Same here, my immediate thought was the same. I'm ok with this kind a things in snow but not ready for wet runs yet. Interesting what tires are on that car.
@@VidNibs I had an M2C driver pull up at the lights next to me and quizzed me about it, he wanted one too. Hopefully Toyota will realise this car’s global appeal and try and meet its demand. I must say though, the car is pure joy. It’s the best car I’ve ever had and my dream car. I’m not one for driving status symbols, I prefer the leftfield choices.
Ha! I know EXACTLY where this is... :) great driving, and a very fun road indeed. The section further down from here is fun too, but it's more difficult to find it empty...
ahaha cool story ! i think very few people know this road... i filmed the lower section too, but like you said too much traffic... this summer im gonna close the road and film it again !
@@AB-tw5hc it is definitely not a particularly popular destination, especially in the summer, when there is no snow :-) I look forward to seeing your next video. Good work with that GR!
I have one of these cars so I know how capable they are. You are a much more skilful driver than me but I can’t help thinking that there are points in this video that if you’d met someone coming the other way it could have ended very badly. Might be better to take your skills on to a track.
exactly. great skills but you are literally risking your and other peoples lives for this. this is not something that should be supported. there is no way in most corners you could have stopped or avoided a crash into other cars with that speed and a wet road. do this on a track or a closed off road at an event or something. otherwise this isnt a question if but when a fatal crash happens.
@@AB-tw5hc dude how could you know if someone comes?´ you literally could not see around the corners when a car comes in to your direction while you are in the middle of a slide, with not enough space to the side, how do you plan to stop that?
Such an awesome car. Toyota must think it's the 80's/90's still, since they're hiding this car from the US. I would've bought this by now. They're doing a GR Corolla instead with the Yaris stuff but it won't be the same both handling wise, and of course looks wise. I would instantly buy this 2-door hatch, I couldn't care less about a 4-door liftback that somehow doesn't have space in it despite said layout.
As someone who's first 3 cars were RWD ('66 Mustang 289 V8, '78 Datsun 280Z, '85 Toyota Corolla GTS) and none with stability control or abs, I would have zero fear using the 30/70 torque split setting on a road like that. I think we've forgotten how to drive in recent years, but something like the GR Yaris/Corolla (for US) can bring some of that back I think, but in a way thats safer and more controllable. It may seem like a small thing to some, but a pull handbrake that decouples the rear diff? Yes plz😎
I seen thestraightpipes video on the GR corolla and they couldn't even get the back end to break out on a giant skidpad I hope it was just there user error cause I want the gr corolla and I want to be able to slide it around like this one
@@dustinmallett1703 I havent seen that segment, but I suspect sticky performance tires, dry warm pavement and a little bit of user error is to blame...especially considering the handbrake. Wait until the roads/track are cold and wet...then engage the 30/70 along with the handbrake for plenty of tail happy action. I mean sure, even having 30% torque to the front wheels could be making the car "too stable"...but it's only a matter of time before the aftermarket tuners crack the code on the adjustable torque. At very least reducing the front assist to 10% or even 0% if possible. Not sure the rear diff alone is strong enough to handle the GR Corolla being purely RWD, but I have little doubt someone will test it for us eventually.😎
That was the best POV i saw in a long time. Probably one of the most enjoyable ever. Toyota really has made something great with the GR Yaris! This makes you feel like a rally driver! I hope i get the chance to test drive it. If you’re reading this, how is the fuel consumption? I bet its really good when you’re driving normally. Normally i don’t care but with today’s oil prices climbing, this is probably the most fun petrol powered car you can get.
Dumb question maybe, but why do you keep shifting up at 4500 rpm just to downshift immediately? Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the same gear and ride it through the full powerband?
Every so often Toyota comes out with a real winner like this. If they were smart they would force their dealers not to do a mark up and sell these things like hotcakes.
Nice driving skill! Thats a sick car in wet condition its Nice yo see how good you can drift it! There is a chip for a quick 20hp xtra if you looking to make it more exciting!
Dangerous for an open street, as others have mentioned already, but quite clean and smooth driving! Could you perhaps post the link to exact location of the corner at 3:05? Thanks!
Astonishing skills, I have this car but cannot dare to drive like this.

You have insurance right?

