- After many weeks of waiting and whining, at the very last moment before the winter stop it has finally happened: the Nürburgring region warmed up, melted all the ice and snow and was finally OPEN! And you know what this means: a lap with the GR YARIS!!!
Being out of action for almost a month, tricky conditions and general lack of desire to end up in the wall made me a lot more cautious than you may be used of me, but even so it was enough to leave me blown away by the GR Yaris' performance. And this is just its stock form with the mods from Manthey-Racing ready to be installed soon...

The Porsche you past was probably thinking did i just get passed by a Yaris!?
Lol 😂
Doubt it, there are always surprises.
SMURF!!!
Porsche is scared to death, meanwhile Yaris : full throttle , bye
Probably regretting his buying decision haha ^^
Misha the peddle box camera angle is a massive educational tool for the commentary you and Robert have to add this for next season. Great content as always...
Gotta do it, Best Motoring style!
yes, the pedal cam reminds me of this brilliant japanese bestmotoring program where racing drivers including worlds most famous touge master took the best cars to their absolute limit and beyond
Yes it shows that Misha can't drive manual. Beggars belief what he does with gearbox...
Seriously! Best Motoring did this back int he 80s/90s and I've learnt so much from it.
You talk way too much. All your hypothesizing is crass
5:16 "Very easy with overtaking here"... overtakes a Porsche driving in a Yaris at 220km/h before fast corner
Yeah I was just going to type that myself..ha ha. I think the GR Yaris will do much giant killing.
😂😂😂😂😂
I bet the driver was thinking "War dass ein.... Yaris?
For a moment I thought this guy was overtaking the same Porsche but driving 240km/h in an old Nissan: czcams.com/video/07Itn2IdWHM/video.html
The Yaris is probably a half ton lighter than the Porsche.
Thanks for sharing Misha.
Regarding suspension comments starting around 7:00, if you don't replace it too soon, you'll learn that the stock suspension is in actually very very good with lots of travel and surpisingly compliant down a bumpy road in a way no modern sporty car does today anymore. The fact that GR can combine this with a suspension that still does a good job on track is amazing. To owners already planning to lower the car before trying it - you might actually ruin one of the best parts of the road behaviour of this car...
Last week had sit in Yaris GR for one minute. Turned engine on. Moved a meter in 1st gear. Tryed to change some gears. Sat in the back. Walked around. Ordered mine 10 minutes later. My first new car.
Congrats!!!
Thank you. Now I have to go to the ring at least once, hope to even meet you there who knows.
Good choice.
Fast forward 3 years and what's the verdict? Still love it as much as the day you bought it?
Would love a GR Yaris myself but my bank manager says no. 😆😂😉
If I had enough followers to be considered a CZcamsr I would be SERIOUSLY f’ing pissed right now.
That's why you're not Tier 1.
LOL
@@mgcharoudin ouch
@@RobertMitchell DAMN!!!!!!!
Robert is finally getting beef with an outher you tuber.😄😁 ( I would have chosen Postmaster X) 😜
3:32 the Toyota GR YARIS is a twin turbo !! sometimes
Wtf was that 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@mgcharoudin 😂
thas was so perfectly timed lol
WTF!!!
i think this is called dumb valve or something ^^
Learning these wet lines must take a long long time. I admire how you manage to get the exit of the corner so good in the wet.
It's a process indeed and it changes all the time!
DYNGA!!
The problem is that suspension and brakes setup should be different for whet/dry. And trailbraking dry setup in the wet is understeer all the way to the apex. But this mixed conditions is IMO what this car is all about. At least with front/rear torque management you can dial in the needed amount of oversteer on the way out.
@@mgcharoudin You must have learned from Nigel Mansel, the true master of the wet line.
GR Yaris is the most exciting car 2020!
@@waty0usay1 Absolutely not. We agree to disagree.
Most exciting daily drivable somewhat affordable car!
@@waty0usay1 but but .. not for all yeah ?
Indeed it is 👍, I’m not really into hot hatch’s but this one made me fell in love 😍 Toyota has made a comeback!!
@@waty0usay1 ooo wow another boring amg with a million horse power that you can never use in the real world. Who gives a fuck, the GR is something you can daily and have an absolute hoot in. Good old manual, raw fun! Nothing exciting about an automatic 700bhp car that 99% of people will never be able to afford. The GR is actually affordable and has much more going for it.
Would be nice to have the pedal cam whenever you drive a car on the track now that we've seen this
Totally agree! There is not a lot of content with heel and toe method and I'm happy to see it on this channel
I would rather not. Obviously, he is too much concentrated on his footwork(and its obvious that he is struggling) resulting in taking strange lines, mis-shifting, etc.
