Jonny unknowingly at the time played a part in the name of this forum, as he and Richard always mentioned the Grrrrr Yaris.

Kept saying it at the Late Brake Show event in Manchester last year, before this forum was created.

It's thanks to them that I can't see a ffffwAARDDS-aahhh traaaaaaaaaaaaaansit without giggling.
 
I've watched the video, can't share it on here I'm afraid but he's very positive about it, it feels analogue and doesn't understand the spec differences between manual and auto models. Also spends a good few minutes chatting with @Fensport (y)

Video is published on YouTube tomorrow at 5pm.
 
Thank you @mackie LOL at 5 minutes 25 seconds. My other half is on a work call, interupted them with my laughter so much she had to go on mute. Classic!!
 
Just watched it. Love JS and this review just further hammers home now good of a decision we’ve all made (and how lucky we are, even if it doesn’t feel that way all the time)!
 
I'm a big fan of JS, and glad that he's one of the first to get hold of one in the UK to get a video onto YouTube. He's pretty much summed up what it is about the GR86 that attracted me to it, and it seems to tick all the boxes for me from what he's saying. Very interesting to hear how good it was for him with regards to mpg. Not long now, and a few more of us will be able to experience it properly for ourselves.

He also said something along the lines of "they've managed to add stuff in without making it any lighter" when I assume he meant "heavier".

Doesn't matter. First proper review I've seen on UK roads, and from one of my favourite journalists. Happy :)
 
I had a quick chat with Jonny last night. Told him about the right Royal f*ck-up of deliveries by TUK, which he wasn't aware of. He did wax lyrical about the GR86 and said how lucky I was to have one on order. The 'live' podcast was a decent event too even if there was snow on the ground and it wasn't that warm in the marquee.
