To clarify, if it was my second car i'd take the GR over the Type-S. Mostly because I'd feel better beating it up in the snow and ice over the winter. If it's one car only... I'd stick with the Type-S. What would you guys drive?!

For me I’d take the GR in the Circuit Edition. I live in the south east so snow isn’t a thing down here😎. I love autocross and road racing so once there’s a solid solution for the rear differential overheating I’ll be set. Plus I’m on a bunch of waiting lists for Circuit Edition so I’m biased lol. Type S looks awesome though so either way it’s a good choice.

GR all day

Not to mention, here in Australia powertune pulled 700hp on a standard engine, on a Yaris, but same engine, so that 3 cylinder engine, is just amasing, and time will only tell, and hope you going to review soon a tuned corolla, like mildly tuned 500HP one, just to see you drive and smile😊

Got mine over 8 months ago and I love mine

Not just turbo but unelectrified or possibly even with any internal combustion engine at all. Toyota also made many naturally aspirated hot hatches with the craziest probably being the Blade Master, a Corolla with the 2GR 3.5L V6 (it had a 5-speed auto or something like that but an almost 300 hp V6 in a hatchback is pretty wild).

Great review as always bro. Such a cool car, and the engine is a marvel. it’s crazy with all the hybridization and ev-everything that’s going on with manufacturers today that they were able to make this. I would be curious to see if this engine finds its way into a future model of the Gr86

After the RTV issue that's been plaguing the GR86, Toyota will quietly drop the subaru boxer for the 1.6l 3-pot GR engine

LOVE my GR Corolla bc it’s fast, awd, turbo, stick, and a true hot hatch 👍🏼

Woah those key tags are so cool! Now I just need to find a way to get my hands on an IS 500 so I can rock that 2UR-GSE tag😂😭

I been loving my gr corolla And the main reason I gotta is because. It's an actual toyota not a Subaru or BMW and it's not A hybrid or ev

Bought mine in Premium right before the new year! Love the heck out of it, gonna hold onto it until the day it dies - hopefully a long, long time from now!

Waiting for so long😂

Love the whoosh when I come off the throttle. Clutch is tough, but get use to it.

Cheers for honestly sharing that the DE5 Type S might be what you settle with as your singular enthusiast car. Suprised you didn't pair up the more rawer Type R to the GR Corolla instead of the softer Type S

Simply because I haven't driven the Type-R. If I lived somewhere that got a lot more snow in the winter than Vancouver, I'd take the GR

It's "limited" production but only in the micro sense. In the macro over the next few years (however long they keep building it), they'll be building as many as people want to buy. It's not a set number. Only the Circuit and Morizo editions are limited to a set number per year. What manufacturers love to do though is kind of squeeze the demand and not build any more than the people want.

When looking at AWD, sure. The WRX is way down on power compared to the GR, Type-S, and Golf R. It's much closer in price and power to the GTI. Now if the STi still existed... that would be a different story.

So you CLAIMING FACTS that this might be LAST???

Not claiming anything! Just saying it might be. Toyota seems focused on electrifying their fun, sporty cars and the FT-Se concept is a perfect example of that.

“This is the only GR that is authentically Japanese” even though Subaru is Japanese. Embarrassing.

NO! GR Yaris is KING - Because lower weight (1280 kg). Carbon roof standard all GR Yairs models. Cool frameless 2 doors style. More true to it's Ralley inheritance than the Corolla - Yes, backseat useless, but who want's to ad extra kilos to your car when having fun? (having 2 more farting humans than nessesary in the car?) 🤣🤣🤣🤣PS, 2024 Yaris model will get the 300HP now in the Corolla (not that it need it...)
