HKS just made an exhaust for the GR Yaris and it does improve the sound compared to the stock one (granted the stock exhaust was build to follow the emissions standards hence the quiet sound)
it just shows how much that Yaris was meant for rally from its quick acceleration, good grip and good brakes. Also how its high top speed isn't so great and lost the civic.
@T D Drag races are bias towards AWD cars and FWD just can't compete, especially in the wet. In a rolling start (in the dry) the CTR would win. Check the Nürburgring times... the CTR is much quicker than the Yaris GR, it laps 12 seconds quicker...that's quite a difference but I still really like the Yaris GR, it's a cracking car.
@T D Roundabouts? What about corners? I mean it's horses for courses, if you rather a small nimble car then it's the Yaris obviously. If you rather a larger, more practical car then it's the Honda.
@@Monkiimagic As the commenter's previous point alludes to they're two different beasts that excel in their own areas. Either could trounce the other given the conditions so it depends on what you value. No doubt it'll suffer in the rolling races, being geared for rallying the final drive suffers and so it loses it's puff in higher speeds. Still impressive for what it is and how close it still was. It is a cracking car and so is the CTR, they're really top class. I think on the track any circuit that can avail of performance in the 60-120+ range will cede advantage to higher powered rivals. That said, one journo made a point on its 'off-the-line' party trick which is fun however you cut it with it's 0-30 being 1.48s. Faster than an Audi TT RS, Ferrari 488, Lambo Urus, Honda NSX, McLaren 570 and any model 3. I don't know the veracity of these claims since they're far-fetched, where the data is from and under what conditions. It's quite a thing say but even if it was all false and in striking distance - and it is unholily rapid off the line for what it is.

Sadly the 2020 car is a no go due to WRC technical changes requiring a hybrid spec vehicle I believe. Toyota have said if the demand is there, they won't just meet but exceed their 25k production build order.
1. Why would you do this test on a wet track? 2. Why would you put the type r in comfort mode during the roll race? What information was being relayed to the viewer?
@@car-enthusiast3141 They actually aren ... there's information out there that supports what I am telling you. The companies do a lot to maintain their image of reliability but we have had 2 Toyota's and a Honda die in my family. An Acura TL from 2003 when they had weak transmissions, a 2008 RAV4 which through a rod and it turned out had an engine that was prone to having issues, and a 2006 Corolla which died even after taking it in multiple times. A brand does not make a car reliable, and this is why you have cars under each brand that are great and some that you should stay away from.
looks like Matt is thrashing the Type R because Honda factory is gone from England to Japan and that is why the test was on wet road so the FWD Honda looses to AWD Toyota, sorry Matt but I don't like manipulation
Love both cars but think Civic is a better buy to run daily. It’s larger and more practical, cheaper and I’d say faster in the dry. I would imagine if you were going to hold onto it though I think the residuals will be better on the Yaris given how unusual it is.
Makes a huge difference. I dragged my csr against a friend and beat him by two cars. Because it was an easy win, another friend hopped in my car to record. He is 6'3 260 lbs. I got beat by 3 cars. Go figure! Weight is no joke.
They are not identical cars my friend. Civic is in a higher class than Yaris, Civic is in the same class as the Corolla. The Yaris is in the same class as the Honda City. FYI
this makes me excited for the GR Corolla to be released. it would be a direct competitor to the type r civic and i have no doubt it would put it to shame

This is no test of these two , they are both about corners not drag races - but- 4WD is a big advantage in standing. starts and wet conditions. But despite the hype the regular model Type R is every bit as good to drive as the Yaris , a fabulous chassis, superb damping, gearchange, steering and brakes. Its also roomy and practical , much more so than the Yaris which is a toy by comparison. No reason to think the new FL1 Type R is not going to be at least as good , probably better so good luck Toyota - The Civic was the boss right to the end , AMG, VW, Renault, Cupra , Hyundai N, - all second best to the mighty Honda,
@@supernerdman55 I agree, but that's not the point: in a manual car, the driver has to be good, where as in an auto, it doesn't have to at all, he just needs to be able to floor a pedal. Also, paddles are just destroying the perfection of an auto gearbox.
Only in England is it acceptable to do a drag race comparison in the rain. Of course, if they actually waited for a sunny day, they'd only get off three races a year.
It’ll be interesting to see what the difference would be in the Honda’s preferred dry conditions. See if it’s power advantage makes much of a difference then.

