantastic car, it's very efficient, but the sound of the 3-cylinder engine...
After a long trip on motorways, I don't like it so much. But on B roads I like it again!
I20N startup procedure is very similar, however, press start button then N custom and start stop is automaticall set off, rev matching automatically set on and any other annoying settings can be defeated or adjusted in advance so in fact it's a two button start.
I’ve had mine for pretty much as long as Jason. It was the 2nd or 3rd car in I’m told. It quickly got Recaro CS sportster seats on JCR rails, Eventuri Intake, full titanium exhaust, String theory garage spring kit and corner wieighting, tuning box to take the power up to 300/310 and some wider 265 cup 2 tyres. The car is night and day from a dosile stock example. This is what Jason needs. Such a shame to judge such a one off car based on its “built to please everybody and every regulation” stock setup. Just a few things needed to make it come alive starting with Eventuri and an exhaust!
Interesting video, I’m a owner and I agree with both sides . It’s exactly those things. In the mountains ! Wow ! On the street I’m invisible form all but thoughts who know. Cops seem to not pay attention . It’s all good my end . Every time I’ve contemplated a custom change it last about a week or two and than that idea fades away . They are what they are and I’m keeping mind .
Can’t believe you are complaining about the brakes Damian. 356mm disc 4 pot brakes (with 296mm 2 pot rear) for such a light car are unreal. I’ve had my GRY almost a year now and have always found the braking performance to be one of its strongest points. Definitely agree on the other annoyances though.
The other annoyance I find is that the suspension is just a little too firm and fidgety. It’s okay when really pushing on but as a daily driver it does become pretty draining after a while when the smallest bumps feel like a pothole.
He probably just needs a brake bleed and some great fluids. Brakes are great.
Agreed. Litchfield do a Nitron Suspension upgrade which apparently improves the ride quality.
The brakes are great on the GR Yaris, maybe there is something wrong with his car or him?
My GR brakes are also more than fine. They do not have a huge amount of servo assist, but that is not to be be confused with stopping power.
It's a car for the Scottish Borders.
Just got mine after 1 and a 1/2 years waiting best car ever plus have a mk 1 MX5 1.8 which is also great
👍🏻👍🏻
Saw my first one the other day, what a mean looking car, glorious!
In a Merc GLB at the min and the Emergency Brake Assist is absolutely insane I feel your pain Anything seems to pose a threat to it.
Why in 2.5 years has Jason not put some after market bit on it to sort it. Or you with pads or full brakes?
I agree with all you mention other than the brakes like everyone else has said they are unreal, I will never sell my GR but what helps is owning three different cars an X5 for family duty an E92 M3 For V8 soundtrack with DCT and the GR for manual B road fun. If it was my only car I would have to move it on at some point as it does not tick all boxes for daily use.
Congratulations 100k subscribers I see 👍 Looking forward to the next "Drive Every Ferrari" episode.
Thank you very much, Greg
But the Yaris is a great starting platform for aftermarket builds. Ever think about changing a few parts like exhaust and brakes to make you bound closer to the car. To make you get to the point where’s its enjoyable or do you believe a stock car should already be fun out of the box. For me I’ve been waiting for the Toyota Corolla GR-Four. It’s finally here and planning on getting mine soon.
Great independent review….again!! Cheers as always for sharing although I cannot get the Cindy Crawford image out of my head 😂
Thanks - tell me about it - I think you can tell my feelings by my expression in the passenger seat 😀
There was a recall for the auto braking for some 2021 models. Surprised about the brakes, think they are great.
Best get your brakes looked at then because I’ve yet to be in a stock car in the GRs price range that stops better…I always say I can only drive the Yaris so fast because the brakes let me stop so well.
Definitely bring Jason's up here to Yorkshire. It's the perfect environment for it👍 p.s an aftermarket exhaust would sort the noise issue.👍
Hi Guys, I sold mine after six months as it was just too clinical ( too good at everything ) Older cars have more feel at much lower speeds so I’m buying a Celica gt4.
