Driving The Toyota GR Yaris On One Of The Best Roads In The UK!

The GR Yarus to many is just another Toyota, but to people like you and me it is a rally car for the road. Hello and look what I have on the channel, finally a Toyota gr yarus and this has been requested by some of you. here you go, I've come to the party, big thanks to Brooklyn too for lending us the car and look, we're the perfect playground for this car in North Wales and we're going to take advantage of it to enjoy the old blast on the road. I'm Axani and welcome to Drive Plus, so first we'll start with the look of the GS and you know, I'll compare it to Danny DeVito, small, cute but angry at the same time, and then like us. come to the side profile who am I going to compare the side profile to now Kim Kardashian maybe you know look how big those hips are actually I say hips definitely Shakira but speaking of the wheels too, these are Evo of course and they have posted by Brooklyn definitely match the personality of this Speck rally car and when we get to the back of the car I'm going to compare this to the look of Mr Incredible, he has an eye mask that wraps around the taillights, now he has a improved exhaust system. that Brooklyn has installed, it's a miltech non-resonant C exhaust, so it sounds something like, ah, driver, can you turn off the traction control and try again for a three cylinder that sounds really, really good and let's check the trunk.

G because this gives you 174L of boot space, which is quite small. I don't know if there's much room in it. I was wondering where you went, yeah that's where we put the owner of the cars when we check them right? comfortable yes, yes, yes, it is comfortable, let's take a look inside the car. Let's start with these seats with a lot of grip, thanks to the Alcantara on it, you have a hard time moving in these seats and now you have an embroidery on the headrest. The Alcantara touches continue throughout thanks to Brooklyn's modifications, you have the gear knob which is Alcantara and the steering wheel too and the like, the balanced touches as well as the build quality and use of materials are a mixed bag.

I like the suede here. but hey it's Toyota, at the end of the day there are some hard plastics but I guess hard plastic saves weight and you have the badge down here that says developed for the FIA ​​World Rally Championship there aren't many cars you can get with that. plate today, two couplers, storage wise it's pretty good, you get a bit of a shelf, another shelf, you also get your glove box, which pretty good sized door compartment is not a bad size, the ergonomics are not good either , you don't have an armrest but on the right side that's fine too, the infotainment screen is 8, you also get Apple carplay and Android auto as standard and it's really very easy to use, it's not much different to your usual years, but a everyone likes the weather.

The control buttons are also super easy, so I'm very happy with that. Let's check the engine under the hood of the G is the world's most powerful production three-cylinder engine, 1.6L, 200, 157 horsepower, and they say it will run. 60 in about 5.5 seconds, let's find out, so let's throw the gr from no to 6. The book says 5 and 1 half seconds, but Brooklyn has given us some interesting modifications, so let's see if that makes a difference on your screen . Now there are the statistics. and also the G and P figures for weight ratio. I'm going to use a specialized timing gear, the Pro racing box, so the traction is what we have 5.17, yes that's faster than Toyota says.

Toyota, why don't you hire me? Make your Note 60. I always go faster than the book says. It's strange, isn't it? Anyway, I'm happy with it, it's much faster than the book says. Brooklyn, your edits have made a difference, so you'll be glad. mate anyway back to the review but to really test this car's capabilities I thought I'd bring it here in North Wales, home to many of the UK's

best

country

roads

and home to some glorious corners which is what gis loves. Corners, yes. Also look at this good sound. Toyota has produced a car for around £30,000 that can really rival a Supercar.

You have to be a great driver to escape one of these, but it's just not like that in Mo Fly. It doesn't go away no matter how hard you try, unless I have a newspaper here, but it's very snappy and fun, but I really want to know what the engine feels like because it's a conversation piece: a three-cylinder but 260 horsepower. In a car that weighs just under 1.3 tonnes it's a riot, it feels incredible and the sound sounds very, very good too. The fact that Brooklyn obviously made the upgraded exhaust, which is definitely a worthwhile modification on these cars and Toyota.

