@@MrGWAMPO in F1, a second of difference is massive; like few 100 metres massive. But at the speeds these cars are going at, a second might be more like tops 30 metres??
Why didnt you drive another lap with the GR Yaris under the exact same conditions and compare the R's time with the GR time from last year? Makes no sense for me....sorry.
If the Golf has a 0-60 time of over 1 sec better than the Yaris, and that the test was conducted from standstill maybe the Yaris still has a better chassis by being less than a second slower around the lap. Great review still
Im Yaris GR fanboy, but I must admit that Golf 8 R is really impressive considering that it is family car with 4 seats and doors, without fancy 4wd system. It has simpler 4wd system than Yaris GR... Yaris GR is purpose build car and sharing very little with regular Yaris, while Golf R is base on regular Golf. Anyway good test.
So then in the bigger scheme of things, the golf isn't any faster. If you slap it with a manual transmission and remove the extra power, we may have a different story altogether.
Love Ash's driving technique, the constant steering pull on the turns, marvelous control. Ciro definitely had fun, reminiscent of the good ol' days of rally watching.
Unfortunately, the Federal Exhaust Gas Fun Ban Ordinance (BABVVO) and Transport Tourism Emission Restriction Federal Ordinance (TEBBVO) will soon ban driving combustion engines in public outside of proven commuter trips and transport trips, because then exhaust gas fun WILL be a traffic offense!!!!!!

1 Sec. for almost double the value on the price tag, VW sucks.... 😑 That leaves enough money for tuning and the Yaris flies away....Sec. for nearly double pricetag
Just remember the yaris was developed for WRC... not track racing. It's like a Subaru Wrx sti. If you want to do a track comparison, try the civic type r vs the golf 8R
This was very impressive. I may not be a VW fan, but...that looked indeed quite fast. Well, at least, in my eyes. These always make for great viewing. I am eagerly awaiting the Toyota Corolla GR times as well. Thank you for the superb content.
Great video. As mentioned by others i think the 1 sec would have come down to the launch and DSG, timing the 2nd flying lap would have been a more accurate comparison. And one would expect the GR Corolla to be slower being almost 300kg heavier than the GR Yaris with exact same drivetrain, but would still be fun to see :)
The golf 8 is the biggest flop in golf history.... Should be the 1 to collect then 🤣🤣 notice how golf 3 gti are so rare.. They cost more than golf 5 Gti's 😂
On back roads and tarmac rallying the Yaris will win hands down but both equally good cars in depending what you want out of a car. Great 👍 video comparison guys. Cheers.
Manual GR Yaris being slower just under 1 second is a great achievement compared to the Golf 8R, considering the fact that the Golf 8R has DSG and much more power and is much more expensive. Well done Toyota 💪
@@nhojadnab383 its not R Line, its just R. R Line is a design package for a regular Golf. With that said, the Golf R is not a track performance car, the GR Yaris is built ground up for track use
Both are great cars and I doubt less than 1 second between the two measured from a phone says much. Golf R is definitely track focused despite what others say - everything done to it over the "family" golf are to make it better on track, whether it uses the same platform or not. What do people think the R is for? What I take from this test is they're very well matched despite their differences so it makes choosing either one easier when you prioritise other aspects (like a manual gearbox, or more bootspace...)
lol spoken like someone who has never owned one and probably cant afford too i own an R, best car ive owned and driven by quite a long way and ive owned all kinds :)
Really hot the new GTI R except the price... Would be interesting if VW offered a 'Track' spec option of the new GTI Jacara to loose some weight & hopefully drop the price a bit further e.g. no back seats, maybe 2 door set up, a 6 speed manual, extra torsion bar front and back, delete the innovision cockpit & centre media set up, manual aircon and possibly an overboost option...
Is this what it’s come to comparing a golf R to a GR Yaris that really says a lot about how powerful that little Yaris is Just Waiting patiently now for the GR corrolla to put that R in its place
dealers are marking up full spec gr yaris for 30k less then full spec golf r (wich is the price of 2 base gr yaris for 1 golf r) and msrp is still 20k cheaper
@@MAH-id3sx This Golf R owner happily admits that the Yaris GR is a brilliant car but I bet the Corolla GR will dance rings around it and give the Golf R a much harder time.
@@neilmcguinness4422 Not hating on your car. Actually owned a polo Gti and would like to get another 1. It's just some people hating on the toyota just because it has the a yaris badge.
I think the GR is the better car of the 3 in terms of performance. If it had an automatic transmission we would be talking a different story. 1 second win is not impressive at all. I honestly expected the golf R to win by 5 seconds or more
Using your logic, a stripped out Golf R without sunroof, heated and ventilated seats and other creature comforts that are not found in a GR Yaris would be 20 seconds faster. Bottom line is the Golf R is a semi-luxurious hot hatch that is faster than a basic econobox GR Yaris, period.
Stripped out😂😂 Ofcourse the Golf R should be faster. It has more kw and torque and it's dsg. The yaris is not stripped out. You sound like a heartsore vw fanboy.
@@MAH-id3sx So, you're telling me the Yaris has sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, phone charging pad and mood lighting? Yeah, didn't think so. The Yaris is as basic as it gets. BTW, I'm no VW fanboy (never owned any VW products) but I call it the way I see it. Stripped out like the Yaris and the Golf R will be way faster is my point.
You forgot to mention that the Golf r has 4 exhaust tips and not 2 like the Yaris making the golf heavier. If the golf also had 2 exhaust tips it would make it 25 seconds faster than the Yaris...
Manual GR Yaris vs DSG Golf R just under a sec faster.....shows how good the GR Yaris is
Plus how many extra kw in the golf?
Lmao no it doesn't, a second is really slow in racing and everyone knows it.
Not to mention the power difference bro...damn u GR Yaris!!
@@MrGWAMPO in F1, a second of difference is massive; like few 100 metres massive. But at the speeds these cars are going at, a second might be more like tops 30 metres??
GR Yaris lighter than Golf and It is solely focused of racing. Shows how good the golf is.
the VW is a far better looking car too and i dont even like the mk8 that much
yaris looks like it belongs on a maccy Ds carpark on a sunday night lol
Why didnt you drive another lap with the GR Yaris under the exact same conditions and compare the R's time with the GR time from last year? Makes no sense for me....sorry.
Yaris GR all day, every day. Gonna be a classic collector's car, not like the Golf R.
Considering the GR Yaris is a manual and Golf R is an automatic i say the GR Yaris is properly fast.
A nice stick on the open road is tons more fun than paddles
I just love the Yaris GR 😌🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
If the Golf has a 0-60 time of over 1 sec better than the Yaris, and that the test was conducted from standstill maybe the Yaris still has a better chassis by being less than a second slower around the lap. Great review still
I was about to post the same ! on the second lap the yaris should be faster !
Great point. Maybe flying lap, the Yaris can match it.
Its a dual clutch DSG and Yaris is manual. I'm sure when you match it with Manual Golf R the story would be different
The GR has a much better 0-60 that Toyota states. Itl run 4.6 in stock form, nearly a second quicker than advertised time 👌
@@relentlesspursuit6894 I guess it didn’t do that in this test then

