m3 to this gr is maturity. I'd be daydreaming about the m3 until I got another one but this new car is so nice. Congratulations!
Thank you! Don’t worry the Miata keeps the pain of the m3 at bay haha
Congratulations man, fellow GRC owner from Cali. I’ve had mines for over a year and it’s been so amazing. Truly a one of a kind car. My dream car as well. Enjoy it and I look forward to more videos. Once again congrats!
You look like you are doing this since 10 years. Keep it up bro, you will blow up for sure.
Really appreciate it thank you
Love this vid and your enthusiasm for the car. I'm in Australia and picking up my GR Corolla in the next couple of weeks. You have made me even more excited for it than i already was!! Thanks mate, enjoy!
I own a 2023 Corolla GR as well. I agree 100 percent what you said.
Congrats! I've been on the list here in California for over a year for a Circuit and I finally got the call last week. Should be here in two weeks!
BIG CONGRATULATIONS 🎈🍾🎊🎉 Now time too have fun 😎🏎️🏁
Congrats! Love the GRCs
Congrats Ian!! Great video
A comment from my UA-cam hero much love Paul thank you
Great car and great video dude! This channel deserves more views for sure!
thank you i really appreciate it!
so excited for the content
Just saw this in my recommendations. Congrats on the car and good luck on the channel, you have a cool personality.
Thanks so much!!
Dude congrats! The GR looks sick in red 🔥
Congrats on your car! I have a Scion iM 2016 and I love it too! 🙋♂️
Keep it up Ian! Discovered your channel because of your E36,totally loved your style of video, the raw driving footage while you talking about the car, really enjoyed watching them. It's like talking to a friend on a ride.
Thank you
Love seeing this channel grow
Thank you!
congrats man 🎉
Thank you!
Thats awesome man im happy for you! Im waiting for mine to come into the dealership. I put a deposit on a 2024 GRC Premium in ice cap white a few weeks back and it should be in the next week or 2. I cant wait!
Amazing pick up. Congrats!
I totally hear you about taking a break from “hurr durr real driving.” I used to drive a manual ND Miata club every day and moved on to an automatic GR Supra 3.0. It’s nice not having to think and just enjoy a comfortable driving experience in a fast car.
Toyota needs to make it easier for people to buy this car at MSRP. It’s a great piece of engineering.
3 in my area at msrp. I just passed on one 500 under
Dude I don’t know how anyone into cars complains about shifting. I do it on auto pilot in regular traffic. I only think about shifting during spirited drives and even then is still almost feels like auto pilot lol.
just test drove 2 the other day and man they're so fun to drive. loved the M3 but this is the ultimate daily
Exactly
this is actually a really well done overview of the car!
Thank you I appreciate it!
Big congrats dude! I'm just waiting to pay off some more of my student debt to make the move on a GRC
You got it
Beautiful in red!
God I want one so bad. Congratulations bro
Get my 24 loaded core in red in a month and I’m hypedddd
sick man congrats.
here in cali its sunny every day so we don't need the awd which is why we have such a huge civic and type r culture here.
i think i only seen 3 or 4 gr corollas so far.
Nice dude I’m hoping to get a Circuit this year
I just placed my order for my GR Corolla and it's the same as yours!
congratz man I gotta wait 2 months before I can get mine
Thank you, don’t worry it’s well worth the wait
How could a car that’s been out for a year be your “dream car”🤔
I have a Corolla too theyre so epic its like gokarts
So epic
Congrats! Sold my Corolla hatch for a WRX but that was before they announced the GR. I don't regret it as my next car will probably be an Evo or GTR32 or 33.
Thank you! Evo X is a dream. I looked at an r32 gtst but I think they are still overpriced -I wasn’t even looking gtr either which is more worth the price
congrats! I'd love to have a GR corolla next to my 94 miata one day
it is honestly the perfect combo in my opinion, grc is still raw but very practical and forgiving where the miata is just pure joy and a great release from the daily comforts
I have the 24 GRC. It is a great car!
And making plans to mod it some also!
Congrats 🎉 lovely car and I loveeeee Red ones 🚗🚘 I own a Stage 2 M340i.... but damn GR is killing it at the moment, such great cars..... I've got an itch for one!!! 😂❤ cheers Don, Perth Australia (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)
Thank you so much my guy! Will have more gr Corolla content for you all who won’t see them on the roads
They are the best street fighter cars - the traction and nimbleness make this just about untouchable in the mountains and suburbs. Enjoy the hustle and fun🤘🤘💪
Hell yeah
Dope ass ride! congrats man. i wish my 3 cylinder made 300hp (cries in base 3 cyl mini cooper with 134hp)
dont worry together we make 434hp and with 6 cylinders thats something big haha
@@Ian-yt someone should definitely totally try to combine the gr corollas engine and the b38 engine in my car. new 2jz
FYI if you want to record the exhaust sound proper, disable traction control fully by holding down the traction control button for a few seconds until "expert mode" light goes off. Then you can bounce off the rev limiter while in neutral.
