How awesome is it for the 2024 model, to have included the upgraded, lighter forged wheels on the Circuit edition?! Such a cool bonus for anyone unable to grab a 2023 - a very cool bonus for them! Plus, they get to have their GR in the sick new Blue Flame color!
Congrats 👏 they are a bit hard to find those CE. Got the Core with the performance and tech packages in black and love it. That carbon roof looks very nice so its the only thing missing. Got the spoiler and the hood its on the way 😊
@@gregorylouiscoleman they are expensive. 800 give or take for the hood and 850 give or take for the spoiler. Those are Toyota oem parts. For that price I'd look at carbon parts instead.
Nice bro. My dealership got one coming. I’m #1 on the list and is the same specs as your. I did tell them to take the roof rack off if possible before being mounted.
I hope you get it. This one was a MF to get. I negotiated for two weeks. They ended up getting a Morizo in so they kinda devalued this and gave it to me for what I was willing to pay.
@Restoflip never knew you could haggle for a new car, particularly one thats rare to come back and gets bought out quickly and you kept them on the rope for 2 weeks?
I have started mods on my friends GR Corolla. Done cold air intake, exhaust Magna-flow , just sent ECU out to get tune loaded. Next is intercooler and downpipe.
Congratulations! I hope they don’t screw with you. I’m enjoying mine. Just hit the 650 mile break in period and it kicks ass through the windy roads. I can believe how it sticks to the road! New video coming soon
You probably figured this out already but you change the shift indication in the instrument cluster not the radio. I set mine to 4k while I'm in the break in period. Toyota doesn't specify that but my WRX did so seems like a wise idea. I do like the grey on the car better, shows off the curves better.
I made this video when I first got the car. I’ve learned a lot about it. I think 4k is a good RPM not to exceed while breaking it in. I broke mine in proper, and am averaging 23 mpg. So I think proper break in affects the mpgs
@@liudxdxthat's because they don't want to get toasted if they paid too much. To me that's nothing to be ashamed of. If the person likes/wants a car that much who cares how much you've paid. Life is short...enjoy the ride. It might come only once.
@@liudxdxIt depends how much the mark up is. 1-4k might not be too bad but once it gets over $8k it's starts to price it's self out of it's intended market and people might just buy something else if they are going to pay that much more.
Lovely car 😍 ...I have a GR Yaris which is a keeper but we can't get the GR Corolla here in the UK just like you can't get the GR Yaris in the USA 😢 😎 👍🏻
I found a dealer that was able to promise me a 2024 Circuit in the blue. Put a deposit down, markup was 3k so not the worst. I've heard of markups up to 15k
Yeah. That’s a great deal. I’d say anything under 10k over you’re doing “ok”. I paid 7k over and I know I could get that out of it if I decided to sell it. I think anything under 5k and you’re in the black. Let’s hope your dealer gets a blue one. There’s a chance they won’t get allocated a blue one.
@Restoflip fingers crossed. They're a huge dealer outside of major city. The manager seemed confident so I'm pretty hopeful. 8 months was the time frame I was given.
I went to Every toyota dealer in Portland Oregon and was shot down multiple times, then a guy I know that works at Gladstone toyota called me and they had this one on the ground. I negotiated for 2 weeks and ended up getting it.
@@Restoflip congrats!!! Ive been asking around in cali area everywhere i go its a waiting list about 6-8 months but the guy that reserved the circuit edition in my area said he waited 18 months! Enjoy your ride its such a beautiful car! I will be waiting for the 2024 one because of the blue flame color that i want. Cheers!
Congrats. I'm curious how bad was the markup? I'm personally waiting a year or two for hype to die down and hopefully the absurd markups too. Great car, but but not for 50k
I mentioned how much I paid in earlier comments. They were initially asking 20k over. After about going back and forth for 2 weeks, I got it for $7,000 over. The MSRP was about 45k. I can justify paying it a little more than in most states, because we don’t have sales tax and the tags were only 100 bucks because I transferred my plates. Is it worth over 50k…well I guess it is due to the cost of most cars these days. Sucks I had to pay over MSRP, but I’m more focused on enjoying it at this point.
@@Restoflip That's fair, and it's your money to spend. I'm sure the car is fun. I'm looking at the core trim but I can wait another year or two. Enjoy the car it looks fantastic!
@@Restoflip Wow really? So other people can thrash on your car, sounds like a terrible deal for $250 a day imo but whatever floats your boat I guess. I rarely let anyone else drive my vehicles.
Part of me wants to mod it out, then the other side the old guy in me wants to leave it stock. I could definitely handle it if it was a little faster, but that’s when shit starts breaking. I may do some things you can’t see, like sway bars and solid shifter bushings. But overall it’s plenty fast, sticks to the road like glue, and looks awesome!
You gotta reveal how much you paid for it otd… its non sense saying things over the video about how you score getting one without actual price u paid for it i bet its over the msrp 5k-10k mark ups..
I revealed it already on a previous post. They wanted 20k over. SMH after a couple weeks of negotiations I paid 7k over.no tax in Oregon so I justified it. 52000. What the hell. You only live once, right?!
@@Restoflip oh lol apologize i have not watch it yet but anyways 7k mark up is still bit up but if u said no tax that means a good score still but still 52k otd is hella butnova for me lol.. but if u like the car im giving u thumbs up for it..
No apologies necessary. I didn’t take offense to it. It’s bull crap the dealers that do have them for sale want over sticker for them. I guess I don’t blame them. They’ll hold their value really well so I don’t think I’ll get hurt to bad in the long run.
'auto launch control' won't let you rev it up past 4 grand, because you'd bust the half-shafts and CV joints otherwise...the 'pretty clean' undersides of it look like a rust magnet to me...WHY Toyota? tiny little touch-screen...wow...this is a 'bean-counter special'...
Golf-R any day...better engine (and sound)...more practical and just as quick on the track...I have driven both cars...sorry, can't deal with 'three cyllinder' engines...way too rough sounding...Civic Type R is another (and BETTER) alternative to the Corolla...IMO
Nice 👍 bro.. I got mine 2 weeks ago red sonic circuit gr.. love its worth it. Very happy u

