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.
The Yaris is horid inside and out dunno how you can justify a hot hatch winner with something you wouldnt be seen dead in lol.. AMG A45 by far the best..for 50grand it better be though! For 30grand I certainly wouldnt be buying a Yaris id just get a regular Merc A Class hah.
@@georgedanilopoulos3023 I mean for some the Civic R might be the better joice but when you look at the 4wd of the GR Yaris it seems like a reasonable price
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.
@@comradedog3662 how would that be fair? the merc has almost 160 more hp and 140 nm than the yaris and almost 100 hp and nm more than the civic AND it has AWD whereas the civic is FWD... and also considering the price difference of almost £20,000, I dont think raw 0-60 would be fair at all...
I was quite impressed that Mat was able to pull that off in the Civic Type R with front-wheel drive. The wheel spin doesn't help, but hey, anything is possible :D
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.
@@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.
I like your comparison, but to me a yaris is more like a dog.. always loyal a true friend, always happy when you come and a totally different and fully alive when you take it out to forests/to a spin

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.
Type R would be my choice on balance, and to be fair all 3 being within a point in the final score means they’re all really good. Really enjoyed this format, please do more like this, it was better than the latest Grand Tour episode!
I agree~ I think each car has its best characteristics like we've seen in this video. For example, the A45 with the interior, the Civic Type R for its practicality, the GR Yaris for its nimbleness and cool design, etc. They all have their characteristics that make them good cars for different people.
It only holds records nobody else has attempted. Nobody has ever been around the 'Ring in a production car in a time anywhere near the one claimed by Hondas prototype on special tyres with a roll cage.
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.
3 different but fun cars. Nice video highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. I don’t care about the scores but lots of great info and entertainment in here.
@@robertosobreiro6212 Ok but then why not give the Mercedes the 3 points? Other rules are invented so that the points can be adjusted. If necessary, I can adjust each test so that the car of my choice wins.
@@berryzie7544 Because the point of this drag race is not to see which is the quicker car in a straight line. We all know it's the amg. If the Manufacturer claims 5.5 sec for the Yaris and Mercedes claims 3.9 (and knowing the cars) you go in knowing that it's quicker
@@berryzie7544 Mat explained it well. The amg is a very good car that feels very mechanical because of all the systems helping you. The Yaris is a "real" car with it being manual, with a hand brake. And at the end of the day you cannot forget that the amg costs 20k more, which also affects decisions. For 20k I could get a good used 2nd car to add to my garage
Love the new scoring system for these 3-way comparison vids, but one gripe to note: Should’ve taken averages for the 0-60 test. Merc woulda won. Please continue to do this style of review Carwow Team. Bring us this 3-way next: 2021 BMW M4 Comp 2022 Merc Benz C63s 2021 Audi RS5
Could you have been more bias on this "review" just because you love the Yaris doesn't make the best car there, also a car getting 2 points for a fake exhaust sound, go go Matt
I agree, he really likes that Yaris, and at the price, he may be right, but I'd take the Honda, and especially the Mercedes over the Yaris any day of the week.
You act like you’ve driven all 3 of them 😂 the man likes the Yaris, so what? I think the amg is by far the best but then again with the options on it you could buy both the Honda and the Yaris for the same price. It’s just a fun vid, chill out bro
