Toyota GR Corolla | The Purest Hot Hatch? | REVIEW

We review a 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Core with Performance Package!
Back in 2020, Toyota shocked the world by reviling the GR Yaris - a subcompact hot hatch, with a 268-hp engine, all-wheel-drive, and what’s most important in this day and age, a 6-speed manual transmission. Enthusiasts all over the world started raging about it, and those in the United States were wondering - are we gonna get one here? The answer was no, but instead we got a hardcore variant of a Corolla - the GR Corolla.
Other cars to consider are VW Golf R, Subaru WRX, Honda Civic Type R.

What do you think about the Toyota GR Corolla? Do you like the hatch body style? Would you pick it over a Subaru WRX, Honda Civic Type R, or a Hyundai Elantra N? Let me know!

This is amazing to see. It also would be cool to see the wagon version but I'm glad it's a hatch not a sedan

Toyota just added an 8-speed automatic to the GR Yaris. Wonder if they will add it to Corolla. But 6-speed manual is the way to go.

They probably definitely will, 90% of americans would prefer an automatic. They would sell this car like hotcakes once it becomes auto. I love manual and have a manual GR, but unfortunately an auto would sell better in the USA.

This car is great car but these greedy dealers mark ups is ridiculous you don’t see that many on the street cause ppl not spending 60 to 70k for this the ELANTRA N I feel is a all around better car only thing the GR has on it is it 4w drive system that’s it The N is faster and handles better
