the cricket got me not gunna lie
no kidding I use Hohem MICS with noise reduction tech
Same lmao
"how will it ever handle the power of a cold air intake and stickers."
I felt that, especially the stickers part.
The part about a WRX being easier to mod.... if you want to blow it up, sure.
@@DM72513you’ve mistaken it with the STI’s EJ engine. The new WRX is surprisingly reliable and can easily make 450whp reliably with just a few bolt on parts
I don't get the "stickers" joke, could you explain? I'm foreigner.
A friend of mine is crazy about the GR Corolla. I keep telling him to go out and buy one. Nice to see that Toyota on its own can still create fun cars.
I’m crazy about them as well they look good and had decent power but they’re marked up to the heavens around here at like near mid 50k-60k
@@stormierbody8419definitely not worth 50k…. Those dealer markups are insane 🤦
@@KuyaArbeeDrive one and you won’t care. They’re all over the cost across the world.
You have to find the right dealer. Family Toyota of Burleson sold me one at MSRP 2 days ago. Every other dealer around them 8k+ markups
@@stormierbody8419not anymore here in California multiple dealers have started selling them at msrp
TBH after 7 years in a FRS I just figured the cricket sound was made by all toyota enthusiast vehicles
Most fun I’ve ever had driving a car. Former WRX STI owner. Just picked up a premium heavy metal for msrp. Absolutely worth 42k. So much fun smashing back roads, I love that it’s still actually a rare care.
Just put a deposit on one. How’s the power / acceleration compared to your sti ?
I rented one off Turo and now I want one for myself so bad. It's absolutely the most fun car I've ever driven.
Waiting for mine to come in😅 I'm very excited
I agree I came from an sti as well it had full bolt ons tune and sold it it was between a new wrx or the GR and the GR for sure won me over picking it up Monday morning I was so disappointed when I test drove the new wrx
@@teddygunzbarno2102 you won't be disappointed with the GRC. I have been loving every second in this beautiful car.
Great job. Ordered a 24 IC. Core, performance package, mats and shift knob. 38,800 OTD. Just have to wait till December. So no dealer markups here mid-Michigan and I have a wife n kids.
Good comprehensive information well presented. I enjoy your videos.
Good informative video and the late summer cricket made it cozy.
Awesome information. Thank you
Love your passion for the GR Corolla.
Looking forward to your review of the 2024 Tacoma. You do an excellent job on your videos.
Thanks, me too!
Been loving my gr corolla for 7 months now but if I can get my hands on a 24 Blue CE I definitely will
Just reserved a 2024 GR Premium in grey and I am so excited. Waiting a year was so worth it as I got it barely marked up.
Congratulations!! I’m contemplating picking up a premium before the GRC goes away gets or replaced by a hybrid or something.
Best review of this car I’ve watched on YT. Making me want to finally trade in my 14’ WRX for one now…
After watching your videos regarding this guy, I bought one 😅 and I love it!
I'm going to purchase my new 2024 GR Corolla tomorrow. This video was very helpful in regards to specific details.
There are only 1 question that I have. Can to swap out the head unit for an aftermarket deck? I don't want a screen in front of me for any reason, unless it is functional (ie. oil temp, oil pressure, etc).
I thought I was just hearing things outside but I think your mic picked up crickets haha. Great vid showcasing the GR Corolla tho 👍
Dude when I paused it to type my comment it was so obvious. 😂
Thanks, I usually avoid filming with audio near sunset for that reason (among others). That man was really screaming!
That's the sound of your balls sticking together because you didn't wash them and they and they were all sticky from your natural a****** what do they call peanut butter butt
I just got a white GRC (core) and I’m more than happy with it. Hope to see you around in INDY, I’m in Avon.
Congrats!! Maybe, I haven’t seen many others around here🥸
My man, you look taller? Sounds like you still enjoy your GR. Sweet!
Picked up my 2024 Circuit a few days ago after waiting months for one. Already I've had some of the most fun I've ever had in a car, and that's even while still being mindful of the break-in period. Fantastic car.
Just found one for MSRP. I can’t wait to drive it
Just got mines today the car its a blast!
Mine. Not mines. ..mines are where you get minerals and other raw resources out of. In the case of a military application.. mines are explosive devices.
