Reviews vs reality: GR Yaris 2021
Discussion
2121: we all spend a lot of time reading about rather than driving cars.
I read the frothy reviews of the GR Yaris and I thought "Wow - once in a generation deal breaking opportunity - let's drive one!"
Test driving the GR Yaris yesterday I thought "Loved it. Excellent, 9/10: rear biased, lively and agile. BUT compared to my Golf R 7 manual not THAT different. I drove the same roads as the test drive in my car - and I'd say 8/10. The GR Yaris is a full 1/10 better"
Question: are we all spending hours frothing at the mouth with nothing better to do? Are we seeking minor differences for the sake of one-up-manship? Are the reviewers here describing small nuances with loud voices to sell new metal?
I accept the alternative possibilities, including:
1) I have no judgment
2) The test drive was too short etc
I am perplexed. I look forward to sobering up and reading your replies.