Thanks for the tip! Haven’t gotten to redline yet waiting until after break in, will put this to good use soon though !
Good video! I wish I could afford one, my dream daily too. Perfect daily IMO, but i can't justify 40k for car lol.
Have to agree with you about the clutch, I've heeled toed for a long time (i find this car a bit strange to do it with peddle placement) and I could see why some people might be prematurely burning up clutches. I make sure to go all the way in and out smoothly as that last little bit is tricky/feels different to any other manual I have driven. Also agree on the iMT, I like manuals but using it as a DD i think it is a great option to have a manual but not feel like I am racing on track just to get around town. Personally I think you hit most points, it is still an econobox hatchback and it feels like that, though I think the seats could be better bolstered.
Looks great in red!!! Would like to see a more extravagant interior, like in my FK8 Type R.
I agree, I was debating throwing in some aftermarket seats with some stitching and color but these seats are actually super nice so I gotta find color to add in other places
@@Ian-yt yeah the shape of the seats looks great, it just needs other colors to make them more stylish.
Keep enjoying your car 💪🏻
Great video, pure joy. I have a focus ST here in Melrose that is probably slower than your new toy! But is almost as good a deal maybe better if you don’t need the Awd (and there’s always the RS). But, not a Toyota.. my engine already needed a new piston once 😂
Hope the new piston treats you well haha
Congratulations.
Waiting for your opinion on the Core cloth seats. Everyone tracking the GR Corolla says that the Suede seats, Premium Edition and Circuit Edition work better.
Sweet ride ian. Hope to see you on the mass roads 😂
Ill be at some larz anderson cars and coffees as well this summer!
@@Ian-yt awesome hope to see you there dude!
I have an E46 M3 that I’m contemplating trading for a Gr Corolla circuit.
Car looks great! but can it run Crysis?
I haven't gotten one of these yet, but seeing 7:39 is really interesting to me. Putting in that module sounds great for a daily driver. Also as a canadian who will likely get a core that doesn't have the heated steering wheel, im very interested to see that your 7:39 video seems to show all the wiring for a switch is there just no relay and button. Thus I see potential hope that with just those it might work. Otherwise the car might require the clock spring and wheel with the heating element. But very promising to see what looks like complete wiring there.
I saw on the grcorollaforum that you can order the heated wheel oem but no one was sure if they had successfully installed it. I’m also curious
@@Ian-yt yeah I first found out it may be possible from the same forum post. I also haven't seen anyone post about trying it. very curious
@@Ian-yt there is now updates to that forum post that does confirm that retrofitting is possible on canadian core models, as they have the full cold weather wiring harness. it seems like you can also retrofit it to US cars if they have the tech package, as they also get the full harness. if you don't have that package it seems like the wiring is missing and you are not able to unless you buy and replace the entire harness for 1300$+, and noone has attempted that as far as I can see
@@TheAphtar thanks for the update! definitely hope the entire package and installation becomes easier by this next winter
I have the Gr circuit. in Blue its my dream 2
Could you please explain how you installed the iMT mod to keep it enabled? Thank you
I’m not having clutch issues as much as when on a hill I can put my foot to the floor and the rpms have a noticeable delay between idle and 1200rpm. I’ve stalled this car 3 times so far from moving my car out front of my house to my driveway (both are inclines). Strangely enough I haven’t stalled the car out driving around when I’m stopped at a light on an incline. I know the hill assist holds you in place, but idk if the IMT is doing something weird with the throttle when I’m starting on an incline. The way I’ve been combating this is just giving the car extra revs before taking off but it’s definitely odd and I can’t explain that hesitation on steep inclines.
I’ve been driving standard transmission vehicles for 15 years now and starting on inclines hasn’t been an issue since I was first driving. It really seems to be a throttle response issue and my car only has 300ish miles so far.
I have had 0 problems with the car during any other driving situation and the car has been everything I’ve wanted.
on hills with IMT on i still use throttle as if IMT wasnt on, I push the break in hard before so it holds on the hill too. definitely a weird thing of this car
I just sold my wrx sti and I'm buying a GR I was gonna buy a new wrx but this GR is beautiful
Awsome Video. I think u made a great choice with this car. I'm curious if you would have preferred to buy the GR Yaris if it were available in the USA? Btw. greeting from Germany
I honestly don't think I would have been able to consider the Yaris. This is my second car to the miata and I really needed to purchase a more life-proof vehicle with 4 seats and a hatch. Absolutely love the yaris though I wish we had it here in the states -I love the hot version eps with it and the australian youtube vids are crazy
@@Ian-yt I wish we got the GR Corolla in the UK, the Yaris isn't practical enough over the GR86 to make it worth it imo
what does it mean if a check engine lights comes on in my 2015 nissan altima?
