2023 Honda Civic Type R vs Toyota GR Corolla // DRAG & ROLL RACE
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 08. 2024
- The 2023 Honda Civic Type R ($50,050 in Canada, $42,895 in the US) is undoubtedly one of the hottest hatches on the market today. But how does it compare in a drag race against the special-edition newcomer, the Toyota GR Corolla Morizo Edition ($59,990 in Canada, $49,990 in the US)? The front-wheel drive Civic Type R has more power and more torque, but the weight-reducing Morizo Edition makes the GR slightly lighter despite its all-wheel drive traction advantage.
What happens when these two hot hatches line up at Willow Springs for a drag and a roll race? Will the Civic’s power advantage be enough to overcome the weight and traction advantage of the Corolla? Thomas is in the Honda and James is in the Toyota - let’s see what happens. Things don’t always go as you might expect in a drag race! Thanks for watching. SUBSCRIBE!

Considering the fact that GR engine is more or less a whole cylinder down, that engine is a monster.
It's because of the awd...
@@jw3384 3:08
@@jw3384 No it's also the engine have you seen how thick the block is and it is all torque with the 25 psi of boost of course it is a monster.
U can talk about it being a monster if it pushes 700 bhp without changing rods. Until that, its daily use awd hatchback.
Not forgetting the Toyota 1.6 litre engine displacement vs Honda 2.0 litre.
That 1.6 litre 3 cylinders is absolutely incredible
This is such a difficult point to overlook. 100 hp per cylinder
@@marcinhernik1270 .53 litre per 100 hp roughly
Until it blows up
@@gordonschiff3621 it's a Toyota it won't
@@gordonschiff3621 The block is absolutely bulky. The first thing that would go (only if you tune to 500+whp) would be the head studs.
The fact that a 3 cylinder can defeat or keep up with a 4 cylinder is amazing. Toyota did great.
It's not the cylinders but the HP
you lost - have to be a toyota driver
Yes but it’s way more expensive
@thatoneguy8910 20k more??!?! lol what are you talking about it says the price at the start
Awd....
GR held up much better in a roll than I expected. This car has blown away all my expectations when they announced it. Too bad it's priced silly for what it is.
It’s not priced silly, the mark up is what’s silly especially knowing that money is not going to the team that designed it but some snobbish salesman.
@@rhincodontypus3830 If the OP is referring the the specific Morizo edition... $50k MSRP for some extra welds, rear seat delete, sound deadening delete, rear window functionally delete, rear wiper delete. The only thing you get as a bonus is the rear chassis brace, new springs, forged wheels and a different final gear and slightly more aggressive engine tune and tire upgrade. If that's worth $8k over the circuit... But you're really just paying for the exclusivity of it.
@@Vermonstered Yeah it's totally not worth it. I'm normally a fiend for optioning out my cars, I'm more of a luxury sedan than a hot hatch person anyway, but for this car I would just go with the base version, maybe add the heated seats and wheel + wireless charger for just over $1k and call it a day.
Better in roll cuz that car is much lighter
@@nickryan6787 Lightness is least effective from a roll. A dig is where being lighter weight has the most advantage.
The Civic Type R's lap time being just 2/10th of a second slower than a BMW M2 Competition is simply an incredible feat of Honda engineering!
Honda cannot compete with Toyota engineering🤡
@@AngelValdovinos You're replying to the wrong comment. If not I'm sorry for your smooth brain. That Type R's track lap times truly are remarkable though.