Nice video! The circuit edition looks like a worthy upgrade. Hope you enjoy it!
That is a great looking little hot hatch I hope you have a lot of fun with it
Congrats on your circuit edition.
I hope she keeps you happy all the time and reminds you that #ManualLivesMatter
Congratulations! 🎉

can you order the hood and wing from toyota?
@@jordan3305 yes
How much for the spoiler and hood? I'm getting a black core, specd same way, this week.
@@gregorylouiscoleman they are expensive. 800 give or take for the hood and 850 give or take for the spoiler. Those are Toyota oem parts. For that price I'd look at carbon parts instead.
@@gregorylouiscoleman $750 for the spoiler and $1250 for the unpainted hood.
Congrats! Hoping to get mine next month, GR Corolla CE in Heavy Metal.
Congrats to you too! It’s worth the wait. The Circuit edition feels special when you drive it for sure.
Wow amazing I loved this review
I look forward for the 500 mile video
Congrats! I’ve had mine for 7 months now
Very nice looks like a mini sporty camry

@@Restoflip Well congrats, I should be here in 6-8 weeks. Hope everything goes smoothly.
How much was the mark up? Wanna compare to the one in my city.
@@OmegakThao after 2 weeks of negotiations and already buying 3 cars from that dealer I was 7k over msrp

You lucky dog! Enjoy it.
There’s been I few here in Illinois. I have to hold off till next year. Big to trip to 🇯🇵 end of year. Hopefully I’ll get my hands on one next year.
Good luck getting one, just stick with it and be proactive, and you’ll get one!
I turned off the seatbelt chime in my Corolla XSE with Carista. I'm hoping to do the same on my CE that's s'posed to arrive next month.
Good to know, cause it is hella annoying
I have started mods on my friends GR Corolla. Done cold air intake, exhaust Magna-flow , just sent ECU out to get tune loaded. Next is intercooler and downpipe.
I hear that downpipe is really gay to get too bc you need to remove the driveshaft. Let me know how it goes
I'm so happy for you. I want it so bad.
You can turn the 4k soft limiter off btw. It's not really intended to be a 'launch control' since the car will just bog super hard at that rpm.
Thanks chuck. How do you turn it off?
@@RestoflipExpert mode will turn off the limiter. So sport/custom mode, then traction control off.
@@davidskelton5585got it! Thanks. That sounds amazing with the little crackle at the end. I’m reading the owners manual and haven’t found that yet.
I wonder if that's for the break-in period.
the side vent is block off?
hi, what was the out the door price with tax ?
Oregon for the win!! Hopefully i see it around portland!
Thanks you!
If you’re interested…if you’re local….I did list it on Turo for people to rent. I thought I’d share the fun!

Nice car bro & review . I’m in the looks for one. Wanted to know how much you paid for it if you don’t mind me asking?
I ended up about 52k OTD
@@Restoflipso around 10k markup?
I want one! 😫
How much markup?
So Kool
Thanks RC! I’m adding another video soon of the GR on some curvy roads.
Mine is on the way. Put a deposit on one over a year ago. $1500 over MSRP in writing of course.
