- The Toyota GR Yaris is a car that has generated a lot of hype. In this video i get a GR Yaris owner to reveal if 6 months on if the GR Yaris still lives up to its strong reputation as a brilliant car. The Toyota GR Yaris is a rally inspired 4wd super hatch. It has 257bhp, delivers 0-62mph in 5.5 seconds and has 3 driving modes that send the power to the front and rear wheels giving you a number of different styles of driving. The GR Yaris is a brilliant car.

Love the color! Too bad everyone in the US wants a 10,000 lb brick. Wish we got this here.
I only want a 7500lb brick!
I do really love this car though.
If you mean the hellcat you should drive one it's a million times more fun then that Yaris especially if you like to hoon
@@stickyicky2858 I had a wide body hellcat challenger for a year and a half. 6speed. It was a lot of fun but could not put the power down until you were well above interstate speeds or a gear or two too high. Small awd cars like the yaris GR would be a blast. And usable!
@@stickyicky2858 OP is talking about you pal
Absolutely love this format of interviewing car owners about their ownership experience, Stef you are bloody awesome, good interviewer with excellent active listening skills. As for the Yaris, it’s probably a brilliant car to hoot around but personally I can’t get over the interior design and the materials used by Toyota.
Thanks mate! Great feedback! Will do more :)
Maybe they aren't very fancy but Toyota know how to make interior that age very well.
It's a Yaris mate, not sure what you were expecting from the interior.
It's a GR YARIS.
The interior doesn't need to be fancy...
Really like this format, would have been nice if he had given you a chance to have a drive of the car.
Man I hope we get a Corolla version of this in the states. I would happily leave my wrx for one of these.
I sold my 06 Jdm wrx sti and now have the gr yaris,I can tell you it's moved the game on.👍
given the utter failure of the wrx the corrola should be a hit
Any reason you can't buy one from Mexico?
Toyota US will do a GR Corolla soon as the GR Yaris was primarily built for European and Asian markets.
@@micksc1 Mexican market cars aren't eligible to be imported into the US until they qualify for the 25 year exemption. You can only import/export newer cars between Canada and US, as they share almost identical safety regulations.
Makes sense too. Mexico allows cars to be sold new that haven't met safety regulations in decades (the old air cooled Beetle was sold until 2004, and the B13 Tsuru/Sentra was sold until 2017).
Agree on suspension oem settings - GR team nailed it 100%. I would not fiddle with settings on mine.
100% recommend a fast road geo set up, makes it even better and makes sure its set up correctly. My 'toe' was out
Finally after waiting nearly 12 months I am picking mine up today😎. Great video Stef👍🇦🇺
Wow, gratz! I've ordered mine two month ago, who knows when it's gonna arrive... Enjoy the car!
@@markos8400
I will. Thank You 🙏
Epic!
So how is it???
@@johnvarjohn2549 EPIC 👍
"And everyone's got them now" *cries in american*
I drive a VERLOSTER ON MY CHANNEL
I drive a Chevy Spark, the ultimate in fuel sipping.
@@funtimestuff I don’t know if 40k is worth it to have a car you can’t even register for road use.
@@funtimestuff Reason is because Toyota hasn’t had the car approved by American regulators (the IHTSA and the EPA). For that you need to shift through thousands of legal and regulatory documents, submit two cars for destructive crash testing and one for emissions testing, then you will be given a list of things to fix (that may or may not be feasible to implement) before it can be made legal for import. And if any part of this gets fucked up, it could mean the car will NEVER be approved for import. Not to mention that it’s their sole discretion to even consider a car for import. And if your caught driving a car that hasn’t been approved for import on public roads, they’ll take it and crush it like a $300 90s Corolla. You can register a GR Yaris for show and display though. And if the car is being driven in America for less than a year by someone who has it registered in Mexico, then the police won’t throw a fit if your caught in it.
@@jacobrzeszewski6527 I drive a bad ass Turbo Verloster
Great video guys ! Had mine since July and my enthusiasm and love for the little GR has never waivered!
