Yaris GRMN Yarismeister’s GRMN

[Yarismeister]

My GRMN, purchased recently after selling my GR. The GR was a fantastic car but I prefer to use the GRMN on a daily basis.

Very nice. Had a go in my friend's one some three years ago, was a lot of fun.

Will admit to never having seen on in the wild , how many are there in the U.K.

Cracking would like to hear it go see what it sounds like nice engine

I really like these! How do these compare to say fiesta ST’s, I assume they are direct rivals?

Does it have LSD?

I think the GRMN is a lot like the Corolla T-Sport back in the day. It's a cracking car that goes under the radar.

Cracking looking car, I bet it's great fun to drive.

I might be in the minority but I much prefer the look without the decals.

There are around 85 of these in the UK - a maximum of 100 were supposedly allocated here, but howmanyleft tops out at 94 in early 2019.

I love the decal-less look too, but not enough to take them off mine, which is totally standard.

@Chrisnufc Yep, they have a proper mechanical LSD, and it's an absolute blast on bends - I've never driven a FWD car that's so forgiving. It's quite stiff, but not uncomfortable, and it's much more potent than a Fiesta ST. It feels quite an old-school 'cammy' engine, as it really picks up from around 3,500rpm, and will bounce up to 7 in no time. The brakes are superb - exhaust note aside, they're my favourite feature!

The GRMN engine as an option in the GT86 would have been an amazing combo.