Great that a few manufacturers are still producing cars like this 👌🏻
@@singular9 I hear a fanboy. I think they’re all great but I’ll take the Civic Type R over either Toyota all day.
@@jamsxr pot meets kettle
both still slower than european hot hatches
@@hassyg4083 if you buy your cars based on top trumps drag races then go for a A45 or RS3. If you want a proper drivers machine, take a Civic or GR. Horses for courses.
@@MLHunt honestly, I would love a GR, it’s just a bit small for my requirements. No doubt the Civic is faster if you care about lap times.
The race I’ve been waiting for!! Thank you guys!
Type R is for circuit racing & being the most successful fwd car ever made, facts
Corolla GR is for practical driving and all weather conditions, just another Corolla variant that Toyota will discontinue in the future when sales go down
Type R will never die, it truly is the legendary car between the two
I never thought I would be excited to watch a 3cyl go up against a 4cly lmao. The Toyota’s looks and performance is one of the most interesting cars I’ve ever seen
The GR Yaris seemingly so cool to ride especially when fully upgraded.
3 cylinder on 26 psi of turbo, that turbo makes 3x the engine power output
@@jaxxone4907 and 3x times the heat
It took 30 years for me to see it again. Had my fun in a 3 cylinders hot hatch in the 90s .... GR is for the next generation of petrolheads
Looks terrible. Like every Toyota, sadly.
That ending was perfect 😂. Your vids genuinely give me old top gear vibes
No matter who is first, the Type R stays my favorite, Honda made a legendary car !
Considering how hard that Type R pulls compared to other 300HP cars, that Corolla has PEP. Pretty damn impressive. Hate that I can't afford one. This is the first car in 10+ years that's made me consider going back to selling drugs lol
Dont feel bad , that version of the car is collectable and most people won't get one and over time would be forgotten. The type r however will haunt everyone with its street presence.
Just don't be out here selling bs having people ruining if not, losing their lives.
@@christopherdaniel2747 street presence? It's a civic. Only car enthusiasts are going to be into it.
@@christopherdaniel2747 I don't even want the Morizo, I just want a Circuit. But $55 000 CAD is still a LOT for a hot hatch, more than most young enthusiasts (including myself) can justify tbh. But jeez, being a Canadian, no other modern car looks as fun in winter as that GR Corolla, and the fact that it ALSO is a killer summer and weekend track car... The thing just makes me drool
@@DJHeroMasta Ahhh I mean it in jest. If I was ACTUALLY gonna go sell drugs, I definitely wouldn't have said it on a CZcams comment :p
But I respect your comment, I've known too many people who have lost everything to drugs. Not all drugs, but there are definitely a few of them that will take far more than they could ever give
Wow that Corrolla is pretty damn good off the line! Two awesome hot hatches, nice stuff TH
yeah but launches are bad for drivetrains and you rarely ever find yourself having to unless you're at the drag strip. Nty. The Type R gets the W for me (but the Corolla looks better)
he still managed a lot of sympathy for the clutch. It could have gone a lot worse for the civic with a slip/un-bog launch from the GR.
@@lefebvreplourde6793 yes, from GR yaris repeated tests, the fastest launches must include dropping the clutch from 5000+ rpm. He was quite considerate to the corolla.
@@connergoldberg bruh
That's what the car is built for
Hard launches
Hard corners
Hard acceleration
It's what's it's meant to do
That's why it was built the way it was
@@thedsmbroadway3780 Im not sure you understand what hard driving means, there's a difference between using the car and destroying the clutch by repeatedly dumping it.
It is crazy how much fun you are both having in cars that really aren't that fast compared to most of the cars you guys are testing. Goes to show, you don't need supercar to have fun.
A small, low powered car can be a ton of fun to drive. I've owned big power cars, race bikes, lots of fast toys. My civic si is probably my favorite car out of any of them. It's not fast, but its very sporty and its easy to push to its limits on the street. Add a few things suspension wise, and its able to run big power cars on winding roads all day lol.
Lol. Not that fast... 20 years ago this is what supercars were doing. A 1990 corvette zr1 did like a 4.5 0-60 that was like king back then haha
You guys never ever disappoint me love love the content!! Thank you for being part of my 2022 year! And here's some more amazing content for 2023!!
I love how through all these we've found out the old Type R is faster than all in a roll race lmao