I also claim that this power plant this engine is the most powerful production three-cylinder engine in the world. Yes, that's very, very impressive, but the looks of these cars just fit the road so well. Don't you think so? It looks so aggressive from the front and the size ratio of this car also takes you somewhere like this to your playground in North Wales manual gearbox four wheel drive play with the setup Toyota knows how reaching the heart of an enthusiast the gis gets a full-time all-wheel drive system, you get three modes to choose from: normal Sport and track, each mode shifts power delivery to front and rear track mode is 50 /50 sport is 3070 rear biased and normal is a 60% split 6040.

I've been playing with the front wheels with this car's setup in sport mode. I think it's better for the road. I like it. I like a car with rear tilt and that's the feeling. I like that it pushes you around the bend as we go. We go here in track mode, obviously, it's much better here on the CU track. You have that 50/50 split Toyota, obviously, you know what they're doing as a driver's car. I don't think there is a better hatchback on the market. Really Toyota, it just seems like it. To do everything right, the steering field is perfect and the brakes are immense.

It has the Circuit package, which means you get the upgraded brakes from the Convenience package. If you're thinking about getting a GS, I'd 100% recommend the Track Pack because you simply get so much more than the Convenience Pack, it really is the perfect British B-Road Smasher. Our

roads

are getting worse day by day so

driving

something like this makes it that much better because this car has been made to deal with potholes and loose gravel, it's a rally car at the end of the day remember but I think and here it is where you guys really need to listen to me.

I think what the British government should do is instead of fixing the problems they should give us all people to complain about potal to giis and we will be done with our day because this car combats that problem so Rishi sunak or could have changed to so please hear me out, but uh Brooklyn, I'm going to miss all the potles because your evil wheels are really pretty and I don't want to damage them, although the right rim is a very good choice, friend, PS4 s, the fact that this car also gives you It offers four wheel drive, look, let's attack this Cor at full speed, that's cool, the fact that it has such a short wheelbase, you just drop it into gear, attack the corner and it's like it has a rope tied to the corner and just turns like you like what was that, yeah, this car is really awesome, okay?

Let's say, but what are the disadvantages? Well, it's very difficult to choose something bad from something really good. I love Toyotas, especially the Land Cruiser, but if I were honest, that's a lot of money for a Yarus badge, but once you drive one, it instantly becomes irrelevant and okay, yeah, it's not very attractive inside, but the Simple interiors work and I'll be honest, when Toyota first revealed the Yaris, I really thought about a three-cylinder hot hatch and it's a Yaris that's going to buy one of them. I was wrong when you look at the homologated cars over the years MIT Evo subu and petza where are they now they are in the past and if we really want to compare this with previous homologated cars Lancia Delta integral yes this is a modern Lancia Delta integrally it is a homologated car and the fact that the GI has more power and is 40 kilos lighter also M is very, very surprising, so if you have one of these, hold on to it because it already is. a modern classic, we just know when a car is released, yes that's a classic and in 30 to 40 years your reaction to seeing the elancia delta integral will be the same as when you see a lancia delta from the irs and gr it looks better.

However, and I truly believe that Toyota needed this car. I think they've been out of that for a while in terms of performance cars because they have that ear where they were focused on hybrid cars like the Prius, but now when you look at the lineup. now you have the gr Yaris, you have the gr Corolla, which we don't have, which is really very annoying, then you have the gr86, the Supra, which is being discontinued and also the gr lanre. I don't think we have it. neither does the country, but you know what Toyota? I absolutely love you if anyone asks me my second favorite manufacturer after BMW is Toyota mainly because of the Land Cruiser but my love for the Land Cruiser has rubbed off on my love for Toyota you are one hell of a manufacturer and if you are thinking of buying a giis, please please please go and buy it you won't be disappointed this is an amazing car it just goes to show that you don't need a big engine to have it. funny, thanks so much to Brooklyn for lending me the car today, thanks so much buddy, what a car you've made, you know the modifications you've made, you've added your own touch to it and yeah, you should be proud of what you've done. built, it's a really good car and it dries perfect, it really is mate anyway.

I'd like you to click the Subscribe button and I'll see you next week. Comment if you like giis. I'm pretty sure I will. you'll be a little surprised if you don't and we will uh yeah we'll see about it next week thanks guys see you later
