To clarify, if it was my second car i'd take the GR over the Type-S. Mostly because I'd feel better beating it up in the snow and ice over the winter. If it's one car only... I'd stick with the Type-S. What would you guys drive?!
For me I’d take the GR in the Circuit Edition. I live in the south east so snow isn’t a thing down here😎. I love autocross and road racing so once there’s a solid solution for the rear differential overheating I’ll be set. Plus I’m on a bunch of waiting lists for Circuit Edition so I’m biased lol. Type S looks awesome though so either way it’s a good choice.
@@madmyro Go for it. It's overall the better car. Your wife or girlfriend will also like it and if you have little ones, if will fit them I all fine. While still looking pretty. How much are they asking? Above MSRP?
Not just turbo but unelectrified or possibly even with any internal combustion engine at all. Toyota also made many naturally aspirated hot hatches with the craziest probably being the Blade Master, a Corolla with the 2GR 3.5L V6 (it had a 5-speed auto or something like that but an almost 300 hp V6 in a hatchback is pretty wild).
Not to mention, here in Australia powertune pulled 700hp on a standard engine, on a Yaris, but same engine, so that 3 cylinder engine, is just amasing, and time will only tell, and hope you going to review soon a tuned corolla, like mildly tuned 500HP one, just to see you drive and smile😊
Great review as always bro. Such a cool car, and the engine is a marvel. it’s crazy with all the hybridization and ev-everything that’s going on with manufacturers today that they were able to make this. I would be curious to see if this engine finds its way into a future model of the Gr86
Cheers for honestly sharing that the DE5 Type S might be what you settle with as your singular enthusiast car. Suprised you didn't pair up the more rawer Type R to the GR Corolla instead of the softer Type S
Bought mine in Premium right before the new year! Love the heck out of it, gonna hold onto it until the day it dies - hopefully a long, long time from now!
You CAN get heated seats and steering wheel on Core with the cold weather package, and you can get wireless charger with technology package (though it is terrible)
This must've only been for the 2023 model year. Currently you're unable to spec a wireless charger or heated seats+steering wheel for the 2024 model in both Canada and the US.
It's "limited" production but only in the micro sense. In the macro over the next few years (however long they keep building it), they'll be building as many as people want to buy. It's not a set number. Only the Circuit and Morizo editions are limited to a set number per year. What manufacturers love to do though is kind of squeeze the demand and not build any more than the people want.
@@RoadsUntraveledthey definitely didn’t meet expected build numbers this year but hopefully 24 there will be more. Its an amazing car and will not be trading for a 24 simply because i don’t want to deal with parking sensors
@joek1353 paint issues is the least of worries for any Canadian shelling $40K on a car. They just aren't attainable to afford to most canadian car enthusiasts. That's the uncomfortable truth
Not claiming anything! Just saying it might be. Toyota seems focused on electrifying their fun, sporty cars and the FT-Se concept is a perfect example of that.
When looking at AWD, sure. The WRX is way down on power compared to the GR, Type-S, and Golf R. It's much closer in price and power to the GTI. Now if the STi still existed... that would be a different story.
NO! GR Yaris is KING - Because lower weight (1280 kg). Carbon roof standard all GR Yairs models. Cool frameless 2 doors style. More true to it's Ralley inheritance than the Corolla - Yes, backseat useless, but who want's to ad extra kilos to your car when having fun? (having 2 more farting humans than nessesary in the car?) 🤣🤣🤣🤣PS, 2024 Yaris model will get the 300HP now in the Corolla (not that it need it...)

@@1anre I’m steering towards it lol. It’s too hard to get a GRC Circuit but I can find Type Rs easlily🤷🏽♂️

GR all day
Got mine over 8 months ago and I love mine

After the RTV issue that's been plaguing the GR86, Toyota will quietly drop the subaru boxer for the 1.6l 3-pot GR engine
I been loving my gr corolla And the main reason I gotta is because. It's an actual toyota not a Subaru or BMW and it's not A hybrid or ev
LOVE my GR Corolla bc it’s fast, awd, turbo, stick, and a true hot hatch 👍🏼
Woah those key tags are so cool! Now I just need to find a way to get my hands on an IS 500 so I can rock that 2UR-GSE tag😂😭
Cheers for honestly sharing that the DE5 Type S might be what you settle with as your singular enthusiast car.
Suprised you didn't pair up the more rawer Type R to the GR Corolla instead of the softer Type S
Simply because I haven't driven the Type-R. If I lived somewhere that got a lot more snow in the winter than Vancouver, I'd take the GR

2:01 Mate, the FR-S has left us long ago.😂
I think he meant GR86
Love the whoosh when I come off the throttle. Clutch is tough, but get use to it.
GR all day everyday
Really like these Gr Corollas. Just not sold on the Looks of it 😕
Waiting for so long😂
The Yaris GR is pretty cool too

Oh interesting, I didn’t realize that changed. I stand corrected. My 2023 Core has both packages.
Can you get same on the Type R in Canada?

Sad that it was limited production so it was first come first serve so not many will ever get to enjoy this car

@@RoadsUntraveledthat’s not entirely true. We only got 3900 for 2023 even though they said they were gonna make more. These cars are hand built.
@@RoadsUntraveledthey definitely didn’t meet expected build numbers this year but hopefully 24 there will be more. Its an amazing car and will not be trading for a 24 simply because i don’t want to deal with parking sensors
There's a bunch of them at dealers now, and they seem to have trouble moving them... firstly, paint issues and 40k+ is a little steep
@joek1353 paint issues is the least of worries for any Canadian shelling $40K on a car.
They just aren't attainable to afford to most canadian car enthusiasts. That's the uncomfortable truth
Currently there's a lot of paint issues with this car. For being 40k+ is kind of steep..
Where??? If your living in Narnia I'll believe it 😂
Oh my God look at all the panic juice they sprayed all over the road. I can hear that thing starting to rust from my house.
I'm going to exclusively use the phrase "panic juice" from now on.
They need a DCT for the wife 😢😢😢😢
I'm sure they'll bless you guys with an EV hot hatch with "paddle shifters" at some point haha
“This is the only GR that is authentically Japanese” even though Subaru is Japanese. Embarrassing.
Yeah I didn't get that across right haha. Authentically Toyota. The only GR we get here that's fully-realized within the brand.
@@RoadsUntraveled haha. I knew what you meant. Just giving you a hard time, brother 😂
So you CLAIMING FACTS that this might be LAST???
Not claiming anything! Just saying it might be. Toyota seems focused on electrifying their fun, sporty cars and the FT-Se concept is a perfect example of that.
Wouldn’t the WRX make more sense as a competitor as opposed to the Integra type S?
When looking at AWD, sure. The WRX is way down on power compared to the GR, Type-S, and Golf R. It's much closer in price and power to the GTI.
Now if the STi still existed... that would be a different story.

no yaris in the states mate
I know, I know, I know 😘@@tinhinnh
I promise you, we'll be importing the Yaris by the boatload when they're legal in Canada 15 years from now.

Hopefully it comes in an automatic transmission.😕🙂🤓🤠😎😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸
