the more you watch about them the more you want
Might have to enter thatDream Car Giveaways must have 1 coming up for raffle, they posted a photo of 1 being delivered earlier.
Did you see how well it did against the fk8. Carwow tested the pair together and although it was wet, providing
4wd biased conditions, it did phenomenally well. I still don't want one though....I want a GR Corolla in 2023.
Did ok but when u look at how the the gp3 mini got on and they are a bout the same price, makes the mini look a bargainDid you see how well it did against the fk8. Carwow tested the pair together and although it was wet, providing

Yes purely from a practicality aspect being a bit bigger etc and do prefer the looks or the new corolla too despite them and the Yaris sharing similar lines. Wonder will the weight difference be that great?.Heavier car with the same drivetrain? I'd imagine the yaris to be much more fun. But then I suppose the Corolla will be more practical?
I think the only thing this car shares with the Yaris are the front and rear lights and maybe few other things, there's little to no Yaris in it of the base model! A £50k golf or A3 has a lot of the same parts as a the base model I'd imagine!.Can't imagine paying £33k+ for a Yaris - probably a number of years ago people thought the same about Golf's and A3's, etc... and now some of them are starting at £50k
Practicality was never in the design brief. It was built as a homologation special until Covid changed the rules and that is why it's so ****ing awesome. If you need space in the back and want all the latest creature comforts then this car isn't for you.My issue is its not exactly the practical hot hatch for the average family with kids like the competition has to offer. That's my biggest gripe with it. In my mind it's for a young lad / lady with no family still soul searching for the perfect life / career whilst driving a cool car. What 35-40 year old family man is going to buy that and feel like a legend.
It's not really a Yaris though, is it? Think of it more like a GT86 or MX5 rival as a full fat version of one of those is a similar price to the standard GR4, then think of how much more special the GR4 is.Can't imagine paying £33k+ for a Yaris - probably a number of years ago people thought the same about Golf's and A3's, etc... and now some of them are starting at £50k
Saw one at the weekend, pretty rare but cool looking wee thingSome nice shots from Evo's Car of the Year article/shoot, Yaris behaving like a hooligan just as it should

Hurst's Toyota in Newtownabbey have one; when you see it sitting beside a normal Yaris it hardly even looks like it's based on the same car - it is FAT/PHAT
