"it's more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow" -- this is pretty much it.
True words.
The GR Corolla isn't that slow though.
last thing that Corolla is slow if it was a Miata then yes it does apply (Miata owner here)
This also applies to motorcycles.
the gr corolla isnt slow tho
Sweet to see Linus finally got his driver's license, he's growing up so fast
I do miss Jake in this beautiful moment...
He didnt, thats why Alex is riding with him
Seems like only yesterday he was gaming on a green desk.
Getting driving lisenses can be difficult for folk with ADHD, it's preety cool he did it.
🤣
I'm a hard-core car guy so obviously I watch a lot of car stuff. I also watch reviews that are more into details. But I like that you guys are doing your style car videos. A break from the norm. I would have a hard time buying this too with markup but can appreciate what it is for sure.
Now they are becoming more readily available at MSRP, at least in my area. Blue Flame circuits seem to be a bit more rare and I am picking mine up this weekend with a small markup (~2k) but I''ve been waiting since the car was announced to get one so I'm more than happy with that. Core's and Premiums in my area seem to listed with little to no markup though, and those with markups seem to not be selling.
It's worth nothing the dealer was going to wave the markup if I traded in a car, but I was not planning on that.
Bought my Core 2/23, 41.5K (US). I called a LOT of dealers. Happy with the car, coming from WRXs from '02.
Ok I just picked up mine today... at MSRP, used but practically new at 300 miles. Apparently the first owner got it, got buyer's remorse and traded in for a rav4. God bless him, I'm having a heck of a time. It's a white loaded core model, has basically everything I could ask for, plus extended comprehensive warranty.
Do you find yourself missing those torsen LS differentials? I don't think I could have a car without LSDs.
Don't fret, like the Golf R, it seems the GR can get crazy power with mods. If it was available for MSRP when I got my Kona N, I would have gone with the GR.
@@TripedalTroductions He said it's a loaded core model, probably has the performance package installed which includes the LSDs
I appreciate that Alex is willing to recognize when he "ran out of skill". That's a very good mindset.
His skill level stopped when he thought that was a good idea. lol. It's not RWD, it's going to always pull itself back straight.
Totally. I am going to start using this.
@@calholli You can drift 4WD they just need to have more power like he said.
@@calholli yes and no, there's actually a pretty big following for awd drifting in Australia you just need little weight and high power along with no traction control which was probably on in this video
@@calholli my F-Type R will drift in any condition, its just a power/awd programming thing
Watching Linus basically reviewing a car is the weirdest thing to me. It's like when you have two VERY different friend groups who suddenly meet each other and you're not sure how you're supposed to act or even feel about the situation😂
I felt the same when I stumbled across Jayz Camaro build.
This is so accurate 😂
as a car guy i absolutely love it
@@Seffyrthat kinda feels more natural though, he’s a car guy at heart too and it just so happens that there’s a surprising amount of overlap between the two groups
also when he shows off his new giant house by adding things to it
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this wasn't your most expensive mistake, not by a long shot
HAH!!! Was just thinking that.
@@biggSHNDO same
what was his most expensive mistake
linus drop tips 😂
feels a bit clickbaity: how is it his most expensive mistake if he didn't actually buy it ...? that's the only part of the review I dislike tbh.
"I have made a very expensive mistake" ... this title hasn't aged well.