@@TommyCraft5 LOL YES IT COULD, TYPE R BEATS A LOTS OF AWD SPORTS CARS RECORDS IN NURBURGRING AND THERE ARE OTHER LOTS OF VIDEOS HERE IN YT. I HAVE AN EVO X AND A TYPE R, BUT I LOVE MY TYPE R HANDLING BETTER.
@@rishabhrules9953 maybe because its just a video for fun? its not a real compairson, stop being salty about a joke (a entire video is a joke, for entertainment) btw sorry for bad english
you would have to be an idiot to think anything other than the A45 won. Of course, the reason it won is because its in a completely different league, and should not be compared to these other cars. But if you actually think any other car was the best, you are delusional
Love this video. One question, I did't notice a cost of ownership category that would be a combination of fuel efficiency, average maintenance cost, and insurance rates. I know for a hot hatch fuel economy is a big difference in daily drivers. I think this category would give a more rounded view of the cars.
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.
Yeah. Fuck the haters. It looks much better than the toyota, which looks like a regular yaris but with curves, or the mercedes which...looks like a normal mercedes with its back cut off...like a classic old man car my 60 year old stepdad used to drive and love...rip. The civic is the only car that isnt dull and lolks like a sportscar you can go straight to tokyo and do drifts among your peers.
You’re praising the Yaris way too much. Im not fanboying, but you can’t compare it to that A45 S. That Merc literally has the most features, most power and a luxurious interior.
I have a problem with the way you did the 0-60 test. I mean, getting a 0.11s faster time on a 3.9s reference is a hell of a lot tougher than doing 0.18s faster on 5.9s. I think there should also be points for consistency. 0-60 should also be how consistently you can hit the time and not necessarily what's the fastest you can do.
I think the real problem is wth kind of acceleration test is based on how much faster one driver can go faster than what a company's marketing department puts out?!? Perhaps a more fair or even more relevant one would be which car accelerates faster.
I think the Yaris had some trouble going to 60 cause you made a gearchange everytime just before 60, maybe you would have hit the rev limited otherwise but anyway :)
@@danieljakobsen1289 The only thing the Yaris wins in is price. This was a biased competition that was good for half an hours worth of entertainment. Objectively, the Merc blows the Yaris (and every other "hot hatch") out of the water. If money wasn't a factor, there aren't many sane people who would pick the Yaris over the Merc.
@@SsSoutlaw4SsS okay fanboy. It still beat the a45s 😂😂 and it wasn't biased, if it was Mat would do a way faster 0-60 time, some people get it as low as sub 5 sec so it would win that test too 😂
Yea, why not spent 34k on Yaris - so unpractical....like...when you have a girlfriend and she says ... "Why you have space for 3 chichens at the back..." thats Lame... The Merc is ... 53k almost....Fuel Unefficient, Unpractical in any mean of the word and....Its automatic.... Civic is cool, is cheaper, its very practical so when you go on holiday you fill your truck and you are still The Rocket on The motorway... So Carwow, guys.... 34 minutes video to prove that your feedback is very wrong
@@ИвайлоДимитров-ь3ь This video was NOT supposed to be taken seriously. :) He loves the yaris, he said it in multiple reviews before. Btw if someone buys a car (probaly as second car) for 53k then he/she doesn't care about fuel efficiency,
Yup. This video was a total disgrace. Mat bias making Carwow lose credibility and trust. Mat could've just made a Video tracking the GRY and talking about it if he want ( like the Suzuki J and people loved that). But making false points like saying that cheap interior is good or trying hard to make the A45 and TypeR look bad is just awful.
