- Not a car that would be normally associated with racing pedigree, The GR Yaris is surprisingly agile and fun.

Bought mine two weeks ago. Amazing car.
You are lucky bastard
Had mine two years, it is bloody brilliant !!!
you lucky bastard! :)
Me too , 8500 Kms on it now
How many gearboxes have you broken ?
@@hondamanvtec2894 13,000 miles so far and on original gearbox with zero signs of issues
@HondaMan Vtec been working for toyota for 3 years, never seen one with a broken gearbox, only rear diff noise
In 1999 the Toyota Corolla WRC also became world champion after the Celica GT4 in the early 90s
Had mine a couple of years. Not a car for a commute through Central London, but if you live in the boonies where you're on wet, twisty, pot hole laden B roads most of the time
We need to say Thank you Toyota❤️ for passion of driving
Incidentally, due to Covid, WRC didn't happen for that year, but in the AP rally series, it came 1st and 2nd in every single race. The evolution (mild hybrid due to new regs) was also 1st and 2nd at Monaco. Mad little beast. I tested the Merc, Hyundai N, Civic and Fords back when, but the GR was my choice. Ordered before the media hype hit and my test drive while waiting for delivery sealed the deal.
i know someone online who went to school with Rovenpera lmao. He got special discompensation at 17 to get his licence.
love mine. best car ive ever owned. i link the old video whenever someone asks about it. it goes under the radar of most people.
Brilliant video!!! Bravo!
Spectacular car and a brilliant video. Well done Toyota and Top Gear
Spectacular car and a brilliant video
Nicely done.
I'll be looking at and test driving one this coming weekend, 🤞 it's as good as everyone says.
Where is the celica GT4 the grandfather to the GR Yaris it’s not the first Toyota homologation special totally forgot the original
nobody said it was the first
Multiple ones, my dad had the GT4 Carlos Sainz.
The GR is top of the notch. - A future "dream of a car" if this will still matter in the future... :)
How proud/lucky I am to own one of these...
めっちゃ豪華🥹
言葉は分からないけど すごくいい動画でした😊
Brilliant car. Great review.
Chris Harris is so good
I want this to be the first car I buy 🤩🤩🤩
Matte black everything, with amazing spoilers and specd with a beefy sound
Get a 100ish HP front wheel drive shitbox. Something light and manual. Or a Miata/MX5. Trust me.
@@thisguydud3 with amazing Spoilers
🤣
My first car was a Mk2 Escort RS. insurance for young drivers was less punishing back then though. Trust me, buy a shit box - you're less likely to lose your license, won't be bothered by door dinks and the like, and may even learn a bit of basic car repair, especially if you have somewhere local with garage space that will show you the ropes.
This car is a dream 😍
Wow great steering boss
Epic!!!
Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
Epic Yatis video! Couldn't do much better
Beautiful❤️❤️❤️
Loving my gr corolla
GR Yaris is a true homologation special, WRC Championship car and a Modern classic! Whoever can own one is very lucky!
As an added bonus to how great the GR Yaris is, you can sell it to some gulluble American in 25 years for the same price or more than what you bought it for when it was brand new, lol.
Cant put a price tag on a great homologation car. The Yaris holds its own very good against the competition. Just look at it in the WRC these days.
I'm getting the funds together as quickly as possible to get one while they're still around rrp. You can't compare it with anything from the last 30 years, even with other homologation specials it's one of the most extreme ones, with almost nothing in common with the regular Yaris. Built to race from scratch rather than a modified version of the regular one.
They're under appreciated at the moment especially as they are so easily mistaken for the hybrid gr sport, but still holding their money.
Along with my GT3 touring , best car I’ve owned…….
Hey Rob, I've heard that the suspension is very composed and the gearbox is awesome. Some journalists compare these GR components to a GT3. What are your thoughts?
This is the 10th time I've watched this.
Top 🤩 Gr
Going to get the type R but this is a dream car.
I'd rather have the Yaris than a Ferrari.
Imagine that.
It sounds crazy, but yes me too
Looks like the same review as the Focus RS 😂
we are talking about rally, not subaru mentions???
You forgot to mention the Toyota Celica.
I can't believe that Impreza has been missed out
We get hated on regularly now thanks to Subaru poor decisions these days 😢.
They can't bring up each model. I am impressed that they had all of the shown ones.
Shut up and take my money!
crowned by Chris
not sure if toyota paid for this video. If so this is the greatest commercial ads i have seen for years
They didnt. Chris Harris is as honest as they come in the car reviewing industry, if there is one man you can always count on being honest (and at times he`s even been too honestfor some brands) its Harris.