Legend
I recently did a video with another channel putting my GRY CP against a Mitsubishi Evo Tommi Makinen RS. I drove the Evo and it was so raw and unforgiving, even in the dry it was edgy. I got out after shaking with adrenaline and shaking my head at how raw it was. It was undiluted 90’s gold which is what I miss. We did pulls in acceleration via radio and there was nothing in it. When I got back in my GR it just felt so much more easy to hustle along at pace without feeling you were going to get bit like in the Evo. The GR is diluted but it has to be in these times. Although to have a car like this in the ever growing electric age that’s a homologated rally car for the road is such a blessing and I’m so grateful Toyota made it. I’ve owned 7 Imprezas and the step up in the cabin is really appreciated. As you’ve stated it’s not perfect, no car is but I’ve got to disagree with you about the brakes. They are absolutely phenomenal especially when you fit braided lines. The exhaust is quiet but I’ve read that due to the solid nature of the cars frame etc there were vibrations coming through the cabin during testing. Other aftermarket exhaust manufacturers have had people come back to them complaining of vibrations. Of course you may not mind this but as a daily or when driven to say the Nurburgring it could become very annoying. Other option is a valved exhaust but then the price becomes a bit silly as tbh the systems now are over priced imho. As you can tell I love my GR, I can drive it slow/fast, on track and it always feels special to me , its honest awesome ability just totally wins you over.
Both cars are 200bhp per tonne - for some reason the comparison with the EVO TM was left on the cutting room floor.
Thanks for this GReat update😉
👏🏻👏🏻
great video, impressive GR Yaris update video!
👍🏻👍🏻
Has Jason considered the Litchfield upgrade? Would that do it for him? Perhaps he can get to drive their demonstrator and give us his thoughts? (Litchfield IS outside of Essex though so that could be a problem…😊)
They should definitely do a Litchfield video.
You guys are funny. Pretty much agree with you on many of the comments, but its still an epic epic mini-GTR, incl the dull steering. I've settled on using my Rallye just for the track days, and its epic. As a stock car with just a set of tyres it does1:52.9 around Phillip Island, 1:25.0 around Sandown and 1:37.0 around Winton. Only these damned Caymans beat it in the over 2L class.
It needs bit more power, another 40-50bhp will wake it up.
It's not a car I'm mad about(too small for me), but appreciate the honest owners guide you give
👏🏻👏🏻
ive got a GT3RS and this is the only other car that I end every drive with such a smile...how can soem+one call it "dull"! LOL...just put a MILTEK exhaust on it with CF tips and you'll see a huge diference!
Auto-braking is so dangerous. Much like auto-steer. Or automatically seeing speed limit signs and slamming on the brakes (even if the signs are for lorries). I could go on.
The fake engine noice is easily sorted with Carista or similar app. But why do you need to administer messages with the back-button during your start up procedure? 🤔
Was waiting for this
Congrats on reaching 100k subscribers.
Thanks 👍🏻
Is there a vid explaining the new Yorkshire HQ? I feel like I’ve missed it
No, it has only been mentioned briefly
Gearchange and steering not as good as my previous Subaru wrx sti (13:1 ratio),otherwise very satisfied with mine.
just reached 14000 miles , its a proper solid car , I also agree with all you points , still a top car, I feel like ive out grown the car will also be selling soon, its held its value very well some front bumper chipping but I hope I can get about 32k for mines
Interesting re the auto braking - mine has never done that
Mine is six months old now and has covered just over 300 miles. I really should get out in it more!!
Yes you should
Another good video lads 🚘🚙🚗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍
👏🏻👏🏻
i got bored with mine after 6 months, still lament the decision to sell it sometimes when occasionally i see another one go down the road, but everytime i get in my vw up gti, and drive at normal pace on normal reasonably congested uk suburb roads, i 100% know i made the correct decision to get the up..... much more fun to drive for me
Mine's sitting at 41000~, got it in December 21', at around 4500 miles. 35000~ later and I'm still loving it 😁
Nice - I'm only on a paltry 13,000
This, or stretch to a 30ish mile 1m for a weekend toy and investment? Thanks!
Jason I agree. I've only had mine since January. Drove it loads for a couple of months. Expected to want to be buried in it one day. A car for life. But somehow I just can't fall in love with it. It only feels special at ludicrous speeds and even living in the countryside there are so few opportunities to hit those highs. The rest of the time it just feels ordinary. The ride is joggly and for some reason it makes my right leg ache. By comparison I'm lucky enough to have a Jaguar XKR (x150) and although it cost me loads less to buy, it manages to feel special whatever speed I'm doing. Similarly I have a modified Smart car that's probably only worth £1500 with a full tank of fuel. But it involves me in every mile I drive, has better steering and delivers it's thrills well within the speed limit.
There's no doubting the GR is a bogglingly competent piece of kit. And I feel so lucky to have been able to own one. But it feels significantly less analogue than I'd hoped and only comes alive at bonkers velocities.
