NEW Toyota Yaris GR Review: Worth The HYPE? 4K

[jaydub]

ROAR-y needs a raise... He's putting out some of the best Automotive Journalism for the average consumer on YouTube. AND HE WALKED FROM TOP GEAR!!??!! How cray is that? Wish you all the best man

[lowkeysoundsystem]

Never thought I'd be interested in a Yaris, but here we are.

[glennerz]

I love Rory's passion and the way he articulates the driving experience, but there are a number of things he mentions about this car that should be corrected - the price starts at £30k not £33k (£33k not £36k for the Circuit Pack), the gear lever is raised 50mm (not 10mm), the normal driving mode is 60% front-biased (not rear) and the roof line is up to 95mm lower (not 195mm). Also Toyota had to build 25, 000 (not 2500) examples for WRC homologation.

That "Take my money" moment. LMAO 😂😂

[OlyMar]

Have owned this car for a week and it’s absolutely awesome! Freeway, twisties, school drop offs, any situation.

[heidemu]

“i dono I call that plastic” ...good one lol

[hasantopcu]

Rory, In normal mode it’s 60% to the front and 40% to the rear*

[aswinprasad]

No one:
Literally no one:
Car reviewer: This GR Yaris is the most overhyped
Me: Shut-up and Take my Money!

[superthierry]

Finally a hot hatch with a handbrake and a manual gear ⚙️ stick..

[alengreen]

best small Hot Hatch car of the World for country roads and race tracks.

[matthijs]

I’ve got one and trust me it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it! I’ve driven it on a proper rally track already and it holds up so well and even goes sideways when you want to!

[kilove]

And that's why I sub this channel..it's just so honest..real..down to earth..and this dude is just Mega..👏👏👏💯

[toninocars]

If you calling Mercedes a class and golf a hot hatch, then Yaris is a class above and it’s real rally car for the everyday driver, not a family car and not a kitchen appliance which the first two are. 👍🚗 Best car enthusiasts toys of last 10 years .

[xlyfpck]

Small correction, normal mode is 60% to front, not rear

[uierzalfmj]

This is not a supermini this is a hypermini, absolutely epic

[dumanimjo]

Kinda reminds me of the Fiesta ST that EVERYONE loved. But this is like the RS version

[JYMAHJAMES]

autotrader & Rory been killing it recently with these reviews

[popsbubbles]

the hype comes from the fact all car manufactures have been constricted from producing fun cars due to boring jack asses that hate the car *EU pens pushers
This is a throw back to better days of old, get rid of that info screen, lower the seat, make a smaller mirror and make the 4 wheel drive system 100% switchable front or rear biased. PERFECTION

[skap-jrig]

Rory, I say it on every video you guys put out - you're awesome pal and so engaging to watch.

[mcclary]

Can get cars anywhere on YouTube. But there's only one Rory.
