All the GR Yaris reviews absolutely laud this car. 4 wheel drive, modern engine and all the attributes required in a compact and subtlish package. The 996 was never my favourite. But in the world we're living in today I would get one in a heartbeat. My comment is 4 months late. Have you gotten one?

Not sure it will. In baring in mind in most countries petrol cars are going to be banned by 2030 (first hand market) so there will be no desire for them. 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. I also predict not many of these will actually sell. People said the hyundai I30n would sell but when have you seen one of them on the road? Ultimately this basically is the same price as a golf gti but not as refined or user friendly
Not true, Mk8 GTI, Civic Type R, Megane RS, Focus ST, i30N, all are available with manuals. Also, Hyundai just launched an i20N, manual as well. 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. No worries of reaching the speed limit in 2nd gear.
@@haid1449 Golf R. Subaru WRX. Both cars are out of the league of this insulting nonsense that Toyota has tendered after what, 25 years of nothing exciting. This is not a car for the enthusiasts, it's made for limited power output Rallying with weight reduction in mind; and of course for the average person who wants a little pep for a limited time, because as you know, no 3 cylinder performance car lives to tell the tale. At least they could have used the 4AGE 20V with a turbo. Anyway, nothing can save you from the ugly design, not even teh 4AGE's great performance and durability.
"What's my final verdict... if you want a pure drivers car that's absolutely brilliant and very unique in this day and age, go right ahead and buy it" You should definitely take your own advice Matt. Buy it!
It’s so good to see Toyota making cars they can be proud of again. The 90s heydays will never be replicated, but this is a step in the right direction. Top review mate.
Gt86, supra and now this. Toyota is going back to the golden era of japanese sports cars. (Ok, the supra can be a little disappointing because "iT's A BmW" and it doesn't come with a manual, and the design is a bit off, but it is a lot better than the a90 and it's a true and fast sports car.)
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 😊
Buy it. This gr Yaris is a wrc car. Its the most talked about car in Japan right now. It's Tommy makinen blessed car. It's the most popular car right now. Ur Porsche has none of that.
Am currently in the process of convincing the Mrs that she needs this car in her life! I've just bought an FK8 Type R, what a 2 car garage that would be!
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
I always looked at those normal Yaris here in Hawaii as little chihuahuas. Now, I look at them as Underdogs of the TOYOTA MARKET, along with the new GR Corolla. Big improvements.
Really hope they do a Corolla GR with a bigger boot and 5 doors for those of us with car seats and stuff to move around - be a genuine consideration vs a Megane RS/Focus ST/I30 N.
Isn't this the coolest car built at current times? If I had 100 grand I would definitely go to the Toyota dealership to get this beauty and have spare money for the current fuel prices to totally drive it till the end of its life

Has Toyota rediscovered the art of making-economy-cars-into-sports-cars, that their Subaru partner has built its rally reputation on!?
This is one of the coolest cars in the past 10 years you should totally get one
Corona virus has only been around since March 2020, where have you been the last 10 years?
Yeah it really is, add a roll cage and some off road suspension n tires and my wanna be rally driver dream is a reality haha

Thanks Toyota for finally giving us a no non-sense, simple, focussed hot hatch !! Would love to be in the position to buy one =D
15:52 YES, and become the first person in history to swap a 911 for a Toyota Yaris 😂😂

Toyota Yaris best car of the year.
Crazy times, ending on a high ...
I love the dials. Old school Toyota analog dial with a thick orange/red dial that glows in the night. Hits me right in the feels.
The only reason I bought the regular Yaris over this is the petrol cap positioning is slightly better!
At least that’s what the dealer reckoned.