Linus is low key a true car guy by accident. It doesn't need to be fast, just fun and it's cool to see someone like Linus really understand that.
linus just never had the expendable income to be a "car guy" so it was off his radar. now that he is in a different place financially he is branching out and knows he doesn't have to justify having a car "Just for fun" He's always been into motorcycles which is basically car guy adjacent but motorcycles cost much less.
With his money we'll see him in a S15 Rocket Bunny very soon.
@@nihilisticpoetmaybe if he takes Sammit's offer
Yeah, I don't think liking any fun car makes you a car guy by default.
also a bike guy, he has an sv650
it’s very interesting to hear non car guys try to talk about cars and show enthusiasm. it warms my heart a little.
Same.
haha your comment made me giggle, thankfully read your comment before watching the video, had a blast ! Greetings !
As a tech guy who meant to learn about cars but forgot, a review like this is very influential. I really love to see these car reviews.
Alex is very car guy.
@@lurch789I mean, at the end of the day...that's what really matters.
I always find new perspectives on car reviews interesting. It's interesting to see techies talk about cars, because they focus more on experience than typical car specs
As a car and computer guy, love seeing this.
I think you guys would do really well with a car focused channel.
Seriously?
@@adeadlyfart13yes.
seriously? @@adriandotexe
@@RETROXPRESSTHRIFTyes
The dealership problem is only getting worse I’m glad some people are being in attention to it
Markets are flooded with empty money that people didn't earn. At catalogue retail price the demand is higher than the supply, so the price increases. If prices are law restricted, you end up with no cars to buy at all, 2 year queues or full package variants only available. There's no way around the market laws, which is what we all should already know after the pandemic period.
@@Tarets used market is the answer
@@Tarets smartest thing I've heard addressing this issue
My mom went to get a minivan, 33k msrp. But actual price was 55k. Base model. 20k miles. All new cars are 10 months out. Toyota BTW.
with as busted as the car market is and as dealerships are in particular I don't see why anyone would willingly buy a new car at this point. Even the used car market is messed up, but it's nowhere near as bad.
As a car guy, the saying of “it’s more fun to drive a slow car faster than a fast car slow” rains true especially with Toyota GR lineup. They are absolutely phenomenal vehicles, considering what you get
True, but it’s pretty absurd to call a series of 300HP 3 banger hot hatches “slow”, these cars are not slow.
They are ok, but not for 55k. I used to own an Evo8, Evo10 and a few WRXs and those were priced appropriately. M3P is way better for that kind of money. 11.5 1/4 mile and still a blast in the corners. Not so fast it's scary/you get yourself into trouble like the Plaid, but fast enough to have fun. If you want a similar experience, just get a WRX or Golf R and save your money.
@@xsct878absolutely agree that little hatch is impressively quick.
@@markstreeter9920 And to mention that if we are speaking of just slow but fun cars, you can get an MX-5 ND for half the price
There's a lot to be said about driving a "slow" car at the limit, especially if it's light and manual trans
title very relevant
Well, this video title could've been used twice recently..
“ I can’t justify buying a Toyota Corolla, so I’m going to continue driving my Porsche”. I love this guy
so he doesnt like fast fun
Justify and afford are two different things
Can't justify the price gouging
Those adm ruin the fun
Keep the computer you already got… oh car! I mean car! Confused! 🤪🤪🤪
Linus: Gas cars? What year is it!?!

Funny that you made a video about making a huge expensive mistake ... only to detonate LTT wtih a series of huge and undoubtedly expensive mistakes.
As a car guy, I never thought I’d watch a car review from LTT of all places, but here we are. Cool video!
I believe they have done multiple car reviews, but I'm not sure if they're on the main channel or the shortcircuit channel
I'm trying really hard not to be a car guy because it's an expensive ass hobby, but I'm kinda failing. :(
@@arnox4554 Yeah. It’s a bit of an addiction lol. I’m a car guy, pc guy, and now a gun guy… needless to say, my wallet absolutely hates me!
@@Tomcat115 dude, I'm glad I'm not you, but at the same time, it sounds really fun to be you lol
@@Tomcat115sounds like me. Car guy, pc guy, and a guitar guy. Wallet is crying but I’m having fun
I love seeing car content from LTT. I doubt you can justify doing very many videos like this on the main channel but I think a car channel could really fly. Linus Torque Tips.
Linus torque tips is just an awsome name lol
Alex is probably the main host if lmg decided to have a dedicated car channel, in that case, Alex Auto Tips sounds a bit more appropriate I think.
Cool but they are so nerdy and boring cars, need some jdm culture

A very expensive mistake indeed

We need more car reviews like this, it covers a perspective that most other car reviewers don’t have. Also both Linus and Alex seem to enjoy doing this kind of thing.
Linus Car Tips
we dont need. well, not on this channel at least
Don't know if you have seen it but they have a few of them on short circuit. mostly lead by Alex but still similar to this
I don't know what car reviewers you watch, but the ones I watch are much better than this.
To me the editing felt a bit confusing at first because they dont mention what the video is about in the intro
You’ve made a much bigger mistake now
Oh this ain’t the only expensive mistake…
i love how the GR Corolla is so good that even techtubers are getting into it
HOW MUCH DID TOYOTA PAY YOU FOR THIS COMMENT
@@chrissnydezthey’ve been talking about trying to get a GR Corolla on the WAN show for a long time
@@chrissnydez It certainly feels like that with how popular it is. lol
@@chrissnydez GR Yaris they got in the EU is def superior than the GR corolla we got in the states tho
Except that it has a 3 cylinder. Yuk
the occasional car content is always a blessing.
I have made a very expensive mistake..... thats 2 in 2 weeks then...
well, the title of the video did not age well
I am a car enthusiast probably more than a tech enthusiast, and this is the first car video you've done that I like. The editing, structure, inclusion of Linus, it all works. More of this please.
Yes, except the lack of knowledge about turbos lmao. 25psi is NOT a concerning amount of boost when the OEM built it that way. If it came stock with 15psi and was tuned on 25psi later it would be more of a concern 🤷♂
this video reminds me of jay leno videos
Same! Loved this style. Felt like a kid watching top gear again
as a car enthusiast, i just dont get the script. If you want light manual hot car and you dailydrive taycan - simply get cayman gts. I understand toyota paid for this video, so create script we can believe in.
@@Fertro exactly my point, its about turbo sizing.. if the turbo is small enough it wont cause lag but will need more PSI in the top end to still make power. this is common knowledge among us tuners.. a simple google search would explain it; but to him it was concerning.. that is funny to me lol
Just gotta say as a car enthusiast, I really appreciate this video. Your car reviews are a lot better than most other tech focused channels, and it's pretty clear Alex is a big car guy with a lot of knowledge. More of this please!
Meh, who are you comparing Alex to? He doesn't even know how to drive properly; a prerequisite for being a "car guy".
@@Shaurya_Pant And his scene in the engine bay wasn't really that good. He said there is a 3 cylinder engine and that the intake has a flap on it. Perhaps a more appropriate engine bay explanation would have gone over:
More details about the engine, torque, hp, displacement, curve, materials and how does this engine differ from a standard model.
Gone over the intake system a bit more, is it naturally aspirated, turbo, compressor?
And just in general actually go over things. He just pointed out that there is an engine and it gets air from a hole. Amazing.
@@ASDASD34RDFSlol this isn't meant to be a savagegeese video. This is a tech channel and their content needs to be adjusted for their audience.
@@Bruno-cb5gk I agree with you, @ASDASD34RDFS I sympathize, if I wasn't already familiar with those points of interest, I would definitely want to know, since I'm a car enthusiast, but you have to consider, how many of the nerds watching this are going to understand any of that?
@@ASDASD34RDFS You mean, fluff... that most of us that aren't car geeks... Care about? Some of us, just want a car that feels good without knowing every little bit of detail about it.
Man this car cost less than the cost to retest that copper block.
I would totally watch a Canadian edition of Top Gear with Linus, Alex and James as Hosts. Dennis could be The Stig.
I loved watching Alex drive this around the track while explaining everything correctly
Same!
Lol the restrained frustration in "Ooooff... Well you're going off the redline while slipping the clutch. That's very not good"
I'm glad you touched on the dealer markups and scarcity. This would be the perfect car for me, but I'm basically not allowed to buy one.
my first car was a 3-cylinder Hyundai Getz, a small and quirky car that was quicker than it looked and the roar it made when you really stepped on it, was so much fun!
I've had multiple cars since then and my latest, is actually a return to what I have missed. A Hyundai i20 N-line, the Getz's replacement, with rally inspiration. It has 100hp on 3-cylinders and a roar like no freaking other, it is just a ton of fun and I can heartily recommend it! (and if you have the money, go for the i20 N instead, for the 200hp model and even more fun)
I have driven faster and "smarter"/"cooler" looking cars, but they honestly weren't anywhere near as much fun in daily driving. My i20 N-line is fun at all speeds, whether it be 50 or 150kmph+.
If they don't talk about it, how will you ever know about the Gamers Nexus video?.
I think it's time LTT started their own car channel. They do car reviews quite well.
Just do them on this channel. All this multiple channel crap is nonsense
Yeah. I agree. There's a lot of garbage car and/or tech content out there. This isn't garbage.
if it's all gonna be EVs, meh.
This GR Corolla though is a positive change.
I think the algorithm forces them into separate channels a lot of the time because mixing things up can throw off their engagement stats
No. Absolutely. Not.
As an auto enthusiast and Toyota fan, I genuinely appreciate this video.
long live toyota and lexus. The only thing I have trouble with are the ridiculous emission standards making the cars less reliable..
@@ireallyreallyreallylikethisimg yeah, have a bullet proof 5th gen 4runner but gonna be a moron and trade it for a new trailhunter taco next year
@@himboslice_ as long as its the tubo-less version and naturally aspirated you shouldn't have any problems 👍
This video is well produced. A lot better than some of the other tech and/or automotive garbage that's out there.
Last auto show I went to Toyota was really the one big disappointment I saw. Admittedly I'm taller than Alex but the interior space in any of their cars I sat in was very disappointing and not particularly comfortable for me.
These car videos are absolutely amazing 🔥🔥
Love it when I can get nerdy computer information and sport car reviews on the same channel 🤣🤣
I can relate to this. My first car was a 1998 Opel Corsa with a manual transmission and I honestly really miss driving manual.
Manual driving is an experience that I will continue to treasure for as long as I can 😭
I hate it.
@@Qwerty-uiop Same. Once i tried driving an automatic, i never want to drive manual again.
@@aktm1407 manual is too complicated. For me, it requires too much work.