Also with 35kw more and auto box. So with that in mind, it's not a big deal.

After it's all been said and done, the winner is........ VW Golf R!
if you want to pay over 20k to lower a laptime for 1 second go for it!
If Toyota put in a 2L engine, then it was game over for VW
its because of wrc regulations

i think that second goes to the automatic dsg. i would bet that the gr has a faster time then a manual golf r on track
Ashley is one heck of a driver 👍👏
Why do a laptime from a standing start though🤔 any other hot hatch lap times for a better reference point????
Goes to prove once again the amazing car one gets with the GR Yaris... amazing little weapon.
The golf is doing 60mph a full second before the Yaris anyway no? Surely time it from the second lap
Nice comparison, it would be interesting to add the Leon Cupra. Anyway, a Yaris with a three-cylinder and a manual is incredibly fast.
Why compare a DSG and a manual from a standing start???
The new Honda Civic Type R FL5 will be ready to destroy this lot.
the audi RS3 will be faster
thanks to the new dif
Only thing I got here is that the golf is overrated
1 Sec. for almost double the value on the price tag, VW sucks.... 😑
That leaves enough money for tuning and the Yaris flies away....Sec. for nearly double pricetag
Das Auto❤️🔥
And who thought of the day that a Yaris will be competing against a Golf R.
its light strip down 4wd rally spec yaris for street (which probably is much better for this kind of track than bigger and heavier golf). play fair
The GR Yaris eats a manual Golf R for lunch. The GR Corolla would do the same.
Just remember the yaris was developed for WRC... not track racing. It's like a Subaru Wrx sti. If you want to do a track comparison, try the civic type r vs the golf 8R

I doubt we will get the GR Corolla maybe a once off press car like that GRMN Yaris, chances are slim.

Yerrrr,how does Ciro pronounce Xebekga so well,I'm Pedi and I'm still struggling to pronounce that name,LOL
you can clearly see the difference between a crap chassis (the vw) and a good chassis (the Toyota).
impressive what?! the gr yaris have 70 cv less than golf R... so 1 second faster isnt impressive!
Considering the Golf R is a 55-60k € car, so 15k more expensive s the Yaris, the R has to be quicker than the GTI
Different day, can't compare LAPTIMES.
Exceeded track limits on the final corner. F1 says that's a 5 sec penalty.

Manual v automatic, I will take the manual everytime.
yaaris better engineering with 3 piston only
Comparing a GR Yaris to a Golf R is just testiment about how good the GR Yaris is. ot punches far above it's weight in terms of engine size

Why? Yaris would get destroyed.
A flying lap would be more accurate to take the launch equation out of it.

It took the big brother to dethrone the Yaris but now I'm hoping we will be getting the GR Corolla soon and let's see what happens then.
The Corolla MORIZO edition should easily eat the VW
See the video from throttle House
The Corolla still loses. No comparison. In fact no one even got a better 0-60 time than 5.4 seconds which is abysmal for a 300 hp hatch

Where’s the Yaris? 🙃 interesting shoot out with only one car on the same track conditions