Feels like a very accurate review. Its like 3/4 of a Golf R :) Can't wait for mine to arrive (also in Red). They REALLY need to do something about the rear diff overheating - it happens VERY quickly. I'll probably design an air scoop for it when I get my hands on it. Needs an inch of lowering and 1/2" more wheel offset (and a -1 size on the wheels reducing unsprung mass for better acceleration and wheel tracking with the collateral of a better ride. I did the -1 on my Audi S3 and it was a good move)
Got my 24 core for $37k plus doc fees 2 weeks ago! Thought I was just going to test drive it and buy it a year from now but I left with it 2 hours later. Just graduated college and I’m starting a full time job, the sti was always a dream car of mine and this is even better.
I’ve seen a few for msrp around where I live and Im really considering just getting one
how did you enjoy the GRC at mid-Ohio?? I did my HPDE there with my GRC and it handled phenomenal!
I just picked up a 23 Loaded Core that was delivered to the dealership only 2 weeks ago. I'm guessing it was one of the last 23 models shipped to a dealer as the one 30 minutes down the road had a 24 already.
I was told that $110 rear wing add-on only applies to new vehicles that are equipped with that option on the sticker. The joke is that you can't custom order a car so basically you're just hoping a 2024 at the dealership you are on the list at gets one with the wing. We can't buy it for $110 to put on our 2023.
No way you’re dealer as a 2024 already. Maybe in transport but they won’t hit until November early December
@@christopherbassit2757 Somebody posted it on the GR Subreddit. I didn't look in to it since my MSRP 23 was all I cared about.
Unless you really want the heavy metal grey there's really no reason to get the 2023 circuit. Incomplete aero, no forged wheels, suspension upgrades and a bunch of misc improvements into the 2024.
@@christopherbassit275724’s have been delivered now for weeks
Would be so cool if Mitsuoka would make a car based on this Toyota and then import.
I would vote for them doing luxe version of the IS or the old GS platform.
I just bought a 2024 Circuit Edition today, blue.
How is it?
I drove a 2024 circuit for the first time yesterday. And that car just made me giggle which is a huge compliment. I’m glad it is a eco shitbox and not trying to be something it’s not.
Bro idk what prices or where u live but I just bought a core and I love it I paid like 42 and change the premium is 46 circuit 48 and 50 it’s crazy
Waiting on these mark ups to go down still :/ only ones I’ve seen for msrp are far from Florida
Lol I rip the crap out of that handbrake on my circuit edition😅
"how will it ever handle the power of a cold air intake and stickers??" 🤣
Can that anti-stall in first gear be turned off? I had a Focus RS that also had this and it was occasionally annoying.
great review!
Just picked up a fully loaded red core recently at MSRP and I'm thankful I didn't pay markup. I'm just a little jealous the 24 premiums will get parking sensors AND the better seats for almost no added money. Again, still thankful I didn't pay over sticker and that I even got a car. Plenty of people will want this car and won't be able to buy it due to the limited availability/demand.
Very lucky, I still kick myself over my 2k markup but I've heard so many horror stories from other first adopters and some still occurring now. Congrats!
At least you didn't get a '23 circuit. The forged wheels, completed aero, suspension and steering changes and all that you missed out on.
As for availability there's a bunch of dealers who are sitting on multiple cars, just not enough incentive right now to bring the price down yet. Too many people still think an 8%+ loan on it is still a good idea. Then it becomes the banks problem in 6mo when it gets repo'd. Hence the number of these you're starting to see appear on the used market with less than 5k miles.
I thought the 23 version also has parking sensors. I own one myself and it alerts me when I'm backing up so idk if I'm missing something here. Def jealous of the better seats I've been trying to find circuit edition seats haha
@@andrewkrikorian760 rear Camera based motion sensing isn't the same as ultrasonic distance sensors. If your '23 doesn't have circles in the bumpers, you don't have parking sensors
@@andrewkrikorian760 rear cross traffic alert beeps at me sometimes but definitely no parking sensors!
I'm from Canada and I just got a new Civic Type R. I consider myself fortunate because how few CTRs and GRCs are allocated to Canada compared to the US. One thing I have to confess though I came from a Subaru WRX and I think it drove fantastic. From a everyday driving perspective, the difference between the CTR and WRX are not that big, and you'd have to drive them hard to appreciate the difference / value of the more expensive CTR. What I'm trying to say is although the GRC and CTR are becoming new generation halo Japanese cars, the WRX is still a very capable and much more approachable. Do I regret my purchase? No, but sometimes I miss the days not having to worry about getting rock chips and door dings in the parking lot.