Alex very quickly became my favorite member of the entire LTT crew, even when im not interested in a video, if Alex is involved, its bound to be entertaining and/or informative so i will watch it regardless and i havent been disappointed a single time
Guess just different views. Alex is always in the videos with the most interesting topics to me but he always ends up annoying the hell out of me for some reason tbh
i completely agree, I love Alex's candor and engaging rhetoric. Keeps me very engaged and he has such a great personality!

@@9.5.9.5 Dude people can have different opinions lay off
@@eskamobob8662 I feel the same way. Him and Jake annoy the shit out of me
This is the reason why I still keep my 1998 Ford Escort ZX2.
It has a feeling of connectedness to the road that newer cars just can't emulate. A feeling of solidness and mass, yet being extremely nimble and quick. Being able to feel the engine deliver all of its 130 horses in a short-ratio gearbox, without the police down your back.
That is what makes driving fun. Being one with the machine, not just riding inside of it.
I had a ZX2 all through high school, and it was the car that made me “love” driving. I’m always on the hunt for one in great condition.
There is nothing fun about a 98 Escort........
@@drunkhusband6257 zx2 was a very different ford escort.
First car I bought was the 99 Zx2. I loved that thing. But switched the a Soul. I always joke about trading my Escort in for my Soul. Haha

It's nice seeing car videos from the LTT gang, especially of something like the GR Corolla
it's so funny watching the camera car catching up
GR is the biggest blessing that toyota gives to us car enthusiasts, and the history behind GR is super cool that I think it deserves a documentary
GR is kinda weird, though. Toyota should have kept the *TRD* branding for ALL their performance cars (think TRD Celica, the TRD rallying Corollas, or the JGTC Supra era) since it has so much more history and weight, instead of creating this weird new brand and locking TRD to their pavement princess trucks…
It would be if you could buy one at MSRP. I hate getting ripped off by the dealers so I would never buy one.
I just wish Nissan would bring back the Silvia. I miss my S13s.
I think they would bring it back in the future. They always do
@@misterscienceguythe new z looks pretty cool
Wow, didn't think I'd see Linus review a GR Corolla...Very nice!
money can certainly change a person
With a car like this, I can see why Linus wouldn't want to waste time redoing waterblock tests, this time using the card it was actually designed for.
So happy your dad is teaching you how to drive Linus. He seems so proud of you
I really like the discussion about buyers experience in this video, giving people an idea of the pain points of trying to purchase the thing on review is such a consumer friendly move and I hope it continues.
Neat little car and looks a lot of fun to drive, but probably one of those you'd want to wait for a refresh on to get the previous years model at a discount imo, to save having to suffer the obnoxious dealership bollocks and get the car in a more timely manner.
I had a 2001 Suzuki swift and it was a little gem. It was so hardy I left it out in one of the worst winter storms here in the UK for a month. When the snow had all thawed the car started first time.
I think the kewlest part is how much of a car guy I am and to see the channel that got me into PC's be just as much into and as nerdy about the GR as they are about PC's, is super awesome!
always love seeing Alex, Jake, and Anthony in their elements
I thought Jake was a tosser at first. But he seems good now.
The forrest?
what element, driving? They can barely do that

Where's Emily? You're talking about the older videos linked to? Which one of them?
As a car guy who's into tech myself, its so refreshing to see a perspective from LTT towards cars! would be so unique to see Linus & Team to dive into these automotive segment in a tech perspective!
They've done a few car videos actually
Car videos are fairly regular but mostly on Short Circuit.

@@jugee8 that's my point😂
The shady dealer practices that are happening all around the world at the moment is insane, and they are getting away with it, even with consumer protection agencies.
don't buy a car, dealers can keep them for themselves ...
@@s.i.m.c.a Exactly, vote with your wallets. Let them freak out when it's 5 years down the line and they still have that turd sitting on the lot
I'd say that if you are talking about them going way over MSRP i can't agree. I do agree that it's both a bad thing and extremely damaging to both brands and consumers. However, it's very much the flip side of us all beating them up to way under invoice for years. It sucks but it ain't shady or a surprise unfortunately.
Now if you're talking switching orders, forcing products, etc i 100% agree.
Its really a shame. Unbelievable that in the "land of the free" car manufactures are LEGALLY required to sell their cars exclusively to dealers. Its an entire industry that is there for no fucking reason and its costing us all billions of dollars.
That being said I have been looking at the new Prius and there are people out there finding them at MSRP. Just takes a lot of time and a little luck.
9:20 nice, I like not having to worry about STIs
As a Focus RS owner, I'm THRILLED to see Linus in a hot hatch! I do think he'd feel a bit more at home in the newest Golf R or even GTI, though.
The GTI has a horrendous infotainment system though. All touch screen and impractical/non-intuitive.
As an owner of a manual '16 golf r, I disagree. I don't think he would like the newest gen golf r. The information is trash. I think he, like most people, would prefer the mk7 or 7.5
As an Mk6 owner, a golf R does scratch all the performance + practicality itches. Tech, however, seems to have been an afterthought; even for ten years ago.
@@ThroughFallenEyes MK7.5 GTI is the best they ever build and it will probably stay like this
@@ThroughFallenEyes As an owner of a mk7.5, I would agree. Prices of the mk8 are crazy (a dealer near by called me wanting to sell me one for $69,000 CAD).
That said the used Golf R market is crazy right now, the same dealer wanted to buy my car for $30,000 with 120,000km on it (and you can be sure they'll turn around and try to sell it for 40-45k).
Only Linus could turn a car show episode into a geek breakdown lmao😂
They should Collab with throttle house
I am a car guy, and I can confirm that ltt...a tech channel...made the most non tech video possible by a tech channel. And I love it!