Well, only few of their cars have more than 2 pedals :)
@@sasakapetanovic Well he's driving on a wet track while talking to a camera, not as easy as it looks. Plus he took the wet line on a lot of turns because it's... wet.
@@nonessentialoils i'm just saying that in his case, left foot braking doesn't results in better driving. Pretty much opposite.
Yaris is probably all the the Supra couldn't be out from the box.
Toyota had to overcompensate with the yaris, because the BMW supra was a disgrace and their CEO would have to commit Sudoku otherwise.
Toyota have made BMW look bad. BMW spoiled the Supra. Leave Toyota to it? I heard BMW learned a lot for how to build more reliable cars from Toyota during the development of the Supra. Hope that is true as they sure need it.
@@billigerfusel sudoku 😂😂😂
supra was always the straight line beast and still is. nurgburgring is a track. the new supra is a great track car and another story entirely.
@@billigerfusel sudoku wtf hahaha
Thanks Misha for a great video again, full of visual information to examine. I really appreciate the foot camera view combined to the tricky conditions. 🏁👊👍
Sorry for cutting your video short 😅 The two laps we did were awesome. Thanks for your great instructions. Next year then again in dry conditions.
I just drive GR Yaris first time today. It is a great car, great feeling.....
even in Gran turismo Sport. LOL
*turismo not tourismo 🙄
Yeah in GT sport it handles so well, I just wish you were able to switch through the driving modes like “sport” or “track”. Oh well :)
@@N1ckZ good pick up 👍 people appreciate it when you correct their little typos
@nick xp
Thanks for correct me
@@kaew2597 still wrong 😂
Awesome review Misha, and as you said, a perfect testing time with very mixed conditions, before the upgrades happen!! It sounds like it would be the perfect daily driver with a little light track work thrown in whilst still in standard form. Will certainly consider putting this on my shopping list!
Loving the many camera angles, that looks like a great car for the track already, be interesting to see how much better it is after the upgrades!
Thanks for sharing, hope you have a good off season and find time to relax before starting all over again (hopefully) next year 🙂
Nice to see a car with so much hype appear to live up to it in pretty much every way that counts. I'd say you're exactly spot on with respect to the power; too much would change things in ways that wouldn't be good in a lot of circumstances and the majority of drivers. It's not exactly slow as it is, LOL.
All the more annoying that so many say they got the driving position incorrect. Seriously, how do you do that as a manufacturer? Doesn't anyone sit in it, let alone drive it, before they decide on such things? Bizarre.
As others have said, having a camera looking at the pedals was an interesting touch.
Thanks for another year of fun content.
Cheers
I think after all those years this is the best car made by Toyota. Actually even better than legend supra's.
Ur crazy supra s 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍
Yes I agree. Stop simping for supras.
this, the Celica GT-Four and the Turbo MR2 are probs the best driving cars Toyota ever made. Hopefully the GR Supersports hypercar will also be good 👍🏻
the Lexus LFA would like to have a word outside.....
@@whodat9198 i love that Lexus, but it's expensive as hell
Brilliant vid thanks, Misha. Incredible to see what the GR Yaris can do around the 'Ring, albeit in highly skilled hands.
Amazing! the angles made all the difference, this is sooooo good!
Awesome car , if the beloved Toyota reliability is still maintained this is a no brainer for car enthusiasts that look for pocket rockets 😍 I love that thing

@@delcarmenjesus481 wtf 😂😂
These are some serious tier 1 media angles! Car seems super fun and also quiet fast. Enjoyed allot 👍
The best video have seen for the Toyota GR Yaris !!! Thanks from Québec !
I love the way you do your videos. It is highly educational to see what you do with your feet. You have it down pat.
love your videos. not alot of the track videos show mess ups.its natural to miss a shift or take a corner wrong. thats what racing is about imperfect perfection.
Anyone else likes how nice he is and just happy waves at everyone “like thank you for allowing me to drive today” without marshals there’s no race btw
Misha u r the man of testing... Thanks for the amazing videos once more
Great video as always Misha! Looks like a fun little thing! Hopefully I'll get to drive it next year!
Oh man that must be a blast!
We need to see the GR Yaris go rallying🔥
GR Yaris Hack: you can bend the mirror base strut a bit higher so it sits altogether a bit higher.
Oh Man now tips like this are really welcome THANKS !!!
@@egidiotigris203 the visibility is still a bit limited, especially in city traffic. But I am sure this is somewhat easily moddable. Problem is in the wet you see nothing in that tiny rear window. I had 7cm headroom for my seating position and I am 188cm...
@@MT-eb2dx have you tried not being so tall
Toyota did that with the mr2 roadster too, until they facelifted it, I'm 6'2 and really want to get a pre face lift mirror for this reason again! As I used to have the older one 😂
@@crashyyy4116 Not at all, i sit very upright.
