Great to see a review from an actual owner who simply uses and enjoys his car. Can’t wait for mine to arrive in the middle of next month! Keep the honest content coming!
Enjoy!
Not even watched the video yet but giving you a like purely on the Title. Hahahah. Well played.
Hahahah I did the same!
Ditto and its 5 40 am here ! 👍 🇦🇺
Same lol
Bet Mr JWW has Shaggy on repeat right now. “It wasn’t me!’ Lol
What did i miss 👀
@@Brass-and-Bullets Go check out a recent interview between Chris Harris and Ian Lichfield😉
The best part was the look on your face when you crested the hill and the car went light. Priceless! thanks Jason for a great vid
Anyone else think that engine sounds a bit like a Aventador? I mean slightly muffled like it’s 3 cars up in traffic but I just can’t I un hear it! I wish this came in that flat battleship grey colour, that would be sexy!!
It’s fake noise but it sounds so similar to the induction bark from an F1
I'm enjoying mine too, have almost 4k km on it already. A quick visit to the dealer took care of the (rather intrusive) brake assist system, it's permanently switched off now. Now it's 'only' the lane departure plus the 2 or 3 buttons in the centre console to be set upon getting into the car. Win!
Great video Jason! Well done. Really enjoyed it
Those rear arches are the best part,they're beautiful
Great video - thanks for sharing your fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Crazy the angry howling of this tiny little engine reminds me a little bit of an Lamborghini V12. It is really amazing. Love this little Machine and thanks for the Video!
Love that title, an that you guys don't get caught up in that mess ;) But also, yeah great vid, wanna see more of Jason's cars, that shed vid was excellent.
Brilliant honest independent review, fab! Love the turbo beanage, grip and traction. And I'm with you on your honest view, I'm not sure about the looks.i just wish it looked a little more integrale 👌
Great video! Proper owners review, no bull, no pandering to anyone, honest and real
We appreciate that!
@@TheCarGuysTV just so you know, off the back of this vid I went and put my deposit down! So you can call yourself influencers haha
"A little bit of slidy poos 💩 their " Lol JASON YOU LEGEND!! I can imagine Damiens face 🤣 editing this video!!! 😁😁😁😁🤙🤙🤜🤜👌👌👌💙
Yes, takes me back to those group B Talley cars of the 80’s but with safety features, but the body is no head turner. Time for a big wing on that boot !
Great video, really insightful
Glad to see you really enjoying it and I think this is probably your best solo review too....👍
Wow, thanks!
Sounds like the voiceover from a porno film! "Oh yes that feels sooooo good."
I picked mine up a couple days ago and went for my first proper drive yesterday. Totally agree with everything you said, everything about it is so addictive!
It’s a very naughty car!
Lucky sod 👍
Fantastic review. My first, and now subscribed! Tracked this down after seeing Harry Metcalfe’s GR review. Would seriously consider one of these despite running a car costing well over twice as much. This little car is going to become a cult classic. Well done Toyota!
Thanks for not charging me to watch this upload Jason 🤣 Loved the review 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Jason, you guys really do keep it real. All the best ✌🏼
Thanks, you too!
Sometimes when the daily subscriptions come in I like to save the best until last. Today I did just that.
Would love to have a go in one of these.
I put my order in back in December, I sincerely hope I will get the car in June as originally quoted...🤞
I love these beast Yaris motors! Never imagined that Toyota would do a mad version of a normally very bland little runaround. I think they look great, rear arches included. I hear the tuning crowd are already doing big power mods to these and making a very rapid car into an insane firebreathing monster!
Nice one Jason keep up the great content guys 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Brilliant title. Earned my click and like.
Nice to see you back Jason! I know that with £30k we should be buying an electric Corsa, but what an alternative!! Look forward to more updates on this one!
Well done Jason. Just a good ole car guy having some fun in a great little car. Cheers!
We knew someone would channel The Dukes of Hazzard! Well played, sir
Exactly ! No need to have a loud exhaust where the cops can hear you coming miles away, the GR-4 is a matter of personal pleasure, which can be shared with your favorite passenger, but that's it.