Mine is totally standard, apart from a GAZOO plate ! Stop messing about and just get one Stef ! No regrets from me....I adore it ! 😉
I couldn't get over that adorable Frenchie waiting for you to throw the stick! For the love of GOD man, throw the damn stick!!!
😂😂😂 he loves a stick
Had my Red GR Yaris in Aus for 8 months. Still love it like I did from day one or more. Fun video mate.
Just go out get one ASAP.😎
Lend us 30k so I can buy one fella
for less you could buy a civic type R or a golf GTI. hope you payed the original discounted price of 40k rather than 60k XD
AND…it’s got FLAPS 👏👏👏😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Don't really Do small hot hatches. How ever I would make an exception for this
The owner ? sounds like a giant raspberry, yuk
@@noremaccystoms2195 Oh dear. It was only a matter of time until someone decided to get personal! #troll
@@davidg2022 it’s RUclips mate, live and let live, who cares😗
I know that Yaris , the transformation is great, colours, upgrades anything, well done mate 👍✅
Yaris GR is simply amazing. Even the standard Yaris hybrid is a cracking little hatch . 👍
Dog even brings his stick to get into the discussion.
Loool he can’t ever miss out 😂
I like how the dog brought out a stick to point out all the mods n stuff with ...
😂😂😂 wasn’t planned lol
It was great meeting you Stef! Fantastic video as always 🙌🏼
Likewise mate 🙌
where's your videos lately eh?
@@TheRealAko Mine? I uploaded one two days ago 🤪
@@JBCTR oops so you did, missed that one lol
Sorry but, the dog is the star of the show for me. What a little scene stealer.
Haha yeah he loves getting involved
LOLOL yep, top dog !!!
Looked like Rolo wanted to give it some stick ! 😃
😂😂😂😂😂
He's a stick shifter.
Looks amazing. Love the colour and the wheels. Also sounds great.
Why am I looking at this when this car is never coming to the States ( U.S. ) This is like going to the shopping mall with no money. Envious, wanting it, but just can't have it .... SO SAD
You guys have the Hyundai Veloster N. I am extremely jealous we didn't get that.
And here I am watching from India where the respective companies, Toyota and Hyundai offer nothing to us Indian car enthusiast.
I have heard they have them in Mexico?, couldn't you import from there?
it will come to the us in like 25 years :D
Had mine now for 10 month (12.500 miles) and i´m still happy with that "little bastard" ... it will have his 2. inspection 2morrow.
before that i had 2 cars (997 C S Mk.1 for fun and Polo V Gti as daily driver) - i do not regret to have sold both to get the gr yaris - it´s the perfect daily fun car.
must be great car if you sold 911
@@alialias3913 it´s just the perfect thing between a 911 and a Polo GTI.
A 911 does what it is supposed to do - a GR Yaris does things that a Yaris is not supposed to do ^^
... and the 997 came into ages - the danger of big repairs came closer - so i sold it and got the money for a brand new GR Yaris - for me a "win-win-situation"
Great colour. Had it on my Starion and back then it was known as smurf blue
3:00 he brought a stick with him 🥺❤
I would much rather have this than the GR86 in the USA
rwd cars that sit on the ground just aren't good year-round cars. i would daily the shit out of the gr yaris in the north-east if it was sold here. then again, dealers would be selling them for 50k+ today if we had them..
@@aaromon43 agreed. I’m in the minnesota so I get how fun this would be in the snow. Honestly, this is sort of why I like motorcycles more than cars now bc they’re really more for the everyday enthusiast. Dealers don’t mess with pricing and the manufacturers really just make what people want where they want it.
"literally silent..."
That's insane, a car that makes absolutely no noise. Crazy!
Reminds me a bit of a Clio V6, except the Yaris gives off more shopping car vibes. 257bhp from a 1.6, that must be running a very big turbo.
It is not a big turbo...