@@DenisDamulira23hat issue is long gone bud. You’re living in 2020 lol. There are updates
“Is it stupid? Or is it sophisticated and beautiful?”
Questions I ask myself every day
Stupid if you think about it. 3 cylinders are unreliable needing to add counter weights to the design to even make it last through a warranty when another cylinder could have been had making the power ceiling even higher. It’s 2023 1000whp cars lose on the street today and Toyotas gonna come with a hatch 3 cylinder that looks like a sporty geo metro. Honda is under powered in my opinion as well but but at least you can mod them fit people and doesn’t look like a Gerbil mobile. Idk that’s my thoughts. Not saying it don’t have a place just saying it’s not gonna be winning anything on the street with that motor against anyone that half way serious. Don’t go to the track you will get your ass eaten. Which is funny because gasp racing designed this 🤣. I guess the restrictions are real where they are from.
@@joshreynolds729 underpowered?
@@gordonschiff3621 yes. Truly unless Gazoo Racing took the exact racing car they used with more hp then I might respect it but they didn’t. Yeah 2023. Ice is on a ticking clock nobody has time for holding back. Sure it’s impressive for what it is and that’s a boosted 3 cylinder. Just think if it had 3 more cylinders making that exact power x2 with bigger turbos and more exhaust is available to spool stock. The car would be 600hp easy. But they didn’t. Now your power roof and longevity are compromised. Making this basically a bad buy for the car enthusiast and for the average guy who like Toyota and what they represent which is reliability no? I know though power and reliability are opposites. I’ll never get why people are simply satisfied with stuff like this. Maybe you can shed some light?
Saw my first GR Yaris out in the wild this morning. Man it sounded and looked rather hilarious. Kudos for the person who got it, it's sure rather expensive, but I'm so glad that manufacturers still have the balls to make mad machines like that.
I have yet to see one
@@alexisquintero2782I see them quite often actually didn’t realise they were so rare where abouts are you guys from
CTR and GR Corolla sell for ADM. It would be silly for OEMs to not produce the vechiles based on profit margins and being a halo vechile for their brand. Still surpised Subaru abandon the STI
Why hilarious?
@@briangasser973 they just sell more junkie WRX instead I guess they figured 🤷
Civic and Corolla are rivals for life. Watching this is like back to the 90s in Initial D when AE86 and EK9 were matching.
The ae86 and ek9 were many years apart. I need a better Toyota/honda comparison
You guys are incredibly hilarious. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for providing a unique entertainment.
I honestly wasn't expecting the gr to be that good, really enjoying this channel
At the point of switching to electrics and add a 10k extra and instead any of these get a Hyundai Ioniq 5N
that is fast enough to destroy plenty modern sport-cars and with dual motor AWD for plenty bad weather safety grip..
@poplaurentiu4148 I do not like working on Korean cars. I do not like electric cars. I like cars I can get up to 245k miles and enjoy driving lol 😆 I'm also 6' 7" and 400lbs . I was just watching the video
@@poplaurentiu4148 Boring. I don't care how fast it is. I care how fun it is! Hooning around in a lightweight awd 6mt vehicle is a blast!
@@adamJeepstuff If you think Corolla GR hatch is bigger inside than a Ioniq 5N to fit your 6'7" and 400 lbs then you might be looking on the wrong video here.. in Europe we do have first gen electrics that reached out more than 250k miles with regular over the air software update, and periodical inspections and original factory battery it all depends of the user..
thought corolla would be bigger. damn, that type r is massive
Yeah the "Accord Type R" is pretty big. You park this bad boy outside your job, they won't be thinking "Oh he must be a new hire." 😂
The Civic lineup in general is massive. People praise how roomy they are and it’s really because the cars have grown to basically become the size of Accords from a few years ago.
@@theconformist2399 how much do they weigh
@@mogulme6190 3200 lbs, light as hell
They have gotten too big it’s sad really.
Can’t wait to see the videos of these modified and racing. They’re going to be awesome
That Corolla is quick but I’d definitely take the Type R. So much incredible engineering goes into the Type R. it’s way more practical and heaps better looking too. Both great cars.
But FWD 🤢 🤮
Civics were always fwd
@@moisescastillo6686 exactly 🤢 🤮
A review of two cars that no one can get. Awesome!
Exactly. These cars are supposed to be an everyman, daily driver sports car except that nobody can get one and they're going to end up as collector items instead of being driven. And I wouldn't blame them because using a car like this as a daily is just throwing money away with the way these are going to hold (or possibly appreciate) value.
LoL
You can get them just need $60k+ 😌
You can them. Just be prepared to take out a mortgage
The Civic Type R is a breeze to get. There are literally 100's of them sitting on dealer lots because nobody wants one
i recently found this channel and im just binging every single episode you guys made, 10/10 content :D
The ending was great. Well done! Love these videos.
These two cars aren't power crazy, not really designed to do the quarter miles or hwy pulls (you can but that's not where they shine). So why are we measuring this as a KPI and not how fast you can take a corner? It would be like taking a mustang and measuring its performance on how well you can touge. You can, but it just doesn't really make sense.
Never been so in love with a 3 cylinder before .
It's AWD😂😂💩
@@ashleysambo4104 AWD is the move 😉 especially that 5 cylinder AWD beast

