I absolutely love the GR, and have been tempted by one ever since they were released. I really need to get to a dealer and have a closer look around one.

What is the boot like on them? Big enough for a dog for the odd journey?

Seats down, one off while mrs defender was otherwise in use.

Check out that evil scratchy paw on the paint

boot size is awful!! big enough for 3x backpacks.

Yep I wouldn’t be putting a dog in there without the seats down.

The dogs don’t live the ride and gearshifts though..! you have to really drive gently

Yes. Seats fold down and Lab has traveled a couple of times for about 20 miles when the disco was otherwise engaged.

Well, I just took a 4-man tent to Le Mans and back, with all the usual trimmings that demands.

750 mile round trip, two up. No problem

Please help me with my wider education - but....

I did used to forest rally etc. etc (in all sorts of cars); love Integrales etc. & used to own a new Impreza; but every time I examine a GR Yaris more closely, when at rest, 'fraid the answer always is 'no'.

Understand it's an awesome experience at the wheel, but for me a car has also to be something you look back at; after it's parked.

Whilst whatever's under the skin, no Yaris can win that effect. Just like my old (new) Impreza, whatever the driving experience, it's the overall aesthetic effect of the tinplate which really counts for me. And that's where it fails.

So please - kind members of the panel - just tell me why I'm wrong.

Answers invited on a postcard...

I've been on the fence whether to run my much delayed GR Yaris which will be 2 years+ to get delivered. Your post had to some extend helped me come to a decision and I've bought an Audi B7 RS4 which will be my daily for now as I should be more excited about this car than I am. I'm planning to take delivery of my GR Yaris in September ?? then put it on Motorway for a dealer to buy.

Why not just cancel the order? Are they even selling for overs these days?

Overs were around £750 last year for a brand new first registration car (delivery in 2 weeks) - I was offered a few at around this level (last June) and took up one offer. Motorway reserve offer on a 23 plate CP car with 10 miles today is £35,100

If you have the old price locked in you might be lucky, but i'd speak with your dealer before collecting it and registering, as they might give you the best price.

Just seen this. I reckon that it would be a proper giggle.

Good effort, but slightly different to squeezing a big dog in

I like that, so cute but cool and fast, its a crazy but lovely mix :-)

How many left has been updated with Q4 sales.

4,401 circuit
183 convenience
153 standard

4,737 total.

There are some waiting on deliveries still but they keep getting pushed back (current estimates are September). Suspect we could end up closer to 5,000 cars in the UK overall at a guess.

Just purchased car and will pick up soon after a few details dealt with.

Who are people using for insurance (ideally with track day cover) ?

So, watching the video on youtube about Rowan Atkinson driving the hydrogen-fuelled GR Yaris it turns out that he has a GR Yaris himself!

[chillbill]

I imagine he would

Received mine 2 weeks back. Now fully run in (1200+ kms).



Love it.

I sold my GR last year due to the arrival of our second baby. I'd love to get back into one soon what's the market like for these? Is it impossible to get a new car?

You haven’t been able to order a new car since June/July 2021.

There are very few cars being delivered now with the current estimate for the final car delivered around Christmas.

Still no news on if the 25,000th car will be the last or if a new run will happen. With production slowed right down and struggling to deliver the final orders I just can’t see another run happening.

Plenty of low mileage cars for sale out there.
