I have owned 3 Subaru WRXs in the past, and I still can't get over how much better my GR Corolla feels.
Proud, that we've been saying "nice" at the same time.
did you meet SuperFastMatt?
This so far is so fun to watch
That steamboat winter driving course is super nice to drive. The instructors are great, the track is up to date, and there are plenty of precautions. I loved it when my dad brought me there after I got my permit.
We're just getting to the end of my first winter with my GR Corolla. I also ran the Viking Contact 7 tires, and the car performed phenomenally. Such a joy to drive in the snow
Man they nailed the wheel option for the GR. Continental side walls always complement a nice wheel. Lovely car you got.
BUT 70% power in back = moooooaaarrr FUN
I have a 24 Premium Plus and have the exact same complaints but other than those the car is awesome.
Man I just found out about this car yesterday after seeing a Corolla XSE hatch on the road the day before. I've been looking for a new hatch for a while now and haven't found anything I liked yet. This makes me want to go test drive in of these right now!
FINALLY!! A follow up video on your GRC!
Hell yeah! More GRC content please. You're a legend mate. Knowing I drive the same car as you somehow makes it even cooler.
I've had my 24 GR Corolla Premium for 15 months. It is genuinely a fantastic car! My previous car was a 2006 WRX Wagon (I had it for 11 years), so a turbo'd AWD (with a manual) is something I'm quite familiar with. The fact that the tire pressure monitor does disappear, as you've stated, is annoying. I do wish that I could set the torque split at 30/70 as the default (I really don't like the front wheel drive feel). The speaker wiring is frustrating. The door woofers and the dash speakers are on the same circuit, and there isn't a lot of power available. The A pillar speakers are on their own circuit, which makes no sense as they draw the least amount of power. Having the dash and A pillar speakers paired, and the door speakers on their circuit would be a better setup for those that want to upgrade the existing speakers without having to install a dedicated amp. The stock rear speakers are nearly silent, which is also frustrating. Short of those things, it is nearly a perfect car. :)
I just picked up ‘25 Premium 3 weeks ago. Already have 1800 miles on it. 😅 I replaced my ‘17 GTI DSG. I love having a manual again!
Just picked up a ‘25 Core MT. I love it!
I guess we get to see who’s faster at editing 😅
Loving my 2025 GRC!
The cruise control system and the actual speedometer calculate speed differently. It basically comes down to a difference in rounding that keeps the speedometer speed different than your cruise control speed. Been working work with Lexus vehicles for years and they have been this way for as long as I can remember.
Yes, the throttle control is tuned perfectly. I usually get something like a pedal commander to fine tune the throttle but the GR Corolla does not need it.