@@SaintMecha A proper speedo and tach, and a mechanical handbrake (and a mechanical shifter and clutch), are better than cheesy iPad screens. Regardless of which ones are "cheap", and which ones are expensive. The GRY also has an almost entirely mechanical driveline, with little, if any, electronic interference. So the more mechanical cluster, is simply more in tune with the zeitgeist of the car. Heck, if Merc UK don't include radar cruise in the Benz, that's missing out on the one electronic nicety really worth having. The Merc looks good, no doubt. But so does the GRY. Just in a different, more manual and mechanical, less computerized and overwrought way.
The Type-R is state of the art hot hatch. The Mercedes is that, in the premium segment. The Yaris deserves points for being more extreme than its base model, but it will never compete with a Type-R, Mégane RS or GTI Clubsport. No chance.
Ik right He was very biased this video! First time I knew a car wow video wasn’t fair. The golf r should have been here instead of the Mercedes. No one would ever pick a Toyota (homologation special or not) over a Mercedes (especially the a45s). The Honda is also better. Plus, did he suddenly change his mind on fake exhaust sounds through the speakers. Sorry Mat, your videos are great but this one just wasn’t fair.
He didnt buy one, he was provided one by Toyota. The Mercedes in the video is also provided by Mercedes for him to drive like the Yaris afaik. So I doubt there is a bias based on his own purchasing decision here
Carwow aside I think it gets the rep it deserves. Everyone pay's it due respect (although maybe they don't fawn over it). Could we blame the marmite looks for that?
@@tomasczepa934 Can forgive the shit sound to an extent due to the state of regs but even relatively speaking it's poor as f. Aftermarket to the rescue! Although no one has seemed to rescue it's looks to something more toned down but tasteful - I've looked!
I prefer the civic to the other 2 cars, yaris is dull inside and the fake exhaust noise is a no go for me, the merc is in another category but it never clicked for me, seems too easy as matt said.
Giving the Yaris 2 points in exhaust is definitely a miss😂. It sounded like it wasn’t on, at least the Honda had induction noise. Whacked a full race exhaust system on mine and is sounds like it shouldve
Am sorry, when Matt says the Type R design is shit, you know this review is gonna be crap. The design is definitely not to everyone's taste, but calling it shit and giving look credits to a Toyota, just weird
I completely understand you. In my opinion, I like it. It’s simple and fewer things to go wrong. It’s not trying to be fancy or trying to be something that it’s not. Toyota is conservative on their designs, and keeps it reliable and functional. Im sure that it’ll most likely last a long time as well whereas the Mercedes will be an electrical nightmare as it ages.
Well, I love the GR Yaris because the interior looks simple, and not over the top, but that's just me, it doesn't look bad for my taste. It's understandable, the merc does have more features and a more newer design.
That yaris isn't a cheap car either. I've seen cheaper toyotas and less with better interior. Even the normal yaris has digital cluster lol. I would feel so cheap and poor if I sat in that crazy yaris and a car with nice interior pulled up next to me.
What a surprise and as such slightly biased. We all knew the Yaris would win, after all you in another of your videos stated that you had bought one. The score should have been, in my opinion Civic 1st. Yaris 2nd. AMG 3rd. Purely because the AMG is a ridiculous price. The Civic offers more practicality at a far better price. The Yaris is a great car, but too small. I think your bias towards the Yaris is unacceptable, especially considering that you own one. I personally don't own any of these cars, and have no plans to do so, therefore I am not biased. 🙂 🏴 🇬🇧
Hi Mat here. Which of these three cars would you pick? Let me know and we'll see which gets the most comments: GR, Type R or A45 S.

