    I loved mine on the dry and wet, I really understood it when it started snowing! The GR-Four system is really what is differentiating the car from the rest. You can be fast in such confidence on icy and snow conditions. It gets sideway and just tracks where your eyes are pointing. You can place the front where you want and go totally gazoo on the gas pedal! It finds grip. You only really ever use the handbrake for quick half-turns.

  • @ragweedmakesmesneeze
    @ragweedmakesmesneeze 2 месяца назад +3

    I think a point that rarely gets reported when talking about GR Corolla's adjustable torque splits is that no matter what mode you put it in, it is still primarily a FWD car and will only send "up to" 50% or 70% or 40% to the rear wheels when needed. So it makes sense to me that in the dry, especially in street driving, Tommy couldn't really appreciate the AWD system, but on snow and ice, you can bet that those clutch packs which shift power around were working hard. That said, I think Tommy would be surprised at how much fun a FWD car like the Civic Type R with snow tires can be in those conditions. Team O'Neil Rally School starts off all their students in FWD Fiestas and when students have a choice after having been cycled through RWD, AWD and FWD rally-prepped cars, many return to the FWD cars according to Team O'Neil.

This engine so far has no issues.

      High compression displacement. You've got a 1.6 Liter 3 Cylinder Engine in this GR Corolla making 300hp. You are going to wear out the engine so much faster that way. Unless the components are forged and designed to handle that increased power the engine won't last it just won't. The more power and greater displacement you put on an engine the shorter it's longevity. It's why I'll stay with my V6 or even V8 engines. They've more tolerance to withstand higher compression and greater horsepower figures as there is more material to contain it. Like if you go to any dragstrip you'll always see these 4 cylinders blowing up whereas these built V6's and V8's or larger hold up to the abuse much better.
      All these Turbo 4 Cylinders are fun an thrilling to drive, there isn't any doubt about that. But when you beat on them hard on the daily expect to see issues down the road. They are not designed to be hammered away on daily. Unless you want to spend money in repairs or spending money upgrading engine components to prevent this go with something more robust. That or your only other option just don't drive it aggressively which is going to be difficult for a large number of people who want enthusiast vehicles such as this.

    • @YusufGinnah
      @YusufGinnah 2 месяца назад

      The engine is under extreme stresses to produce the output it does, considering it's only 3 cylinders and a sub-2l displacement coupled with high boost.
      Even more so when you consider that VW uses a 2l/4-cyl in the Golf R to produce similar numbers.
