  • Wow! I can't believe it took me this long to get into a hot hatch, and this might just be the hottest of them all. Tough to find when they first came out, they've finally become more available. Had to double check my budget, but when all the numbers didn't immediately yell at me I jumped at the opportunity to get a fantastically spry and practical daily driver. It's got the best of all worlds, and I plan on keeping this thing for a long, long time.

    To be fair, it must have been exhausting making a video every week on top of daily life. I like the new format!!

    Great video gentlemen. Your enthusiasm is infectious! Picked mine up a couple of weeks ago. What a fun daily. Good luck with the channel.

    one thing i can't stand (on almost every modern car) is that I can tell by you sitting in the passenger seat that the dash is literally up to your EYEBALLS... you can't see and enjoy any of the speed sensation of the ground rushing beneath you out of the front window. this is something modern cars have lost which is why older cars are becoming valuable. In a 1990s Celica GT four you can see above the dash and can actually feel the speed. In an MR2 you are literally sitting in front row seats on the roller coaster with a lack of a long hood you can see straight down to the action right in front of you. This sensation is irreplaceable. I wish the buraucracy of modern cars didn't get in the way. Only one ICE company I know are building cars like they were in the 90s, and that's Subaru (except the BRZ/86 which is also too many blind spots).

    You prolly already noticed but highlights are overblown. A variable ND filter would help. Either way, great content, keep it up.

    Good video review, just earned yourself a new subscriber!!
    Would you say it's comparable to a GD chassis hatchback Subaru wrx?

      Thank you!! We haven’t driven one unfortunately, but that would be an interesting comparison!

    Ok I just crashed my mk1 TT last week (I'm ok tho dw), and I guess it's time for a much needed upgrade... I mean I'll get one used, just hope the markups are reasonable

    • @manual-motion
      @manual-motion  5 місяців тому +2

      Sorry to hear that! Love a good MK1 TT. This won’t give you the 2 door convertible vibe, but it has everything else dialed in.

    So if the blue only comes with the circuit edition, what edition is this model? I was looking it up a bit but didn’t quite understand everything. I saw cores and premiums I think? Not sure if I missed any others.

    • @manual-motion
      @manual-motion  5 місяців тому

      Can’t believe we didn’t mention it, but it’s a premium haha. Basically it gets the interior from the circuit and all the options that you could get on a core.

      ​@@manual-motionMy biggest complaint about my premium is the door trim. It's so much nicer on the circuit.

    Do you get a weird vibration at like 2000 rpm while accelerating? Is it normal?

    • @manual-motion
      @manual-motion  24 дні тому

      Yeah I do, especially from the area where the dome lights are. But I think that’s just because the engine’s hitting the natural frequency of that area, probably nothing to worry about.

      I daily mine on Long Island. Just have to pay attention. Comes with the territory unfortunately. I’ve had many performance cars with low profile, which the GR really does have too much, and have only a few blown tires and one rim damaged. It’s a great ride. Good luck
