RE: 2021 Toyota GR Yaris | UK Review

What an utterly brilliant car, congratulations Toyota 9n seemingly doing everything right

The Honda and Ford ST are not real competitors, this car is special, will secondhand examples ever dip below 20k ? I doubt it, limited edition, stone cold classic and withToyota build quality and reliability, they, nor anything is close

[cib24]

The only annoyance is that you can't have the circuit pack and convenience pack together, but that's a minor gripe.

For those that have seen them in the flesh what bis the best colour? White or red?

[K5tealth]

Does anyone know if this still comes with the Toyota 5 year warranty?

[Flanners]

Looks great fun and a good 'drivers' car, styling appears cut and shut half Fiesta ST half Civic R so rather novel. Wonder who a £32K bespoke/halo hot supermini is aimed at?

Will possibly dent Abarth/ST market as they are getting stale. Wonder what Toyota can now do with the GT86 to give it some decent ooomph.

I would consider one but not at £32K for a supermini nor to borrow for £20K+ for three or four years. (£3500dep £420pcm..36months)

£15K in 5/6 years I'm in!

Congrats to the team at Toyota.

reaches in the bottom drawer for the man-calculator....

This is definitely a want for my future garage, if I can get the man maths right, get my child in the back this will be a long termer for me, it’s better than the mini gp and can carry more people so it’s getting there, just wether Covid gets under control so I have more confidence to finance a car again! 😬

I guess I’m the target market. Hot hatch fan had an Abarth 595 Competizione with performance pack (LSD) and was hoping to swap to a refreshed 695 biposto this year that never came and instead you got an awful painted bodykit for £32k as their special edition!

So the new mini gp3 has awful looks and the reviews aren’t much better, civic typeR the looks again. i30N is the only thing that has peaked my interest apart from the Yaris but depreciation, reported poor fuel economy (only an issue for continental holidays) and reported paint issues had put me off.

So Yaris it is.

Looking forward to the Autocar test and seeing what the mags reckon

Sounds like a new GTi-R

Yes I'm rather pleased with the engine noise in the cabin, even if it is a little artificial.

I suspect that without ditching the GPF, you'll not get a really good 3pot noise out of the exhaust anyway.

[Augustus Windsock]

I’m old enough to remember the original Mk1&2 Escorts in RS1600/1800 flavours, then Escort Turbos and Cosworths.
For some reason this reminds me of a (smaller) Escort Cosworth, built for a reason and totally bat-st crazy in any other world.
Having been lucky enough to own those sort of cars, most modern stuff has, or had, left me jaded, but this has stoked the fires again.
Perhaps the options list ought to have a special ‘tick the box’ to send one to Theta Gruntburger, with an owner manual that tells her exactly where to stick it....

[CABC]

correctly tuned passive dampers
good gear ratios
engine that needs to rev
bespoke parts and design everywhere.

awesome

[evojam]

Hats off to Toyota for producing something like this with the costs involved,the man at the top is obviously a proper petrolhead.

[Truckosaurus]

I suspect this is going to be something that no-one actually buys so secondhand versions will command good money, as per the Lexus ISF.

[HazzaT]

To be honest making a revvy turbo 3 is the more impressive thing! The one in my ST can be revved up to just under 6.5k but it doesn't really feel like it wants to.
I'd love one of these, I'd say I'd get one cheap in 5 years but I feel like these will depreciate more like the Focus RS and lose a little bit before settling just north of 20k
