I think what often goes un and under-reported about the GR's AWD system is that no matter what mode you put it in, it still operates primarily as a FWD vehicle. Only when the car determines you need it, does it split the torque UP TO the amount selected. So, 30-70 split mode means you can get UP TO that kind of torque split during spirited driving, cornering, etc, but the rest of the time it basically in "fwd" mode. Or at least that's my understanding of this AWD system on this car.
@@osomorose Engineering Explained goes into nice detail about how the GR AWD system works and around the 7:40 mark, he mentions what happens to the clutch packs and by extension the drive wheels, when on a straightaway. ruclips.net/video/EjYrHQ83mbM/видео.html What I find interesting about his explanation is that he says, with authority, "they're not going to overheat and here's why" but since that video and more GR Corolla's have found their way to the track, sure enough, folks are getting forced into FWD mode as the clutch packs ARE overheating.
Yes this is correct. I’m 30:70 it’s not locking the torque distribution. Depending on what the sensors detect, it will send up to a maximum of 70% of the power rearward. It doesn’t lock the power split in like on the electronic differential on the WRX STi.
Could’ve bought a g37x for $7,000 and be even with a Corolla. Turbo it for another 10k max and buy a reliable daily and you’d be farther ahead and would have saved money.

@@ikigai47 the Corolla was available in a hatch before in Europe. As a hot hatch the Corolla works especially with the chassis that was left over from the scion im. The Camry is too big, and they’d have to develop a chassis for the hatch.
1000% not worth the markup. Drove this car multiple times and can conclude it’s BARELY worth its MSRP. Sound system sucks. Interior materials still remind you of the cheaper 25K version of the corolla.
It’s not that great of a car, it’s just good. It’s not even worth MRSP. Maybe because it was so hyped it did not meet my expectations. However, what do I know.
The dealer near me where my sister bought it from just required 2500 in dealer options. She ended up getting their ceramic protection and rust barrier undercoating. Worth it imo. Much better than paying a 10k markup and getting nothing from it
@Ian4bis no it's not BMW are major shit piles total nightmares when it comes to reliability and super complicated over-complicated the original Supra is way better car and any BMW the gr Corolla is where it's at true Toyota
@@davidaix5771 the original Supra is an ugly shitbox, for the price of a new bmw you get a car with 200hp, 0-60 of slow, and the looks of a toddler with a peanut allergy after eating a pb&j
The Corolla is so much better, and more reliable than the sti, which would have to be used. Much better brakes than the current wrx, more umph with the torque. And much better quality inside. I have no experience with the golf so I can’t opine there

That's a sad statement
A car shouldn’t have a mark up since it’s a depreciating thing
I was at a recent Toyota dealer in western pa. They had three GR Corolla’s and all were right at 41k.
No! No car is ever worth the markup.
i agree. the markups on every cars are rlly high rn
This car is around 80k Canadian woah!!! For a corolla??
@@Rajonrondoo99 no not 80k canadian maybe 53k
True. Get Golf R instead with that money
What is markups?

Do you have a source for that? I checked a few articles talking about the GRs system but none of them mentioned this

No new car is worth more than MSRP
It actually on sends up to 70 percent of power to the rear in certain conditions. It’s not locking the power to the rear unfortunately.
and the dude sitting next to you could not hold the phone really?
There is no markup in Nov 2023. Also this RUclipsr flips cars so he’s part of the problem.
Get the base model instead
Until the diff overheats and shuts down after just a few hard corners.
I have started mods on my friends GR Corolla. Done cold air intake, exhaust, just sent ECU out to get tune loaded. Next is intercooler and downpipe.
Rip

Core, $40'5K, this was 2/23. A few dealer add ons but at the time it seemed cheaper than most dealerships (5-10K+)
Buy a cool old Yota. Say an MR2, swap a 2GR into it and it’s a million times more fun than that 3 banger
Love revving out my 2zz to 8500 rpm. But this is still a fun car
No
No, you could buy a Supra for the same amount.
The new Supra is a BMW that has nothing to do with Toyota I would stay far away from that thing

No new STI since '21, Golf R is $$

The answer is no.
The 30/70 split makes the rear differential over heat.
No it’s not worth it.
