I don’t think you’ll regret it. All the things that some people don’t like about the car can be easily fixed. Unless they think it’s ugly, then there’s laser eye surgery/Specsavers. My first car was a 205 1.9 GTi. The GR Yaris actually reminded me of it as it felt naughty and made me grin in a...

I dread to think how unreliable their EVs are going to be!

Important to remember that whilst the GR Yaris was £30-£34,400 new, the lights are from the standard Yaris, a fairly budget supermini. They’re not going to compete with a C-class hatchback or a £100k sports car. Mine are mostly compared with a 20 year old Clio and a 2020 Ford Kuga. The Clio’s...

I found it harder and harder to skip past the shit bits. It was all the covid/vaccine stuff that killed it off for me. There was some great content on some of the subforums, but I started reading the same stuff (often from the same people) and felt I was going mad. It desperately needed/needs...

I saw this on Instagram. Very exciting, but personally it’s a visual demonstration of getting the fuel/air mix drastically wrong.

Yes I remember it well, where they openly gloat about the smugness felt in ‘turning left’ when entering an aircraft. Utter, utter, bellends. Everyone knows smugness should only start at owning your own Learjet 75.

I don’t visit PH anymore but it would be almost worth a revisit to see the thread about that. Lots of old farts who spend less than a fiver a year on their MX-5s going apoplectic with rage over a £125K Yaris.

Steve Sutcliffe vs. (in no particular order) Harry Metcalfe Jeremy Clarkson Chris Harris Walter Rohl Henry Catchpole Richard Meaden Colin Goodwin Jason Plato Matt Prior Vicki Butler-Henderson Etc. etc. and last but not least… Steve Sutcliffe...

I discovered it by accident just after moving here. It’s about 25 mins from me, of mostly twisty, gravelly roads made for the GR.

Apart from anything else, it avoids Birmingham. I’m 5 minutes from the end of the M4 if you want a coffee stop. 👍

God you’re right. The fact that there is no scenario where I’d want the seat to go higher meant I’d forgotten it’s adjustable. The passenger seat isn’t though, and it was enough to make my mate really hate the car when I first drove him in it. In fact, he whined on about it so much I wanted an...

Why did we buy a GR Yaris Special What don't we like about the car Seat height not adjustable. All modes and driver aids resetting every time ignition turned off. Rear view mirror too big and too low. What changes would we like to see to improve it Adjustable seat height Mode and driver...

Quite the opposite in fact. My wife and daughter have it. Back on topic. That Steve guy, what a c**t.

Not everyone gets it, and that’s part of the appeal for me.

You single-handedly brought back winter. You know that don’t you? 😂

Overthinking it. Get it bought. Wring its neck, loves it, it does.

Im confused. £36K Purchase price + £12K for mods = £48K. What’s the extra £12K for, numpty tax?

Mine came with one, in a leather wallet, with a handbook and some other bits. The dealership stamps it at the service too. The online/digital one is vague and inaccurate, I had the diff oils changed and the digital one had a truncated sentence for that and no mention of the service.

It was OK but nothing to see other than the stalls. I haven’t been before and wasn’t expecting the Goodwood Revival but was a bit disappointed. Needs more cars and some racing action.

Like buses they are. Two at Race Retro in Stoneleigh, and I let one out of a junction on my way back to South Wales, somewhere on a minor road crossing the M5 as I tried to thread my way through the car crash that is the English road network (125 miles, 4 hours!)