That was a fun ride Misha! Thank you also for not "rubber-necking" at the crash. See you on the next one!
More of this view setup please, really fascinating watching your footwork.
Thanks for pedal cam!
Just got my GR Yaris! I can't wait to take it around the ring!
Great driving Misha - enjoyed watching that!
I'm 4 minutes in and I already feel a need to praise you for the footcam. Great addition for any onboard. Also Best Motoring & Hot Version vibes :-)
That center graphics in the dash is really cool, that you can see how much power goes to each wheel. Especially when u film it and can watch it latr on. Maybe can use it to finetune the car setup.
Lookin fwd to se more of that car ( and Mischa ) 👍👍
casual 4 Cam Set up. We've come a long way :D
This TIER 1 review is EPIC! Thank you
What a fun video, and I'm glad you got it in before the end of 2020. Happy Holidays to you and the whole crew at Apex!
This thing is neat, shame we won't get it in the States... Maybe we'll get a Corolla with same drivetrain.
yeah i think toyota has been teasing a gr corolla
Yeah, I'm on the list as soon as they get here.
PÅSE MED Mv Ö !!!!
THERE IS A PETITION FOR TOYOTA TO SEND THIS CAR TO THE STATES! SIGN IT!!! However, due to emissions, the motor wont be the same. If only it were. It'll be the same for Corolla, different motor, same awesome drive train. But I think.. I would rather have the Yaris if the Corolla will be a Corolla (not like the Yaris, where it has nothing in common with the standard Yaris.)
@@flush_entity Emissions are stricter in Europe. The Corolla would probably be louder though. I have been told they are bringing it here likely the end of '21 or beginning of '22.
I love this, one of the few good drivers cars to come out this year.
What a great car, Misha! And great wet driving as well. I wish this little rocket would be sold in Brazil!
Great review misha 😎😎😁👍👌really liked your take on the car 👍looks like loads of fun 👌👌
Yaris GR not being sold inside Canada. The consolidation prize is the drivetrain will be available in the Corolla hatch.
There is a Corolla hatch?
@@yousefal-assaf2985 czcams.com/video/cv8ofasyUng/video.html
Damn that looks sweet. I would take this over the Yaris (if both have the same performance).
Yea, I'd take that Corolla hatch with a drive train from this Yaris GR and 2.0l 4 cylinder turbo with 320-350hp. That'd be an awesome hot hatch!
So sad I can't get it in Canada 😢
Love the multi-cam set-up Misha!
What a gem, glad it was possible to make this video before the end of the year. Yaris GR seems fantastic, can't wait to see Toyota bring some of its DNA over to the states.
As someone who considers myself a fair road driver and having very little track experience, the amount of left foot braking amazes me. Not something I've ever tried to learn in any of my cars previously. May have to try to take my GR to the track and try to work it out when it arrives next year! Thanks for pedal cam, great tool for us!
Late birthday present for you.
Edit: I mean, crazy year, best way to end it right?! Congrats man!!
Mischa dat was een geweldig rondje Nurburgring in de nieuwe Yaris !!! Ben benieuwd naar een volledig droog rondje !!!
Great video and I really liked the different camera angles and the commentary 👌
Excellent. You were smiling all the way round 😊👍👍👍
" I wanna take it easy...." hazard light and traction/stabilization light thinks something different :) I love small cars, and the Yaris is just epic.
Seems as the most fun pocket rocket!
I did my first ever and hopefully not the last lap yesterday in my Fiesta ... at 10:30 am ... it was so damn slippery. But thanks to you I "know" the wet line and tried to take it irl. Was such an awesome experience yesterday.
Hey Misha. Nice video with all the cameras angles. 😁👍🏻 Can't wait to come down and drive on the track again next year. 🙂
To be honest, Of all of the cars that you have lapped with, this is one of my favorites. Such a perfectly balanced car. Can't wait for what the future brings!
Finnally, a Toyota with a Toyota engine! Great driving, and the camera at your feet is an added BONUS! Thank You Mischa!!
Great video Misha, look forward to the mods. Think this will be your most popular rental car along with the Cupra when it gets upgraded!
Misha, you got your wish to drive the GR YARIS. Great job.
I love it that toyota and other companies are making sports cars again, hopefully they see the potential in this growing market and more brands jump in, *cough cough* mitshubishi
Great video fella.
Split screens and commentary top notch.
Great reporting. Your English and vocabulary are terrific. I like the pedal cam!
Really excited when they release an even more hardcore edition, due too the current world circumstances they weren’t able to update the current WRC Yaris but super keen to see what the future holds.
