    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Automatic gearbox issue: paddles do not upshift under acceleration?

    Can we please stick with the topic: a paddle-shift override (only upshift!) does not work. I’ve tested many scenarios, but no answer here was really explanatory. Another example: straight highway in Germany, no incline, cruise control on 180, and car stays in 7th, not 8th (although rpm in 8th...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Automatic gearbox issue: paddles do not upshift under acceleration?

    Hey y’all, besides having the issue of the constant grin on my face 🤪 after 1.200km and the first oil change by now, there is one really weird thing: the paddles do not work as an override in upshifting under decent acceleration. Here’s the situation: overtaking somebody, say, in 3rd gear, accel...

    Toyota marketing brochures told me it’s a Rallye car. ==> I was just about to go to a motocross track and practice some jumps. Now I’m reconsidering😉

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Mk2 waiting list

    Also in Italy: Ordered on March16th, zero info all those months, finally a surprise delivery today (Nov29th) Winter tyres mounted this afternoon, then had to immediately show her around her new place! She loves it! The perfect tool for the Dolomites😉

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Process for purchase

    My bet is on some guy from France who then gets charged another 75K in road taxes. Still cheaper and more fun than that banana with duck tape.

    Well, that pilot is very fast on the Nordschleife, as seen with the Misha episodes. And the additional 160kg of biomass on board of course doesn't help, as very noticeable in the carrousel.

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

    Saw this car yesterday in front of my supermarket. Unfortunately I didn’t look him up right then&there, but did today: „Starting in 2021, he (Latvala) served as the team principal of Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT, replacing Tommi Mäkinen.[1]“(!) Damn, I’m still so ignorant about WRC and GR‘s...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) New GR Yaris

    Very different review (of the GR Corolla, but since most parts and engine are the same), still very interesting for us GRY’s This guy views it from a car mechanic’s POV, not the usual stupid bla bla YT influencers: engine, reliability, ease of maintenance, underbody structure, …

    GR Yaris Misha just gave us all a present!

    My sophisticated PhD research on YouTube concluded that we are looking at 2 different GR Yaris’s. There’s the grey one in front, the driver is “Tom” (later he’s the passenger with Misha), supposedly with 370+, and the now blown up engine (but my research didn’t find the respective source for...

    GR Yaris Misha just gave us all a present!

    This is hilarious: a pimped E46, supposedly with 480 hp on the wheel (sure…), with Misha piloting it. And 2 GR’s just flying by: There is also the parallel video on that situation of the Yaris owner, very interesting how much extra weight he had on board: A true blessing to the (pretty...

    Now I get it, why y’all burn your cars in the streets regularly. They’re just too expensive. When is the 2nd French Revolution starting? I’d like to get tickets!
