Back in a Toyota

[cirian75]

After my brief ownership on a base spec 2021 Yaris 1.5 Icon Yaris Hybrid.

The 115 spec engine is to be avoided, the 130 is much smoother and quieter,

I'm going to be back in a Toyota.

2025 Corolla 2.0 196hp GR Sport.

Pick it up Friday.

Good choice, I m back in a similar one myself except it s the base icon.

I believe they dropped the horsepower to 175hp through software just to get a lower emissions figure on later cars. Mine is also a 25.

The performance is supposed to be almost identical though at 7.4 seconds to 62mph in both, so likely just the way it shows up on the official test calculation for the combined electric and petrol motors.

I've had a 23 model 2 litre Excel for 6 months. I like it, and it's surprisingly quick and economical. Fortunately I can turn off all the driver aids, and they stay off for subsequent starts!