Mad props on that drift around the corner! So good!! This car must be insanely predictable. That is awesome! I just subscribed.
the car just does what you want. its built to be driven like this.
This gave me anxiety and a rush at the same time. Wet roads, public area, and an adrenaline dump 🙄. Great driving!!!
Absolutely beautiful, we need more of this!✌️
Awsome car, love the fact that this litte tiny car have 4 wheel drive and a turbo engine making over 250bhp ! great driving!
Yes such a lovely car to play with ! :)

The driving is very 🤏🤏 and I like it picasso
Insane driving skills, showing the true potential of this car
This is my dream sports car as of now, i really want to own one someday or test drive it would be cool, im still young tho maybe one day
Absolutely amazing how you get your phone to stay in the console 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😉
I'm too old to care for such stuff but it was fun pressing the like button and from 999 becoming 1K
Great driving

Nobody was around, btw i could have avoided any car because i was really far from the limit. trust me.

@@Mr.Marbles there is enough space, you dont need to stop the car to avoid the crash
@@AB-tw5hc 1:45, 2:20 no chance. You're just lucky.
the level of grip for the standard road car is smply amazing
Retitle video to: Man appears to have death wish but avoids jaws of the abyss through superior driving and oversized testicles.
What masterful driving!
You know the driver is good when the rearview mirror points to the other side.

Probably my fav hatch! And nice skills man.
pretty smooth man, sweet spot
Awesome driving sir. Hats off to you.
Amazing! Enjoying your car! How it should be.
Jeez! that cabin is quiet.
That looks like so much fun!
pro rally driver vibes... mad skills~! RESPECT SIR~!
You know he knows the car when he's moved the rear view mirror! You'll only understand when you have/drive one...
This was the Blue pull yes
Thanks for sharing G💯💥🎯🎯
Amazing driver, very good video.
I like how you turned the rear view mirror for a clear view but you still let the cable hanging by the side of gear shift🤣
Nice and smooth !
That was beautiful
Subbed , please make more like this
absolutely amazing driving mouahhhh
Sei fortissimo, complimenti!
Nice rear view mirror
Man if this thing came out before I bought my evo VII I probably would have got it. Looks like a blast!
Please put camera at foot n spedometer
Fab stuff 🏁👍👏
Great drive! Great car!
You rock man, excellent driving skills but drive safe ,
1:09 you couldn't make that look any easier 😂
Awesome!
Thank you !
Sick skills bruv
Do you press the clutch in when pulling the handbrake or there is no need for this car?

thank you mate. I think the car can do 11km/L when driven slow, im not sure because when i drive it im always pushing
amazing
Thanks !
This is how it is meant to be driven!
Killa road
There has to be a better phone holder, feel bad for the phone. Great driving by the eat

For Sale: GR Yaris. 1 owner, not thrashed and well looked after
Great driving but holy shit youre taking risks... There were plenty of corners where you couldnt have reacted at all to oncoming traffic
Yes i could have, i was still really far from the limit
#proper use of the car :) Well done sir!
What settings are you on
Perhaps 70 : 30 right?
That is some sick content!
Wow you can drive!!
is it a one way street? either you brave or nuts lolol
Two- way unfortunately...
good drive
Nice driving
I love the video, im sad to say in canada we did not get the chance to buy this vehicle.
Ωραίος.....
Well, he can drive me to the shops any day.
waw....nice car, nice driving skills bro
Damn, this is so nice. I want one desperately. :/
Which mode were you using? .. You are very good
Great job man !
Looks like he delivered all the tofu
Nice video bro

Superb driving!
my dream
Could you share your drive settings? Modes etc.. would love to see what you were using..
Do you have the performance pack?
Nice driving skill!
Thats a sick car in wet condition its Nice yo see how good you can drift it!
There is a chip for a quick 20hp xtra if you looking to make it more exciting!
Spot on driving!!
Are you planning any mods?
eventuri intake and titanium exhaust 👍
Yes!!!
You are a fucking genius broo ❤️
Ahahaha thank you
He be driving
nice! stock tires?
What mode were you in?
What nation is this?
You are such a skilled driver. I watch the whole thing. What tires do you have on?
3:13 that was a risky pass... luckily yaris showed his rally origins :)
Clean.
wow.
Any mods ? stock tires?
wich tyres u using bro?
Are you just in low speed 1st gear, when drifting in wet
Great car, new supra should have had a manual gearbox
Oh my GAZOO!

Do you have the high-performance-kit with the TorsenLSD ?
yes
Sport mode?
Great driving Sir!
Have you done much to the car?
The car is currently stock
@@AB-tw5hc did you drive track or sport mode?
@@gustaw5918 Sporte mode ON
So, this is a one way street or? 😉 👍
Is this GR the open diff or the rallye with the torsen LSDs? Awesome spectacle of skilled driving there by the way!
id say torsen with certainty.
torsen diffs
couldn't even do that in the dry 😂😭
It is more difficult on dry street.
