Cant wait to see what you do to it keep up the good content
Got plenty of plans for this car!
a white 24 circuit docking from Japan in about early June with my name next on the list, so stoked still haven’t seen a single one in Maine
How was the markup? 2.5k? 5k or 10k?
@@diallo1347 zero, surprisingly the dealership felt that zero mark up would create a better bond between the customer, though they do have a hard time getting GRC’s traded to them from other dealers, they were shocked to have seen that Toyota allocated them a circuit edition early 2024
That’s awesome! I know this comment is old! But hope you were able to get it and have been enjoying it!
I just Bought the GR Circuit edition without watching any reviews and expect a mechanic talking about the motor.I fell in love it went to Toyota too look at a GR86 & it was on the floor. Totally forgot about the GR86 .lol
That’s awesome! It’s an amazing car!
I had thoughts about the GR86, because I wanted a rear wheel drive car, but the Corolla interested me more since it had more power and AWD!
I love my 2023 Corolla GR Core white. My only Mod is SXTH Intercooler. I just broke 15k miles. I just did my 6th oil change . I did my diferential and transfer case with red line fluid @10k. I did my transmission fluid with OEM fluid @10k. My clutch is fine... i think the clutch issues is with people beating on it or tuned with more power. My clutch is at 15k and its perfect. I think people have issues with their clutch because they don't know how to drive a manual sports car. Now if you plan on tuning your GR for more power a clutch upgrade with valve springs will be in order. Example SpeedLap performance tune his GR and ran about 350 hard pulls on the dyno and clutch started to slip but it was tuned to over 310whp and 320tq.
Definitely agree about the stitching. It needs to be red and not white. Also, the Premiums should come with the soft touch door panels like the Circuits have. The standard door cards feel shamefully cheap.
You forget about it once you drive it. Like the integra's interior
@@mengx94 - The GRC’s interior fades away during the drive, but even the Integra had soft door panels. :) Thankfully the GRC has much better seats!
Would have made the interior much nicer! But totally agree about the door cards as well! Look very plain!
But the Drive is what makes up for the lack luster interior!
@@drivedb7this is why I got a wrx limited. Soft touch materials feel way better and vibrate less. My base WRX had civic looking doors, my STI was nice and soft. You get used to quality stuff quick lol.
If you go with a 60a rear pitch mount (or even 70) it makes the motor not move so much when going through the lower gears. I'm on the 85a bushing now and it's a bit too much NVH. I went with the Grocery Getter Performance mount and it works great.
Also, there is a dongle that you can install for the downshifting that takes 10 minutes and keeps it on every time you start it up. Just a nice QoL addition.
I think with the clutch situation it's a combo of both user and mechanical issues. A clutch really shouldn't go bad that quickly even if you drive it harder, so just put back some savings and upgrade the clutch when you can. Increasing the power has led to clutch issues too.
I bought mine a month ago and have 2300 miles on it now, I have been LOVING it. The driving experience makes up for all of the faults. I love all the sounds the motor, turbo, and exhaust makes, how planted she is in corners, it just feels like there's so much character in such a small package. The only other car I'd take in it's place would be the Acura Type S maybe in a few years. (Or if Toyota decides to do a redesign and add some features, I'll trade for it lmao)
Thanks for all the information, I will have to check Grocwey Gettery Performsce out and upgrade the rear mount.
I have actually just ordered the dongle for the IMT always on!
The clutch will be something I will expect to replace sooner than later!
I hear many good things about the civic type R and the Acura, they are defiantly a great car as well! Like you said maybe an upgrade in a few years once the price comes down!
Hey Brandon question for ya. Have you noticed any small paint chipping?. I'm going to show the dealership next week when I go in & ask about it.oh I also have the White so that's why I'm asking you.Toyota & white paint don't have the best rep.
I have not noticed anything that I know of, I plan to give the car a good detail and ceramic coat it. So I will keep an eye out for any chipping of the paint.
I've heard a few people say that the base colors (white and black) are really thin paintjobs and they have a lot of chipping. I'd get ppf at least on the front bumper and the fenders
@@cheeko_914 so ai just did 100 miles yesterday in it. Came home too wash it & there's another small chip in passenger rear fender. & in Toyota in small print says they don't cover the plastic. So that will be a conversation for tomorrow with Toyota because I only have 530 miles on it after 36 days of ownership & it's always covered or garaged & washed by hand with micro towels .. thanks for the confirmation.
@eboz3213 also consider rally armor mudflaps, im sure those would make a night and day difference with how many rock chips you get
Doesn’t the manufacture use oil with an additive in it that you should leave in for quite some time?
I have not seen anyone mention it, but it never hurts to put fresh oil in around the 1k mark.
Congrats at break in change to Liqui Moli, do the trans and diff fluids as well but stay with the OEM fluids
I have been thinking about what oil to use for the brake in! I hear good things about the liqui Moli, but also have been reading the Penzoil platinum is also a good oil for the price! As for the diff fluids, I might let them go a little longer before I change them out, as I have been super busy, and I don’t think it would hurt them as much!
Nice review! By the way, it doesn't sound like your voice audio is coming from the lav mic.
Thank you! And I realized the sound got messed up after I had already filmed the video. Hopefully it was tolerable! The lav mic is something I have been something new I have been trying out!
Say would you ever consider taking on a project to supercharge a 10th gen corolla?
If they sold a supercharger for the 10th gen corolla it would be cool to try! But most likely will try to supercharge my 2003 matrix XRS, since they do sell a kit for it!
@@BrandonStellmach Thats pretty cool. I've just been looking for outlandish things to do to my Corolla that my dad gave me lol.
I'm definitely waiting to see if they bring the auto transmission like they did the Yaris.
Hopefully it releases in 2025 or 26 because automatic is better for my situation.
That would be interesting if they do! Never knew they made a GR Yaris in a manual!
@@Jmisaprodriver No way! It's better if you don't want an engaging driving experience.
@SethKnows I have a E30 bmw manual for that
@@SethKnows Fair but some car enthusiasts who want this car would prefer an auto. I’m no way against manual. I would get a manual if I had to if I wanted to buy the car.
Were you able to get this at msrp?
Yes, I was actually able to get it a little under MSRP!
Keep Us posted on That Clutch Issue.... I'm guessing some drivers just love abusing their cars... I still soo want one but its still 3-5k over msrp.
Definitely will keep you guys updated on the clutch!
We will see how long mine last! Still breaking it in!
Here in Florida, there are some going for MSRP!
Almost 12k miles on mine, 1 track day, couple mountain runs, 2 road trips. The rest is NYC traffic miles, not a single clutch issue. But I also been driving manual for 15 years.
do the rear seats fold down flat?
Yes they fold down flat to the trunk!
How do you like the OEM radio?
Honestly, the entertainment center is nice, and I love the wireless Apple CarPlay. But the big thing I hate is the sound quality is not good, even with the JBL system. I think my XRS matrix sounds better!
The best soundtrack is the engine itself. I turned on the radio one day and it was crap, turned it off listen to engine and you are smiles for days. You feel more connected to the car hearing the rpm’s rise and fall with whoosh sound from the turbo
I also love the interior on these. I find the type R to be tacky and overdone
I totally agree! The red is nice, but I think it is over done as well!
Love the car but they could have included an armrest for 40k
To be honest, once you start driving, you don’t even notice it not there. Maybe on long trips it would be nice to have, but for me it wasn’t a deal breaker!
Ticking sound, fuel injectors. Even the luxury cars Lexus have the same engine ticking sound
I have learned that! very normal for these types of engines!
