The thing that you demonstrate Luke, is that you can have driving fun in a hypercar or a small displacement, yet powerful fun machine. No need for drifting or drag racing; just pure enjoyment.Thanks for another real world video.
You could sell me on a Fiat Panda. Incredible cinematography - just a masterpiece of automotive content. Aced it again.

Ohlins suspension is amazing. Every time I see a GR Yaris, I can’t help but stare. Fabulous video, Luke!

love and share the fun you have with this car ... mine is almost 3 years old and I still enjoy every single moment of driving it
Your comments remind me of the old Evo Makkinen edition … it only makes sense as both cars where set up by that same person. Couple of weeks ago i was in Liguria driving the Highway from Genua to France and i was able to keep up with all the high Power Sportscars, i lost them a bit on the straights but was easily able tho catch them in the corners. On mountain roads i‘m always stuck behind seemingly faster cars and bikes and my Yaris is totally stock. It‘s also a very easy car to drive fast if you get to know it‘s characteristics a bit. Again a wonderful Video by Luke (i don‘t even want to call it „a video“ his contents are more like a immersive artful experience)
After a 15 month wait, I just got hold of a GR Corolla and my one real gripe are also the seats, cannot lower them enough. Otherwise just fun to drive and just enough space to work as daily. The engine and the AWD are amazing, but the handling and sound are also great in stock spec. This is working great as my one and only car.

How much was it out the door?
Im from SoCal and funny enough I was watching the other episodes about this car last night. I just bought a GR corolla and took it to the canyon this morning. Handles insanely well and worth every penny!
Was just on some back roads outside of Bern for work a few weeks ago and it was magnificent driving! This takes me back.
Subbed by 35 seconds. Incredible videography in the intro.
I have to say a sad thing, your video are such in high quality I don't watch them directly when they get published because it would be on my phone and I wouldn't enjoy the great job enough... I like to wait and be on my 4k work monitor during my lunchbreak. The sad thing is that I sometimes forget to watch. Keep doing your great work Luke and I'll try to stop forgetting to watch ;) !
I've got a GR Yaris myself, it's my first car and I love it to bits. Thanks for your video, it's amazing to share your experience!

Great vid. I moved from the usa to Portugal a year ago and I picked up a GR Yaris. It’s great on the tight and twisty roads here in the north of Portugal. I must say, the landscapes in this video are stunning. Reminds me of Oregon (my favorite state) back in the US.

Great review. The GR Yaris is quite fantastic, very efficient, but the sound of the stock exhaust is not great. It's the best small sport car on the market.

I’ve done 41000 miles in my pearl circuit car it now fits like a glove. It’s a bonkers car. Trust me it gets better as the miles piles on, it doesn’t loosen up until the 12000 miles service. A to B it’s really fast in all weathers.

Awesome Luke! Really enjoying your excitement. Quick question, which pas you’re on in this video? I’m planning to hit some passes in August with my motorcycle.
Dismounting the wheels, I managed to fit a 33kg emtb in the back with rear seats down. So yes, it is possible and quick release tyres make it work within 5 min :) Anti-slide mat adviced

Hi Luke! I get you! Mine is pretty much stock, but I have had mine since february! It has around 9000 Km and except the clutch which went bye bye (through no fault of mine), I absolutely loved every minute with it ☺️ It is my daily as well, btw. Maybe, at one point, I will change a few things

The seating position issue is always funny to me. Reminds me of the Focus RS. From what I've read, rally cars always have a higher than usual seating position for visibility which is why cool cars like this have this seat height as a "con." Would be nice if from factory you could spec a lower seat though. Great vid as always Luke!

Resonated as that’s the only one that’s legal here and no doesn’t touch the cat.
what i dont like about the GR edition is the "old" Infotainment ....the cloud system is just dope ...and if you buy a 2022 GR you just have the old system...and maybe they can add a bit "GR" for the infotaiment like hyundai with the N Infotaiment this would be a game changer with laptimes etc.

Hi Luke - I have a similar GR Yaris , I have done the evanturi and most recently stuck the full Akra system on it … your right about the sound as mine does feel a little bit obnoxious with the link pipe 😂 Are you going to remap it ? I’m thinking bigger intercooler and cams and then remap as priority over the suspension. Could you let me know what the actual model of the suspension you went for ? Cheers - also I need a good exhaust for my gt4 would you go JCR?
@carswithluke
10 ай бұрын
There is only 1 Ohlins :) and no remap, I don’t like playing around with electronics personally and for what it is I think it’s plenty fast enough especially now with intake, exhaust and downpipe.
I love your videos, they’re great. So what is the story with the Eventuri intake and exhaust upgrades. I live in Zurich and was told by all garages I can’t install those things on my GR Yaris because they’re illegal here. Is there something they’re not telling me that you know of? I’m aching to upgrade mine. Appreciate any info you can share. Thanks!

Exhaust is fully legal and comes with papers, would only not be legal if you didn’t install the centre silencer.

Here in the states I'm waiting to trade in my scion im /Toyota auris for an auto GR Corolla in 2024. Not happy that it's smaller than the Auris which I think was the perfect size (coming from the Toyota matrix) but it'll do and I'll finally get my Japanese real hot hatch to work with my hybrid rav4 soft roader.

Downhill bike, If you remove both wheels you can, it’s just not practical and after trying it once it also caused scratches inside. For me anyway if you have to remove both wheels on a bike to fit it in then it doesn’t work. It’s just very small inside.

You do not need to change the exhaust or the suspension, what’s wrong with the factory suspension… nothing, it’s extremely good, there’s loads of aftermarket brands hyping their stuff and you have to see that for what it is and realise Toyota over engineered this car in many areas , including the dampers.
