    .............................................................
    Welcome to the ULTIMATE hot hatch battle!
    We’ve got the all-new, much loved Toyota GR Yaris going up against the Mercedes-AMG A45 S and Honda Civic Type R across a series of 13 challenges.
    Mat’s brought these three beloved hot hatches together to find out which one is the must-have in 2021. From lap times and interiors through to prices and boy racer features, this video includes it all!
    But which will come out on top - the 1.6-litre turbo powered Toyota GR Yaris, which can produce 261hp & 360Nm? Or perhaps the Civic Type R, which has a 2-litre turbo which will put down 320hp & 400Nm? Or maybe it’ll be the most powerful car here, the A45 S, which despite only having a 2-litre turbo, can produce a HUGE 421hp and 500Nm!
    All we know is, this is NOT to be missed!

    • @james25999

      Scores need to be personalised - Matt weighted every category evenly. The Yaris is a great little car but it is tiny - no one with kids / friends could live with the car on a daily basis. Visibility is terrible with the A Pillars, Infotainment rear mirror. Manual box is very very notchy, and you need to take an UBER from the break pedal to the accelerator - so no heel an toe like the Type R. Maybe owners are hoping the GR will follow the increase in value of the Lancia HF Delta Integrales / Impreza 22B ? Buy those cars actually competed and won WRC championships. The Yaris never will. Bang for buck Type R has to be 1st.

      Mat needs to let the audience know Type R's are "never" meant for straight line speed. The sole reason for Type R's are the corning speed it can maintain, the reason why its a top performer for track test and Nurburgrin FWD time.

      @@wanglee21 Yeah the Civic Type R is a perfect track car that can handle corners well and is an all-around amazing performer. It isn't meant for straight line acceleration, like the Nissan GT-R, Porsche 911 Turbo S, etc, but for what he did, it was pretty impressive. And even the current Type R that'll come out soon did a 2:23 time at Suzuka Curcuit I believe when Honda released that video of the upcoming Civic Type R.

      @emiliospowerballer1441 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@wanglee21 There is no such thing as a sports car not meant to be fast on a straight line but on the corners. Most cars around 300bhp can do around 5 and a half seconds to 100kphh. Its just Honda makes better manuals than most other brands, as shifts are really short, certainly 'faster' than the Hyundai DCT double wet clutch. A really good manual driver shouldn't be spinning the wheels. Rather, he should be holding the clutch and throttle simultaneously while the car is not moving but revving and then suddenly release the clutch. That way, the car flies straight away from the get go.

      To be fair, Type R is hard to launch because of the power it puts at the front tires, as it is evident when watching Matt's attempts.
      People with experience launching this car can get 5.3secs or around that on near-perfect launches. Type R LE can do 4.9secs in same conditions.

    If you went by cost per features the GR is much, much better. If you go by Mileage per kilometre the GR is best. If you go by snow and ice performance the GR is best. The GR is almost like the Lotus Cortina back in the day. Faster, handles better and can beat other cars through cornering. At one point in time in the USA I had seven Cortina's with two that were Lotus. I would love to have one GR Yaris, even though I am now 68 years old I still love twisty roads going fast.

    I must have a GR Yaris. It's the car I dreamed of when I was a teenager in the 80's, while driving various small cars fast on twisty country roads. I had a '75 Celica GT, followed by an '80 Scirocco. My best friend had an '86 Civic Si, among other things. I thought at the time the best possible car would be an Audi Quattro Sport. I feel like this Yaris brings the spirit of that Audi homologation special to life in an attainable form.

    Great content, really enjoyed it! The Mercedes is epic and looks fantastic but rules itself out to a lot of people who are looking at hot hatches - at over £50,000 you would definitely look at other cars available - l would swop my Fiesta ST in for the Yaris - l see that as a far tricker (is that a word 😂) version of the Fiesta and the Honda isn’t for me but lm sure great on a track 👍

    Hi Mat
    Well done ! You’re right to have picked the Yaris GR
    I’ve just taken delivery of mine and, as you say, it’s epic!
    I’ve had lots of sports and competition cars and driven Curborough many times.
    I even had the outright double lap record for a while…
    Anyway, enough of the pomposity…
    The Yaris is such an engaging little car - it’s got such sweet handling, really balanced and great feedback.
    The engine is surprisingly sweet and, as a daily driver, I have found that it’s really easy to use.
    Being an old fart, who had a Mark 1 Golf GTi first time around, this GR has the same appeal. Sporty with useability.
    In your comparison, the Merc is fabulous, but it’s so much more expensive and, with that power, it should be quicker.
    The Civic is great, every respect to it, but it’s a bit too obvious for me.
    In my time, I have had the obligatory Impreza and a 470bhp Evo, but each of these stood out and shouted their presence far too much. Embarrassing sometimes.
    The GR doesn’t. It sounds like a diesel to anyone outside… but plays a mighty tune in the cabin!
    I agree with you; it’s a watershed moment in car building. One that is unlikely to be repeated.
    I feel very fortunate to have one.
    For anyone on the cusp… just ******* buy it.
    You won’t regret it!
    All the best
    Steve

      @ApothecaryTerry 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Having driven the Civic I think that makes sense. It's not an easy car to get the maximum out of. Also honestly the 'Ring time is...well it's not a lie but they must have had utterly ideal conditions and a perfect lap. It's 15 secs quicker than my 981 Cayman S...but around a bunch of other 2 minute laps like Laguna Seca the 981 is 3-5 secs faster on average. I tested the Civic before buying the 981 and in the hands of a non-pro driver like myself the 981 is on a totally different level. I suspect without a bunch of practice I'd be a good 30s quicker round the 'Ring in the Porsche. The Civic is rewarding when you get it right though, so this can all be a positive thing.

    If someone like Kalle Rovanpere, Sebastian Ogier, Ott Tanak or Andreas Mikkelsen had been driving those three cars around the track, I am sure the GR Yaris would have won - provided the frames we saw reflected the track fairly, and there wasn't some hidden long stretch somewhere which gave the Mercedes an advantage. I have not driven the Honda, but both the Yaris and the Mercedes - and found the Yaris by far the most fun drive. That is a car you have to drive when stepping hard on the accelarator - the Mercedes you are being transported in.