You can't go wrong with both cars, but I'd still choose the Civic Type R, because it feels more race-like, and also very practical. Even though it's a sporty car, it's still a practical Honda Civic at the end of the day ~ And for the front-wheel drive, it actually did pretty good during the drag race and it kept up very well with the Yaris.
Yeah I have a GR Yaris coming next year and it being faster than a Type R Civic in the dry from a standing start is not going to happen, it also would have faired worse on the rolling starts as well since the AWD helped out with traction massively. I would be interested to see the pair of them go through a tight twisty course though.
And that's the honda value - you can win IF (insert a lot of condidions here). For a daily driving there is just too many if's - a lot of rainy days, snowy days, foggy and wet days and so on. If you want a fast and RELIABLE car get something with some kind of AWD or at least RWD (rwd would slip as much as FWD but at least you can have some fun with understeer).

I love this generation of Civic so much. I have just the sport model in blue, and its so great... would really love the type R in this video though for sure. Such a badass road car.
I've seen quite a few here in Vancouver, Canada, really cool cars. Though I am planning on getting a GR Corolla next year because of it's AWD would be better in the snowy hills here. And giving Nissan angry looks... Make a new SE-R!

They all seem to have different approaches to how they pipe in the sound these car manufacturers, it would be interesting to know what Toyota do. I've seen a video with a back to back comparison with someone who has launched with it on and launched again disabled. It's surprisingly very similar, I'd say it honestly retains much of the same character but there's a lot of added bass and a thickening of the sound. I went into it expecting less.
with a good 12V battery it would not matter how low the RPM was. If that was the case every yahoo that drove a manual would get messages at some point. Either a software glitch or hardware issue.

@@professorbriancox5858 u def didn’t know that one is fwd tht makes an exponential deficit to the type r and as well as they are stick so sorry but lousy shifts play into this
The type r would win in the dry. Dial out the lack of grip in the wet and remember the 80bhp advantage the Civic has. All wheel drive and a 100kg weight saving is great off the line as torque is the driving factor. Beyond 3rd gear torque fades and horsepower is king. 320bhp plays 260bhp. That said I'd rather have the Yaris. I'm sure its good for a bit of a tune up too! 300bhp isn't beyond the realm of possibility.
That yaris has a huge future classic potential.
Absolutely
Given this is not going to be a limited production and will sell in huge numbers, it will be a long, long time before it becomes a future classic.
Hopefully people will still drive it once it becomes a classic and not keep it in their garages collecting dust.
to be fair the type r does too

@T D Drag races are bias towards AWD cars and FWD just can't compete, especially in the wet. In a rolling start (in the dry) the CTR would win. Check the Nürburgring times... the CTR is much quicker than the Yaris GR, it laps 12 seconds quicker...that's quite a difference but I still really like the Yaris GR, it's a cracking car.
@T D Roundabouts? What about corners? I mean it's horses for courses, if you rather a small nimble car then it's the Yaris obviously. If you rather a larger, more practical car then it's the Honda.
@@Monkiimagic As the commenter's previous point alludes to they're two different beasts that excel in their own areas. Either could trounce the other given the conditions so it depends on what you value. No doubt it'll suffer in the rolling races, being geared for rallying the final drive suffers and so it loses it's puff in higher speeds. Still impressive for what it is and how close it still was. It is a cracking car and so is the CTR, they're really top class.
I think on the track any circuit that can avail of performance in the 60-120+ range will cede advantage to higher powered rivals.
That said, one journo made a point on its 'off-the-line' party trick which is fun however you cut it with it's 0-30 being 1.48s. Faster than an Audi TT RS, Ferrari 488, Lambo Urus, Honda NSX, McLaren 570 and any model 3. I don't know the veracity of these claims since they're far-fetched, where the data is from and under what conditions. It's quite a thing say but even if it was all false and in striking distance - and it is unholily rapid off the line for what it is.
Here's the article if interested:

This proves how good that Yaris is, Honda would obviously have a better lead in the dry but my god that Yaris
Plus with that AWD goodness, I can imagine a few of the lucky people to get this GR Yaris are gonna see how it does off-road.
walter sanchez is it a limited production?
@@NoneNone-kp1qc 25k cars across the world. Toyota only developed this because they needed a street legal variant of their race car for WRC 2020. Sadly the 2020 car is a no go due to WRC technical changes requiring a hybrid spec vehicle I believe. Toyota have said if the demand is there, they won't just meet but exceed their 25k production build order.
Come on Carwow, your subs are still waiting for a video of Yianni and Mat doing a quarter mile running race!
What a great Christmas special,,, in drag of course.... as it's a drag race... :-)
Yianni will win...
Matt will win after tripping him up with the stick of truth 😆
1. Why would you do this test on a wet track?
2. Why would you put the type r in comfort mode during the roll race? What information was being relayed to the viewer?
2:04 こんにちは！ Seen from Japan🇯🇵🇯🇵!!
Type R : Fast
Yaris GR : Faster
Road : Wet
Hotel : Trivago
Lol
Reliability : Heaven.
Cause they’re king in reliability.
@@car-enthusiast3141 They actually aren
... there's information out there that supports what I am telling you. The companies do a lot to maintain their image of reliability but we have had 2 Toyota's and a Honda die in my family. An Acura TL from 2003 when they had weak transmissions, a 2008 RAV4 which through a rod and it turned out had an engine that was prone to having issues, and a 2006 Corolla which died even after taking it in multiple times.
A brand does not make a car reliable, and this is why you have cars under each brand that are great and some that you should stay away from.
@@Osprey1994 anecdotes arent evidence..m
I wish it was dry especially when one of the cars has 4 wheel drive.
Yea but it was down on power so I think it’s fair.
@@joecyr5836 -no it's still not fair. Front wheel drive drag racing in the rain is a complete and utter fail. Even an extra 100 hp wouldn't matter.
@@mikea5205 so what your trying to say is, the Toyota is a better car, because of its all wheel drive.
It was a draw, the Honda won both the rolling races, reading these comments I wonder if anyone watch past the first race?
@@xu10j4rs1 is the drag race the one that really counts.
I went to the mall cut my grass came back in and you guys are still running the quarter mile

