    .............................................................
    How’s this for a hot hatch drag race line-up! Mat’s sat in the carwow Car of the Year 2021, the Toyota GR Yaris, and it’s going up against the MINI GP!
    First up we have the GR Yaris, which is powered by a 1.6-litre 3 cylinder turbo engine to deliver 261hp 360Nm. As for the MINI GP? Well, it’s up on power, with a 2-litre 4 cylinder engine providing 306hp and 450Nm of torque!
    However, power isn’t everything! The track’s pretty wet, and while the MINI is only front-wheel-drive, the GR Yaris is all-wheel-drive! Will that be enough to push Mat through to victory? Or will the manual gearbox in the Toyota ultimately lose out to the automatic MINI?
    There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

      The mini is flying bro without some tuning the dirty Harris is done , only thing letting mini down is being front wheel drive. Front wheel drive and wet roads don’t do traffic light Grand Prix. May be Harris from standing start thanks to AWD and a good launch might achieve a better time than a Mini but as you can see on a rolling start the mini has it in the bag.

      depends on what you want off a car. I chose the Yaris. Its fun to throw around on mountain roads, handbrake it into serpentines or just scandi flick it, which is possible even on dry roads. Not so much the mini. But on a Autobahn situation of course the mini is quicker, while you do nothing but put your foot on the pedal and see the magic happen. Yay. Not enough action for me.
