@@strifu808 I can admit to the fact I wish I had done some more research before this video, as it was a last minute arrangement. That doesn’t change the fact that I actually drove the car and I’ve driven lots of cars & my disappointment comes from my personal comparison to other similar vehicles. The JCW Clubman I reviewed was a lot more fun and had a lot more character. I mean what’s even the point of an honest review if I’m going to figure out all the intricate specs of the car and just tell you what everyone else is telling you? I’m an every day car enthusiast, no professional, and these are my raw , real opinions! Thanks for your feedback, hope to see you in the next one :)

@@kaoriisdriving Poor excuse, a chassis being reinforced is not something to overlook in a car like this. It's pretty much the point of the car. I don't like the corolla and I don't praise it at all for any dynamics having owned it, It doesn't impress anyone of your caliber. I agree, I have driven better cars, but having the information correct in a car review is standard. How else do you think viewers can trust your aforementioned reviews if your credibility doesn't stand in something so simple? you claim honesty yet you're presenting a blatant lie, that's perjury. Other than the fact you didn't do your due research, the justification of the car being less fun than a clubman jcw is a testimony to how much your opinion can be valued, subjectively.

@@strifu808 thats cool, i do this for fun :) you dont have to like my reviews or think im a good reviewer. I did state that I do regret not doing my homework prior, but I enjoy making these videos & there are lots of people out there who enjoy the videos I make! My videos will get better with time, I'm still new to this, so I'm sorry if I've insulted you or ruined your day lol

@@aluisious hey thanks for the critique! I’ve driven a good amount of cars now, so I feel I can make some decent comparisons. I will admit I wish I did some more research on the car prior to the shoot, but it was somewhat last minute; anyways, my reviews are more of a blind reaction to the driving experience. You can find a full list of specs , quirks, and features on so many channels but I want to give you my raw feelings and honest reactions, as an every day enthusiast. I only set the AC to LO because it gets wicked hot in cars when I’m doing reviews , I actually usually turn off the climate control completely, but having this one on the feet was quiet enough to where it didn’t blow into my mic the whole time haha. Moral of the story is, I’m not a professional car reviewer or critique. I have a full time job & cars are my passion. I shoot these videos as a scope through the eyes of an every day car enthusiast. Hope you come back for the next one :)

@@arivega1312 could be true. This 3 cylinder engine seems pretty dang strong though. I’ve seen some good numbers made overseas on these engines

@@4787886 ya sabes mijo

@@dannyphamous thanks for this comment! This is what keeps me motivated to make more videos and continue to work on my editing. I think there are definitely some wrinkles to iron out with the GRC, but imo for the price, I think there’s better options no matter what you’re looking for

No its actually pretty smooth. I know exactly what you mean by jerky like most subarus lol. The GRC in my opinion is a way better daily / family car while the STI or WRX is a better performance car

I had a VA and a VB WRX. Both great cars but I have a GR Circuit now and it is better in every way except interior space. If you can have only one car for a daily and have kids the WRX is better.

Seriously! I mean even the "cheap entry level" sports cars are getting wildly marked up. I had a reservation for a 2022 GR 86 and I reserved the base model and out the door it was like $40k. It's ridiculous how they take a $28k msrp and stretch it to $40k. However, I will give credit where its due and if someone really wanted a fun little manual hatch with some sport to it, the Corolla XSE is actually a decent little car for a low price (of the new cars). But of course, much much lower tuning potential & slow as ever. Old cars will always have my heart

shit id be happy to get my veloster N back i took it to a take 5 they put the wrong oil in it and boom went the engine

@@ArcticN I really want to drive a volster N. they seem like a lot of fun. I think hyundai is really doing well these days

@@mhk67091 I can definitely agree with this. I think the media has made it seem like it’s a lot faster than it really is though. It’s exciting, but it’s not worth all the crazy hype in my opinion

its pretty poor.. sluggish at low RPM. Someone in the comments mentioned it really only gets responsive above 3k rpm. It almost feels like you're a kid on a leash when trying to accelerate

There is no replacement for displacement.

I think the only reason I may have had any negative feelings about it was because it had been anticipated and hyped up for so long. I've been wanting to buy a GR Yaris for a long time so when we got something somewhat similar to it here in the states it was very hyped. Overall though, I'm impressed with the car in all departments besides power + road feel. But that's just how most modern sports cars are unfortunately. Thanks for watching!

@@murk4545 it’s a 1.6 3 cylinder you will have to rev it out. But in a quarter mile the GR Corolla beats the type r and in 0 to 60 the GR wins too at 4.9 seconds it’s because it’s AWD.

@@kaoriisdriving you might feel a little bit of lag in the throttle as the car makes 26 pounds of boost from factory that is all spooled by only 3 cylinders!

