The Surprising GR Yaris | Top Gear Series 30 

Bought mine two weeks ago. Amazing car.

Had mine two years, it is bloody brilliant !!!

In 1999 the Toyota Corolla WRC also became world champion after the Celica GT4 in the early 90s

Had mine a couple of years. Not a car for a commute through Central London, but if you live in the boonies where you're on wet, twisty, pot hole laden B roads most of the time

Incidentally, due to Covid, WRC didn't happen for that year, but in the AP rally series, it came 1st and 2nd in every single race. The evolution (mild hybrid due to new regs) was also 1st and 2nd at Monaco. Mad little beast. I tested the Merc, Hyundai N, Civic and Fords back when, but the GR was my choice. Ordered before the media hype hit and my test drive while waiting for delivery sealed the deal.

We need to say Thank you Toyota❤️ for passion of driving

love mine. best car ive ever owned. i link the old video whenever someone asks about it. it goes under the radar of most people.

Where is the celica GT4 the grandfather to the GR Yaris it’s not the first Toyota homologation special totally forgot the original

めっちゃ豪華🥹 言葉は分からないけど すごくいい動画でした😊

The GR is top of the notch. - A future "dream of a car" if this will still matter in the future... :) How proud/lucky I am to own one of these...

Spectacular car and a brilliant video

Chris Harris is so good

I want this to be the first car I buy 🤩🤩🤩 Matte black everything, with amazing spoilers and specd with a beefy sound

Brilliant video!!! Bravo!

Spectacular car and a brilliant video. Well done Toyota and Top Gear

I'll be looking at and test driving one this coming weekend, 🤞 it's as good as everyone says.

Nicely done.

Wow great steering boss

Brilliant car. Great review.

Loving my gr corolla

Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾

This car is a dream 😍

Beautiful❤️❤️❤️

Cant put a price tag on a great homologation car. The Yaris holds its own very good against the competition. Just look at it in the WRC these days.

GR Yaris is a true homologation special, WRC Championship car and a Modern classic! Whoever can own one is very lucky!

Epic Yatis video! Couldn't do much better

Epic!!!

Along with my GT3 touring , best car I’ve owned…….

I'm getting the funds together as quickly as possible to get one while they're still around rrp. You can't compare it with anything from the last 30 years, even with other homologation specials it's one of the most extreme ones, with almost nothing in common with the regular Yaris. Built to race from scratch rather than a modified version of the regular one. They're under appreciated at the moment especially as they are so easily mistaken for the hybrid gr sport, but still holding their money.

Top 🤩 Gr

I'd rather have the Yaris than a Ferrari. Imagine that.

This is the 10th time I've watched this.

The car does everything well, it accelerates, brakes and turns great, the issue is that it has a lot of grip in the sensations, it seems like it is going on rails and that takes away from the fun, plus the sound of the engine amplified by the speakers sounds very artificial, as if It was an appliance, and the exhausts are as if silenced. In 2022, they took me for a ride in a pearl black one, with the circuit pack and the aerodynamic kid that cost about five thousand dollars more, we were going almost flat out and I thought it was going to leave me speechless but the truth is which was not the case, only a downshift to third and a great thrust of its engine made my head almost touch the windshield, it was what impressed me the most along with its great braking power, but based on comments I expected much more from this car . There are some journalists who think the same as me, but well I think there are two realities, the car that gives you sensations and the one that makes the best times, the Yaris is part of the latter's club. When you get in it feels too cheap and its plastics leave a lot to be desired, they look like a VW Gol Trend from before and all this makes it feel like a "vitaminized little stroller" but not of class.- If you buy it for A safe circuit is great, but if you buy it as a touring car to make a “facha”, as they say in Argentina, it is not so good because it is small, uncomfortable and uses too much gas like a Mustang, according to what I saw in a video from a private individual. from Spain that has the Yaris and compares the consumption with the Muscle Car. Although the suspension is softer than a Megane 3 Rs 265, it is still hard, and it copies every small imperfection of the asphalt in the city. In conclusion, for its price it offers a lot, but it is not the car that you say drives me crazy, neither for its design (although its nose is very rally), nor for its sound, nor for the quality of materials, what makes it precious is the intervention in its development of the quadruple WRC world champion, the Finnish Tommi Mäkinen, which ensures that this vehicle is precise and efficient when it comes to rolling on the track, on a track day, even surpassing other higher priced cars.