WOAH! Seeing you review cars, and not just any car, the amazingly badass Toyota GR Corolla is a sight to see! Great video!
Definitely taking the back roads in mission near the dam , use to have a ton of fun racing around when I was younger
for me, the REPAIRABILITY is the most important part. and will always be.
Toyota is part of the "Alliance for Automotive Innovation" that put out an ad a couple years ago saying right to repair will lead to you getting sexually assaulted in a parking garage. Modern day Toyota is not pro right to repair. If you want that, get a used one.
That's the only real issue I have with EVs... they're completely locked down. It should be mandatory that after, say, 5 years their entire software platform is unlocked for third party vendors.
Toyota is throwing that out the window lately. The parts for this car are extremely expensive ala carte.
Alex, is a car guy! I never see him get this passionate about other topics they cover on LTT. I love it!
I beg to differ. he also gets excited for jank builds.
There is car stuff on tech linked you should have a look
unless it involves zip ties or flextape
Buy a VW Golf R instead
@@maji0 Yeah true. I just felt this flowed from a place in his soul we've never seen before
the best decision LTT has ever made is showing Linus' personal things (like his cars and stuff) on the main channel, even though they have seperate channels for car reviews.

FEEDBACK: I love this. I got confused twice because y’all spoke about different features and quickly changed clips. However, I thought you were speaking of the car you were in and was confused when I saw a Chrysler and VW logos. I guess I’m used to watching car content where the vehicle is said out loud if speaking of a feature on a different vehicle

you guys should review more cars.. i really enjoyed this
I appreciate the Volt as a chase vehicle. Loved that car (sold it for a Bolt). Not going back to gas, but I can accept hot hatches and other small fun cars.
it's quite entertaining watching non car enthusiasts experience these kinds of vehicles and produce content around them
yup
It's kind of wild seeing all these tech RUclipsrs and guys with money going back to fun sporty ICE vehicles from their expensive fancy EVs. It really does say a lot.

I didn't expect a sports car review by LTT! I'd love to see more of them!
+1 on the dealer markup situation. This is the reason why I've instead decided to get a used motorcycle instead for some fun.
Motorbikes do hit different, got to love the power to weight ratio.
So sick of car dealerships. If it's high demand just raise the MSRP don't make me jump through hoops
Sports car? Where?
bro i started sweating bullets when he almost spun out. Ive been in a few accidents myself and very weary of stuff like that, *flashbacks* glad your okay and safe tho
Honestly there's a need for a channel for all your tech guys cool cars. We love this content and would love to see more!
the gr corolla is definitely one of the best modern cars and the motor is insane. its had around 700 hp pushed out of it on stock rods, pistons, and crankshaft
Turbo triples are the coolest modern compact car engines and they sound awesome!
I like how manuals are slowly coming back because people are realizing how much more engaging and fun it makes driving.
number wise perhaps. but overall the market segment it is still decreasing
Are they though? With EV's being the accepted future, manuals will still be niche
@@aktm1407 i think what he means by coming back is that many of the sports cars today have the option for manual when they normally wouldnt
In europe they never really left
@@YoungShul I mean, sure, there are a couple of them, but it's not many, unfortunately. GR Yaris/corolla/86, the Miata, Golf GTi, Integra, Civic, M2/M3/M4, 911, Cayman, Hyundai's, Nissan Z, and... that's it off the top of my head. Okay, you know what it's plenty to choose from yet, but honestly I think that aside from maybe the Toyotas, some Porsches and the Miata, these won't be around as manuals for long. Toyota is actually working on inventing a sort of fake manual for their future EVs (which I'm not really a fan of tbh), but you bet that companies that aren't that traditionalist, like BMW or VW will ditch the manual and act like it never existed the moment they deem it unnecessary. In fact it's a miracle they still offer it since it's such an extremely tiny segment of the market.
We NEED a ltt car channel!
Title is relevant
I was between a GR Carolla or a Civic Type R. Ended up going with the FL5 Type R, but I can only imagine the all wheel drive on the carolla would be a blast in your Canadian Winters.
I did the mk7.5 golf R and for Canadian winter it rocks. I would've the type R but being 30 now the subtle looks of the R sold me.
You can't lose with that choice!
Awd cars always seem to have less handling idk why!
CTR>>>>Corolla