At the very least they probably gonna keep that GR Yaris body shell for 2022 with the new hybrid regulation.
This car is Amazing 🤭🏆🔥 tnx Misha.
Great to see you driving the car for a change! 👍
Ok I learn something here.straight from heel toe to left foot covering brake.i will develop this in my driving.thanks Micha
Lol the carousel part made me laugh so hard
Lane assist on Ring? That's something new :). Next - we need to use radar guided cruise control here too
Perfect timing! You released it directly after my "Feierabend" and I can't imagine any way to start it better... (ok, maybe driving the GR Yaris by myself on the track...)
beautiful video misha.
shift scene was beautiful too
Amazing little car. I thought it was overpriced when I came out, compared to other small cars like the fiesta st, but this is two or three leagues higher
Impressive footwork :-O
Thanks! It's more like how easy this car lets itself drive for the first time!
OH CRAP!!!
I think in many cases it was not necessary for him to press the brake with his left foot if his right foot had him off the gas pedal.
I know it's a pilot but it's my perception
@@jorgekox I may be wrong but if you brake slightly and hold the accelerator, it allows the engine to remain on boost exiting a corner.
Amazing footwork. Rematching like clockworks!
Really enjoyed that Misha. The Yaris seems like a ball of fun...
A really tight, powerful brake pedal from factory seems very common with hot hatches these days, I suspect after its first brake fluid change the pedal feel will become more 'normal'.
Hello Misha, Hello Carmrades :)
Great seeing you here!
Thats the best heel, toe, left foot braking video I've seen and its a car review ! Lol more !
YAY!!!! No Pov so I could watch with no car sickness! Awesome car! Also good footwork with the left foot braking. No idea how you have so much control on left foot!
Now that is some interesting "footage" 😉😜
Heel and toe is for amateurs. ‘Big toe, little toe’ is the future... 😂 Nice to see you can use left foot braking with this little rocket. 👍
What car can’t you left foot brake in?
@@spiralmoment No, it's for when you're downshifting time and blipping the throttle at the same time, so one foot has to be on the clutch.
@@MazdaRX7007 no, left foot braking is When you use your left foot on the brake. Its not the same as rev matching. I Think he just meant to say Heel toe in stead of left foot braking which you obviously Can do in any car.
@@spiralmoment Yeah, you can left foot brake in any car, I'm not sure why the op needs to mention the last part of his comment.
@@MazdaRX7007 The reason is that most cars these days electronically cut the engine the moment you touch the brake. Not with the Yaris, this is thanks to its Motorsport intentions. Hope that helps?!
Love the videos, taking notes for my Corolla GR.
Very nice! I love this car. Mine was delivered to the dealer today so I am very happy. Couple of things must be done to the car so delivery wil be in a few weeks.
This Yaris GR must be the most videod car on CZcams
Hey man, its just so weird. Nobody expects a decent car when you think Yaris lol
So this will be the new sub7??
Amazing lap with amazing pocket rocket. If next year is bit less crazy than this one I'll be there taking GR Yaris around track preferably with you as instructor!
Yay I've been waiting for this. The video was also worth the wait. Now I just have to wait until June 21 for mine to arrive 😫 🤣. June = perfect time to head to the Ring.
This car is like reincarnation of Nissan Pulsar GTi-R, but it's modern and even faster
braking and using clutch looks with left foot pretty confusing to me 🙂
Awesome to see you could end the year with a lap with the Yaris! But now I can't wait for next year to book a lap with the Yaris myself :)
Love it😬😍 I hope you can do two more laps in the near future... (One in sport and one in track)
The Yaris didn't like the toe-toe or the degressive breaking? Blinkers on at all hard breaking areas. Nice driving, as always!
That's ABS kicking in
@@mgcharoudin maybe disable it via ecu for track days as could be dangerous thinking there is a yellow flag ahead when there isn't 🤔
WAZUP???
Wow with left foot braking and everything :D i hope i spelled braking right this time :P
I also Mix them up 🤣
Braking "the" right this time... maybe next time 🤣
@@samsungsungsam5474 didn't saw that, i changed it :D
Kudos for the proper shifting with the heel and toe!
Great review !!! Thanks for checking the LFB !!! And thanks for having me want one too :)
Your request has been fulfilled!
@@mgcharoudin That was recognised and highly appreciated !
Size matters,

When you heel and toe ! 😏
Good video
Good comment
TRBONEGRO!!!
Good comment
This is the first new car that has my interest in a very long time. I only own old (30+years) cars EF Civic and AE86 Corolla. This car is looking very impressive to me too bad it isn't coming to the US.
Thank you for the foot cam and the dashboard cam. Never realized how much left foot braking you do.