Thanks for sharing, Rowan 👍🏻
Exhaust and intake upgrade might help
Have you considered Rallyflapz and non resonated exhaust? 🤔
Temped to upgrade to the new one?... gunmetal grey paint and rally inspired dash is🔥
I've had my GRY for 3 years now and the brakes are excellent always - get it checked out. I have the convenience pack version (no torsems etc) but all the mod cons incl sat nav / stereo etc. and I never use iMT and rev match down shift and heel and toe for fun. Noise from exhaust?? You can get many after market exhausts and tune the level of laryness - some good kit in the UK. I live in Australia and we have bucketing rain that feels biblical at times and the GRY is awesome as conditions deteriorate. This is when Honda Civic Type Rs wet their pants.... I do love the Type R but the GRY cost half as much!!! MY car was AU$41,000 new and the Honda is more like $80,000 (and you can't test drive them first) and the new Toyota Corolla GR is $86,000. Also you can tune the GRY to anywhere from +50 to +200HP if you need this.... which I don't - I'm keeping mine til dinosaur fuel becomes unavailable.
IF you think the brakes are shit you have a fault on your car mine are superb. the only annoyance being the hazard lights coming on every time i brake hard.
I have done 22k km in a year and it‘s a great car for anything. The trip last year from Switzerland to John O‘Groats was one of the best road trips you can do and even on a track day in wet Dijon was a blast. I fully agree with Damian‘s criticism about starting procedure and sound, breaks however work perfectly on mine. For me best bad weather car besides the good weather Porsche 718 Spyder, which you own in your stable as well…
Always entertaining 😊
Thank you
Sounds like the Yaris is a car that tuning will bring alive
You can get a 400hp kit for 10k that and a set of coil overs with a straight through pipe and you will have a modern 6r4
Has absolutely nothing in common with a 6R4.
Having owned one I am astonished you say it’s under braked ???
One of the stand out things for me 🤔
That’s the beauty of opinion
Surprised me too. Brakes seem very strong to me.
The brakes are a standout feature in the GR. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion and everyone else is entitled to think it’s utter nonsense 😂
@@Throttle.Monkey Correct :)
My wife's been given strict instructions to bury me in mine. I got Toyota to switch PCS to stored state (so once it's off it's always off). The only complaints (or more correctly niggles) are the damn electronics in it - bit of a faff disabling them but they can't stay on, they ruin it.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, are you having a rush of blood to the head? Please don't let either of these appear in a future episode of "cars I wish I had never sold". I agree with Gren Phelps below, take them to Lichfield, he is one of the really good guys in the industry. Make a video there, I'll bet it gets good viewing numbers. He has properly developed answers to all your issues as well as an excellent suspension kit. Please don't give up yet!
This is a GReat update (sorry about that 🤣). Completely agree with the annoying traits but shocked to hear about the brakes. It’s one of the car’s strongest areas. They are hugely better than the frankly atrocious brakes on my F82 M4 Comp (which melted after two laps of Blyton). I’d definitely get them looked at Damian.
I see what you did there, Mark 👌🏻
Oooh! Nice Red Dwarf reference!
You can count on me 👍🏻
Damian looks 10 years younger with his new diet... GREAT update thank you!
👍🏻👍🏻
What is this diet?? I need to get on it
@@jamieorton6809 😂😂😂
Looks much better in black than other colours - grille is less prominent.
I agree
Pops and bangs fantastic
If you just put the traction control in 'semi-off mode' then the auto braking won't happen. It works for me and you don't need full TC even in wet conditions. Also it cancels the start-stop, so one less button to press when you get in!
It’s not one less button because surely you have to press the TC one
@@TheCarGuysTV Ok, you got me on that one. But for me it's - Press start, turn dial to sport mode, T/C off(ish), pull away whilst holding the annoying lane assist button and off you go. More of a faff than a simple "individual' setting but it's like a muscle reflex now!
@@dommo9056 the sport setting alone cancels the stop start.
I had a car that was far worse. You had to find the right key. Stick it in the ignition. Turn it. Let go. Then you had to push the clutch pedal. Then you had to find 1st gear. All before you pulled off. What a lot of hassle 😂
Well “familiarity does breed contempt”….. 🤨 I’m not allowed to sell mine as my two lads seem to think it’s part of their inheritance! 🤪. I’ve done about 2500 miles and mostly on track, which again, I’m happy to let my lads loose in, whereas no way I’d let them out in my other cars… it’s a future classic and deffo a keeper for this kind of cash, which TBH can be lost in 1 years deprecation on exotics.
