2023 Honda Civic Type R vs Toyota GR Corolla // DRAG & ROLL RACE

The 2023 Honda Civic Type R ($50,050 in Canada, $42,895 in the US) is undoubtedly one of the hottest hatches on the market today. But how does it compare in a drag race against the special-edition newcomer, the Toyota GR Corolla Morizo Edition ($59,990 in Canada, $49,990 in the US)? The front-wheel drive Civic Type R has more power and more torque, but the weight-reducing Morizo Edition makes the GR slightly lighter despite its all-wheel drive traction advantage.

What happens when these two hot hatches line up at Willow Springs for a drag and a roll race? Will the Civic’s power advantage be enough to overcome the weight and traction advantage of the Corolla? Thomas is in the Honda and James is in the Toyota - let’s see what happens. Things don’t always go as you might expect in a drag race! Thanks for watching. SUBSCRIBE!

Considering the fact that GR engine is more or less a whole cylinder down, that engine is a monster.

[mariobotti]

That 1.6 litre 3 cylinders is absolutely incredible

[jamsxr]

Great that a few manufacturers are still producing cars like this 👌🏻

[jravila]

The race I’ve been waiting for!! Thank you guys!

[dephataznboi]

The fact that a 3 cylinder can defeat or keep up with a 4 cylinder is amazing. Toyota did great.

[MrBTRDAYZ]

The Civic Type R's lap time being just 2/10th of a second slower than a BMW M2 Competition is simply an incredible feat of Honda engineering!

[lemon.]

I never thought I would be excited to watch a 3cyl go up against a 4cly lmao. The Toyota’s looks and performance is one of the most interesting cars I’ve ever seen

[jesseperrella]

Wow that Corrolla is pretty damn good off the line! Two awesome hot hatches, nice stuff TH

[solocamo]

GR held up much better in a roll than I expected. This car has blown away all my expectations when they announced it. Too bad it's priced silly for what it is.

[srobe]

That ending was perfect 😂. Your vids genuinely give me old top gear vibes

[adamJeepstuff]

I honestly wasn't expecting the gr to be that good, really enjoying this channel

[decsmith]

Never been so in love with a 3 cylinder before .

[cRAYzd]

“Is it stupid? Or is it sophisticated and beautiful?”

Questions I ask myself every day

[JJ-tkcu]

Civic and Corolla are rivals for life. Watching this is like back to the 90s in Initial D when AE86 and EK9 were matching.

Great review. So disappointed that Subaru punked out on the new STI that ultimately didn’t happen. Would have been a great competitor in this field.

[erickeil]

A review of two cars that no one can get. Awesome!

No matter who is first, the Type R stays my favorite, Honda made a legendary car !

[colt]

Man if Honda would go with AWD and bump up the engine size/hp they would have a unbeatable sports car
