I see Toyota, I click 👇 I see ICE, I click 👇 Seriously, I bought my wife to test drive on multiple cars, and the only car she remembered was the Corolla. She was so impressed with the ride comfort, while she had forgotten the rest of the cars 😂
I couldn't agree more - I was looking for a C-segment which would be fun to drive and to also be a family car. I dabbled with the Honda Civic RS, Mazda 3 and Corolla G-Spec; the moment the GR sport was released - I was sold and booked it even without test driving it, as the Corolla G-Spec was already a very refined car by my standards. The GR Sport has been serving me over the last 6 months! Fantastic car and no regrets choosing it over the Civic or Mazda 3 - the only gripe was with the Dunlop tyres which are louder and harder; a swift change to Michelin PS5's and all is now well. Great review of the car by the way!
i test driven civic, almera & S70 .GR altis is the best handling n ride comfort. not an uncle car now, much sleeker. speeddemon ppl, will choose civic for sure, for me corrolla fits just right me
This reviewer is so freaking good, man... I'm gonna watch just to see how he argues it against the Civic and i already know he's gonna make some strong points.
The GR is what the standard Altis should have been. 3 years of driving my Altis, I realized my brothers Yaris had some better features that was missing in my Altis. Toyota successfully managed to sell a C segment car with the feature range of a B segment. And then up the price and add commonly found features on a C segment to the Altis and sell it at a higher price.
Finally, after 6 months of launch, you guys finally got the car to test drive! Well done, better late than never! Is UMW Toyota bringing in the hybrid version? It's already out in Thailand long time.......
Duh.. Head unit infotainment still buruk.. The heck.. Haha.. Ingt kan nk tukar floating type dah mcm kat oversea..harga 150k tp buruk mcm tu... Vios punye pun lg lawa..
mana lebih penting comfort atau laju..laju shaja bukan menjamin sesebuah kereta itu bagus.kereta cina masih jauh klu nak lawan bab handling..dan comfort
This would be excellent with a 6 speed manual and the 2AR-FE, Toyota's 2.5L 4 cylinder. 180 naturally aspirated horsepower in a Corolla would be perfect, I think. The CVT is just fine for the 1.8, but the 2.5 makes way too much torque for me to be comfortable with them pairing it to a torque sensitive transmission like a CVT.
Hi i go test drive gr sport twice, quite impressive, when cross the speed bump the car dont shake much and make me feel uncomfortable. If compare with g spec, is the drive and handling feeling different a lot?
There few levels of GR unfortunately 😅 if there is a Sport after GR, it’s just a cosmetic changes, nothing sort “sport”, if the car’s name is after GR, now that’s a Tuned Car (GR Yaris, GR Corolla)
The Corolla GR Sport, as seen here, features uprated suspension, retuned brakes & throttle control unit, and additional chassis bracing for improved rigidity. So no, it's not "just a cosmetic change[s]" as you suggest.
@@Jerrytan188 the only thing I like is the double wishbone.. Even the side door compartment also lame... Engine is old.. Not even dynamic force engine.. With this old engine,, price range 120-130k acceptable la..
I would take a used Camry, the facelift one with the new 2.5 DFE.. Needless to say, Camry is using the new DFE (Corolla older engine) and 8 speed torque converter (Corolla CVT). In terms of spirited driving, 8AT will be more reliable than CVT..

98% of the people ain't driving like their Lewis Hamilton on the road.@@charlesdegaulle2928
@@charlesdegaulle2928It depends to the person who drive. If the person dare not to drive fast, even give you Lamborghini also slower than Honda city

I salute your mentality.
Well done... great review and comparisons with other competitors

Corolla with a fake GR badge .what can this 138bhp do?
There is the GR, and then there is GR Sport.
Just like there was TRD and then there was TRD Sportivo.
@@fauzanriez9472 the new s 90 will eat this corolla for breakfast 🥞

0-100 pun 9 10 saat eat apanya lain la kalau 0-100 6 saat. Handling pun kelaut@@pudingaomar6341

Hi! Just would like to know that between Toyota Corolla GR Sport and Toyota Corolla Altis G Spec; which one should buy ya?
Sleek elegant looking car shame it's not being given a hot new turbo engine in the gr sport got.Comon toyota you got that engine put it in pls.
For this facelift version, anyone using honor phone? Are you able to connect to the android auto?
The quintessential sporty sedan for the Malaysian uncle😂
Easter Egg: Crotch coolers. nice one there lol hahaha
spot on, wonderfully balanced
What are the difference between the 2 models ya?
想看 corolla altis gr sport
Very weird. I'm considering this right now. Over everything else in the segment. 😂
Drive it. Then it won't feel so weird. Don't worry, Aiman was also in a similar situation. Thankfully he still can't afford one.

Like night and day.
hi. will this GR modal come with hybrid?
Thanks
No.
Yes, if you live in Thailand....
When uncles dye their hair black and want a GR sport instead of a regular Altis
i have driven my Sister in law corolla and it so plush and confortable. i have never driven car like this before

Returned suspension. It still sport.
From the perspective of pure driving pleasure , this Corolla or Mazda 3 ?
The Corolla GR Sport.
@@MalaysianMotoringWHOA. 😮
The chunky bezel on Centre infotainment looks cheap.
You don't see it when you drive and you never interact with it. We don't see issue with it being there.
Kan buruk gila... Torture to the eyes..