Grrryaris the best
Not sure why he is complaining about the price, 8,000 miles later and worth £4k more than list, free motoring
What a Content. Love it. There was no VW Golf GTI manual mentioned as a Competition though.
Because it's not
Golf Gti’s are boring that’s why! No comparison.
The car does everything well, it accelerates, brakes and turns great, the issue is that it has a lot of grip in the sensations, it seems like it is going on rails and that takes away from the fun, plus the sound of the engine amplified by the speakers sounds very artificial, as if It was an appliance, and the exhausts are as if silenced. In 2022, they took me for a ride in a pearl black one, with the circuit pack and the aerodynamic kid that cost about five thousand dollars more, we were going almost flat out and I thought it was going to leave me speechless but the truth is which was not the case, only a downshift to third and a great thrust of its engine made my head almost touch the windshield, it was what impressed me the most along with its great braking power, but based on comments I expected much more from this car . There are some journalists who think the same as me, but well I think there are two realities, the car that gives you sensations and the one that makes the best times, the Yaris is part of the latter's club. When you get in it feels too cheap and its plastics leave a lot to be desired, they look like a VW Gol Trend from before and all this makes it feel like a "vitaminized little stroller" but not of class.- If you buy it for A safe circuit is great, but if you buy it as a touring car to make a “facha”, as they say in Argentina, it is not so good because it is small, uncomfortable and uses too much gas like a Mustang, according to what I saw in a video from a private individual. from Spain that has the Yaris and compares the consumption with the Muscle Car. Although the suspension is softer than a Megane 3 Rs 265, it is still hard, and it copies every small imperfection of the asphalt in the city. In conclusion, for its price it offers a lot, but it is not the car that you say drives me crazy, neither for its design (although its nose is very rally), nor for its sound, nor for the quality of materials, what makes it precious is the intervention in its development of the quadruple WRC world champion, the Finnish Tommi Mäkinen, which ensures that this vehicle is precise and efficient when it comes to rolling on the track, on a track day, even surpassing other higher priced cars.
TOYOTA 🏁❤️👍🏻
Sound used in this video is not the real GR yaris sound!
Why can't this come to America:(((((((
u got corolla now XD
@blip_qild Yep, we do, and it's got uprated 300hp engine but it is heavier and bigger. I'd still pick the GR Yaris instead of Corolla. Plus, I just watched a track test video of a GR Corolla where the engine oil was 240+ degrees and the 4wd system overheated and switched to 2wd - on a cold day - not looking good.
You get the the bigger, more powerful but heavier version. Unlucky
@@portland573 It really is unlucky
Toyota...... good 👍👍👍👍
Car
Why the fake Sound ???🤣
As great as it is I won't be getting one as the wife wouldn't be caught dead in a Yaris
Mine neither, so I’m buying one…….me time with the mountains 🤘🤘
Celica gt4
Subaru impreza
Best video on top gear since downfall. Downfall is desperation…to post this video 2nd time like a 3rd world ghetto TikTok reel
€60k+ in little old Ireland! So don't be complaining 🇮🇪😭
A35
4:22 3 cyl. engine from Koenigsegg has 600 hp
Gemera wasn't in production yet
@@rainregn996 Yes, but the engine exists now and we are talking about engine, not car. Of course, this is nitpicking a bit, but it would be good to stick to the facts.
i20N/i30N? Also, Yaris interested buyers in US, RIP.
The yaris its in another level 😉
GR Corolla for the US
@@YakuzaR35 GR Corolla is a nice ride but I like the smaller Yaris more lol.
Do you really think the 33 grand are too much for this missile?
Or buy a used Aston Martin stick shift v12 convertible. hmm.
No scooby shame on you Christopher
Fiesta st 🤣🤣🤣🤮
What is he talking about, AMG is double the price?
Imagine a new version of top gear...Chris Harris with decent motoring journalists an not the two tw@'s...
Would be cool if they can also make it with the next gen solid battery.
Ohh dont cry about 35000£ in finland it costs 55000€
Too much expensive for this 💨💨💨💨Toyota 🤣🎬💨💨🎞💨💨💨shame on Chris for this 🎞💨💨🎬💨💨💨toyoDa💨💨💨🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great car for sure - but overhyped.
Sadly, everyone I see driving them drives like an old lady! Here in Australia at least
That’s because our road rules & laws are laughable compared to the rest of the world, we are the biggest nanny state when it comes to driving, our road speed limits are from the 50s, our highest speed limit on the main highway/freeway roads is limited to 110 km/h, we have Mobile speed cameras almost on every street now, we have red light & speed cameras almost on every traffic light, we have highway patrol hiding in bushes & in blind view spots to catch anyone speeding, it is such a Nazi speeding/driving fine regime we have here.