Also Mat:**sits in the civic**
That's the new spec type r 2021 edition
lol he has this insufferable NEEEEEEEEED to win payattention, he is the sooorest loser
looks like Matt is thrashing the Type R because Honda factory is gone from England to Japan and that is why the test was on wet road so the FWD Honda looses to AWD Toyota, sorry Matt but I don't like manipulation
Love both cars but think Civic is a better buy to run daily. It’s larger and more practical, cheaper and I’d say faster in the dry. I would imagine if you were going to hold onto it though I think the residuals will be better on the Yaris given how unusual it is.
Do a dragrace with two identical cars but one of them with 5 passengers, intresting to see how much of a diffrence passengers make
that'd be like 400kg on average
Makes a huge difference. I dragged my csr against a friend and beat him by two cars. Because it was an easy win, another friend hopped in my car to record. He is 6'3 260 lbs. I got beat by 3 cars. Go figure! Weight is no joke.
1 passenger even matters
They are not identical cars my friend. Civic is in a higher class than Yaris, Civic is in the same class as the Corolla. The Yaris is in the same class as the Honda City. FYI
Yes because if you go to the track you always make sure you put as many as you can in the car
this makes me excited for the GR Corolla to be released. it would be a direct competitor to the type r civic and i have no doubt it would put it to shame
AWD vs FWD on wet road are you kidding me, still luxurious civic was just about to kick the ass of that yaris suffocation tin can.. HONDA LUXURY AND SPORTS LOVE
Put it to shame? Strong choice of words there considering this a FWD vs AWD ,and the Civic on real word usage still wins
@@nmot97 guess we’ll find out when it unveils
This is no test of these two , they are both about corners not drag races - but- 4WD is a big advantage in standing. starts and wet conditions. But despite the hype the regular model Type R is every bit as good to drive as the Yaris , a fabulous chassis, superb damping, gearchange, steering and brakes. Its also roomy and practical , much more so than the Yaris which is a toy by comparison. No reason to think the new FL1 Type R is not going to be at least as good , probably better so good luck Toyota - The Civic was the boss right to the end , AMG, VW, Renault, Cupra , Hyundai N, - all second best to the mighty Honda,
That Yaris is mighty impressive considering the engine it has.
It has a mighty price to match.
I love when you race this type of cars: they're not as expensive, and they're *manual*
I'm not sure it's a good idea to push on the road when there are constant wild traffic jams. So only auto box for every day
@@ДмитрийЕсин-в6в Yes, but for a race, manual is wayyyyyy better than auto. Though I agree, our car has an auto gearbox
@@ДмитрийЕсин-в6в depends where you live
@@charleydumas5514 lol no it's not, man isn't faster than computer. Auto or paddles are better than stick.
@@supernerdman55 I agree, but that's not the point: in a manual car, the driver has to be good, where as in an auto, it doesn't have to at all, he just needs to be able to floor a pedal. Also, paddles are just destroying the perfection of an auto gearbox.
That Yaris is just a perfect sporty small car.
The rolling races were a lot closer than I thought they would be. I'm so in love with this yaris!
I got bmw m140i and I obliterated one of those Yaris gr few months ago good 6 car lengths on the motorway

こんにちはーーー!!!!
I'm happy to hear that .
The race all 20 year olds were waiting for is here!
good to know im 20 again lolllolol
No 20 year old is buying that Yaris.
Im 20 again.yay
Im 19 and I will never have enough money to buy any of these but atleast I can watch the drag race for free
I'm 20(s).... just about hahah. I'll be ordering one.
Only in England is it acceptable to do a drag race comparison in the rain. Of course, if they actually waited for a sunny day, they'd only get off three races a year.
Imagine if the Yaris had 40 more horsepower
Make it RWD and the parasitic losses saved would make a good part of that lol
Imagine a dry surface.
Someone dynoed the GR @275 hp, so Toyota may be understating factory output.
People are never satisfied smh
Imagine if the civic weighed less too
It’ll be interesting to see what the difference would be in the Honda’s preferred dry conditions. See if it’s power advantage makes much of a difference then.
I'm Japanese.
This showdown is very interesting.
A Japanese wouldn't say that

Should do a race of Japan vs Korean cars. Would love to see how the i30N can beat the Yaris GR!
I actually found myself cheering like it were a sporting event.
That GR Yaris in black looks absolutely stunning. Great looking vehicle from Toyota.
You can't go wrong with both cars, but I'd still choose the Civic Type R, because it feels more race-like, and also very practical. Even though it's a sporty car, it's still a practical Honda Civic at the end of the day ~ And for the front-wheel drive, it actually did pretty good during the drag race and it kept up very well with the Yaris.
So the TypeR is slower on wet Track Start than a AWD - how surprising 😂
Yeah I have a GR Yaris coming next year and it being faster than a Type R Civic in the dry from a standing start is not going to happen, it also would have faired worse on the rolling starts as well since the AWD helped out with traction massively. I would be interested to see the pair of them go through a tight twisty course though.
Civic is better with fwd than awp on wet... yaris is really weak.
@@kubson012 Yeah I don't think you realise that there is 2 different design philosophies between the 2 cars.
@@bob778_6 so you didn't drive but it's coming next year so you know it's faster than a type R? Am I missing something here
@@bob778_6 Just ignore him. He's been blabbering a lot around the comments.
He's almost at 5 mil, let's get him there guys.
Surely in the dry the CTR would win all the races!
Probably, but it looks like a genital wart so no-one buys one.
And that's the honda value - you can win IF (insert a lot of condidions here). For a daily driving there is just too many if's - a lot of rainy days, snowy days, foggy and wet days and so on. If you want a fast and RELIABLE car get something with some kind of AWD or at least RWD (rwd would slip as much as FWD but at least you can have some fun with understeer).