If only you got the Yaris GR, our dear Canadian friends, that is where that engine truly belongs.
hopefully the GRY morizo edition will not be 70k..nor 60k..maybe even not 50k. If it is below 50k, it will sell like mad!, just imagine, 300 hp, 40-50kgs less, so, 1230-1240 kgs, that small body, that rally bred chassis... on a backroad or a mountain pass, nothing will stand a chance.. nothing!
I honestly like the gr corolla more
@@djpollo2474 it does not have the rally chassis.. and it is also bigger in size. They made it only because they could not sell the GRY in N america.

Great review. So disappointed that Subaru punked out on the new STI that ultimately didn’t happen. Would have been a great competitor in this field.
I bought an 04 STi new back in the day. That 305hp engine, trans, and proper LSD awd setup was amazing... back then. Sad to watch the STi just kind of die a slow death with Subaru not keeping it with the times.
Is because Toyota own Subaru, and is slowly killing the brand!
@@EfraKrajo Toyota owns 20% of Subaru …. not exactly a controlling interest. But Subaru seems to be focused on migrating toward hybrid and EV … and Toyota will be helpful in that regard.
@@EfraKrajo Subaru couldn't get the new engine to pass 2024 global emissions standards so there was no point to release the car for a year. Subaru's own poor engine tuning killed the STi. But really, what was the difference between the last 2-3 generations of the STi? They're all essentially the same. 300hp on an ever porkier car with the same Subaru AWD system. It's worked for 15 or whatever years it's been out in the states but it's the same. Not quite as bad as Nissan recycling their old cars with new skins but pretty close.
No it wouldn’t. STIs for the most part have been shitboxes and are only liked because of its old rally success (which has nothing to do with the production car).

The race we’ve all been waiting for on the grc forum lol
I’d be curious how a CE or core would do with the torque difference.
The same I'd imagine. Neither is winning the roll race. Of course would win from a dig. Based off this the fk8 would dust the GRC in a roll. And lose even worse from the dig.
Long gearing will help the core
@@singular9 the fk8 beat the fl5 in the roll by a decent bit. Check the earlier throttle house vid. Also, fwd with an lsd does great in the wet. AWD is better still.
@@singular9 Enjoy dropping the clutch and having fun in the rain. We'll buy the car that is better for everything else including the track.
@@singular9 for what it’s worth 5mph as a trap speed is a massive amount. I don’t know if that’s what this was, I’d guess it was more like 2 but, just saying.

@@FB6K24Z7 they go back and forth depending on the driver.
@@RcCrawlerGuythe EN is a Dct so there is nothing about being a good driver in that you just have to floor the juice paddle or if your shifting yourself just have to watch the rpm where as it takes more skill to shift a manual like the type r and if the driver in the type r knows how to shift guick and at the correct rpm the type r has more top end
I would pick the GR of the 4. Just great fun and measures up great to the rest.
That is one incredible 3 cylinder
This is the best hatchback drag race in throttle house I ever watch
Those two races went as expected - traction for the standing start and peak HP for the roll race, with both pretty close. Now, let's get them both on a track to see what happens there.