Now im debating if i should sell my 22 BRZ
I love my gr corolla circuit edition
Is the cricket also giving a review
I think it’s safe to say, the GR Yaris and Corolla are going to be Legendary in 10+ years and possibly rival the 2JZ. Such a fun, quirky, unique driving experience! I absolutely love my GRC
when ill have the money, ill get the best trim.
this year im working hard for this shit
Not sure about the gearbox opinion. Test drove it earlier and the shifter feel was amazing coming from a '22 BRZ
Is it true about reliability issues?
Just picked up a 2024 white Core yesterday at msrp. I’ve been waiting for them to get one, which they didn’t last year. Was in the dealership for an oil change on my Corolla xse and saw it on the floor. They had just received it so I pounced! Has the Performance package. Great fun to drive. Personally, I’d prefer to pay 7k less and not get all the other “stuff” added. Simple interior is fine. I’ve had 2 M2’s, 2 Golf R’s and an Audi S3 and was never that impressed with the “upscale” interior. Plastics all around as well. I’d rather save my money and still get the performance. Good luck to all who are trying to get them. Just be patient. Peace
Really good presentation. I'd choose it because of snow performance... and then would feel miserable exposing it to the salt :(
Some Recaro's and this car is dope.
good luck finding one off a lot for MSRP
Adjsuted for inflation, the GR Corolla Core at MSRP with the performance pack is nearly $6,000 cheaper in 2017 dollars than a Ford Focus RS and $5,000 cheaper than a a 2017 STI when those were new. Let that sink in if you are afraid of the price tag.
We understand inflation. What is not well understood that things are more expensive each decade… peoples salaries and retirement pensions stay relatively the same… our dollar is worth less and our amount of dollars is not much more.
one reason the 2021 ND RF got me to sell it was that AWEFUL "Beepbeepbeep" lane departure warning and it's insistence that I was going to crash every time there was traffic. That too is an engaging 6 speed mini monster with a torsen.. But worst of all it is virtually un-tunable to my standards. I know anyone riding the nuts of Mazda who is reading this might say "ya but there's a Fab9 supercharger" - I will reiterate, un-tunable to my standards. I miss the older generation of miatas where the engines were closed deck and COULD handle 400+whp worth of turbo boost if you could just manage the drivetrain to match (which you could!). These newer miatas don't seem to have the aftermarket and high performance crowd doing anything more than drag their feet, but their cool if you want to leave it stock and do some fitment industries "builds" (just wheels, tires, suspension) 🙄.
I've since moved backward to an MR2 Spyder - which to be frankly honest Embarrasses the new ND on all performance ceiling fronts OTHER than NVH, but it is equally comfortable - surprisingly. It even has more cargo space. I think the new GR corolla might be a POSSIBLE stable mate for my Mk3 MR2 and Mk4 Supra. It seems to fill the void between the 2 pretty well. It's the only one that isn't a convertible though (and I had a strict no boring-roof cars allowed rule before... well I guess Its worth bending for the ultimate daily)
The more I learn about the GRC, the more I missed the GR Sti.
All the noises give the car character! It's a good thing. Want quiet? Buy a Lexus.
What's Toyota saying regarding the clutch packs overheating?
Putins fault. So we have to send more aid to Israel
I found mine at msrp, it just took a while. This car is hilarious on backroads, but if you just commute to work on busy highways, I'd just get a tesla. On empty roads, or backroads, this car is a dream.
Interior rattles, check. I Fixed them in my 4runner, it was the windshield cowl. Brakes squeak? yeah my 4runner does that too. Besides that it's way better than my previous junk Jeep gladiator. Two years and it was falling apart.
Awesome car, for the average Joe it’s prob best to get base WRX for almost 10k cheaper 😅
In most cases, yeah, that’s been the big appeal to the wrx for decades but if you can actually find one at msrp, the difference is more like $6k and you get more features with the GR for that money too, just less space!
Just put down a deposit for a Premium in black coming in towards the end of the month from a dealer that says they do MSRP! First time buying a new car so not sure what to expect in terms of haggling with financing/other upsells but looking forward to it!
my first car, i said "no" for 3 hrs... they even had to bring in 2 managers for me to say no to 😂
in sales there are lions and lambs, be a lion! You're not going to hurt anyone's feelings.
@@floaterfans I mean I don't mind letting the guy have his cut, he wants his bag, I want a car that's hard to get, I don't mind if he gets a little nicer of a check. Just not like 5k+ markup LOL
See what kind of financing you can get from a bank on your own FIRST, before you go to the dealership. Then you can counter the dealer's marked up financing offer with your better rate, or simply say, no thanks, I'll finance on my own. Basically the only time it's better to go with the dealer financing package is when it is part of a special deal from the manufacturer. Either way, if you get a quote/rate from a bank or credit union first, you'll know if what they are offering you at the dealer is good/fair/ridiculous.
