- In this video, I take the Toyota Yaris T Sport for a spin and give a review of what I believe to be the best cheap hot hatch you can buy RIGHT NOW! I delve into every aspect of this compact car to show you why it has earned its iconic status among car enthusiasts.
My test drive covers various road conditions to evaluate its handling, responsiveness, and ride comfort. We also look at its braking performance and cornering abilities to give you a complete picture of its driving dynamics.

Haha, I was here in this video. Do you remember the 2020 Grey Honda Civic Type R that broke down. I am the drivers son! LOL. We was on holiday and all your crew helped push it.
My experience of the my Yaris T Sport (5 door facelift) has been overall brilliant, especially considering it's nearly 20 years old. Absolutely no major rust whatsoever, just the odd bit of surface rust, the engine is bulletproof too, 70k miles and it is absolutely not showing any signs of age whatsoever. In terms of how it drives, it's a very fun little car, takes corners effortlessly and I totally agree with u about the gearbox, absolutely smashing!
At first, I disagreed with your statements on the power delivery, but no. I had the AC condenser replaced, and some other AC related stuff, and it noticeably has more poke, and it seriously does pull hard even at high revs. Before it felt anaemic above 5.5k rpms, now it still pulls above 6k.
I'm chuffed to bits a viral content creator like u has acknowledged this car!
The sliding rear seats are a game changer 😅
I’d love to see a Peugeot 207 GTI feature in one of these videos
Great shout👀
@@svengrube1 Or 208 gti bypeugeotsport. How would i go about getting mine to feature?
@@KurtisAdams-h2z That would be mega. Drop me a message on insta mate!
6 months ago I bought a Toyota starlet, 85hp but weighs about 110kg less than that Yaris, good fun and only cost me £1000, no rust 68,000 miles
Yaris TS would piss all over it.
@@SueKeeper less money= less fast
@@Downshift13 can still pick up a Tsport for a grand. A Starlet is a bit fugly and old fashioned. I hope its not that green colour!
@@SueKeeper both are good cars though! With the Yaris probably being more reliable and newer for people not as mechanically minded but still want to have some fun!
great video love the hard driving
I absolutely love to rev that little vvt-i. My mom had that car for 14 years and I bought it from her. Over 300000 km and still going strong.
I've always had a soft spot for these
Cool car and lightweight obviously taking notice of Colin Chapman’s design principal and practical. Love it 👌
Best recipe🧑🍳
Fiat Panda 100HP needs to be part of the conversation. I reckon it's better than the Yaris, very similar ptw, better looks, better sound, corners better too. I might be biased though as I've got one...
no one has ever said a fiat panda looks good
@@willft2814 your mum
@@willft2814ummm. Yes they have. To start with, the comment above that you replied too said they looked good.
Fn2 civic type r too, The most hated type r, higher ptw then both Yaris and panda, nicer day to day. And really not that much money ATM, with way more of them for sale.
@@willft2814the fiat panda 100hp is a good looking car tho!
Lift off oversteer is a rather prominent danger on these models. I have driven many hatchbacks, but this platform is the only one that loves throwing it's back around. Had it happen on two different models, despite not driving agressively.
Can confirm, proper little underdogs in the right hands and especially with the right handling mods. Mine beats quite a few quicker cars on track 😅
Amazing car, reliable. Cheap. I have usual 1.0L version, 167 000km on the odo, but with AC, electrical windows, central remote locking and rear disc brakes (bought for $1500).
I like these cheap hot hatch videos, it would be cool to see a mazda 2 and some other budget hot hatches reviewed especially for younger drivers
the corolla t sports are criminally underrated even compared to the yarises for the price
Gotta love sending the smaller cars round B-roads. I've fond memories of nearly writing the fabia off while flying over Rivi with you chasing me in the C1 lol
@@tobymorris346 Good times mate😉😂
It’s great bc the old head enthusiasts haven’t priced these out too much cos they are embarrassed to drive in .
you gotta make a video of the c30 in the background, thats the underappreciated gem XD
Same recipe as the Suzuki ignis sport and you used to be able to get them cheap, so caj definitely see these doing the same.
100%. Looking to review so if you anyone😉
What about an also works rs/z
Or the newer alto works rs turbo
@@svengrube1 where you based?
@@cheesycracker1784 Drop me a insta dm @SvenGrube
I had a Honda Jazz 2015 1.3l as my first car and it also had 100 bhp. It was a reasonably fun car to drive, especially revving the engine out as that's where it made most of its power. The ride was a bit firm, but it handled well. Insurance was super cheap too and i got 55mpg on the motorway.
