NEW Toyota Yaris GR Review: Worth The HYPE? 4K Авто/Мото
Does it deserve the hype? ⬇️
More than the supra did atleast this is genuinely all Toyota
Not really
Yeah.
yes it bloody does deverve the hype
No 🤦🏻♂️ people jump on it cos it’s Japanese crap 😂
ROAR-y needs a raise... He's putting out some of the best Automotive Journalism for the average consumer on RUclips. AND HE WALKED FROM TOP GEAR!!??!! How cray is that? Wish you all the best man
Gotta get off the boat before you can walk on water 😂 -RR (Jay-Z, actually)
Should make a parralel top gear with Chris Harris also quitting and then take Matt Watson from Carwow and Yanni!
@@frenchie3167 That would be epic!
Rory was the best thing new top gear had to offer, I'm so happy he's killing it on RUclips
Same as other reviewers out there but Rory managed to make so many mistakes about the GR,s specification.Do they not check their work before making it go live on RUclips ?
Must try harder,very poor effort.
Never thought I'd be interested in a Yaris, but here we are.
Well it’s just called a Yaris, it’s a completely different car, just like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo.
That "Take my money" moment. LMAO 😂😂
Got me laughing.... Take my money, take it all...
THAT WAS AWESOME!
I love Rory's passion and the way he articulates the driving experience, but there are a number of things he mentions about this car that should be corrected - the price starts at £30k not £33k (£33k not £36k for the Circuit Pack), the gear lever is raised 50mm (not 10mm), the normal driving mode is 60% front-biased (not rear) and the roof line is up to 95mm lower (not 195mm). Also Toyota had to build 25,000 (not 2500) examples for WRC homologation.
yes, was also surprised by the amount of mistakes
@@panikz 2 door. come on Rory :)
Sheesh who cares about all those data elements..hahaha
you must be fun at parties
Also tried to write the mistakes I had seen, thank you for this comment
Have owned this car for a week and it’s absolutely awesome! Freeway, twisties, school drop offs, any situation.
“i dono I call that plastic” ...good one lol
Finally a hot hatch with a handbrake and a manual gear ⚙️ stick..
I30 N?
@@bensyraj9985 I know, mo said hot hatch with handbrake and manual, nothing about 4wd
That's not a hot hatch.
@@themagicmessiah372 handbrake, gearstick and switchable 4wd..I owned the predecessor Celica GT4 St205.
Rory, In normal mode it’s 60% to the front and 40% to the rear*
“”Take my money” Ha ha ha
This is not a supermini this is a hypermini, absolutely epic
And that's why I sub this channel..it's just so honest..real..down to earth..and this dude is just Mega..👏👏👏💯
I’ve got one and trust me it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it! I’ve driven it on a proper rally track already and it holds up so well and even goes sideways when you want to!
Man we are mad jealous, good for you!
Don’t know why I’m watching this, I’m still studying for my driving test, I’m broke, and I’m a student 😂😂 we can all dream tho
If you calling Mercedes a class and golf a hot hatch, then Yaris is a class above and it’s real rally car for the everyday driver, not a family car and not a kitchen appliance which the first two are. 👍🚗 Best car enthusiasts toys of last 10 years .
Small correction, normal mode is 60% to front, not rear
best small Hot Hatch car of the World for country roads and race tracks.
Focus st enter the chat gr Yaris left the chat
@@hotrod7603 Focus ST is in a other class and FWD.
VW GTI s2
@@hotrod7603 the focus is a fwd bruh
A45 AMG for the win
Kinda reminds me of the Fiesta ST that EVERYONE loved. But this is like the RS version
Can get cars anywhere on RUclips. But there's only one Rory.
autotrader & Rory been killing it recently with these reviews
Watched this a few times. The "Take my money" always makes me smile. Thank you Rory. Another excellent review.
Rory, I say it on every video you guys put out - you're awesome pal and so engaging to watch.
Rory looked like an excited 10 year old at Christmas 😂
No one:
Literally no one:
Car reviewer: This GR Yaris is the most overhyped halo.....
Me: Shut-up and Take my Money!
He basically said it to himself 😂😂
Man, you make such good reviews! The best out there!
the hype comes from the fact all car manufactures have been constricted from producing fun cars due to boring jack asses that hate the car *EU pens pushers
This is a throw back to better days of old, get rid of that info screen, lower the seat, make a smaller mirror and make the 4 wheel drive system 100% switchable front or rear biased. PERFECTION
Thats the best Toyota’s done in probably I’d say in 2 decades. Btw, I think it’s 60:40 front-rear split in normal mode. We never get this machine in Canada, sadly. We’re wishing Toyota can make a GR Corolla with same formula and backing it to the other side of the Pacific
At AutoTrade, the NEW Toyota GR Yaris is an incredible Car. Nice Work.
Very nice review! I've ordered one which will approx. be delivered in October next year. But I've to correct you: in normal mode it sends 60% to the front and 40% to the rear, not vice versa.
Included in the circuit pack are not just the BBS forged alloys with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and the Torsen diffs front and back, but also painted brake calibers and a better suspension.
