So much better than a WRX. Interesting that they got rid of the 5 door WRX. Maybe Toyota killed off the WRX STi and the 5 door in anticipation of the GR Corolla
Is it better? Wrx has bigger displacement engine with lower boost. Likely to be more consistent, more reliable and longevity as well as more headroom to tune and mod. Costs cheaper and has more room?
@@jonttran1092 the WRX is a heavier car (+250lbs), the dynamics aren't going to be as good as a result, compounded with a higher center of gravity. In terms of longevity, Subaru boxer engines are notorious for head gasket failures. In terms of tuning look up the GR Yaris for perspective (it's the same engine).
Not necessarily better, just different. Wrx has a dedicated awd, this is a front wheel drive biased platform with deployed awd when it's needed. The price of the wrx limited trim is cheaper right now by as much as 12k. Not the same at all.
I currently own a Veloster N, is the GR Corolla worth upgrading to? How does the ride quality compare between the gr Corolla and the Veloster n I'm hoping the gr Corolla has a less firm ride.
You’ll have to test drive one to see for yourself. I drove the N and it wasn’t stiffer than my 16 STi I owned. Hard to say but if I had to put money down I’d bet it’s just as stiff as the N if not little more.
I have an Elantra N. I’d say probably not. What little performance you gain isn’t worth the extra cash plus markups. Not to mention the GR Corolla could never match the N’s exhaust note. I’ve actually seen videos from Japan with the Elantra N edging out the similar GR Yaris.
Will the price makes peoples stomach churn? Make everyone run to Subaru and tail between legs apologise for the fender insults and buy your wrx? The wrx has the bigger displacement lower boost engine to make similar power, should be more consistent, more reliable and better longevity? Plus more headroom to tune for more boost.. GR Corolla needs 25psi boost to be at boiling point to make 220kw… wrx makes 202kw at 12psi boost.. imagine 15-18psi in the wrx?
I’m from the future, and I’m here to say…..the gr is still much more desirable than the wrx. They are not even in the same convo. Was fortunate enough to have some extended wheel time w the gr, it’s just on another level.

Nice review!. Keep it up !
Thanks! Will do!
Can't wait for the 20k over MSRP mark ups on these.
Bro grow up that happens with every new car like wait 6 months jeez
@@fizzcarreviews7997 no, he’s right
He is absolutely right
In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s go over $40,000 mark ups
@@fizzcarreviews7997 Bro what? You a npc or something?
IKR 😅
@@fizzcarreviews7997 He's not kidding about the mark ups. The car will probably increase 50% in price, not even making jokes rn.

“Weak horn sound” “please get out of the way! 😆
The white color looks super sweet!
I'll take circuit GR with a rear wipe delete .
this is epic
He’s got the key!
That Car Should Compete Against The Volkswagen Golf R The 6 Speed Manual.
"Please get out of the way" 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
😭😭
7:17 horn test
I wish you talked about the Seat position and steering wheel. i cant find any other vids that talk about that and see how the wheel and seat adjust.
I currently own a Veloster N, is the GR Corolla worth upgrading to?

EN with its rice exhaust from the factory..
Can they just put that powertrain in the GR86, RWD only?
Does the rear driveshafts uncouple when the handbrake is pulled like it does on the GR Yaris?
it does

Is road noise louder than the Elantra n?
We need 4 doors Morizo Toyota Corolla
Sounds like crank it up on nascar
what happened to the armrest? why is it gone in any core and circuit edition?
Only on pre production
Pre production model quirks, I presume
Ahhhhh the finger smudges on the infotainment 😨
İ30N 🤙
Wow, smallest Toyota grille to date!
What about 0-60 Mph ?
about 5 secs
I didn’t have a chance to do that during this first drive. I’ll have a 0-60 during my full review later on
Yes. Eventually. Lol
Please make drive video on Range Rover SVR 🙏
You act like you can afford it
Just kidn
Of course it's my birthright
This is too much of a highly strung engine. Type r civic would still be a better buy and faster at the corners too.
Pin for being first?