Thanks for the updated review, very enjoyable.
I love that every CarTuber is taking shots at J** over the GR Yaris fiasco now.
Used to love his content but gotta unsubscribe due to the absurdity of the issue.
Yep me too! Sadly he’s not done himself any favours with that stunt👎
@@ronin2981 i already have !!!
What happened
Love the title, looking forward to a drive...
Great video, Jason! Ordered my GR Yaris a month or so ago, very excited to take it out on some twisties for full beanage!!
Hello. A year later, do you already have the car?
@@gdeivid managed to get it shortly after that comment, ran it for 9 months then sold it, loved every mile in it!
@@mowilliams1511 out of curiosity, why did you sell?
@@user-xl7yf7pc7k too busy with work, didn't have enough free time to drive it so I thought someone else should appreciate it. I'd have another one in a heartbeat! Loved every minute with it, especially in winter!
Great review,no Blowing smoke up the manufacturers arse,just enthusiastic appreciation of the cars good points and honest personal opinion on it's look.
Thanks, Phil
good review 👍
Nice real world review - looking forward to seeing more of this car - very tempted to buy one but of course delivery is now March next year I am told by my dealer ....
Thanks! 👍
Shots fired! We've got an influencer down
I repeat shots fired!
What is this alluding to? Sorry, I'm massively behind on matters youtube-y.
@@julianevans9548 an influencer reached out to Litchfield asking them to tune his Yaris GR for free, give him £25,000 for the pleasure of doing so and as if that wasn't enough, give this influencer a percentage of all future Yaris GR mods that Litchfield sell.
Ian, the boss of Litchfield told Chris Harris about it, Harris made a tweet about this story without mentioning names.
However the internet figured out it was JWW and he put out an apology post.
@@the-boring-car-guy Hahahahaaaaaa! Thanks. Never liked JWW - seems up himself - even less so now. Never ceases to amaze me how greedy already very wealthy people can be.
@@julianevans9548 That's how they stay wealthy =)
Epic...really good video. :)
I have to say that I really do appreciate seeing Jason on the channel from time to time, I like his affection for lower budget rally and homologation cars as he brings a nice contrast !
Just had notification that they are 6000 miles or 6 month service. You can turn off the lane assist by pressing a button on the steering wheel. 🐐
He's like you and me , a guy who can't afford your average 100k car but still enjoys what he has
Great video Jason. You enjoying the car really comes across
Thanks 👍
Great video enjoyed the slidey poos 😂 mines due mid march cant wait 😎
Have fun!
Great video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Looks like a lot of fun out down those slippery roads. Seems like one of the best hot hatches out there 👍
It most definitely is
Nice little vid Jason. Take care.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you, Jason. Nice one.
My pleasure!
Awesome review!!
Glad you enjoyed it
1:32 "...when you first get a brand new car... you're not interested in reading the manual..." well Toyota makes me wait for more than a year for the car, so after watching every single YT video out there about it, I download and read the manual :) So glad you're enjoying the car, I like your reviews a lot!
Brilliant video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Likes for the title and a youtuber not wanting to stick an asbo exhaust on their motor 👍👌
I don't think I drive mine hard enough, although the wife did use the word petrified the other day.🤣
Nice honest evaluation 😊 thanks.
Good work Glenn
Just here to read the comments. 🍿
Great vid, Jason 👍🏻 but hate that iPad on the dash and the lane assist thing has absolutely no place in a hot hatch. 😳
Great videos! Cool little car. For the money hard to beat the fun factor.
Couldn't agree more!
Good to see you having a great time Jason.. we've missed you. The Yaris is such a great little car. I think I'll get one, if I can. Or are they like trying to buy a GT3.. no chance.
No you can get them easily
Wow this car looks great fun at sensibleish speeds. Very tempted
Sportaaahhh mode, sorry wrong channel
Cheers guys.
Great video. Looks like the kind of car that makes you go the long way home.