Don't ever think about not to choose this, if you would like to buy one.
What I miss painfully are two other things coming along with the circuit package in Japan: the front strut brace and an intercooler water spray kit. I've no idea, why they didn't put it in the package in GB or the EU. But, there is a way with aftermarket parts as well.
Another thing is, that you've compared the GR Yaris to the AMG A35, which starts at 54.180,70 € or 45.869,97 GBP. The GR Yaris comes at 37.640 € / 31.866,43 GBP with the circuit pack. That is like comparing apples and pears. Concerning the engine sound via the speakers: they put a microphone in the engine bay, it's not the exhaust sound you are hearing inside the car. But well, it's a bit too "well-behaved" in that matter from the outside. Maybe Toyota wanted to avoid complications with noise restrictions coming stricter and stricter in different countries. But again, this is a drivers cars and a tuners car with lots of aftermarket solutions.
What a comprehensive and great review
You deserve more subs!
I was about to complain about the flat color grading....until i realized this video was shot in GB, thats just how things look over there.
Yep, beautiful Britain, if you happen to be there on that one day of the year!
Mostly an England thing really. Parts of Wales and Scotland are stunning in any weather.
I am glad you mentioned the fact that the 3 modes don’t really count for a lot on the road. Proper, honest review this. As you say, a hot hatch should also be practical. They shouldn’t be well polished either, one of the ingredients is being a bit lairy.
But in fact this isn’t a hot patch it’s a one off special homologation vehicle there is no other Yaris this shape because this car was never intended to be practical it was made for one purpose. Other hot hatch cars are strictly just soup up version of basic cars with the Yaris is a one off special not based on any of the Yaris besides it’s name Yaris
excellent reviewer is Rory. Another informative one with plenty of info and passion. Great stuff.
quality, reliability, durability!
Damn, are you a presenter at Top Gear? Amazing Review! Love the cinematography too. shut up and take my money LOL. fun fact: the wheel base is longer than a cayman GT4 !!!
Great review, I wish they would bring this to the states.
Great review, I can't wait to get my hands on one!
GR Yaris is the best hot hatch.
I played in Gran turismo sport. it was epic.
Unlike the unreliable and gaudy Mercedes, this Toyota is an instant classic and because it's a limited production vehicle (at least it was until the idiots at WRC decided to require hybrid powertrains to be used soon), it's a collectible too and will probably be worth a good amount of coin in the future. And it's a reliable machine.
How can you say it's reliable? The 3cyl is a novel engine which has no history at all. Same goes with the car.
If you are basing that purely on the assumption that is a Toyota, then I'm sure thousands of Hilux, LC and Prius owners that would disagree with you.
@@GCast-iv1pd yes, just because it's a Toyota and especially when compared to the garbage that the germans make.
@@GCast-iv1pd "Thousands" out of the millions upon millions sold of those vehicles, still make each and every one of them among the very most reliable vehicles ever offered for sale by anyone.
Uber drivers drive Prius'. Not Benzes. For good reasons.
The GRY is a bit of an odd man out, as it really is a big break from how Toyota normally builds stuff. But if there was ever a low volume car whose expected reliability would deserve to be taken on a bit of faith, it has to be a Toyota where Akio himself is repeatedly putting his, and his "family business"'s name on the line the way he is with the GRY.
Toyota has more to lose than anyone else, from the reliability of their offerings ever being as much as even questioned. The reputation they have built up wrt reliability, is not unlikely the single most valuable intangible asset owned by any company, in any business, anywhere on the planet. To throw that away, and on a car which Mr Toyoda himself is all over the place promoting to boot, would be almost criminally stupid. And Toyota isn't exactly known for the stupidity of their management decisions, to put it mildly.
@@haserotmalach7324 Spoken like a true sheep. I bet you haven't even driven a German car.
@@paulnorman8274 Benz are more expensive than a Prius so that's the main reason, nothing more. Taxis here is AU are mostly Koreans as they are cheaper. Can I say a Hyundai is more reliable?
The reason run-of-the-mill Toyota is reliable is because its intentionally made to underperform. They run on average of 50-70KW per L. The GRY does 125KW/L. If you have any idea about motorsport, you'll know that that's a lot of stress put in the engine. To say that the GRY have the same reliability as their workhorses defies physics and simply put, just barber talk.
I would absolutely buy one if they were sold in the US
4:11 self healing car ! 🤣🤣
He walked on to his own show and is RUNNING RUclips CAR REVIEW CHANNEL PURE GENUS!
In Japan there's a 2wd version with 1.5 auto, it has the exact wide 3 door body
Great review as always.
If I'm not wrong, it even has adaptive cruise control as standard!
Proper daily driver if you want.
That's correct it does
Mistakes in this... roof height is 95mm not 195mm lower and standard price is just under £30k and not £33k
Shout out knob gang 🤜🤛
KNOB GANG
“Mercedes” and “hot hatch” just doesn’t sound right
„Hot hatch“ but they are still Mercedes cars which is visible in every way. The interior is just fantastic. Look at the A 45s for example, its ridiculous
Genuine, Well written and excellent production quality !