Well let me tell you I’ve done 35000 miles in my October 2020 car, yes it’s the first delivery batch, it’s a really great car, but if you want silly thrills and more extreme noise and something is missing in your life get yourself a bmw s1000r job done, none of my supercars come close.
You didn't mention this but I was always surprised when reviewers praised the gear shift on the GR Yaris as I thought mine was annoyingly notchy. I had the 2 year service done a few weeks ago where they changed the clutch fluid and wow, it feels dramatically better! Just a heads up in case anybody has experienced the same.
I completely agree with you and I wished I had mentioned that
My second gear was notchy. Dealer adjustment of gear linkages fixed it for me.
@@Philbyyyy mine still is after service, but only when cold, amplified over the colder winter. It’s ok as you shouldn’t be caning car until all fluids and reciprocating parts are warmed thru anyway.
@@gaycha6589 yeah it's better once it's warmed up. Mine was similar and more notchy when cold. But after the linkage adjustment that was less of an issue too.
@@Philbyyyy that's good to know, thanks. I would say 2nd is the least smooth in mine.
Loving the Patek, I hope that’s a keeper?
Did you try the NONE circuit pack?
i think the gr yaris was made to be a tuners car, probably why it seems a bit bland out of the box.
a full hks exhaust will wake her up, aftermarket pads will give her a bit more bite on the brakes, and a mild tune up to something like 320 hp will give her a bit more pep in her step.
Jason needs to take his Yaris up to Fensport to get it more raw and involving. They can do power upgrades but that's not what's needed here. Stripping it out and making it free of its downbeat persona is.
And can do the Toyota sprint series of course.
The steering feel and brakes are stand out features. The brakes on the GR Yaris are bigger than the ones on the Supra. The brake and steering feel are great. The braking performance class leading in any car. I have an M2C also and it doesn’t come close in this two area
😂😂😂😂
Brakes are definitely a stand out feature.
Nice 5968A 🧡
Get an aftermarket exhaust, Go to Litchfield and get it chipped, and new bucket seats fitted.
I've had mine for around 2 years now and I feel the same way. My biggest gripe is the lack of low end torque and inconsistent boost levels. You never know what you're going to get with each drive. I've also had the diff overheat a few times. I also have a Mitsubishi Evo and it's far more engaging and raw to drive.
Interesting, thanks for sharing
Maybe something wrong with yours? Just need to drop a gear for torque.. I don't floor it unless I'm over 2500 rpm
Another nod to Jason.....had mine a year and sold it. Brilliant, Brilliant when pushing on....super fast....but day to day mundane stuff....I found it boring, Had one though so scratched the itch and glad I took the plunge.
Nice Patek ! Costs more than car 🎉
Need a watch guys video!
Hi guys, When do want me to drop the Subaru 22b and EVO TME Rs down to you - Proper rally specials!
I just bought a Yaris and I went for the executive instead of the gr didn’t see a reason why I needed to go for the gr
why don't you guys just get custom exhausts fitted? Surely that would fix a lot of your main issues?
Put an Akrapovic exhaust & link pipe on mine sounds mega along with Eventuri intake..& uprated suspension & Litchfield tune..hopefully nothing else 🤣…i think u must have a brake fault never heard a single person say the brakes weren’t good enough..you need to do some mods Jason it transforms the car..
My brakes are amazing on mine !!! I'm never selling mine my precious 😂
Why don’t you both stick a Milltek exhaust on it. I’m pretty sure the guys will make it sound how you want it to sound.
As much as I love the GRY, have to say I'm overjoyed my (manual) GR86 doesn't seem to have any of the nannies that need turning off like the GRY does. Odd that's the case seeing as they're both from the same manufacturer. The only thing that needs attention is turning off is the air recirculation which seems to come on whenever it feel like it, but then apparently that can be coded to be fully manual by the stealership which I'll get done at the next service.
There are 33million cars registered in UK. Of which Less than 2500 are GR Yaris. It’s in demand, over hyped or otherwise, and still exceptional VFM at list, compared to Sat the £50k Honda CTR. I don’t see values going anywhere downwards in med term, even if 1000 end of finance deal cars are put on market, which is unlikely.
Seems like Jason was hoping for a relatively cheap, reliable and modern Delta Integrale. Would a TH-camr special possibly do the job enough, ie, an absolutely obnoxious and annoying aftermarket exhaust?
😂😂😂
Time to put the bud light on ice..approaching 100K !
Maybe get an Aprakovic exhaust and get the brakes checked (should be brilliant)