It’s actually not that big. When they actually put a big turbo in it it makes about 500hp
I would definitely buy this hatch! 🔥
It sounds like a Yamaha MT-09 with that exhaust. Nice :)
I think the best car of 2021! ✊
Beautiful look end Amazing sound 👍✌😍 i drove it one time and it's so fast and so happines 👍👍👍
I’ve had mine 15 months nearly 18000 miles it’s fab
Amazing color, with screaming white wheels. Nice match ups. Exhaust a bit over the top, but looks good :P
I love it. I love it. Three cylinder, Turbo , and 4wd. 👍👍🙂
3:11 doggo wants to give you the stick q.q my heart
Haha yep he loves to play bless him
I'm just gonna go contrary to the crowd here, but I absolutely hate the styling choices done here. My tastes and the owner's are polar opposites.
Nothing wrong with that. :)
everyone has own taste. its not my colour also
Yup he made it handle worse, too
Agreed - light blue is such an odd choice - just makes it look cheap and plastic. Would have been better having it sprayed metallic or at least gone for a dark grey or maroon colour with gold wheels.
I want a GR Yaris, what a good interview .. we just have a 12 month wait here is Australia (((
The wrap and wheels really make the car standout.
I wish they would bring it to the US!
I have issues with modern cars that they have poor rearview visibility. Good drivers needs to keep an eye on what others doing in traffic.
Nice!! Stoked that we in the USA will be getting the Corolla GR.
That Miltek exhaust makes it sound so good.
Loved the bulldog with the stick (and the car!)
3:07 good boi
Love this car I think he has done very well with all the mods I hope u will upgrade the turbo soon to get 400hp this must be the best looking I’ve seen
A great collaboration between two awesome RUclipsrs who share a passion of mine. Subscribed and liked. Keep em coming!
Thanks Sammy 🙌🏼
Thank you!
Enjoying my gr corolla
IMO this is similar to the old shogun festiva… wicked car!!
Great video. Loved the Frenchi in the background!
Thanks!
I love my Yaris...just wish the Yaris GR would come to Canada..
Brilliant Yaris love that colour , honest owner reviews awesome 👍👍👍
Nice we car iv a type r civic and a one of the last e92 m3 ever made, love both of them and really appreciate a car like this, grew up with rallying my dad and his mates where involved with it, the last few years they rebuild a mrk1 escort form scratch just a shell, full bda engine and all set up that goes with it, she’s a serious car. We car like this be serious fun
rear is like a shrunken early 2010s wrx, very nice
If you had winter you would really enjoy sport mode
Great video, great car, however I was feel sad for poor doggo that nobody threw its stick :-)
about the soundsystem i have the GR Yaris with the Conveninece Pakage and that pakage has the JBL Soundsystem and its amazing
A brilliant idea with the exhaust. His neighbours must love him 🤣
The wheels look great!!
The only thing I strongly dislike is the control unit sticking out too high like its covering the whole visibility of the windscreen when its close to the middle mirror
It's not a problem with the standard, high seating position, I can see the bottom edge of the windscreen in mine.
The rear view mirror is down in the way though, but there are easy and cheap mods to raise it somewhat.
Those yellow/green fog lights reminds me of Lego..
haha yep a spot on analogy
I didn’t know you could disengage the fake engine sounds from the stereo speakers. Awesome! Also, did you lower the risers on the seat rails? The seats sit impossibly high for no apparent reason.
Loving the retro 90s style white alloys👍👍
Love the styling 🔥
Simply the most unique and fun and every compliment under the sun to describe it , on the road . Alongside the hyundi i20/30N . Fuck all these boring arse mercs and golfs . Best manual car out there more people should get these but are just mainstream shithouses
I can call it for dream and I hope its will be real one day.
Love the dog carrying the stick like "play with me"
I can confirm, i have a GR Corolla Touring and ONE wheel cost me 683€. ONE rim.
His second ever wrap?! Fair play!
This thing is sick! Coming to America soon too. Unfortunately I just added my Abarth and already have an awd Eagle Talon Tsi.
Doggo : "Okay car is quite nice, but what about my stick?"
😂😂😂
I can't believe we can't get these in Canada!