Ended up upgrading a to a Golf GTI which of course was way better but still like the honda jazz for what it was.
I very very nearly bought one. Then I decided fuck it and bought a GR Yaris instead. Both amazing cars
Quite different cars but the GR Yaris is unbelieveable
Honourable mention to the MK1 Puma! Be good to see one of those on this channel. The T sport do be epic though
@@DavidGrosse-wk7vj I’d love to drive one!
I had a 2001 puma was great fun
I’d say the best value Hot Hatch was the Saxo VTR me and my friend got for £400 haha! Was a fun little car that!
I've had mine since 2021. From the factory the chassis is a bit average. It has the short wheelbase and light weight, but soft lacklustre suspension heavily biased to understeer. Sort it out with a rear anti-roll-bar, axle bushes and lowering and suddenly it all clicks. I don't have the greatest car experience, but you can *place it*, on the road like nothing I've ever driven. They're not fast, but my god are they agile. Mine has a custom intake setup that dynoed at 128hp, really opens the top end up 😁
They're really not a hot hatch though - more of a warm hatch that was so brilliant it frequently gets compared to contemporary hot hatches. It gets 50mpg on a run and comes within a whisker of an ST150 in a sprint to 60.
swift zc31s is the tried and trie answer for cheap fun (fwd)
Do me a favour try the yaris sr 1.8 with 130hp. My mate used to have one of those, reckons it went toe-to-toe with a Swift Sport and even bested some Fabia VRS
Source me one and I’m down😉
I owned a 1.8 SR Yaris. 'hot' it most certainly wasn't. 😢
@@stevenhearnden6103 never said it was hot. Probably luke warm at best, just like this yaris t sport
1.5 Mazda 2 is the one
Ive had a swift sport in my tsport, very close race
More hot hatch reviews please
That steering wheel is hideous! 😆
Nice video. I imagine you'd like the panda 100 and r50 mini for similar power to weight ratios & fun NA power. I think theres a sub class called 'warm hatches' that describe these cars perfectly. For the same money I'd rather an r53 supercharged mini but you'd defintiely not have the same reliability.
The best cheap hot hatch 🤝🏽
I agree good sir
106 gti ???
I like my daihatsu
800kg , 64hp, its a saloon
The older 90s mira is over 60kg lighter with same power, some of them come with quad steer
Only Yaris thats a hot hatch & it definitely is the fantastic GR Yaris 4 WD beast with 260+ bhp or the latest with 280bhp. Would love 1 at sometime maybe afternoon my leon Cupra 280.
I'd choose swift sport any day of the week over t sport, just more bhp and a bit quicker 0 to 60, might sound bias cause I own one 😂
Got the phaze 2 . For 3 years 290,000 km . B road beast
bought one as my first car around 3 months ago and in that time ive put around 3000km/1800miles on it. if anyones interested in getting one and has any questions ill be happy to answer them
“Toyota Vitz”
Amazing little cars I was gonna get one for my first car. I've currently got a corsa c SRi 1.7 absolutely love it fun to drive brilliant on fuel because diesel 🤣 pretty quick aswell
I got 1.8 sri corsa, beast, surprised lots of bigger cars lol
@timbecks81 ohh yeah they do everyone thinks mines a 1.2 or a 1.4 hahaha
@@MurderdMeriva it's funny as fk aunt it, I like wiping smiles of bmw drivers, wen they can't keep up, mines tuned, decat, induction, bilstiens all round, uprated fuel pump, sports bk box, wanna do cams, injectors, and remap, be even better lol
@timbecks81 sound sick that mines still completely Standard haha project car but my only car
@@MurderdMeriva I'd have a diesel, but we in ulez, so il stay away, have a play with it mate, they are very restricted, once they can breathe it's a different ball game, 👍
Dude, bought one 2 weeks ago 😂
Been fighting rust since day one haha
What about 1996-2000 motsubishi colt? There is the mirage version with a turbo and 160hp
LOL sadly in quebec, Canada...... we got the phase 2 car with phase 1 interior only engine available the 1NZFE 1.5....... BUT ! these go for 3 to 5000 $ here
Got to try a corolla mate, can drive mine if you fancy ot
@@jrgaminghd9253 I’d love to! Drop me a message on insta😎
Where are these roads?
Lupo GTi would be another great one like this. Except it's 950kg and 125hp
@@agondard12 Definitely!
