Every so often Toyota comes out with a real winner like this. If they were smart they would force their dealers not to do a mark up and sell these things like hotcakes.
Nice driving skill! Thats a sick car in wet condition its Nice yo see how good you can drift it! There is a chip for a quick 20hp xtra if you looking to make it more exciting!
As someone who's first 3 cars were RWD ('66 Mustang 289 V8, '78 Datsun 280Z, '85 Toyota Corolla GTS) and none with stability control or abs, I would have zero fear using the 30/70 torque split setting on a road like that. I think we've forgotten how to drive in recent years, but something like the GR Yaris/Corolla (for US) can bring some of that back I think, but in a way thats safer and more controllable. It may seem like a small thing to some, but a pull handbrake that decouples the rear diff? Yes plz😎
I seen thestraightpipes video on the GR corolla and they couldn't even get the back end to break out on a giant skidpad I hope it was just there user error cause I want the gr corolla and I want to be able to slide it around like this one
@@dustinmallett1703 I havent seen that segment, but I suspect sticky performance tires, dry warm pavement and a little bit of user error is to blame...especially considering the handbrake. Wait until the roads/track are cold and wet...then engage the 30/70 along with the handbrake for plenty of tail happy action. I mean sure, even having 30% torque to the front wheels could be making the car "too stable"...but it's only a matter of time before the aftermarket tuners crack the code on the adjustable torque. At very least reducing the front assist to 10% or even 0% if possible. Not sure the rear diff alone is strong enough to handle the GR Corolla being purely RWD, but I have little doubt someone will test it for us eventually.😎
Dumb question maybe, but why do you keep shifting up at 4500 rpm just to downshift immediately? Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the same gear and ride it through the full powerband?
Ha! I know EXACTLY where this is... :) great driving, and a very fun road indeed. The section further down from here is fun too, but it's more difficult to find it empty...
ahaha cool story ! i think very few people know this road... i filmed the lower section too, but like you said too much traffic... this summer im gonna close the road and film it again !
@@AB-tw5hc it is definitely not a particularly popular destination, especially in the summer, when there is no snow :-) I look forward to seeing your next video. Good work with that GR!
That was the best POV i saw in a long time. Probably one of the most enjoyable ever. Toyota really has made something great with the GR Yaris! This makes you feel like a rally driver! I hope i get the chance to test drive it. If you’re reading this, how is the fuel consumption? I bet its really good when you’re driving normally. Normally i don’t care but with today’s oil prices climbing, this is probably the most fun petrol powered car you can get.
❤
Which mode were you using? .. You are very good
Oh my GAZOO!
Fab stuff 🏁👍👏
Great drive! Great car!
Bad form. That grip will get you killed
👏👏👏👏👏😎😎😎😎🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍
There has to be a better phone holder, feel bad for the phone. Great driving by the eat
1:09 you couldn't make that look any easier 😂
Hobby mc rae Firtst gear drift. For cutting curves which u don’t see if some is coming, u deserve a slap 👋🏼
That looks like so much fun!
nice! stock tires?
wow.
You are such a skilled driver. I watch the whole thing. What tires do you have on?
IG name?
Do you press the clutch in when pulling the handbrake or there is no need for this car?
Should use cup of water)
Please buy me one
What masterful driving!
When you pull the handbrake do you lift off the gas ??
Awesome driving sir. Hats off to you.
The driving is very 🤏🤏 and I like it picasso
Could you share your drive settings? Modes etc.. would love to see what you were using..
Sick skills bruv
Jeez! that cabin is quiet.
This gave me anxiety and a rush at the same time. Wet roads, public area, and an adrenaline dump 🙄. Great driving!!!
This is my dream sports car as of now, i really want to own one someday or test drive it would be cool, im still young tho maybe one day

Any mods ? stock tires?

You know he knows the car when he's moved the rear view mirror! You'll only understand when you have/drive one...

Amazing! Enjoying your car! How it should be.