You got that right!
There is a box that turns off lane assist and stop/start from Japan. I have decided yet if it bugs me enough, but it's an option
I didn't know what your title meant until I watch JayEmm on Cars video! 😂🤣
I’m surprised you don’t like the wide arches, imo this is one of the best bits. Without them it would be a granny shopper Yaris, albeit very fast granny shopper 😂
It’s more that when you look in the door mirror they look weird.
@@TheCarGuysTV Get yourself some of those caravan mirror extensions 😂 Nice video keep the great content coming 👍🏻
Nice title!
No, the lane keeping assist is turned off permanently in the menu on the dash. The lane departure warning (the beeping) however needs the button on the steering wheel.
Sport and Track mode - one push gets you ”Expert” mode which gives you some assistance. Hold it in for a few seconds and ”Expert” disappears. NOW you’re on your own...
Great review and plus points for a reality check on the stock car, no shite about what got going to upgrade and how the seats high, the Circuit Pack, compared to the conversion pack (yawn) ! There is only one option the CP one
Looks like excellent fun hooning this. I hear rumours that Toyota and Subaru are working on developing an AWD hot hatch in the coming years, presumably an Impreza replacement, if it's anything like this , I can't wait.
Jason - do you know of a Mitsubishi Galant/Legnum VR4? Versions from 1996 to 2001. 2.5 V6 twin turbo, AWD, suspension and AYC from the Evo. I have owned a few and I have never found a car that handles like them. It is almost like a slightly more upmarket Evo.
Would love to see your Talbot whist I'm cycling them roads... Will keep my eye out... didn't realise we enjoy the same roads
Yuck bicycles are for children and chinese peasants.
Feels like an aftermarket narrower rear view mirror could help with visibility. The touch screen is annoying, they could have used a smaller one. I like the styling, looks ready to rally (so to speak).
My Suzuki has an oil temp gauge which I love having
Thanks for sharing..
£38k and you have issues to fix ..a bit over hyped maybe..
Nice to see you enjoying your toy.
Brave drive , BLACK ICE and gap insurance comes to mind.😬
Thanks stay safe.😎
This was for sale in Romans for like five minutes LOL awesome. Custom exhaust and a large dump valve it will remind you of the Toyota Glanza 😊
love the title
Well Jason I just got my email from Toyota my GR Yaris is leaving the factory and in transit not sure how many weeks that will take I guess ship from Japan but looks like end March so relying on your updates till my Pearl white GR arrives 😊
#Excited
Nicely done sir!
Tawk, Spowrt. Proper Saaff accent. Great review Jason. So ugly from the back but it looks a whole load of fun .
Just FYI, Expert mode allows a more relaxed stability control, but it does not disable it completely. You need to hold the button down for five seconds or so in Sport or Track mode to disable the stability control.
Thanks Lauren, I will check that
Great review. I'm about to take possession of my new Yarris Rallye and was curious on your approach to Breaking In the engine?
Funnily enough a tale of 2 cars. Jason was told he could nail it as soon as he left the dealership. And so did.
I on the other hand was told to take it easy for the first 600 miles. Which I have done.
@@TheCarGuysTV Thanks for the honest reply! Have you noticed any difference in performance?
@@jeanclaudebertoni6262 Not yet
I think I could be heavily tempted to trade the 140i and make it the new fun DD! Great review as always!!!
Go for it!
As a cyclist, thank you for your consideration when over taking.
Always!
Its very simple. Good drivers can deal with slower moving traffic without endangering each other.
Crap drivers get flummoxed or do something dangerous. Makes me chuckle when you read comments from people complaining about bikes/caravans/horses etc. Essentially admitting they are crap drivers 🤣
@@rych7852 bikes are a nuisance. Slowing things down, taking up full lanes, and they don’t pay any registration to be on the road. Can’t say it’s not satisfying seeing a cyclist stack it once in a while
@@benhill2454 horse riders ? I live in Australia.. pensioners, truck drivers and whoever else you that may think are slow, are still faster than any cyclist. They take up room, they’re slow, and pop out of nowhere.
