Awesome to collab with you guys again! The FL5 was the clear winner for me but a few days later after thinking about it, I feel like there is a real case for the GR Corolla if you live in a snowy climate. Great cars, both!

I’ve had my gr corolla for 8 months now. Absolutely loving it. GRC ftw

[malcolmar]

Awesome! I own and love my FK8 Honda Civic Type R but the fact that both the GR Corolla and Honda Civic Type R are being made and are on sale in 2023 is something to not be taken for granted and is a big win for car enthusiasts everywhere. Thanks for the video.

As a Type R keeps my eye on the GR corolla is because it is the "right size" car. Type R is just way too big for "compact sport" class.

Oh! Tsukuba Skyline!
It makes me so nostalgic!
About 20 years ago, I used to drive my old WRX here over nights.
How long it’s been, I’ve started to feel like driving my A45s here “safely”.🤣

Getting my ctr in weeks tossing it up with the GR. Very happy with my decision

[TheCaesarChris]

Well done! Again unique insights, you guys are getting better and the flow of this one was noticeably better than the last!

[toocamcivic]

Getting excited, my gr will be leaving Japan this week. Can’t wait.

Very good comparison. I've had my GRC for a few months and its become one of my favorites already in 40 years of driving

[chasinglimits]

I’m glad to see the CTR got cleaned up from the previous model, wayyyy too many fake vents, etc. This gen looks very clean. I personally went for the GRC and main reason was the AWD and that it’s more of a hatchback style look instead of sedan. Both great cars though.

How many people were surprised the Type R came out with the higher score in the end? Not many i guess.

Looks like a beast.

Albo! Great stuff. My first car was a 1990 Toyota Corolla GTi 🤣

[iJakku]

I'm curious how the corolla would compare with equal width tires and wheels.

[axeya]

Great review on 2 great performance cars at pretty much the same price.

[AKLAU]

Nice to see Albo collab on this one! Personally my pick would also be the Civic as I was brought up on the FF layout. Once you’re moving the AWD advantage starts to wash off and then becomes more of a hindrance in my opinion, unless you’re on low friction terrain of course, then AWD is worth its weight 👌

I wish they put in a little more effort into the GR-C's interior for the Circuit edition to make it more distinct from the Core, and compete better with the FL5. I can't complain though cause the GR-C core in the US starts at $35k and with options barely touches $40k, which IMO is the perfect spot for a Hot Hatch. The FL5 is a bit too pricey at $43-45k. IMO if you're gonna save $$ and try to stay under $40k: get the GR-C core, and if you are looking at the Circuit get the FL5 instead! Great review 👏👏

[sawd]

Still can't believe the US received the Evo, STi, Focus RS, GR Corolla and Civic Type R. All of which are the best and final and best versions of these cars. Just nuts..

[rodbriones]

I have been looking into purchasing one of these cars. Im leaning into the GRC since its AWD. But damn I CTR looks better and clean for me. I wish it was AWD. Hopefully i see a build in a year or 2 on an AWD CTR lol

[CodeBonYT]

Your gauges suggest you tested the GRC in normal mode. Sport mode is very different. Quite an oversight.

[tinlee]

How would you compare between the FL5 and the Elantra N?