In 20 years lol. Just sucks it's not avail in north America
@@MrBenstero were getting a corolla variant called the GR Corolla

Hi from Japan:)
Don't worry Matt
I subscribed Carwow and Carwow JP😘
That Yaris will be a collector one day. People say it reminds them of the Celica but most forget about the great corolla rally car they had!
GR Corolla
Mat got an absolutely brilliant launch for the notoriously difficult-to-launch Type R, and in the wet! Wow.
If the Yaris sounded like an Abarth, it would be the perfect car.
Just threw a few bucks more and take a new exhaust kit
If it had 3 to 5 more cylinders and carried its engine in a pocket dimension it would be the perfect car. This is more of a glorified go kart.
Abarth it's only big fart...
Not a '' sound ''.
And more sound than speed...
Abarth lol sounds like a washing machine full of bricks.What a fanny's car.
*The only Yaris I want in my life.*
I love this generation of Civic so much. I have just the sport model in blue, and its so great... would really love the type R in this video though for sure. Such a badass road car.
I've seen quite a few here in Vancouver, Canada, really cool cars. Though I am planning on getting a GR Corolla next year because of it's AWD would be better in the snowy hills here. And giving Nissan angry looks... Make a new SE-R!
3 Cylinders !!! That Yaris is pushing hard!!!
We have been waiting for this one! Already know it will be a good video!
Guy in Yaris sounds like he's in an aquarium or something

Sounds like a drag race between me and my dad... Honestly never thought a Yaris could be competing up with Civic eventually.
Wet. in dry it would've been different. Plus, with manual gearboxes, driver's abilities matter the most.
Now honda girls are doubting that matt don't know ho to race. 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

Its funny how u so quick to say toyota plays fake sound thru speakers..the german cars all do that..all crops

They all seem to have different approaches to how they pipe in the sound these car manufacturers, it would be interesting to know what Toyota do. I've seen a video with a back to back comparison with someone who has launched with it on and launched again disabled. It's surprisingly very similar, I'd say it honestly retains much of the same character but there's a lot of added bass and a thickening of the sound. I went into it expecting less.
The way the gr squats down while accelerating is really cool
日本向けのメッセージ嬉しい
The GR Yaris is for sure a future classic
Basically he nearly stalled it, resulting in low 12v battery charging and a warning message...
True
with a good 12V battery it would not matter how low the RPM was. If that was the case every yahoo that drove a manual would get messages at some point. Either a software glitch or hardware issue.
Sounds plausible. There is quite a fine line between over revving the Yaris or stalling it. Due to three cylinders and a light flywheel perhaps 🤔

You need to do a Toyota GR Yaris Vs Hyundai I20 N drag race.

I20N it's no match for Yaris. Type r smash the i30N. So, better, i30N vs Yaris. On wet, I30 doesn't have a chance. On a dry...
I20n ? Just 200hp, Fiesta st territory
The Toyota Yaris GR-Four wins, your welcome.

So what will be the difference??
@@chachasheeda1931 More fair?? Since the Type R doesnt have AWD
@@ctk4949 it will definitely be close
The type r would win in the dry. Dial out the lack of grip in the wet and remember the 80bhp advantage the Civic has. All wheel drive and a 100kg weight saving is great off the line as torque is the driving factor. Beyond 3rd gear torque fades and horsepower is king. 320bhp plays 260bhp. That said I'd rather have the Yaris. I'm sure its good for a bit of a tune up too! 300bhp isn't beyond the realm of possibility.
@@jimmyfarley5581 The Yaris GT would beat it at launch, but the Civic would beat it in speed.
I see Carwow has uploaded, I watch and like!
The Yaris is a little monster tho....will it beat a 2016 evo x or wrx ej25 sti ? On a drag race and rally race ?
Will it beat an evo fq-400,fq-440 mr or Subaru cosworth cs400 ? Ik its unfair lol what about in track times or rallying ? 😆