@@ragweedmakesmesneeze This is what I ended up doing! Bank of America offered 5.8% on a pre-approval, the dealership wanted to give me 10% LOL. Had the preapproval in hand so they couldn't do anything about it, put 30% down and rejected the extra warranties and such. I did take the $1300 tire and wheel warranty though because I've had flats on the poorly maintained roads before so I'm sure I'll end up using it at some point over the 5 years it applies for. All told I got out of there with MSRP + 1300 tire/wheel warranty. It's a 5 year loan but I'll be throwing extra money at it as my stocks vest and I get bonuses and plan on paying it off in 3 years to save interest.
Got the car two days before New Years, absolutely love it so far.
Talking to someone who works at a Toyota dealer I was told the most common issue is burnt up clutches. As to if that is the result of agressive racing, design shortcoming or people not knowing how to drive manual is to be contested
Definitely user error, it’s pretty easy to cook a clutch with AWD!
@@Realistick That is my hope. Somewhat glad this is not my first manual but it is my first new car and I want to baby it.
There's one for sale in Canada for 54995 because the previous owner wrapped it in stealth PPF but the interest rates are at 9% and the sale price with tax is 60k... I'll get a used M2 for that price and wipe the floor with this GRC... Toyota should get a grip.
I went online to look for grs and surprisingly enough, there are lot of them going for MSRP, specially the black ones. I did some research and it seems this vehicle was overhyped, the black color is the least desirable and apparently it has some issues with the diif overheating and going into fwd.. I'm surprised you didnt talk about that.
You may want to call them before assuming that. Some are actually msrp and available, most are marked up (mine was advertised at msrp but they were originally asking 10 over 😂). I talked about the awd overheating in this, it’s in the drawbacks portion. I’ve never personally had it overheat. Definitely not overhyped unless you were expecting it to feel like an awd miata!
man my car is a 2023 black GR Core and has seen multiple rally events. even got on 3 wheels. almost at my 1 year mark as I received it in December 2022. smiles per gallon are infinite.
I’ve seen them going under sticker already
I have been looking at them for a couple of months, but they are really uncommon in my region. I am considering ordering one through Toyota, but I would still have to wait for a batch that isn't completely spoken for to have a chance at allocating one. I almost pulled the plug on a Civic Type R, but they are just a little too much "Hot Boy" flamboyant for me.
1 huge reason to pass!!! The rear diff. Over heats on a track!!! And there's nothing you can do about it!!!
After watching videos of ownership. These cars have a lot of issues with paint.. For 40k+, that's a little steep. Better off waiting for the 2025 model? Not sure if they'll fix the current issues by then.. 😢 Been holding off for now between the type r.
Yeah I seen a couple owners show paint chips real early in ownership. Just another corner cut by Toyota.
My Tacoma is almost paid off. I’ll keep that until I no longer owe money for it and wait to see the new Supra if they do what was done with the GT86 and give it a new body and chasis improvement. Same for GR Corolla.
Anyone in SoCal? I found a core that can be negotiated to 41,500 with most options
I want the gr yaris brought to north America. I already have my family vehicle, and would prefer the smaller yaris for my fun little toy.
I’ve owned one for 8 months now and have loved it from the very first drive. Sure, there are small annoyances like the interior rattling and such but it is greatly overshadowed by the cars handling, performance and feel👌🏼.
Interior rattle in a NEW CAR is unforgivable to me. I have the OG Matrix that this car came from, its an '08 and the interior is STILL quiet. How the hell can you drive while hearing plastic rattling around your ears?
@@PurpleMonkeyWaffle it’s definitely annoying and quite the shock from a new car if I’m honest. Yet, it’s an easy fix for the dome light assembly that does not overshadow at all the rest of what this car offers. It’s a car meant to be driven hard so eventually something will be rattling regardless I believe.
@@Jeyxero I'm for sure one for taking my brand new stuff apart to make it work better for me, brings me closer to the car. It just seems like Toyota cut corners on everything they could and still ask a premium price when really all this has is AWD. Many cars have a turbo and LSD so this car isn't special in terms of offering brilliance. Its just an AWD corolla for 50k!! Yet 10 minutes of hard driving and the oil and clutch overheat, interior rattling, ugly cheap interior (my '08 matrix looks better), thin paint, poor paint options, poor trunk space, overpriced. Toyota said it was gonna be an affordable fun car... Its 50k in Canada and it looks like you need to put another 10 or more into it to make it what it was supposed to be.....Its incredibly disappointing to many many people. P.S My Matrix was offered in AWD too lol For pennies more.
