i understand its quieter then expected because of emision regulations but i wouldnt require much more than 10%+ of the current sound. the exhaust note is perfect i think it just needs to be bit louder and to get rid of those speakers artificially amplifying the noise.
Can we all just take a moment to acknowledge than someone somewhere decided that the Aus Yaris got both heated seats and steering wheel whilst the UK yaris got neither. We did though get a UV windscreen which incidentally the Aus variant didnt.......one job springs to mind
Bought a Rallye. Absolutely love it. Of course it has flaws but as far as I'm concerned it's an absolute bargain for the amount of effort and engineering that has gone into it. What a car!!
Enjoyable honest review👍😎 Would have loved the Rallye version however it was too much of a jump based on the introductory price offered on the non Rallye version.
Nice review I just bought the new Megane rs trophy 2021 EDC your vids are addictive after watching your Megane trophy video I actually went for a test drive and the rest is history what an amazing car but heck this Yaris looks like no slouch !!!
Megan RS is also a very nice car. Biggest difference for me is the suspension. Megan is hard, made for the circuit, GR Yaris is more suitable for dayly road circumstances
Weird that the Australian market gets the small display, JBL speakers, HUD and moving graphics in the rear cam. For the rallye pack. It looks like the comfort pack that you can't spec in other markets with the forged wheels with diffs.
Managed to get an order in for the GR Yaris Circuit Pack as someone canceled there order I am looking to picking up on the weekend. Though it would have been good to have some of the Convenience Pack features but once I start driving it all that won't matter.
Mate that was the best review of a rallye and base GR. So many reviews in Aus and over seas just like to say the base is crap like a 6/10 vs Rallye 10/10 but neither are perfect. Base just needs PS4S tyres and both need the new Mirror Riser as looking left sucks. Plus a Exhaust. So for me as a Red Base GR owner I would say it's 8/10 car vs 9/10 for Rallye. Add PS4S Tryes and 8.5/10. PS Last the feel when you are in a high gear at a low speed is spot on. Thanks I did not know that. I stopped using 4th on 40km zones as the car feels like it will YELL at me. Come on dude I'm working to hard. Last I drove Mazda RX8 and same car hates high gear at low speeds. Race car.😎
Thanks Matt. Love my GR. Time for you to go get a GR. Go full hog get a Rallye. PS I wanted a Rallye but ran out of money at the time plus Wife liked the Red. 50K we payed. Rallye 60K yeah plus will add a long ass wait or go on Carsales pay 70K. Great car but 70K hell no.
Come on Dave - it's more like 6/10 vs 9.5/10. The 2 LSD's and better suspension make a huge difference, particularly on wet twisty roads. Most Rallye owners will upgrade tyres to even better ones. The small price for the upgrade is minimal given what you get for it 😎
The instrument cluster is THE BEST - LOVE the old fashion no BS style - Yeah Baby 😘 I wish I could get the GR Yaris without that pop-up infotainment screen... so unnecessary. And nice that you can feel what the engine is doing. A real race car...
Got one of these as my first car, perfectly fine in everyway besides my car having a few rattles. Only complaint I have is the infotainment screens position doesn't look great and hinders outward visibility. Sound could be better but I don't mind it. Also, my phone has never flew out of the tray
H3ll ya I would buy the GR yaris Rallye in a NEW York minute to replace the Fiesta ST that I have owned and loved for going on 8 years❗❗❗ But since we could not get it here - I have already put a deposit on a Corolla GR Cuircuit & hope that I will actually get one. (not holding my breath though - sadly-:) THX for the video.
Wow... you still kept the original wheels in use. Many would have swapped it out for cheaper/ better ones because of how ridiculously expensive the original one is.
I've had my Rallye for 4 months and I think it's a great car but definitely not perfect. The engine has almost no low end torque and power under 3000rpm, poor visibility front and back, seating position is way too high, the 4wd system has overheated twice on me, the assists are annoying and require me to turn them off every time, the engine note sounds like a tractor on start up and there's no real engine note besides the fake sound enhanced stuff. With that said, I enjoy every drive in it and now it's strictly a weekend car. It's a brisk car but not that fast if you've had modded JDM cars before. Overall I think I'll be keeping mine for some time to come.
They will always be available but many countries will discourage people from buying them by adding high taxes. They will be classified as a luxury item.
Waiting on another review on your sangyoung chairman .I suggested earlier sign up for uber prestege or start a limo service faith you wedding a suit and top hat Il be your no 1 client as you'll be required to take to the stock exchange
I guess it depends. You want practicality sure or straight line performance, but if you want a true blue hot hatch not built on an economy car platform the GR Yaris is my pick!
How do you think the GR Yaris sounds? Is it enough?
No needs a exhaust to be perfect.
It'll never be enough compared to the Ssangyong Chairman...
I'm still waiting for a video where you give the Chairman a bit if sauce 😁
if you are only worried about sound, then you don't have much idea. Go and buy a Harley..all noise and no go.
i understand its quieter then expected because of emision regulations but i wouldnt require much more than 10%+ of the current sound. the exhaust note is perfect i think it just needs to be bit louder and to get rid of those speakers artificially amplifying the noise.
GR Yairs over any new hot hatch out now. There's a reason why this is in the spot light. It's a modern classic.

