Are we still as smitten with Toyota's homologation special? Andy gives his thoughts after two years of ownership of a GR Yaris Circuit Pack Read the full story on RMS Motoring: rmsmotoring.co...
Just took my Yaris out from winter hibernation here in Sweden a few weeks ago. Immidiately, I thought "damn, this car is harsh, stiff and difficult to drive, why do I even have this car?" - Now, a week or so later after driving spiritly for a few days, I start to remember why I told my self to never get rid of this car, I am falling in love again.
Ordered mine in 03-2020 and got it in 01-2021. Drove about 17K km with and still love it! Only drive it in the weekend its my fun car. Only complaint about it is its 230kph limiter the car can do 260 easily.
Ive had the GR Yaris also for 2 years. You do feel totally connected with the car, incredible handling and acceleration, I can scream with delight round a corner and it seems to hardly depreciate. It is a future classic, have no doubt so could actually be a wise investment. MR2 mark 1s can go for 3x original list price 35 years later.... My only negative is noise, can do your nut in on a long journey and also the sound system must have cardboard speakers. Love the black lip and side skirt on your car, which brand is it?
I added the Focal drop in speakers to mine and an Alpine under seat small sub with DSP, then some sound deadening in the doors. Makes motorway travelling quite bearable
You are absolutely right, but in the face of what else recently arrived (vid below) I know its the right thing to do. And here there are plenty of GRs for sale and will be for some time, so I could return to one! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EZsLYscEx7M.html
