2021 Litchfield Toyota GR Yaris Review. Is this 300hp pocket rocket really that good?
With all the controversy around this little GR Yaris tuned by Litchfield we wanted to see what all the fuss was about. We took the GR Yaris in freezing conditions on twisty, bumpy Cotswold roads to see if the modification done by Litchfield have made it worth all the coverage it has been receiving.

O Great, I am working on that all the time RU-vid doesn't seem to send people to the smaller channels so it takes a little time to really get going. So I shall plug away and keep making films and hopefully will get there soon. It had it's flaws for sure, but is a proper hoot to drive. Loads of money but they are holding really well as well.

I'd love a go in one of these, quite a bit different than my 20 year old Toyota Crown VX. What a breath of fresh air compared to all the SUVS.

How much time have you spent behind the wheel of a GRRR with either the CP suspension or standard suspension? Everything you said about the Nitron setup echos everything that’s good about the CP setup so a comparison between the two would superb.

Great to see people taking an interest in Litchfield products, I hope while they crack the ECU they also find a way to switch the painful lane assist of permanently, not each time you get in and start up. That is a show stopper for a real driver/ even modest drivers each time they pass a cyclist.

@ggaattzz 3 года назад

@ 7:31 looks like the car got a bit of air!,.. and also your bum off the seat! I wonder if that Litchfield/Nitron kit suspension setting on compression & rebound and especially on the "suspension travel" (e.g. maybe significantly shortened as a result of the 40mm drop in ride height) is biased quite a bit more for track/circuit than for roads. That 'fly' could end up in a disaster if the bump/crest is on a slight bend.

@Motorflix 3 года назад

There is a particularly bad bump in that road that does it with all cars. The Nitron dealt with it surprisingly well. It unsettles most cars to be fair. This one no more than most (sports cars that is).

@ggaattzz 3 года назад

@@Motorflix ah,..many thanks for letting me know, much appreciated. Might still consider this Nitron kit then. Cheers. Oh, great vid/presentation by the way,. keep them coming. 😉

So the question, would I regret trading my Caterham 420R for a GR Yaris , you have driven both, what’s your opinion please P.S I love the channel great content 👍

@Motorflix Год назад

They are very different. 420r is a LOT faster and more raw, but the GR is very fun also and point a to b still very quick. What I would say is see if you can get an extended test drive somewhere. If you need something more usable but still fun the GR is great, but it will never give the raw thrill of the caterham. Glad you like the channel!! 👍🏻👍🏻

@_Archambaud 3 года назад

14mm lower is it? Mode changes response and noise does it.? You present well but your facts are all whacked..

@Motorflix 3 года назад

40mm slip of the tongue. Apologies! (Thought that is what I heard when Iain was telling me about the car) Sounded like more induction noise when in race mode to me. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I know it moves the power round the AWD system too. 70/30 and 50/50 but on twisty UK roads that aren’t closed, you can’t really feel that change. Need a track or closed road for some proper hooliganism. Also I drove the car for about 4 hours......

@Motorflix 3 года назад

@DjNikGnashers 3 года назад

Yes great to drive, but not perfect, and not the most balanced. It is over-hyped though, very expensive, low-rent interior, and impractical. I don't really understand the market for it, because a dedicated sports car for the same money, will be a much better handling and faster machine, and be a MUCH nicer place to sit. A sports saloon (BMW M car for example), will not be quite as darty but will cover ground just as quick, be much faster in a straight line, be MUCH better quality and much more practical. I think a lot of people are getting caught up in the hype, and 'think' they really want one, but in reality if they did own one, would get very bored with it very quickly.

@Motorflix 3 года назад

I don’t really disagree with any of what you say. When the hype dies I will be interested to see what happens to the prices of them......

@DjNikGnashers 3 года назад

@@Motorflix Yes, I think they will depreciate a fair bit, unless they don't sell very well in which case they will hold value simply due to rarity. I'm no hater, and I do thank Toyota for making cars like this when we are so close to a world where everything 'normal' on the roads will be EV or efficient hybrid, unless you can afford a supercar. I can only afford to run 1 car, and a couple of years ago with a budget of 20 grand, I wanted something fast, but practical, reliable, and without huge running costs. I bought a 14,000 mile 2017 M140i as it seemed to be the best option at that price point. Would I buy a Yaris GR if I had 2 and a half times the budget ? Nope, there are at least 20 other cars I would buy before I bought a Yaris GR.

@Motorflix 3 года назад

@@DjNikGnashers for sure if we get in to what can be bought in the secondhand market for the same money........ then I would buy an F80 M3. There are lots of other options in that price point I would choose over the GR. I do admire the specialness of it though!

@@tonyw2960 Apparently the standard stereo is ok but I wanted the convenience pack stuff for a couple of reasons. You'd be able to add the red calipers for £100. Id probably want the Litchfield suspension eventually. I guess you'd miss the forged wheels as they go look nicer but someone will stick them on eBay at some point but I think I'd like different alloys. I wonder if the Supra's 19s would fit. And you could add the diffs later I would have thought. Plus the diffs add about net 40kg (after deducting the lighter forged wheels) to the standard cars weight.