Wonder if he would take this or the other of his favourites the focus rs 🤔
Numbers are all over the place. Toyota have to make 25,000, not 2,500; roof is lowered 95mm at the rear not 195mm; gearstick is raised 10cm not 10mm. Price is £29,995 for the standard car and Circuit Pack model is £33,495.
Great review. Superb style. 👍
Im going to get one of these!! I need a small hot hatch!
Great video but you got the pricing wrong, you quoted the circuit pack price for the standard car.
So Rory Which’s your prefer GR Yaris or Focus RS
Exactly my question 🤔
That letterbox front view is curious how the design team allowed it. Seems such an easy fix.
Hot hatch for sure! Would love to hear Rory's take on the Suzuki GSX-S 1000f. The man does a mean bike review too.
I've been waiting for this!
Rory, as always a very good review. 👌👏👍 is In Top Gear you never get the chance to do your thing like here. Quality on this channel .
Rory which would you take? the type r or the GR yaris?
Rory' car reviews are miles better than all the rest. Informative and funny. 👍🙂
I love Rory's reviews. So glad he didn't disappear after the Top Gear stint.
Great review Rory 👏🏾
Sub 1300kg with AWD, it is super light weight in now a days standard
Yes I would like it lighter though! It's way heavier than my clio
Compared to other hot hatches, many over 1500kg this is a very light car
@@relentlesspursuit6894 it's tiny though. Compared to a Peugeot 308 GTI (1200kg) it's a portly pig.
@@pastorofmuppets8834 the 308 weighs more than the GR, considering the GR has an AWD system that's some engineering feat! A 308 is the same cost as GR - that sounds hugely overpriced for a mildly super up dull hatchback
Cooool review bro...
Rory mentioned the E30 M3 and having owned one at the time it was certainly not over hyped, drive one now and it would feel slow but the handling on track was amazing. I’m now in an 330e which is a better daily but would not match on the track due to the weight. All IMHO
That's your honest opinion and you're correct, I say the E30 isn't overhyped when it drives that well
I want a comment count of ‘Homologation’ 😂
I actually really like the ge Yaris but they got a few problems but the next year if they make a new one it will be even better!!!
Can you review a bmw 128ti? i like the gr yaris but its too small in my opinion (for evryday use)
Casually moves the steering coulomb in and out while driving lol :)
Wish it had the dials from the new supra but I adore this thing it’s so cool
This guy's car reviews are awesome, really quality production too
I think all it need is a rally inspired exhaust to give it that quiater but rally like exhaust sound
Interesting, as its light with awd with great hp numbers for the small engine. It seems to deliver at all the points that make cars fun to drive. The USA would dismiss this one as its a yaris. For me Id buy it today if I could.
There is a actual "Take my money" machine? OK...
Apparently there’s roomers of a gr Yaris 1st edition rally sport which will have a 1.6 turbo and supercharged which will have prob 320hp
Its not a hot hatch, its a rally car for the road. Not like the other pretenders...
Hold the middle bottom that's located in the middle of the 2 seat it turns everything off so u can drift
I usually don’t like hatchbacks... but this one... I’m impressed!
Side note: TSOP is a type of polymer plastic that Toyota invented in 1991, and has been used for many Toyota cars. The one used in bumpers are called TSOP-7, and it’s designed to be lightweight, highly resistant from scratch , crack, and heat/cold.
anyone know the name of the song in the intro?
Great car and video😀😀
I gauge how great a car is in the video by how big a smile is on Rory's face. JAJAJA
Good review
The Yaris hit puberty. They grow so fast 🥺
After only 22 years...
@@Volcanic73 Better late than never haha
one thing I learned from performance versions of a car is that, you don't buy them for practicality reasons.. you want practicality, you buy the standard versions.
Why gr yaris sport with 2 x lsd does understeer🤔
The Yaris is living up to the hype because it’s been properly designed and executed by its manufacturer. Think about this for a moment. The new Supra is a great machine and after we see what Toyota has done with the Yaris, just imagine what Toyota could have done with a true Toyota only Supra. Just maybe one day, the Supra will return.
Worth all the hype 🔥🔥🔥
The next yaris gr upgraded ,5 seats screen built into dash, lower seating, rear view mirror positioned correctly, visibility improvement, more power, turbo injection
It's good but in Australia it's pushing 50-55k on the second hand market.. can get a near new sti for less. Once it's bellow 40k it will make it a good buy
Normal mode is 60% front and 40% rear - not vice versa. ;-)
Mega review mate! To say I'm jealous that you got to drive the GR is an understatement 🙈
4:09 omg, didn't realise that with the bumper. How did no other reviewer pick up on that. Rory is more thorough than a certain Doug Demuro
Looks nice, drives well.
Great video as always!! Just please use as well kilometres per hour (km/h), meters (m) for FANS FROM OUTSIDE UK 🤩🥳
The best car presenter!!!!
This looks like the perfect high school graduation gift if your sister is into cars. Seriously.
what is he about the drive modes when he has traction control on...:D:D 9:13
Every time I watch a review the info screen looks like it would really annoy me. I never thought I would be desperate to own a yaris!