Such a shame :(
That anti social exhaust note would drive me mad, prefer the muted note of my Honda Civic Type R FK8 which I have now had for three years.
Spends a fortune uprating the stereo and then fits a loud exhaust ! Wetting myself. 😂😂
If my car sounded like that I would put in a big stereo, sounds like a giant rasberry
Love the color!!!
Surely it’s easy to fix the seat. Surely just needs a lower frame. Can’t believe someone hasn’t done one yet.
There are folks on forums since the release of YarisGR, someone has done it via rail switch, only thing is... they couldnt keep the original seats lol
Great video, truly. The panning of the two microphones is backwards. I mean, I like the idea of separating the two mics, but keep the perspective as seen.
That said, you have a new subscriber. Nice work.
Yeah I’ve set them back to one channel. Didn’t really work how I intended it to lol
Well done on the Braid Fullrace wheels. I'm getting them for my Panda 100HP :)
They look great
@@StefABtv they look cheap on a car like this
@@napoleon8017 They are functional and replaceable. Braid wheels are for racing, not for show.
@@napoleon8017 braid wheels are not cheap. Put down the internet
@@teemeaux3830 did i say they are cheap?
Damn that’s actually an awesome little car
Bravo on the wrap. Sounds rough..
I have a pure white circuit pack one and they are indeed fantastic cars!! 😍 😎
If that RS is yours, we have 2 of the same cars. 👍
Sucks for me, I’m 14 and I know these are gonna go up in value
Well eventually. I think they're gonna dip to at least the 10k area though then go back up
Build your own, much more fun
they wont, in 4 years you probably pay like 30-40% less for them
Nice video!
3:37
Good choice and YES they stand out as it should!
What's the point of changing the exhaust, if you can't properly see them because it's black...
Black wheels are a whole other topic...
Cheers
I want the US to get these so badly. I wonder how hard it would be to import from mexico?
Easy. All you do is wait 25 years.
You might have missed the boat on a new one, mine is due next June, my dealer (john Roe Hull) is not taking orders currently and told me today they feel that when they do start taking orders again delivery will be well into 2023.
Some delivery times are already 2023 - I dont think any new orders will be taken
this motor is gonna be a slug in the heavier corolla. hope they they bump the displacement and give it an extra cylinder.
The best car you cannot buy in America.
or Canada :( & to think we had 15 years of the shitty regular Yaris. I had one & as a driving experience or comfort wise it was the worst car I've owned in over 30 years of owning cars.
@@Loopsrainforest well they dont come in america bcs you didnt buy enough regular yaris 😂
@@napoleon8017 owning just one in a lifetime is more than most humans can tolerate 😆
The wetter it gets, the more fun this thing is.
Is that was you tell all the girls? 😂🤣
3:33 poor dog, we know what happened there 😁
Lol he didn’t mean it 😂😂
Great vid. Nice watch too
Thank you
Brilliant video 😃 maybe an evolve intake....
I can't wait for mine
Anyone know if the *GR* Yaris is going back on sale? 🧐
I wish they would offer full leather seats and leather instead of alcantra options.
why
@@patrickstar0220 Because some people don't like alcantara and I'm one of them.
All Yaris GR owners should consider a Litchfield remap. Apparently they're very good 😎
このボディカラーめっちゃ好き😊
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate, TOYOTA (of all manufacturers), has built the most fun new low horsepower car since the 1st gen MX5?
It looks much better in that bold colour, the 3 default colours dont do much for me.
The roads of Buckinghamshire
Fast car but mark my words… either the CTR becomes AWD or Makes them faster from 0-60 somehow going FWD…. 🤙🐐❤️🩹
came here for the Car and end up enjoying the Dog!
Haha he has that effect lol
cracking car
Reminds me of your abarth. Not a fan of the loud exhaust though,
I've just changed from a Ford after a decade and the first gripe of the new car is the audio. I think Ford standard sound systems are better than most. My partners Toyota is pretty poor as is my VRS.
It sounds like a 6 cylinder engine 😅
Well it is half of a 6 cly, they do sound similar because of the firing pattern
