      @@hassankhan384 While I agree with you on the most part, you cannot really say it's all bollocks since many many manufacturers are going 100% electric in a few years time. That doesn't mean that old cars will disappear though, and I will probably also be driving a petrol car until they aren't legal anymore. I am hoping that once electric cars become more normal the styling will also go a bit more normal, I am not a huge fan of electric cars that try to be something different.

      @@hassankhan384 Well atleast here in Finland the taxes are lower on electric cars. The lithium mining isn't great, and electric cars are non polluting only locally. That being said it is the future, like it or not. I am still not a huge fan, but I still accept that it is how it is. It's not like I am buying a new car anyway, so it doesn't matter much to me personally. Charging places and charging times are also a big limiting factor for many people who need to drive long distances to the countryside here, since charging can take hours and the range isn't enough to last even halfway through Finland.

EVs are not green, not safe, and not sustainable in long run, at moment they might be cheap due to the popularity once if they do come normal cars on roads I can bet gov is gonna ripp you for not only taxing them but also increasing electricity bills sky high and petrol will be cheaper then electricity then.

    But, dang. the way Matt talks about this car makes it sound like one of those rare initially affordable cars that become instant classic and almost disappears within a year because of rarity and people's obsession with them.

    Whilst I was at the dealership, another young guy and his friend arrived in a Porsche to come view the Yaris. The salesman whispered to me that this guy had just bought 6 of the GRs so that he and his friends can all go racing together.

Plus a 3 cylinder yaris, no matter how special, isn't anything to shout about. Its not like the 1M or a honda s2000, something special and kinda cool.

The manual hot hatch is here to stay, until the world is highly electrified. Even then, you could be allowed. In fact, If I’m gonna be allowed one ICE car in the future, it will be a hot hatch or a hot saloon, not a supercar because I can realistically enjoy it on the road.

    Hope Mat’s having a better time with ‘his’ GR Yaris High Performance than I had with mine. Whereas the other two cars in my garage - the latest versions of Mini Cooper and Camaro 2SS - are a true joy on the Nordschleife at Nürburgring, I soon got bored of the overly 4WD-ish road feel, but perhaps a 2WD will always have better feedback through the steering and chassis. Not even Swedish gravel roads were much fun. Last but not least, what were they thinking of when putting all these panicky warnings from assistants and sensors into a fun hatch😱 … and forgetting giving the 6th gear a ratio that you can actually use on the motorways between your special stages/race tracks: this 1.6 L consumed more than my Camaro’s 6.2 L at speeds above 110 km/h (and only 98 Octane as opposed to the 95 that works for most new sports cars). It beggars belief. Anyways, I sold if after 8,000 km and less than half a year: a webuyanycar-rival paid €810 MORE than what a new one costs, so I guess I can’t complain 😊

    The answer is simple sell anything you have and buy that car. I live in Canada and I can only hope to buy one used when it’s legal in 15 years to import it to Canada. Hats off to Toyota this is the third sports car in their line up. I can only hope they continue this model and it comes to Canada
