- This week it is time for something completely different! As we pit the bone stock Toyota Yaris GR against a mildly tuned Ford Focus RS (making 420bhp) in the only way we know how... With skids and our patented Fun-O-Meter!

8:10 holy shit thats some nice driving
So great to see someone who can really drive test these cars!
You should make more videos like this, really entertaining! Nice job!
The conclusion is you want a new girlfriend regardless of how good the current one is
Focus rs did pretty good considering it came out in 2016. Also, use launch control next time, that drag race will be much closer
because 2016 is ancient history..... or something.
Lol yeah you cant really compare 420hp modded RS to stock GR… but great review!
Honestly it's quite cool to see someone daring to send the cars like that. Very nice driving !
Good video, I'm a big fan of focus rs but this yaris is special ...
A hug from Portugal
For a Gr Yaris owner that’s not the result I would like to see but how can I blame a test like this! It has been a super cool comparison made by some one who can really get the limit of the car !!
Great video (still love the Gr more 😂❤️)
Awesome video! Love seeing awd hooning
You are an insane driver!
I work at ford and drive a toyota! Lol awesome comparison vid
The sound apperaring at "chapter name" reminds me of a song... but which one? 😞
Great video, next please golf 8 R.
Good rear view mirror angle in Yaris, any visibility?
Yaris at racing package? Locks on front and rear axle?
exhaust, tune, recaro seats and the yaris is a real winner for hooning
So make it into an rs?
What exhaust does the Focus have?
Amazing driving
Sztos!
Professional drifter just traded up a focus for a yaris. All debates on what cars are better should be a thing of the past. It's not what you drive, it's how you drive it.
Wonder if they got rid of the yaris yet since I've heard many for sale in Australia 😂
Also the Yaris rallye is 70 Grand in Australia way to over priced for what is a hotted up lowest model Toyota you can buy
The ability to go sideways is what I miss about my old Evo. My GR wants to either grip or understeer unless it's on a wet skidpan.
So a Focus RS should give you that. But I heard some engine blow the head gasket. I guess only a small percentage, but still wouldn''t want to deal with that. On the other hand, the GR has an open deck too...
@@spolo123 head gasket problems were solved long ago under a recall. they wrongfully used the mustang engine one in the 2016-2017 RS engines which is different in order to cope with more power and better cooling.
@@TTGT2000 I wish youtuber Markup70 would have come back to ford for an update. He's the reason why I test drove the mk3 but didn't buy it. He had two head gaskets failure although Ford mounted the right gasket the second time
In the meantime i had a second gasket failure on a stock engine in my RS. Fixed now with an aftermarket racing gasket and some brace for cylinder heads to reduce flex. Lets see how long will it last. And yes both cars have open deck design. Small engines big power need good cooling hence the design.
if you try to get TC off in GR without being in sport or track I believe it does not remove ESP. So first to sport or track and then traction off for fun..! need for new comparison test?
That's how cars should be tested. We need more videos like this
If you put first in sports mode then you don’t have to hold 5 seconds to turn of ESP. Also auto stop gets disabled automatically. Where is the parking lot? I am looking for such place to have fun :)
Nice
Yaris vs swingo fun factor next
They need to bring the Yaris to the states🤦🏻♂️really wanna get me a turbo car
Ive had my gr corolla for a year now but I think I’m gonna get my gf a focus rs bc they’re both so sick
RS 😍
In „car preparation” you gave same points to both, but the case is that Focus wins this also. Yaris takes ages to swith off all the annoying stuff. (I own both)
Agree with all the rest. Pozdro!
Owning both...is the Yaris worth that much more considering the RS prices in the second hand market? Is it that better?
@@franciscocabrerabrito5945 Yaris is significantly better performance wise. It outhandles the RS in every possible way except the sound of course. weight is everything. RS is just way too heavy and you will feel it driving both back to back. I was kind of sorry to admit it at first as I always was a Ford fanboy hah.
RS is better as a daily, more practical, better during winter and so...
Speaking about price, if you just look at performance itself and general feeling of driving the yaris - yes it is worth it. But if someone can't accept a yaris for that much I will also understand it, it has many minor drawbacks too.
Driving the Yaris for one week straight I had to force myself to go back to RS, it was just plain boring
@@f00lxpl hahaahahah your last sentence says EVERYTHING. Many thanks bud. I've been thinking about this choice for a hell lot and not so many people out there has got both to make an ownership comparisson. Regards from Spain and enjoy them!
@@franciscocabrerabrito5945 thanks man, I hope you will make a good choice. My RS is mapped to 380 hp and has some other bits installed, it is still no match for the GR. I also find myself driving the RS more aggressively trying to have the same feeling, still nothing. I think RS needs very aggressive map to give you similar feeling.
GR has all the performance and it’s quiet and gives you a nice punch in the back. Makes it feel like an EV car in some way:)
Greetings from Poland
Nice fun review. - I'm looking forward to get my GR Yaris, even though it's less fun than the Focus. It's better performance from the line though. ;->
Did you get it yet? How Is it?
@@eylo5583 Not yet. :(
First the dealer has "confirmed" it for May 2021. Meanwhile I assume that it will be delivered at the end of this year - in best case... :(
@@Eratosthenes0815 i Hope IT Will be soon fór you, how did you get money to buy it?