Looks like the same review as the Focus RS 😂

Going to get the type R but this is a dream car.

we are talking about rally, not subaru mentions???

You forgot to mention the Toyota Celica.

I can't believe that Impreza has been missed out

Not sure why he is complaining about the price, 8,000 miles later and worth £4k more than list, free motoring

Shut up and take my money!

What a Content. Love it. There was no VW Golf GTI manual mentioned as a Competition though.

Grrryaris the best

crowned by Chris

not sure if toyota paid for this video. If so this is the greatest commercial ads i have seen for years

Sound used in this video is not the real GR yaris sound!

TOYOTA 🏁❤️👍🏻

Why can't this come to America:(((((((

Toyota...... good 👍👍👍👍 Car

Why the fake Sound ???🤣

€60k+ in little old Ireland! So don't be complaining 🇮🇪😭

Celica gt4 Subaru impreza

4:22 3 cyl. engine from Koenigsegg has 600 hp

Best video on top gear since downfall. Downfall is desperation…to post this video 2nd time like a 3rd world ghetto TikTok reel

As great as it is I won't be getting one as the wife wouldn't be caught dead in a Yaris

A35

Do you really think the 33 grand are too much for this missile?

i20N/i30N? Also, Yaris interested buyers in US, RIP.

What is he talking about, AMG is double the price?

Would be cool if they can also make it with the next gen solid battery.

Or buy a used Aston Martin stick shift v12 convertible. hmm.

Fiesta st 🤣🤣🤣🤮

Too much expensive for this 💨💨💨💨Toyota 🤣🎬💨💨🎞💨💨💨shame on Chris for this 🎞💨💨🎬💨💨💨toyoDa💨💨💨🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No scooby shame on you Christopher

Imagine a new version of top gear...Chris Harris with decent motoring journalists an not the two tw@'s...

Ohh dont cry about 35000£ in finland it costs 55000€

You tried to portray Toyota as pedestrian. Hello - you’re unaware of Lexus legacy and benchmark? Lexus IS Toyota Catch up please 👍🏼

Great car for sure - but overhyped.

Sadly, everyone I see driving them drives like an old lady! Here in Australia at least

Isn't it the gemera that has the most powerful three cylinder engine?!? Produces 600hp..

Type r is 37 to 40 k so that's wrong Mercadrs amg is near 40 And how can you compare a fiesta st to a gr yaris your mad

The name yaris should be dropped. Call it the GR

Bring back the 3 amigos Jeremy, to begin with.

Looks garbage though

The looks of the Yaris ruin it for me, the GR Corolla looks much better. The rear end on the Yaris looks like it has ass tumors, just ungainly looking.

I'd rather take the GR Supra

WAY overpriced 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

Had mine 18mths...it Broke...I sold it...Honestly though, I don't know what all the hype was about, it really and honestly IS NOT worth the money or all that good...no where near it

Personal think the gr Yaris is overrated. I’ve had more fun in older hot hatches.

Unfortunately without the previous hosts trio , the show has lost it appeal . It isnt half of what it used to be

Owned one, and no I do not regret selling it: 1) amg a35 is way better (materials, HP, look) 2) space 3) noise (not sound, literally noise coming from the exhaust)

Yaris GR is a rubbish car. I was one of the first to preorder, but cancelled following two test drives. Restricted view and wobbly suspension plus impotent engine noise. GR86 which. I own now, is way better and much more rare.

Carlton football club Australia not soccer Australian rules. Please make them your team,go blue boys

My 5cyl Audi is quicker than this POS and a fraction of the cost, what’s the hype, people forget that it’s an old persons Yaris which an awful body kit 😂

👍

Brilliant car. Great review.