That's harsh dude. That's Polo GTI level.😭😭😭
PS I'm happy with my choice just the Tyres.
@@Dave-gl6jb look into goodyear eagle f1 supersport as a ps4s alternative

Pads are identical bro
4:12 my man got a bit too excited 😳
Best car reviews .. 👍🏼
Thank you!
I like sleeper looking cars.
I would paint the brakes and choose black for the car body.

GR Yaris is great if you don't have kids :D. Looking forward to the GR Corolla !
Wow... you still kept the original wheels in use. Many would have swapped it out for cheaper/ better ones because of how ridiculously expensive the original one is.
If this car is a circuit pack then I don't understand why you also have the convenience pack too? In England you can either have one or the other.
Because in England they gave some nonsense reason of wiring issues, but clearly that's not the case!
@@CarSauce WOW...I never knew that. I would love to have had both. Great enthusiastic review!
Thank you 😁
@@CarSauce Euro version has different heated seat switches and we get the red stichting on both versions
White GR should be white stitching and red GR Red. Black well either but you can't have everything. PS I would have spec few things different.
Is it just me or does the screen look slightly smaller than the UK circuit pack?
Any opinion about the suspension difference to the normal version?
I've had my Rallye for 4 months and I think it's a great car but definitely not perfect. The engine has almost no low end torque and power under 3000rpm, poor visibility front and back, seating position is way too high, the 4wd system has overheated twice on me, the assists are annoying and require me to turn them off every time, the engine note sounds like a tractor on start up and there's no real engine note besides the fake sound enhanced stuff.

Overall I think I'll be keeping mine for some time to come.
Did the 4wd system overheat whilst pushing the cars to its limits or just during daily driving?
Sounds great to me.
It's more a Celica GT4 than a Yaris
Hello sir! Do you think that cars with petrol and diesel engines will disappear from their production in the future? I hope this never happens!😭😢😓

At $60k would you rather this or spend that little bit extra and get a Golf R?
I guess it depends. You want practicality sure or straight line performance, but if you want a true blue hot hatch not built on an economy car platform the GR Yaris is my pick!
@@CarSauce Fair pov 👌
Id get the GR over golf R.
GR all day long - absolute no contest over a 5 door auto Golf
@@hoomee7605 really? The interior of GR is where it falls flat. Cheap n nasty as befitting the cheap "donor" car. GOLF R superior quality plastics etc
My biggest concern is reliability. I’ve seen a few comments in videos that makes me wonder if it will last.
What comments?
It’s a Toyota. It will last. Plus it has that Toyota 5 year warranty.
it is all fake sound that INCLUDES the intake sound. Don't fret they can switch it off
So the rallye version is nothing special. Just a badge? 😅 And some suspension for 5k?
Nah all rather just buy a circute and get some KW
Spectacular car. Great review but that price is a joke. 😀Should be 45k.
Can't understand why anyone would want one of these ,they look ugly ,the road handling is rubbish (under steer ) the price is ridiculous
U probs don't even have driver licence kid.