What's surprising to me is that there are any build-quality issues with this car as it's advertised as being built in a special factory by specially trained master technicians.
@@ragweedmakesmesneeze Right? Corners were cut plain and simple.
I just can’t get past the interior is the reason why I went for the ELANTRA N AS MY DAILY.
what their sports cars need is an infotainment system upgrade, like why is it a boxed TV? I've seen ford do better, Mazda, and some of their toyota did it better than this, boxy shaped screen.
it doesn't fit the whole sporty look, they'd rather switch it to a radio system if that's the case. would have fit the whole vibe better.
That's the only thing that bothers me on this car, everything else is 👌 fantastic.
GRrrrrrr (Every Pirate's choice)
The rear diff issue is going to be a constant issue… I hope Toyota comes up with a fix.
If you’re hot lapping it, definitely , though I’ve driven it pretty hard in varying temperatures off track and have never run into problems with it!
@@Realistick if you actually drive this car hard you can overheat rear diff in 10 mins… this was in 85 degrees in the Midwest… if you select track mode 50/50 you get lucky with 15 mins… Great review btw, I’m near Chicago area
@@pushtoyota You’ve overheated while off-track? I haven’t pushed it hard for very long on a track (I did one autocross section with it and the hdpe intro day for the GR track day) so maybe that’s why I can’t add anything to that conversation. Either way, I really hope Toyota offers a factory vent and/or heat shield, cooler to alleviate it in the future!
@@Realistick hope to see you out on track more often. Come out to Gingerman Raceway or Autobahn. This GR Corolla is great, but if you drive the car the way Toyota says you can you won’t have more than 10 mins of fun before you over heat the rear diff….
GR Carnage was epic.
Do you ever regret buying this over a CTR?
I have second thoughts sometimes, but after looking at a new one locally for $60k, it got rid of that bug. Im gunning for a comparison asap
Yeah in Canada these are over $60k. 20k more than a WRX. I'd love a GRC but that price is hilarious really.
Yeah big difference there from what I’ve heard!
Where in Canada? I'm in Calgary and it's been a while since I looked, but I think they were around that. I'm still happy with my S4 but in a couple more years when this markup stuff is over, I might get one of these? This or a Golf R really in you need/want awd and hatch. The new WRX is ugly or else I'd of gotten one (well, wanted an STi wagon but we know how that ended lol)
What...Ontario core msrp 45k no markup
@@brendanchess8954 interesting, makes me wonder what I could get for my manual S4 lol
@@brendanchess8954where are you seeing that? I am also seeing 58-60k cad
I totally disgree with the clutch and the way the auto revving system works,
I’ve driven hundreds of manual cars in the past 5 years and this is the first car I’ve stalled in 5 years
3 times, I love the clunkieness of this car, makes it feel much more serious then it’s competitors , good video!
The clutch bite point is really vague. First time I drove the car I tried to drive it out of the parking lot without using the gas and just feeling out the bite point. Since it was a cold start the anti stall was keeping the revs higher and really couldn't feel the bite at all. You just start moving as you let it out. I can see why you'd stall it, you just can't feel anything.
@@Vermonsteredthats one of the best desicriptions of the issue I’ve ever seen
And anti stall is a serious issue cause it stops u from being able to rev the car,
2 months of ownerships I still pay attention everyday but that’s what makes it great lolll
The anti stall almost got me stuck in a middle section one day lol
@@jdmbren13 The anti stall prevents you from giving gas? Normally on drive by wire cars the car will see the RPM's dropping below intended so the computer will open the throttle slightly. If the GRC computer can't take user input while it's implementing it's own anti stall it seems backwards as the driver is asking for even more gas. Would keep me on my toes creeping along in traffic or parking lots!
@@Vermonstered that’s exactly what I mean, it can’t and it’s ridiculous, either that or the clutch point becomes none exist, to turn off anti stall input in an emergency u essentially have to slam the clutch to the floor to pop it again, other then that, flying into a corner this transmission is gold.
@@Vermonstered and yes I drove through 2 hours of Toronto traffic yesterday and it was hell, unless driven how It’s intended* the car essentially feels like a brunt clutch from factory , ur constantly deciding whether to gas ur self or let it to do it, it’s pretty funny, but a lot of effort
I just need one reason after driving a core edition, It's probably the most fun car I have driven. That video would be too short, so you had to come up with 6 reasons.