Bud, don’t take it from me, they are universally hated for a reason- and besides, if truckies are slow or bothersome, they provide a service world wide which we NEED. Cyclists are just a bane.
@@deezelkane You know if you'd of kept quiet people would only assume you're stupid, how kind of you to remove any confusion.
Great little car.
I followed a gr Yaris home along the highway about a year ago and it’s looks where uncomfortable , weird even but I brought one yesterday and I’m in love with the first male of my life. Male because this car has balls. It’s no lady .❤️🇦🇺
Buys Rally Car - "i dont like the wide arches"
Got mine since 2 Days. Running it slowly in. But I already needed to make a emergency brake for a squirrel 😬😭 bye bye braking the car in. But man that's some good brakes.
This does have an oil temperature (and pressure) gauge. On the same screen as the boost gauge.
That visibility issue out the back is a right pain in the arse (plus the sticky-outy on the dash iPad look just doesn't suit a performance car
Great video Jason. Good to see an owners review, and the car being driven properly!
Love the title 🤣🤣
My VW Beetle Sport has an oil gauge 😁. Also has a turbo gauge I love watching
So does the gr Yaris. Plus oil pressure.
Is it Pearl white ... or pure white...?
Great video enjoyed it.
I have to wait until dec for delivery ...was torn between the different whites
Pearl
Brilliant video! The best. Honest and unbought review. Kudos to you and the channel
Glad you liked it!
Wish I had one of these at the minute with the weather we’re having. Rwd and Michelin Pilot Super Sports are fun but less than ideal for snow.
Fairly bloody useless in the snow, it nearly got away from me today!
@@TheCarGuysTV I’d still be happy with one as a semi practical daily. Safe travels car guys.
Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 if they fit
@@RichardEnglander thanks I’ll check them out. They are for an M3 Competition 285/30/20 rear tyre.
I enjoy Jason giving us his impressions of a car , that seems almost obtainable by use viewers and I suspect not bought with " change down the back of the sofa".
Would it give the lotus sunbeam a bloody nose in a 3 mile "stage" regardless of road surface?
We await that episode...
The Chairman of Toyota would hope so !
IMT is insurance when things get very busy ie, it always on in my gr4 Yaris and I heal toe but if I stuff up it’s got my back 🇦🇺❤️👍
I dont know Jason, do you hear a tree fall over in the forest if no one's there? 🤣
Up to usual 😉 standard. Which is top ten..
Agree, fabulous power and handling but not really a looker. To your average Joe they might just fall about laughing if you told them you spent 30k on a Yaris! 😬
Yep, i think they look horrible but I saw a pic of one wrapped in metallic dark green with gold wheels. That actually looked good
Nice to see Toyota offering manual gearbox only no crappy dual clutch auto only here take note other manufacturers
Couldn't agree more!
Nice title
Agreed it’s annoying so many cars don’t have oil temperature gauge. My s3 2014 it was hidden in a menu. My rs3 saloon has a proper temp gauge and like the Yaris tells you when the car has warmed up. I think it’s a good feature as you shouldn’t drive a car hard until it’s warned up.
Also agree, lane assist is. Bloody annoying. Have it on my rs3 saloon but at least I can turn it off.
Seriously considering getting a gr Yaris too...why....it’s a manual, well balanced and great fun.
Bad points, interior is crap but who cares. Seat is a little too high, interior mirror is in a silly place, infotainment should’ve been lower. Clutch was a bit on off and high biting point but just a matter of getting used to it. Good points, grip was great, front looks great, power delivery is great. I think it looks fine from most angles, great from the front. Sure it’s not the prettiest car but there’s far worse looking card out there, ask Honda Civic type r owners
a quart in a pint pot for a description jason, is the fake exhaust note tedious or can you switch that off ,good vid.
I think it’s okay, no idea if it can be turned off
How would you compare the GR Yaris to the BMW 1M that you drove last year?
They are very similar dynamically and both have just the right amount of HP.