Nearly 10k to buy one though
@@luk3_86 believe it or not i got one in Ireland for 3k 🤣🤣 they go for at least 8k here and there's never even any for sale 95% of the time
@@agondard12 yeah they are stupid money now might aswell get a swift sport or yaris tsport for the money tbh but they are great cars
I miss mine everyday 😭
Short ratio, noisy engine, hardly any sound deadening means they sound so much faster than they are. But they still surprise people off the line.
$4000 in Canada.
Now there are 2000 to 5000
I did had 2003 toyota yaris 1.3 sr i paid 250. And sold it for 500.
Then i brought 2006 toyota yaris 1.3 mk2 there good to drive. But loved to owner 1.5 toyota yaris 2005
Un auto muy querido y usado en Paraguay
Please tell me about the shoot location 😢😢
Nissan Micra SR, Fiesta ST, Swift Sport....
What mm are the springs lowered too? Front and rears?
I raise you one Swift Sport
Hi mate was wondering what kind of roof rack you had on your old c1.
Kind regards
Craig
I think they were eBay specials. Got them a very very long time ago
@@svengrube1 cool thanks for replying keep up the content
Hello everybody !Is it true phase 1 has gearbox problems and phase 2 less or none?
I've got what's probably the modern equivalent of this, the Hyundai i10 N Line. 100hp and 1000kg on the nose, lovely short-throw manual, bit of a louder exhaust and stiffer suspension from factory, darty as hell and it's about as much fun as you can have in a car on the road. Plasticy, too small to fit anything in the back of, but I absolutely love it! It'll also sit comfortably on the motorway doing 50mpg, can't ask much more.
Why not a Yaris diesel d4d remapped to 95 bhp. It sounds slower but it would have 60 lbs more torque and give much better fuel economy.
The Citroen C2 Vts is the best value hot hatch, 1.6 16v 125 bhp. Nearly bought one recently only a grand.. the Yaris tsport is a warm hatch not a hot hatch..
this car for sale right?
I got a 2015 vitz (pink) 1.0 its kinda fun but auto so not very fun but she moves
It's a Jazz here in the UK & no teenager or someone in their 20s would be seen dead in. In Europe particularly the UK Jazz owners are old age pensioner's.
@@jeremywentworth1833 wrong vitz is the jdm version of the yaris it takes one google search bud
The t sport e12 and yaris are good cars but i think the 106 gti and the 306 gti 6 is a nicer faster car and the saxo vrs
Suzuki swift sport
This or the Ignis Sport 1.5? 🤔
Id say a C2 VTS would be a better choice than a yaris t
'HOT' hatch? My wife's 1.0 szt swift would eat it for breakfast. 😂
Im sorry but a car with 105 bhp can never be a hot hatch , they are a warm hatch . Nothing wrong with the T-sport yaris as a car though.
Is that one made in France or Japan?
Japan.
All made in Japan even at the end
Wrong, Yaris T Sport is too expensive now. Colt CZT/Ralliart is the true answer. 150bhp stock 1070kg. Mine was 230bhp.
07 mazda2 sports better than the yaris looks better handle better n its faster
Twingo Rs
That's not the price anywhere, plus no environmental sticker means not being drivable everyday or anywhere. But yes its a cool car, expensive though not 1000 money at all. More likely 5 to 8 grand easy.
@@danigonzalez4299 You can easily pick one up for that. We included a screenshot of one for sale!
@@svengrube1 not here in Spain. Believe me, the cheapest is 5K. You guys in the UK live in a parallel reality
Ahem *proton gti* 😂
unfortunately the way you speak just sounds horrendously scripted, if it is or not. You need to work on your
cadence if car journalism is the way you want to go. look at Johnny smith he has simlair voice too you but he doesn't have such samey cadence. Please discover more than three pitches. if you don't get what I'm on about then don'y worry its already over.
@@rollthetape88 This video is a slightly different style of video, to my usual. Still trying to work out what works best. I’m very new to this game, he has 20 years+ of experience.
I will say that nobody is forcing you to watch the video, you’re the minority of people who don’t enjoy it🤷♂️.
Wow you’re a delight, I think he did a great job and like he said is still new at this, everyone starts somewhere, give him time to find his groove and I’m sure he’ll do great, thankfully 99.9% of people are supportive and don’t pull the guy to bits, his cadence will improve, I’m guessing your negative attitude won’t.
6 months ago I bought a Toyota starlet, 85hp but weighs about 110kg less than that Yaris, good fun and only cost me £1000, no rust 68,000 miles