We are a joke compared to other first world nations in Europe & North America.
Most highways in France, Italy & so forth are capped at 140km/h & Germany as we know has the Autobahn.
No way. I saw so many on track in Brisbane. Myself included.
@@Inalielsa not on the race track dude, every day on the M1 etc....
You tried to portray Toyota as pedestrian.
Hello - you’re unaware of Lexus legacy and benchmark?
Lexus IS Toyota
Catch up please 👍🏼
Isn't it the gemera that has the most powerful three cylinder engine?!? Produces 600hp..
Yes,and it hasnt been sold yet(or has it?);even then it does not really count,bcs production numbers.
@@flummi6966 so supercars and hypercars aren't production cars?!? Come back in a few years once you're old enough to buy alcohol kid..
It will be, when it gets produced. Which won’t be for a while.
@@swihet16 Cheers, i wouldnt call a hundred handmade units production,but i am too lazy to translate my thoughts now.
Type r is 37 to 40 k so that's wrong
Mercadrs amg is near 40
And how can you compare a fiesta st to a gr yaris your mad
It's just another typical paid for promotion video.
I looked at buying one, it might do 'some' things well, but as a daily driver it would be horrible.
Cheap nasty interior, cramped, no boot, and it still isn't anywhere near as fast on most roads as dozens of other hot hatches.
Think I'll keep my tuned M140i for a bit longer.
@Nik Gnashers still jealous niknak - fact is you cannot afford one! Told you before and I'll tell you again, itl would smash a 140, all day, any day
@Nik Gnashers and nobody would daily a GR, its a 2nd/3rd/4th car for most owners. Why is it that you cannot afford more than 1 car niknak?
I'd rather take the GR Supra
the supra is also ALOT more expensive, they are not comparable...
and A LOT heavier and not the same type of car at all
@@nicolasdelabassetiere8829 GR Corolla
The name yaris should be dropped. Call it the GR
Toyota have about 20 cars now with a GR badge on them...even the damn Toybaru
The looks of the Yaris ruin it for me, the GR Corolla looks much better. The rear end on the Yaris looks like it has ass tumors, just ungainly looking.
Looks garbage though
Had mine 18mths...it Broke...I sold it...Honestly though, I don't know what all the hype was about, it really and honestly IS NOT worth the money or all that good...no where near it
WAY overpriced 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
Bring back the 3 amigos Jeremy, to begin with.
Amazon didn't even want Jeremy anymore
dude its been like 10 years. Get over it.
Unfortunately without the previous hosts trio , the show has lost it appeal . It isnt half of what it used to be
Carlton football club Australia not soccer Australian rules. Please make them your team,go blue boys
Personal think the gr Yaris is overrated. I’ve had more fun in older hot hatches.
what 4 wheel drive old school hot hatch did you have more fun with?
Yaris GR is a rubbish car. I was one of the first to preorder, but cancelled following two test drives. Restricted view and wobbly suspension plus impotent engine noise. GR86 which. I own now, is way better and much more rare.
GR86 is so much better than the old 86, but can't agree it's rubbish. A euro6 turbo is always going to be quiet with stock exhaust.
Owned one, and no I do not regret selling it:
1) amg a35 is way better (materials, HP, look)
2) space
3) noise (not sound, literally noise coming from the exhaust)
Not the car for you obviously. Apart of the noise, which can be easily sorted with aftermarket, nobody who buys one of these thinks about that. And going at 100% I'm pretty sure the Yaris is better. It's made for that. A35 is made for going at pace with comfort at 80%. Not a drivers car the A35.
Didn't buy mine for quality interior, or space. Swapped exhaust with Milltek within the first 2 weeks of owning one.
Loving it, and wouldn't trade if for an A35 or A45 for that matter.
Always wanted an A35, was a dream car that I could afford to buy. I finally had the money and was going to buy one but ended up buying a GR Yaris. Who knew!
My 5cyl Audi is quicker than this POS and a fraction of the cost, what’s the hype, people forget that it’s an old persons Yaris which an awful body kit 😂
TT?
@@lewishamilton9251 URS6
Your Audi would break down driving to the track 😂
@@user-fh2cw9mi5y I didnt know that was a rally homologation special
@@DavidBrown-bs7gg it’s not, what’s your point? Is the AMG? Is the Honda?
👍
Brilliant car. Great review.