How tall are you? Headroom and legroom alright for you? Can you sit behind yourself?
The "market adjustments" aka Greedy dealership price gouges.
Anybody experiencing through out bearing noise?
I've seen some people cite clutch noises, I hear some grumbling my self upon release but it's slight and hasn't changed since I bought it. Idk if I'd say it's the throughout bearing but I am not a mechanic!
To be frank the argument that a $40k lil bare-bone sporter is affordable is grinding my gears. But ooh it has a 0-60 in blah blah blah EVERY CAR NOW HAS GOOD PERFORMANCE NUMBERS GOD DAMMIT THEY DONT MEAN ANYTHING ANYMORE
Biggest problem with the EVs - they all have insane 0-60 times but god are they all soulless fat porkers. Kind of like Old American Muscle all over again, fast in a straight line and thats it!
TOYOTA 🏁❤️👍
It would be cooler if Volkswagen lowered the price of the Golf R.
That cricket in the background. Sheesh.
There were actually cows in the background too
When I drove it, I thought the clutch was quite heavy for such a small engine tbh
GR Rolla AWD ftw! MSRP sucks lol...
I miss evo
$46K for a quick AWD econobox and the lack of front armrest shows off it's econobox roots. Hell to the NO. Golf R all day
A core grade is far cheaper than the Golf R, id agree if we’re talking about the circuit though
Enjoy your minivan!
@@apex_gr Enjoy your $50K Toyota Tercel with no armrest and cheap plastics. That will get old real fast
@@Realistick Yeah sounds good now find one at that price

I muted this video a few time because I thought there was a cricket in my house! 😂
He was really screaming
Wish it had an arm rest
And an aluminum dead pedal to match the rest.
one of the few cars ill actually contemplate buying new
A major turnoff for me with this car was the base model not coming with the LSDs
Over where I'm at. All of them come with the performance package.
buying a base core is a waste.
core with performance package 👍
The weight of this car is crazy. Too heavy!
For that money, you can get RAV4 GR and all the comfort you want. But I think Toyota is ripping of their costumers, since even GR doesn't perform as it stands for. Many people are saying that the GR just lacks umph and really doesn't give the feeling of being GR.
The people saying that are jaded, the only other GR performance models literally aren't Toyotas. I've driven all, the GR86 is the most fun but the GRC is awesome in its own way and much much quicker which is partially why I didn't buy the GR86.
@@Realistick Sure. Lots of people suggest getting AWD, for example on Yaris Cross, etc., than to buy a GR version. Would you suggest GR86 is more for daily driving, if you are not too much of a car enthusiast?
Apples to oranges@@sebastianisakovic6527
Toyota announced they are going to make an automatic trans with paddle shifters. This excites me because the are I live in is a nightmare for having a manual
Sounds like a good time
The cricket noise in the back is atrocious- can’t get past 10 sec in the video.
Crickets are super distracting.
yaris over seas 700 hp and 600 ft.tq
Common problems include stealerships slapping on mind melting markups, low stock, low production numbers, and I'll be honest I'd like an auto which I know triggers "enthusiasts" to no end but when I'm sleep deprived in the morning getting to work, the last thing I wanna do is deal with driving stick + clutch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ with an auto, you always have the choice to row gears when you want to
Also, the cops will be on your butt like white on rice. It already happens in my GR86
It’s a bit of an abusive, low production car so I get why they don’t even bother with an AT, I actually haven’t had any police troubles with the car (knocking on everything now), to most, it’s just a corolla.
I can sell you my 2014 EVO X //MR with only 3k miles...YES 3KMiles only! You can have it if the price is right...I actually still have some of the factory plastics on the vehicle...only reasoned it stayed that low on mileage is because I drive our family cars more. 😊
Toyota dealers in south central Wisconsin are just awful. They have no interest in helping anyone reserve a GR Corolla and when they are randomly allocated one it's offered for sale at a huge markup. I went to a dealer to ask them in person how I could get on a list and reserve a '24 and they basically shrugged, said they didn't know anything about them, and that the THREE they got all year were gone. Utterly useless.
Funny enough, up here in oregon I'm seeing a lot of 23s with roughly 5k miles on them and dealers still want 5-15k over msrp.
Maybe 2025 we'll see first year's at msrp?
Sounds like an inline 6 with a speech impediment…. Well, ok 😂