@@copperkeyracing6167 yeah it's fun but not cheap as in expensive, get it?

@@copperkeyracing6167 i think OP meant that they're aren't that cheap anymore
@Nick Ryan Except that when an EVO came out as a 2003 model, 20years ago, they cost $28,987... and by inflation, that would be $47,727 (using bls.gov) today. If you compare an EVO from 2003 to todays GR Corolla, stock to stock, in a back to back test, the GR Corolla would stomp all over the 2003 EVO, and it's been done... so, the price is not an issue, and the fun is not the issue. If you say, well, an EVO stomped on all it's competition then, so we need to compare the price on something like an RSX-S to the GR Corolla. Ok, then we have 21years ago, 2002, at $23650... which by inflation, would be $39,951... and that car is no fun compared to the GR Corolla, I've owned mine for 21years, handling absolutely sucks in comparison, and it's over 100hp less. So, no, price and fun is absolutely better than it use to be.
Throttle house is just god entertainment. Give James an Oscar already 😂😂😂
Good time to be alive with so many 300HP hot hatches

@@Khmersupra but 2 extra drive wheels beat that one missing cylinder argument. AWD is a huge advantage regardless of cylinders especially launching .
Man i want that GR.
The quick short shifts from the RS3 helped a lot.
Same thing happened in my wrx sti, from a dig my sti was about 4-5 car length ahead of the type r, also I should add the roads were a little bit wet from light drizzle. Type r has better top end, and he started reeling me in and passed me at about 160kph. I like the honda, but living in Northern Canada, nothing can make me own another fwd car. If I lived in California or somewhere similar, I'd definitely consider owning one.
The outcome is right on point. No surprises.
Both are excellent cars.
Awesome Race. Love your videos.
‘Economy brand hot hatches’. I wish it were so. Both these cars will be over $70,000 in Australia. Nuts.
The non Morizo versions are the comparison we want to see and much more relevant.

@@Michael-pi8ps Ikr I stopped reading the comments before watching the vid for that exact reason, it happens always
Not only that, but it looks like the Honda only outpaces the Yota at over 80mph.
I feel like the more important question for these cars is.... which is more fun and more capable in the corners? And since the Morizo is a limited run... how do the two base models compare?
The Morizo is about a car length faster, in the dig and roll race, than the two base models. On the track, about a second, but it's mostly the tires. The CTR and GR Corolla are equally fun and capable for the average, and even enthusiast driver. The experts will only notice a difference in the track times, barely, but a win is a win.
It's so funny when one of you starts rambling and the video just fades out. That's some top comedy right there hahaha
I own 23’ GR86 and it’s a blast. Next up to own is a GR Corolla I love this color
The FL5 is so beautiful! Great cars, don’t need the AWD and no snow in Australia so FL5 for me
James' closeout rant was the best part. too bad it faded out.
Yeah, I was confused about the fade out of the most interesting part. Comparing something to its competitors is where the meat is.
3 cyl with 1.6L vs 4cyl with 2.0L.. and yet the result at par.. what an owesome engine produced by Toyota.
Looking forward to try on Yaris GRMN
This channel has legitimately gotten me interested in one day (when I can afford a second car-and when cars are finally once again not crazy scarce & sold at ridiculous markups) purchasing a fun little affordable *driver’s* car like a Golf GTI, Miata, etc.

