I Bought a GR Corolla! - My First Thoughts

Is this a scenario of "don't meet your heroes"? I've been daydreaming over this seemingly mundane hatchback... but haven't had the opportunity to drive one. Decided to take the plunge and bring you guys along for the ride!

I’ve had mine for 17 months now and absolutely love it.

As a GR Corolla owner I can confirm two things: 1. It’s crazy fun. 2. Yes…in decel the exhaust has crazy bass lol.

Anything GR gets the tick of approval.
In an era when enthusiast cars are rare, you gotta celebrate anything like this that carries that motorsport spirit.

We have the exact car you have (white Circuit edition) and the first thing you have to change is the tires. Put 265/35-18 Bridgestone RE71R tires on it. Align it with zero toe front and rear, -3 camber front and -2 camber rear. To get it to rotate in stock form, inflate rear tires to 65 psi. Also, you have not shut off all the nannies yet-turn on rev matching, press GR Track, then Sport mode then push AND HOLD the traction control button until "Expert" disappears from the dash-then you have nannies turned off

You press down on the knob for 50/50, spin the dial to the right for 70R/30F, and sping the dail to the left for 40R/60F
Eagerly awaiting all future episodes on this car, Congrats! and thanks for providing this content

There actually is a specific break in for the car. 291 miles for brakes, 691 for engine. Have fun! I have been loving mine.

As a GR Corolla owner, it's gonna be so awesome to see more content on this from you 🙌🔥🔥

15:26 It's pretty funny how it genuinely sounds like a bass drop. 😂

[Criscitiello]

Collete's Veloster over there looking like it wants a shot at the Corolla 😂

[Noahph]

Definitely some track days in the GR Corolla

[paulbhager]

From a corolla owner, this is something I didn't think I would see on your channel, but damb it, im so happy I am!

[aquapwnt]

I bought one of these in January, and as a first time manual car for myself its beyond fun. cant wait to see the future build videos

[andyp]

You’re one of the reasons I got into cars and ended up buying a GR Corolla. I’m PUMPED to see this!

[WigneyR]

3:14 not me thinking the roof just had dirty rainwater all over it 😂

[ajc]

Track mode is a 50:50 torque split. Also I have been enjoying mine.

[simondehaas]

The boys in the UK build GR Yaris's into nasty 500+whp machines with sequentials. I think you should do the same, along with some good suspension and tire setups that might make this thing incredible. Awd drifts and all

[jimmyKwrx]

I love it when Adam does attainable cars, not many of us can afford a Porsche. This and the rally WRX are nice to see on the channel.

[GRCorolla]

Hold down traction button to turn off expert mode - might help for the skids!

[Generalusuer]

You can tell chelsea is rubbing off Through the enthusiasm from talking about suspension geometry

Two things:
1: always heat your vinyl before removal; it helps the adhesive come off with it.
2: I am STOKED you got a GR Corolla! I’ve been in love with them since day one, and I loved the review and can’t wait to see more!
3 (bonus): ALWAYS LIKE THE VIDEOS YA NERDS