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.
Manufacturer claimed:0-62mph(0-100kmph)

Type R would be my choice on balance, and to be fair all 3 being within a point in the final score means they’re all really good. Really enjoyed this format, please do more like this, it was better than the latest Grand Tour episode!
I agree~ I think each car has its best characteristics like we've seen in this video. For example, the A45 with the interior, the Civic Type R for its practicality, the GR Yaris for its nimbleness and cool design, etc. They all have their characteristics that make them good cars for different people.
The look of the Honda puts it completely out of any choice.
Price.
The Honda is for poor people
@@jayhall7784 lol, what did you just say????

I thought the A35 "AMG" is more comparable with type R and GR Yaris since it got 300 bhp range and the price range is kinda similar.
So he managed to drive the record-holding track car slowest around a track :D
It only holds records nobody else has attempted. Nobody has ever been around the 'Ring in a production car in a time anywhere near the one claimed by Hondas prototype on special tyres with a roll cage.
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.
Haha I was thinking the same thing.
Well, starting from 0 mph, and if we use 0-60, the Type R is already losing maybe 2 seconds to the AMG. IMO, Should’ve been a hot lap.
I was thinking the same 😂
Mercedes : "What can i do for you?"

@@berryzie7544 I agree
@@berryzie7544 Because the point of this drag race is not to see which is the quicker car in a straight line. We all know it's the amg. If the Manufacturer claims 5.5 sec for the Yaris and Mercedes claims 3.9 (and knowing the cars) you go in knowing that it's quicker
@@berryzie7544 Mat explained it well. The amg is a very good car that feels very mechanical because of all the systems helping you. The Yaris is a "real" car with it being manual, with a hand brake. And at the end of the day you cannot forget that the amg costs 20k more, which also affects decisions. For 20k I could get a good used 2nd car to add to my garage
Love the new scoring system for these 3-way comparison vids, but one gripe to note: Should’ve taken averages for the 0-60 test. Merc woulda won. Please continue to do this style of review Carwow Team.

Could you have been more bias on this "review" just because you love the Yaris doesn't make the best car there, also a car getting 2 points for a fake exhaust sound, go go Matt
I agree, he really likes that Yaris, and at the price, he may be right, but I'd take the Honda, and especially the Mercedes over the Yaris any day of the week.
@Tobias Belz and the yaris sounds like a barber hair cutter.
You guys complaining...we'll get the 3 cars and do a comparison you'll self
You act like you’ve driven all 3 of them 😂 the man likes the Yaris, so what? I think the amg is by far the best but then again with the options on it you could buy both the Honda and the Yaris for the same price. It’s just a fun vid, chill out bro
And fake carbon fibre to win that boy thing
hold on Matt, there’s an A35, that A45s is a totally different price range, isn’t the right car to compare to the Yaris and Honda

Love this video. One question, I did't notice a cost of ownership category that would be a combination of fuel efficiency, average maintenance cost, and insurance rates. I know for a hot hatch fuel economy is a big difference in daily drivers. I think this category would give a more rounded view of the cars.
"One question" literally doesn't ask a single question 😂

Its the best looking out of these three

Agreed!!!
Still looks better than civic
Civic looks better, but Yaris has better mechanical bits.
Absolutely! I thought the Yaris would be the one getting 1 point here
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.
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I really love the look of the type r
Press D to cringe
D
It’s a lovely looking car. You warm to it. I own a black FK8.
Yeah. Fuck the haters. It looks much better than the toyota, which looks like a regular yaris but with curves, or the mercedes which...looks like a normal mercedes with its back cut off...like a classic old man car my 60 year old stepdad used to drive and love...rip.
The civic is the only car that isnt dull and lolks like a sportscar you can go straight to tokyo and do drifts among your peers.

You’re praising the Yaris way too much. Im not fanboying, but you can’t compare it to that A45 S. That Merc literally has the most features, most power and a luxurious interior.
And the yaris being a proper homologation means nothing?
Doesn’t mean it’s any good though does it 😅🤦🏼♂️
Yea but the yaris is more fun, you can actually go offroad with it, and fun is what hot hatches are meant to be.
Yes and its 50k while the toyota is 30k. Getting beat by a toyota is surprising but everytime you see a mercedes amg you know its fast.
but it's not the best driver's car is it ? Also its much more expensive.
Haven't even watched the ending to know the result.
I have a problem with the way you did the 0-60 test. I mean, getting a 0.11s faster time on a 3.9s reference is a hell of a lot tougher than doing 0.18s faster on 5.9s. I think there should also be points for consistency. 0-60 should also be how consistently you can hit the time and not necessarily what's the fastest you can do.
definately agree
I think the real problem is wth kind of acceleration test is based on how much faster one driver can go faster than what a company's marketing department puts out?!? Perhaps a more fair or even more relevant one would be which car accelerates faster.
agreed, consistency matters
I think the Yaris had some trouble going to 60 cause you made a gearchange everytime just before 60, maybe you would have hit the rev limited otherwise but anyway :)
Thats exactly what I thought
Yep...changing at 59 mph is going to slow every time. Have seen figures in the 4.8s on other tests
I feel that the Mercedes AMG A45 S should be in its own class along with the Audi RS3. Maybe something along the lines of "Hyper Hatch".

@@danieljakobsen1289 The only thing the Yaris wins in is price. This was a biased competition that was good for half an hours worth of entertainment.