Exactly! I didn’t find this FUNNY at all. I’m sorry but what happened to pride? Dignity? Being the Best you can be? This shows Arrogance, Undignified, Stupidity.
For the first time in my life, I actually want a Yaris. I mean I like want WANT a Yaris. This car is so awesome, that kind of power in a small, 4wd hatchback? Straight pipe that exhaust and sign me up!
Add the reliability to it.
So rare and most people wouldn't even know what you were driving!
Ditto!
@@ethanrahn6710 ya they'd just think you're driving and normal brand new Yaris
@@Snotroggel453 Reliability isn't just inherent to Toyota you nimrod.
All the GR Yaris reviews absolutely laud this car. 4 wheel drive, modern engine and all the attributes required in a compact and subtlish package. The 996 was never my favourite. But in the world we're living in today I would get one in a heartbeat. My comment is 4 months late. Have you gotten one?
Do it. I love the little beasts. I have the last gen Yaris ZR, and although its nothing on the GR, its bags of fun.
Nowadays people when they see yaris on the road:
Is that a YARIS?!!
I’ve always been saying that just because I’ve always had a soft spot for the cute tiny design they have 🤣
Fun fact: This Yaris is more Toyota than the new Supra.
Thanks Sherlock
Its pretty much a Z4 that got a boob job and a nose job, plus some botox and it married a Japanese guy
@@ryadhasanahmed5443 I drew muhammed as a token of gratitude of your comment for you.
@@umarsajid5075 you mean it's a love child between the mk4 supra and the Z4, one night they decided to hang out with each other then the mk4 supra proposed to the Z4 then got accepted, then later on they spent some time in a private garage then out comes their weird child
@@electrikoptik 👍
I need this in my life
Never thought I’d encourage someone to ditch a Porsche in favour of a Yaris, but the heart wants what the heart wants! 👍🏻
Mat literally taking the piss with that intro
You've got to be kidding
That intro was so cringy
They surprised him
Wash hands first
@@ntobekosokhela3881 if you believe that you'll believe anything. Was scripted af
When people with money say. "Hey you only need to put 25% deposit down" like it's chicken feed...
Let's hope Mat's bank is being more cooperative when he buys a Yaris compared with when he went for that Jimny.
And so the stereotype 'Yaris is a Grandma car' dies out.
Still is and will be.
Now its with honda jazz
The GR stands for (Grandma Racing) 🤣🤣
You guys will NEVER believe what i caught the angry kid doing.... tomorrows video is INSANE!
@zulfikangga let's hope so, it is a beast of a car for the amount of power that engine puts out
Question of the day: Can you name a better small hot hatch than the GR Yaris?
We'll wait...
Skoda Fabia VRS mk1
The only thing I could compare it too would be an s1
Why were you doing that in front of the camera
Yes.......
*In next 40years I will make 8wd
Many hot hatches are better
Toyota f’s up again by keeping this gem from their largest market....the US.
No one is buying there hot hatches
I think is because of the costly crash tests.
But you can't drive manual,cant you
@@EmatesCollection I drive a 16 speed manual truck so I guess I can drive one
amount of chips on front bumper and hood tells everything, u cant take it easy with that beauty
I am genuinely going to consider buying this car. Definitely one of the last manual hot hatchbacks that will be worth a fortune in 20 years
Hmm in 20 years all cars Will have like 300hp
Not sure it will. In baring in mind in most countries petrol cars are going to be banned by 2030 (first hand market) so there will be no desire for them. 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. I also predict not many of these will actually sell. People said the hyundai I30n would sell but when have you seen one of them on the road? Ultimately this basically is the same price as a golf gti but not as refined or user friendly
@@wezelhond5572 And? Nothing whatsoever to do with BHP figures
Not true, Mk8 GTI, Civic Type R, Megane RS, Focus ST, i30N, all are available with manuals. Also, Hyundai just launched an i20N, manual as well. 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. No worries of reaching the speed limit in 2nd gear.
@@dannywhite132 Everything you said will just make it more desirable
I've never wanted a Yaris this bad
@terminal one never mind
I've never wanted a Yaris. BUT this looks appealing.
I can bet that you won't buy it at that price because there are so many better 4WD Turbo, reliable cars to choose from.
@@caribbeangtr8077 such as?
@@haid1449 Golf R. Subaru WRX. Both cars are out of the league of this insulting nonsense that Toyota has tendered after what, 25 years of nothing exciting. This is not a car for the enthusiasts, it's made for limited power output Rallying with weight reduction in mind; and of course for the average person who wants a little pep for a limited time, because as you know, no 3 cylinder performance car lives to tell the tale. At least they could have used the 4AGE 20V with a turbo. Anyway, nothing can save you from the ugly design, not even teh 4AGE's great performance and durability.
GR Yaris will tell its ancestors "your existence was not in vain".
0:18 well that was awkward 😂
"What's my final verdict... if you want a pure drivers car that's absolutely brilliant and very unique in this day and age, go right ahead and buy it"
You should definitely take your own advice Matt. Buy it!
Damn Toyota really making some cool cars these days. Praying the Celica makes some sort of come back
This basically is a new celica in all but name
If celica makes come back, it'd looks like gt86
@bossrobotdad they should just bring the mr2 back with this engine
yep Toyota made a good choice rebranding Mazda 2 as Yaris to finally have a fun and engaging vehicle to drive again. Awesome.
@@saabaton169 No it isn't.
For that specific Porsche yes, yes you should.
This car was released in Australia with 1000 units sold at almost half the price of the UK. A real bargain, and all sold within 7 days.
It’s so good to see Toyota making cars they can be proud of again. The 90s heydays will never be replicated, but this is a step in the right direction.
Top review mate.
Gt86, supra and now this. Toyota is going back to the golden era of japanese sports cars. (Ok, the supra can be a little disappointing because "iT's A BmW" and it doesn't come with a manual, and the design is a bit off, but it is a lot better than the a90 and it's a true and fast sports car.)
The spirit of the 80s/90s homologations lives on. I haven’t been this excited since the Escort Cosworth! Finally, a brand new driver’s car.
Yeah but it's not cheap though
@@UnseenSpirit It´s quite limited though
@@ARIES6181 maybe if they see the demand this car is creating they will produce more?
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 😊
Buy it. This gr Yaris is a wrc car. Its the most talked about car in Japan right now. It's Tommy makinen blessed car. It's the most popular car right now. Ur Porsche has none of that.

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
I work as a car salesman for Toyota in the north west and the amount of interest we have had over this car is unbelievable!!!!

I always looked at those normal Yaris here in Hawaii as little chihuahuas. Now, I look at them as Underdogs of the TOYOTA MARKET, along with the new GR Corolla. Big improvements.
Really hope they do a Corolla GR with a bigger boot and 5 doors for those of us with car seats and stuff to move around - be a genuine consideration vs a Megane RS/Focus ST/I30 N.
Actually, I am way more interested in the GR Yaris than in the GR Supra :D

"should I trade my Porsche for a Yaris"..... said nobody ever before

If the Porsche is a non-turbo 996 so.. i wouldn't even need the GR.. the 1.5 diesel would be more than enough...
