    This IS the car to get for those that were wishing Subaru brought back the hatchback WRX.
    Dimensionally identical to the 2011-2014 hatch WRX, but with reliable fuel efficient power and modern day amenities.

    With the lack of availability and price gouging, this car is all but vaporware.

    @steven mcgeorge the drivetrain was built for homologation in the Yaris prior to rule change. It’s essentially a larger GR Yaris, so it’s as close to a homologation rally car as possible. Actually - it’s closer than any WRX STI we ever received since our cars ran a 2.5 vs the 2L max capacity in wrc back in the day

    What I don't like is that every youtuber/journalist are ONLY (it seems like) reviewing or using the Morizo or Circuit Editons. Most people will own the Core. That's the one youtubers/journalists should focus on...

      @@Toyota4Life I haven’t seen any major reviews done on the Core. They are only focusing on the Circuit and Morizo editions, which here in Canada are almost impossible to buy. My local dealer said they “might get 1 or 2 Circuit editions over the next year”. Really no point in focusing on the models that people can’t buy. Spyder Zetta is absolutely right.

      That's the consequence of basing it on an economy car, which in my opinion is the biggest downside of these types of cars. Not necessarily a deal-breaker for most people though.

    One problem with this video. The GR Corolla is not a homologated rally car, yet it's referred to as one multiple times.

    • @KN-jw7ts
      @KN-jw7ts Před 9 měsíci +2

      Well…..here in the states, it’s the closest thing to a homologation special that we’ve ever gotten. And not hard to understand that every mechanical/electromechanical component of this car was motor sports derived and yanked straight out of the Yaris.

    I hate that Toyota sends in a ringer trim that no one without unlimited money can acquire. What about sending the Core which is more 'attainable' for the overwhelming majority of buyers.
