LOVE YOUR REVIEW BRO! I love that car. I'm from South Africa. I've owned 2 Toyota corollas 28 years ago. One was a sprinter rwd and a 1975 coupe 2 door, that was stolen and never recovered. Now I have an E30 BMW which is immaculate and a Golf mk1 in top condition. But I still long for Toyota Corollas. Well I hope I can possibly purchase the GR circuit edition RHD for SA.

As a Honda boy this car looks way better than what ever the fuck the civics are doing I’m leaning more towards the Corolla it’s legit the perfect hatch the civics look like ugly SUV’s. I could care less about Vtec and the shifts in the long run Toyota quality is superior I found that out owning a 94 Toyota pick up and an 98 civic.

I had the opportunity at my local toyota dealership to choose between this corolla gr or a 2024 supra mt, i chose the corolla gr. Hope i made the right choice🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆

I want one 😊

Why are they “corporate” headlights”? Does that mean standard?

I hope not all is with blue stitching? I like RED!!!

A little background on the armrest. Toyota reluctantly removed it late in development of the car upon the insistence of their test drivers, who were asked by Akio Toyoda to take the optimization of the car for track use very seriously. Removing the armrest increased the cost of the car. If only they would have driven a few more laps and found out about the rear coupling overheating!

@MizzouRah78

10 ай бұрын

@johnjfrederick Interesting. Thanks for that. Tbh, I think that makes me even more annoyed lol. It literally ISN'T a track car. Changes to suspension, gearing, steering, etc, to make a street car more track focused is fine. Taking a mid grade STREET car and doing something so dramatic is silly and unnecessary. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how track focused you make a street car. The vast majority of people will never track it.

There are guys online looking to swap out the useless wireless charge pad for the base model console tray because it gives a few extra CC’s of storage space! 😂 That said, I do think the end result that these guys put together is special. The car feels and drives unlike anything I’ve experienced. Nothing world beating, but far beyond the usual tarted up econobox. Really makes me want to drive the CTR, knowing how unanimously it’s considered a better track car. Just need to get a kidney belt for that.

​@@soverythirsty8272 So say all the youtubers! For $10k more it better be in another league! In my case CTR would have been a minimum $12k premium over the GRC I bought. I was 2nd and 3rd in line for CTR at $5k markup at 2 different dealers. Once actual MSRP was announced I had to pull out. I live in the snow belt, after all. GRC made more sense for me, plus I knew I wasn't going to pay a dollar of markup.

as normal daily hatch, i prefer the more cargo space of civic...but if i want a sporty hatch, i think corolla looks better

Nice hot hatch, but there is one deal breaker for me. All compact cars should have a 40/20/40 split or a pass-through instead of a 60/40 split. I can't count the number of times I used the pass through in my GTI.

Welp, looks my hunt will shift to a circuit.

Nice color. A little darker than Porsche Mexico Blue.

I really, really want to like this car. But it's about $40k MSRP (if you can get it for that) and it doesn't even have an armrest. Yes, I get the mentality. It's a PERFORMANCE car and those pesky armrests get in the way blah blah blah. Yet literally everyone complains about it because anyone who drives it anywhere but the track for any length of time wants it. The last car I had that didn't have an armrest was a 2003 Acura RSX, and it was sorely missed. I will never again buy a car without one because when I'm just cruising down the freeway at 75mph, my arm needs somewhere to sit.
