I always loved watching Top Gear for it's entertainment value and Fifth Gear for it's more technical presentation.

The Evo VII actually weighs 1400kg, so that power to weight figure is going to be off. The problem with comparisons like this is the Toyota is going to be a far fresher car & more than likely from the press fleet so it'll be well maintained. The Evo is far older & unless it's been treated to new tyres, brakes, suspension bushes & so on, it's never going to drive quite as well as it should. It's nice to see that the Evo is it's still around because a lot of them aren't in great condition these days. Especially rust.

The GRY is also 1280kg, a lot more than 50kg lighter; which is amazing it’s for sale in the current market requirements.

Regarding power to weight ratios it's dependent on the situation I'd say, on a tight technical circuit a car that's 150hp and 1000kg would likely beat a car that's 300hp and 2000kg. But on a track with longer straights that 300hp is going to make a difference, mass is less important once the cars in motion on straights.

I love the idea of Old Super vs New Daily. How well do the classic pinup supercars of the 80's and older do in all aspects vs a modern family sedan (not even a hot hatch). 0-60, hot lap, stopping time, slalom courses etc. I'd bet those "Super" cars would end up being better left as a bedroom poster.

Nice comparison stock to stock - would've been interesting to see them on the same tyres and maybe some fresh brake fluid though! They really are a blast to drive both the evo's and the GR Yaris's. Only briefly tried a GRY but had an evo 5rs (race car), a 6 tme (stock) and a 7 (trackday car) and they've all been phenomenal. Can see in my latest track video at cadwell park from 20:00 mark to end a lightly modified evo is a good chunk faster, both cars not pushing 100% tho to be fair low boost for me and was super hot.. had been on track all day and did like 8 tanks of fuel 🤣 good to see a homoligation car on the market at a decent price again

People aren't complaining about brake fade, they're complaining about it having shagged brakes ie warped. What person would take their car to the track in a competitive setting and uses stuffed parts? "Heading to the track today to try and beat my PB. I've got plastic tyres and brakes that are warped like you wouldn't believe. Oh well, shouldn't matter, neither of those things are important". In other words. People don't want things to "be the same". They want the evo to be as close as it was to factory condition, not to be raced around a track with obviously degraded parts. Can't gauge progression if one car has degraded components and one doesn't - not accurately at least. It was flying lap of a short track to compare times - one lap to get things warm (like tyres etc) and one lap at full noise (the flying lap). On this particular track, I don't think brake fade would be an issue after one time attack lap.

Well the GR Yaris is the only car actually in this race due to one simple reason: You cannot get a Evo 3-4-5-6-7-8-9 that's not modified, crashed or ruined at all. Unless you pay Porsche money. Even if the GR is expensive for a small car at least it exists. And won't kill you quite so much in a car crash, hence the weight vs 90's cars. Still the lightest (new-ish) performance car out there aside from A110's and lotuses.

As an owner, there are some minor things I do not like, but none related to the driving experience. For example, there are no parking sensors (only the camera) and with an ass as big as a Kardashian you need to be careful when parking. There is no light on the trunk (I installed some small battery powered lights) and some other minor things like that. But driving it is really fun and up to the hype

All things relative and linear, no, it wouldn't. That's like saying give the evo a head start and it would win.

Can’t wait to watch this one.

Be interesting to see if the Evo had the same tyre's how would it compare and also brake fluid change 😅

EVO FTW

Except it didn't

The Evo's body rolls too much, maybe a brand new and stiffer suspension would cut half a second. Fit better tyres like Michelin PS cup 2 then perhaps it has a chance to beat the GR Yaris. I think the evo loses a lot of time in the corners.

Great video but the music playing in the background at 25 seconds onwards is driving me nuts. What is it please anyone?

I wanna see JP review the Fiesta ST. I think he'd love it! May as well do a shootout against its brother the Puma st or versus it’s grandpa the Mk1 Focus RS. 🔥

Well at least its not electric I suppose...

Would love to see E36 M3 vs G80 M3.

The evo is a cracking handling car.

I love this show

Where these cars on an equivalent TW tire and how old were the tires on the EVO?

Genuine lol at some of the comments. There is 20 years of development in it and the Evo still did well. Lusted after the Tommi Mak edition and still do.

Seeing Jason making funny faces behind the wheel of a EVO is nice to see. Sadly modern cars aren't fun any more which is what driving is all about.

I prefer the old school lag tbh, I have a GR Yaris CP and a Celica St205 GT4 and you cant beat the feeling of old school boost! the yaris is bloody quick down twisties though!

When I insured my Evo the call centre guy told me about these Yaris GR and I've been intrigued ever since! He tracks it regularly! I'm still team EVOOOOO though lol. This was the perfect video for me to watch. I'm hoping my fq360 IX would bridge that one second gap in my mind lol... Newer tyres on the Evo would have bridges that gap tbf. And I'd take the loss for the slightly bigger car, that half a meter is a very usable boot space!

You should try the GR - you can also fit better tyres to a GR which would increase the gap yet further

How compact hatchback GR Yaris with 4 seats and 174L of boot space weights almost the same as 5 seater Evo 7 sedan with 400L of boot space? Considering they've got quite similar capability. What is that we've lost in those 20 years?

For full balance in the test, I wonder if the EVO's suspension bushes, brakes etc. had recently been overhauled and has it been messed with over the years, like a hot air cone intake for example?

Yes, it has an uprated intercooler and intake