This... I didn't expect. This might be the best 3 cylinder ever.
GR is more bang for your buck. Less interior space but has that diff setup. 60/40, 30/70, 50/50. You get to set up the way the car handles.
0 to 60 and quarter miles are faster. And it can rally offroad. And conquer snow with ease. Plus it maintains its small size just like its hot hatch rivals.
Honda keeps making everything bigger they are out of touch with what made them famous. Small lightweight unique high revving hp per litre 8200rpm engines.
I was hoping for a track battle!
Gotta question on the race! I imagine 50/50 mode was used for the dig, but what mode was used for the roll? Since its a clutch style locking awd, whatever mode you have it in potentially absorbs power right? If multiple tests were done, was there a difference in speed with the 60/40 split vs the 30/70 vs the 50/50? Or just the same?
I’d imagine 30/70 would be best for a role. Less drive train loss when splitting up the HP.
Using the Morizo Edition GR Corolla to beat the Type R is like using a BMW M5 to beat a Mercedes Benz E-Class.
m5 cs？
It's funny how Roll racing is a thing.
More horsepower, more torque, better looks, same weight and better value for money. Type R is one hell of a deal
Type R some dealer around 80k .
i really like the contents, keep up the great work ThrottleHouse!
The 3cyl sounds like a 6cyl. So I like the sound of the 3cyl over the 4cyl.
I just love you ! J and T , You guys make car review fun !
So now the questions are
1. What time would the Moritzo edition do on your track?
2. The GR Corolla or the Yaris, which is faster?
Morizo times will depend upon 1) if the spring rate is too high for their bumpy /narrow track 2) if the shortened final drive works with their track and 3) if the cup 2's pay off on their surface. Expect up to say a just over a second if it mostly works out on their short track.
As for the second question the GR Yaris is faster. No spec implies the GR Corolla will be faster in any performance metric. Has worse power to weight, longer wheel base, more weight to turn/brake/accel, same drivetrain and suspension. The GRC is slower than the GRY.
The Elantra N is the real bargain here, great car, for much cheaper.

@@akush42069 smart people, and basically 6.5 million that bought a car from the Hyundai group in 2022. 3rd in the 🌎.
Until the Hyundai engine blows up 😅
I love how he thinks 2-3 car lengths = very very very close.... Also the Civic is a good looking car, the Corolla looks like a Toyota Yaris =/
Awd ftw.. buddy swapped his Sti for a GR and will never go back to subie let’s say that. The time Toyota spent developing the hatch 🐣 really paid off. The car has tight handling and suspension yet it glides on the road and just was an amazing experience over any other car I’ve driven.
I noticed at 2:00 you can see a valve open on the center exhaust on the Civic Type R when it is reving, pretty cool detail.
If you look closely, they are both having their center valve open and close, but the CTR has the sun reflecting back at you. The GR Corolla is electronic though, so it opens differently than the CTR, which is solely by exhaust pressure and counter weights.
@@copperkeyracing6167 the CTR exhaust valve is indeed electronic.
@jayson santiago Oh really!?! I didn't know. Many Type-Rs have had bypass valves, and in the past, they always worked by exhaust pressure and counter weights. I owned a DC5 Type-R exhaust, which I had on my DC5 Type-S, and it's bypass valve worked with exhaust pressure.
7:46 James and Han make an interesting point here that shows how time’s really can change. Nowadays, some folks might prefer to be rolling around in a new Hyundai than a Mitsubishi.
Not sure who those folks are
Hyundai has the N line who wouldn’t
In all fairness, Mitsubishi doesn't make anything worth noticing these days. If they still had the Lancer with Ralliart trim(of course offer the Evo), or a Galant with a VR4 trim, then the opposite would be true. Sadly, Mitsubishi isn't concerned about making cool cars anymore.
Hyundai offers a bunch of great cars compared to Mitsu. If Mitsubishi was still making any number of its consider stable of performance icons, I'd imagine they would be wildly more popular than the N Line.
@@BigRedtheGinger the Mitsubishi mirage in hot pink is cool ;-)
I'm impressed a 3 cylinder puts out that much power and its just mind blowing 🤯
They are balanced cars despite being different in some points, the result was just that for me nothing new but I would choose the Civic Type R for the design and engine
Where’s the EN DCT
Only you guys can make drag race as interesting 😂…keep up the great work
Never heard of Carwow?
Yeah, why?
Really want to see the Elantra N DCT vs. GR Corolla vs. Honda Civic Type R
Toyota's engineers casually breaking the laws of physics lol
Love That Civic Type R 😍