@@kottysimpson psi is relevant. One turbos 10psi can make more horsepower than another turbos 30psi. So the fact that it does have 26psi factory probably means it’s a small turbo

@@kaoriisdriving I don't quite understand what you mean, many factors change the horsepower made vs the amount of boost created and utilized, the gr corolla has a very bad heat soak issue so maybe using less boost from factory may have been better but they would have had to greatly mess with timing to regain the same horsepower if it would be even possible, the best solution with what was given is an intercooler and ethonal blend, this mitigates heat soak entirely and the ethonal reduces knock which the sensors in this engine are very responsive to allowing more boost.

@@nomad2772 I mean I guess? CTR is probably just as good and the new Subarus really don’t have problems like they used to. Reliability has always been Toyotas thing

@kaoriisdriving the ctr does come close with three reliability but it's fwd, which isn't bad either

@@nomad2772 you make a good point though, it does lack something the GRC does with the drivetrain. But with it being FWD it does put more power to the ground than AWD. Give and takes here and there haha

@@kaoriisdriving yeah definitely, this year is good for the hot hatch.

@@nomad2772 thank god honestly. As a hot hatch enthusiast I’m really happy companies are making them again, even if only a few. Can’t lie though, I reviewed a 2020 mini JCW clubman and I 200% prefer that to the GR Corolla

@@KN-jw7ts fellow long islander 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Find someone who will let you drive theirs if you can. I love this car, but I don't think it's for everyone. I also don't think it's worth trading an STI in over but that's probably due to the charm of the STI badge.

@@MrFrank107 honestly, I’d say keep the STI… I love the GR but the STI is quicker and has lots of fun aftermarket parts already available for it. GRC looks great and has nice space and a nice interior and imo sounds better than an STI, but STI is def a better performance car

@@soulsick410 Thanks.

I had a lightly tuned VB WRX with 300whp. Traded it for a GR Circuit and the GRC is better in every way except for interior space. Find one to test drive and see if you like it. The STI is definitely a cool car and probably more comparable to how a GRC handles than the VB.

i could definitely see that. I also think it maybe has to do more with the electronic throttle delay. But I still stand by the opinion that it didnt feel nearly as powerful as i was expecting :c

I had a lightly tuned VB WRX that was 300whp. My stock GR Circuit feels about the same power as my WRX did. The GR is better in every other way performance wise.

@@shineofficial7343 pretty much exactly how I feel. I think these look better on the outside though

I drove both I would buy the Corolla GR because AWD similar performance and lot cheaper because you can get one at MSRP and Type R still has massive mark up.

@@mhk67091 I think here in the states the CTR is actually more available and cheaper. GRCs are crazy marked up

@@kaoriisdriving not true I got my Corolla GR at MSRP and I tired to Type R they wanted 10k to 15k over.. I got my Corolla GR for 38200 plus tax.. I love the performance

@@mhk67091 nice! I guess location plays a big part

@@EdwinGranados-s6q I’ll work on it ! Would love to get behind the wheel of one of those..

of course! you just cant register them here unfortunately. There used to be a vermont loophole, but thats been closed. Seems most importers and Kei owners are going through Massachusets these days. Hit up @waybeforethefame or @mendyimports on instagram! They are great people and can help you out

@@kaoriisdriving thank you so much! I really want to own one

@@sweetdulcesunshinenyc I wish you the best of luck!

Woulda been #1 if it DIDNT HAVE A BOXER

Thank you !

I have no idea ! I don’t own this car , maybe someone who sees your comment will know though. Best of luck !

Thanks for stopping by! I think there are some people that turbo these but I'm not sure that would *really* add more fun to it haha

I'm sure someone can do a livery and definitely make that a good reference with this van haha

Many thanks! I think I’ll be switching my microphone back to the previous one 😅 I think this new one rattles a bit when on the GoPro

Heeeelllll yea brother enter the giveaway !!! Link in description only 50 beans 😎

It was definitely a unique experience to drive 😂 the rattles and lack of power was pretty funny

I think I bought it at H&M in like 2019 lol. Either there or I think maybe like Macy's

most definitely. this video and the last video ive started using my DLSR camera for vlogs, i realized its super shaky. i tried fixing it in post but it just makes it look like its underwater. ordering a gimbal to fix this issue! thanks for the feedback, hope you come back to watch some more

Awesome 😎 Laura’s car makes me miss my Z every time I see it

i would imagine this thing is scary to drive lol

Thanks! I appreciate it a ton !

Many thanks friend

they sure are awesome cars! glad you like yours & thanks for stopping by on the channel :)

glad to hear! theyre definitely great family cars while also being undercover track beasts!

@@kaoriisdriving Love the look of tailgaters when we come up on corners and see them get left behind even when not in sport mode. F54 Clubman has a Jekyll and Hyde personality. 😁I can just imagine what a JCW ver is like. Prob dialed to 11.

not my car! i think the CEL was for an 02 sensor and the blinking light was for the airbag sensor lol. while no car is immune to CELs and dash lights, the difference is that toyotas can drive forever with them on and not have a single hiccup or actual issue