Such biased BS. I love the GR but I'd never try to convince someone it's a better overall car than the Mercedes or Type R
Yup. This video was a total disgrace. Mat bias making Carwow lose credibility and trust. Mat could've just made a Video tracking the GRY and talking about it if he want ( like the Suzuki J and people loved that). But making false points like saying that cheap interior is good or trying hard to make the A45 and TypeR look bad is just awful.
The GR is better than that Civic in everyway 😂 so much but hurtness going on in these comments
@@SaintMecha A proper speedo and tach, and a mechanical handbrake (and a mechanical shifter and clutch), are better than cheesy iPad screens. Regardless of which ones are "cheap", and which ones are expensive. The GRY also has an almost entirely mechanical driveline, with little, if any, electronic interference. So the more mechanical cluster, is simply more in tune with the zeitgeist of the car.
Heck, if Merc UK don't include radar cruise in the Benz, that's missing out on the one electronic nicety really worth having.
The Merc looks good, no doubt. But so does the GRY. Just in a different, more manual and mechanical, less computerized and overwrought way.
The Type-R is state of the art hot hatch. The Mercedes is that, in the premium segment. The Yaris deserves points for being more extreme than its base model, but it will never compete with a Type-R, Mégane RS or GTI Clubsport. No chance.
Say "Try driving the GR Yaris at high speed, a rainy day, off road, and snow."
Hi, Mat! It will be great to see the same test with added new Golf R and new Audi RS3. P.S.: From Russia with love ))))
Of course YARIS WON! You just bought one!
Yaris is a good car but not better than the other two and the Mercedes should not be there, not the same league
Ik right
He was very biased this video!
First time I knew a car wow video wasn’t fair.
The golf r should have been here instead of the Mercedes. No one would ever pick a Toyota (homologation special or not) over a Mercedes (especially the a45s). The Honda is also better.
Plus, did he suddenly change his mind on fake exhaust sounds through the speakers.
Sorry Mat, your videos are great but this one just wasn’t fair.
Bwahahaha yep shocking review. Civic slower on a track lmao 😂 hmm maybe amateur driving to blame for that. Very biased
He didnt buy one, he was provided one by Toyota. The Mercedes in the video is also provided by Mercedes for him to drive like the Yaris afaik. So I doubt there is a bias based on his own purchasing decision here

The Yaris is good enough, but by given the same amount of money, I would go with type R, if the money wasn’t an issue and then Merc.
I would take the mercedes. That yaris cabin would annoy me when. Reminds my of my grandmas camry car interior from from 1990.
Can't agree more, in 2021 with a cabin like that is a definite no no.
I completely understand you. In my opinion, I like it. It’s simple and fewer things to go wrong. It’s not trying to be fancy or trying to be something that it’s not. Toyota is conservative on their designs, and keeps it reliable and functional. Im sure that it’ll most likely last a long time as well whereas the Mercedes will be an electrical nightmare as it ages.
Well that Merc has got that interior because of reasons too :D you could easily buy a GR Yaris and a Type R for the price of that A45
Well, I love the GR Yaris because the interior looks simple, and not over the top, but that's just me, it doesn't look bad for my taste.
It's understandable, the merc does have more features and a more newer design.
That yaris isn't a cheap car either. I've seen cheaper toyotas and less with better interior. Even the normal yaris has digital cluster lol. I would feel so cheap and poor if I sat in that crazy yaris and a car with nice interior pulled up next to me.

What a surprise and as such slightly biased. We all knew the Yaris would win, after all you in another of your videos stated that you had bought one. The score should have been, in my opinion Civic 1st. Yaris 2nd. AMG 3rd. Purely because the AMG is a ridiculous price. The Civic offers more practicality at a far better price. The Yaris is a great car, but too small. I think your bias towards the Yaris is unacceptable, especially considering that you own one. I personally don't own any of these cars, and have no plans to do so, therefore I am not biased. 🙂 🏴 🇬🇧
