The brand new Toyota GR Corolla Circuit Edition ($53,900 in Canada, $42,900 in the US) is here to make a bold all-wheel drive statement. It shares the same 1.6 L 3-cylinder turbo engine as the rally-homologated GR Yaris. But it has even more horsepower due to its improved exhaust backpressure. And is finally available for North American buyers.
On paper the GR Corolla looks unbelievably tantalizing. A 300 horsepower all-wheel drive turbo hot hatch, with dual-LSDs and a manual transmission. But will it live up to its mighty expectations? And will it be able to stand out against its ultra-competitive rivals in the hot hatch category? Thomas and James aim to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!
A huge thank you to Toyota Canada and VW Canada for being game to make this test happen.
And to our Subaru owner for letting us feature his WRX STI!

Need a TRD tuned Corolla beneath the GR. The background music is like a the "biggest reveal in the World"
Just got My GR Corolla Core and it still doesn't have an armrest. just saying. oh and i am totally fine with no arm rest it is AWESOME
nobody will buy this for 50k lmfao
Thank you for being alive, gentlemen. Y’all rock.
why haven’t you guy’s tracked the mustang shelby gt350R ?????????????⁉️⁉️⁉️
The little 3pot is OK in the Yaris, but its wasted in the Corolla. Toyota/GR had the chance to make a proper slayer but instead just tweak the little 3pot, sticked it into a heavier, larger body and made it marginally better then the competition.
I was watching several videos on the new Corollas this one was the best x10
18:21 "that's a good showing, actually!"
>proceeds to the bottom of the leaderboard
I’ve had mine for 7 months and absolutely love it
That Golf-R is engineered to madness!
AND IM JAMES😃😃😃
In SoCal I need to pay $5~6K dealer markups for a GR Corolla but below the window price for Golf R.
The celica GT4 our this generation and I love it rumors of a celica comeback is going around too
when the car puts a smile on your face, you know it's good😂😂
Why do you all forget the Focus RS exists? You talk about over driving the rear axle to get oversteer and the RS does it so well. It also is a great comparison to these, even if they don’t sell them anymore.
The intro after the comic skit….. still gives me goosebumps ❤. I’ve watched this video 3 times and still get goosebumps. Great videography 🙏🏻
The 25 psi is scary. Throwing a bigger very fast spooling turbo at lower boost is probably a good move. Yall explained the trickery much better in this video than the rs3 one. So it just one wheel peels the drift…better than going straight in a curb lol
Property Brothers version
I just drove the Core edition. I never thought I would drive a car I liked better than the Fiesta ST. They were selling it for $38k.
There are (2) Golf Rs around my town, they are asking $4k over the sticker ($52k). $14,000 might not be much to some people, but it's a lot to me.
Wonder where my 2014 Acura TL 6mt be in the race, for the price I’ll still keep my TL
53k no way
The interior footage of the Golf R show just how boring it is.
YOU LIED TO US, I just got my GRC Premium and no center console lol oh well, wonderful video guys!
Still have insane dealer markups at the end of 2023. Dealers here are trying to add $6k of markup to the $41k MSRP.
Toyota is the best car.
What’s with the dubbed shift sounds?
So we should pay for having your commercial stuff? Great deal😅
But anyway, thanks for a great show, I'll keep watching your shows instead 😊👍
Had a GR86… super user unfriendly infotainment… obnoxious. otherwise that was a fun car but I’m turned off to Toyota
Good on you for not going political or obscene. Staying the course with the core subject. Others channels have wandered to their peril.
Would be better if it had a dct
You guy's should have put the BMW M2 in instead of the WRX 🤦
Golf: slightly faster.
GR and WRX: waaayyy better looking.
I think this car looks amazing but it needs more, better bigger infotainment screen, better tuning or something, better interrior. I want this car but i feel like i should wait a few years for thek to refine it a bit