@@eylo5583 I think that's my problem. ;-)
But to be honest: Before I ordered the GR Yaris my "plan" was to buy such as a 6-cylinder Exige, or an Alfa Giulia QF. Compared to this the Yaris is really cheap, isn't it?
@@Eratosthenes0815 it Is i just wanted to ask how Is it possible to afford that car
Its cheaper
This Kat Is Really Kool. Along With Fact That Rear View Mirrors Insult Their Masculinity.
i own the Focus RS for 4 and half year, i still love it......But i'm also thinking about buying the Yaris. The two things that stop me are the lack of exhaust sound and the power should a little bit higher....I know i could tune it, but i would lost the warranty.....tough choice....keep the Focus or buy the Yaris.....
Keep your eyes out for the GR corolla coming gonna be trading in my 2020 corolla for the GR corolla😁
Easy just have both. You only live once.
I own both. Focus since 2016 and Yaris for 2 months now. It is kinda funny that Yaris has all the performance and no sound, tbh I like it. Focus is the lound one, Yaris has much more performance stock vs stock
@@Chaser_Chung, that is just a hot hatch, not a rally car for the road. It won't be the same, it'll be good but not as good as the Yaris.
Uf thats a though one ... i can just tell you that i sold my M2Competition and ordered the Yaris, but i also have another RWD car ... i put it this way, the Yaris is something special but probably only fun at the limits as it is more focused than a focus ;) it is definitely a back to the 90’s car and gives you that special raw “feeling” (M2 with DKG feels like a playstation compared to the yaris) ... and the engine is powerful don’t worry about the engine! If you want one, you have to be quick as they are sold out soon. And get the track pack haha, i have to wait a couple of month for mine and it’s painful hahaha
Great video, but I have a Question about the Yaris
Do you ever get the feeling, that when countersteering a little bit you just loose all steering weight,
and when you turn the wheel back the weight only comes back when you reach the position of the wheel before you corrected oversteer?
For me it feels like the steering wheel is suddenly hitting a wall of "force" after not having any, but this only happens on small (quick) oversteer corrections,
when trailbraking in a corner a bit for example
I don't know if i should be concerned or not, this happens very rarely and doesn't feel dangerous, but it's slightly annoying
Love the video btw. have only driven the Yaris but would love to drive the Focus some day, both are awesome hot hatches!
It happens for me as well but only when doing silly fast and stupid things. Driving clean I haven't experienced it. First time I thought I was about to break the steering column when that sudden wall of force feedback appeared on quick corrections. And my car is 100% stock.
Yes, I’ve been asking around about it on some forums as well and I finally found someone that understands me. When u give it the flick and it goes sideways, the steering becomes light and then suddenly comes back to you and if you don’t expect it the car can snap back pretty hard which is fun but can be a bit uneasy sometimes. Am I describing it similar to your situation?
@@mitevm I totally feel you. I have similar issue, when car slightly oversteers the steering of wheel lightens significantly and then suddenly comes back to you causing sometimes a hard snap correction (the car centers well but it can be quite sudden and rough if you don’t expect it). I feel it has something to do with electric steering… wish it had good old hydraulic :( one of the only weak points of this car.
@@freshness7114 Do you still experience this? I destroyed the stock tyres and bought semi slicks that are also gone but haven't experienced it since my very first couple of race drives. I also drove another GR Yaris with camber bolts, and caster bushings and it was way way better than stock. The season ended so I am just dailying the car with winters for now.
@@mitevm I got the car early autumn (still bone stock), been to a track day and been driving it spirited it during winter. i haven't driven it much since december but going to do a second track day soon and let you know how it feels. from what i read on the forums the car definitely benefits from increased caster, engine torque arm inserts, and camber bolts (since stock is non-adjustable) - all very minor mods but seems like they make a big difference. you're confirming exactly what i read before so i will defenitely look to modify these soon, thanks! many people try to first give it more power but i think suspension is one of the first mods anyone should do (especially if you track it). btw don't you think semi-slicks are absolute overkill for this car? unless you start adding more power, the car grips crazy already and the OEM ps4s seem perfect for it. i can't imagine how you managed to shred the semi slicks xD
Daigo saito be like : GR Yaris with 2jz 1000hp inside
And RWD Convert.
Candyman
🤣🤣🤣 your accent is soooo fun..
rs
Both of their names sound similar.....focus Rs....gr Yaris.....
Needs a score for the B roads.. Yaris would be alot quicker.
But the drift mode in the rs is a bit artificial, you don’t really need to counter steer to do it
I agree totally cheating in the ability of the driver that's why so many rs s there have been written off 🙄
consideration ridiculous crazy🤣🤣
✌🤙
I need morreeee
I can't stand people that care about the exhaust sound. I prefer quiet and less drama instead of what sounds like the car struggling.
focus rs legend 4ever
kto z polski ?
Take your fox and give me the yares
Here to watch the RS not the GR. You can try to promote the GR as much as you can, but RS just looks awesome.
I think they both look sharp on the outside. The dash and wheel I think the Yaris is better
0:20 then 7:59
A maior merda que vi até agora 😂😂😂