?
damn, 39k aint bad for a little nugget of a turbo awd manual sedan!!! probably one of the few modern cars that won't depreciate much of all! word of advice, i know its an unpopular opinion but at your age you need to be a lot smarter with money than someone thats got some years and income under their belt, KEEP IT STOCK!!! Other than wheels/tires/pads/fluids and maybe a catback don't jeopardize your warranty! Toyota has been giving people shit about the RTV issues on the 86, they would love to void a warranty on a car like this without hesitation. and yes i understand the magnuson-moss law, just dont risk it!
Haha don’t worry I dump my money into the Miata -I appreciate the words of caution
what dealer did you get this at? I'm in Albany and NYC area looking to get one in the future
New country Toyota, saw it incoming and called to confirm and they sell at msrp and gave me a better financing apr
Congrats! It's different to the yaris? Greetings from Argentina!
Got 2 seats in the back and a little more weight and little more power, appreciate the comment -spent a summer in Bella vista for school love argentina
You should organize some car meetups yourself. Grow your channel getting to know others around you
i will be having some stuff this summer!
Can you get decent mileage if you stay out of BOOST?
My mileage over 390 miles is 25mpg, I haven’t once gone full throttle or over 5500 rpm, I’ve noticed boost only kicks in with a decent amount of throttle. If you just drive calmly it stays out of boost and gets high 20s and I’ll get 30-32 on highway
What was your interest rate?
I can't take this car seriously. It has wheel spacers from factory. Toyota should have spent the money to bring the GR Yaris to the states.
What dash cam did you go with?
Viofo a129, linked in description!
Thanks and congrats on getting your GR
@@Ian-ytGreat choice Ive been using the Viofo for a long time.
@@nickypettinato thank you!
@@SeudXe hell yeah hard wire kit install was nice and easy too, loving it so far
i also dont understand the rev match sticklers, do you really need to prove it to yourself LOL. i daily a 24' FL5 Type R and the rev matching is truly magic, it is unreal how well it works.
As I said I only can compare it to Porsche, but Porsche’s version is 10x faster and cleaner lol
@@Ian-yt same thing the CTR boys say, next best is a porsche but that isnt under 50k haha
Just letting you know that lane assist and acc cruise control will make you a worse driver over time
I went into a car with no assist and I was swerving like I was drunk lol
My commute doesn’t include highway or anything so I’ll rarely be using it either way. It’s dope tho
@@Ian-yt its a dope feature cause u put minimal effort into driving..
MK8 Golf R would have been the better option
How you think? Don’t really see them as being that comparable with pricing and what they deliver tbh
@@Ian-yt Far nicer interior, a lot faster, more room, better fuel economy, better performance mod for mod, far better dual clutch trans, same cost.
@@BryceCzirr-jz7juit’s a manual. Case closed. Thanks for playing.
3 cylinder 😢
Bro what the fuk you doing in three weeks !!
We want a drive video...
Aha I gotchu don’t worry -life’a getting in the way but content coming soon
@@Ian-yt
We wait for it 🔥
Did you actually buy it or did you just finance it? They are two very different things.
Purchased with financing -not a lease
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How tf is this a dream daily driver when this car came out last year. I just want to call out people bs.
Nice car btw.
There can be a product you've dreamed of that doesn't exist yet. Someone who wanted a turbo AWD hatch back could consider this the dream car they have been waiting for. And the amount of time a car has been out has nothing to do with how much you want it lol
Drooled over the Yaris for years at this point wishing we got a manual turbo hatch from Toyota it’s pretty sweet
So do you like the car? Don't hold back.
Yes, more thoughts to come next week as well
to bad it bets crap mileage for the segment
How is that a good dream
I believe God has a plan for you, young one…
mike drain your bank account we need to go to 711 to get lottery tickets
You're unemployed, have multiple cars, and have a 40+k car? Ridiculous.
are you his accountant
lol who is giving you this info or are you just speculating out of jealousy?
@@richurro202:25 2:53
@@richurro20He stated he was unemployed and financed his car with just a down payment Lmao, which means he really can’t afford it. Did you even watch the video?
@@BadMannerKorea yolo
I would have gotten one. But that engine is too small and already stressed out. Small engines are hard to cool due to lack of oil capacity. And the clutch pack overheating is also another reason I didn’t pursue getting one. Hopefully it serves you well bro.
Congrats!! Just picked up mine as well! Great to see the 1.6L 3 cylinder engine being put to good use in the WRC Rally2 class ua-cam.com/video/tIP6beI-GTU/v-deo.html
