1. Is the 3 cylinder a new engine or has Toyota used it in other cars in the past besides the Yaris?

2. all the gr cars are sick!!!!!

3. Beamers last a out 60000 miles and then everything falls apart.

4. It sounds cool and all, but $50K+ for a Corolla… yeah I don't think so.

5. This ain’t your grandmothers Corolla

6. Just got mine 2 days ago

7. i have a 23 Yaris GR if you want to compare it

8. 'Plants aren't sports cars…'
   Lotus disagrees xD

9. So buy a Core and modify it?

10. Lots of Donut love for Yaris and Corolla. Lots of Donut hate for the C-HR, built on the same platform as Corolla.

    The show is great, but a bit inconsistent. What makes a car show spectacular as opposed to just basic is not disregarding entire cars as if they don't exist simply because you're not familiar with them. A good way to combat that is by getting familiar with them.

    There are circuit versions of the C-HR. Just saying. Donut has held up lessor cars out there.

11. I own a 2021 Corolla SE, she's slow but i love this little thing! It's like a little golf golf kart. I also haven't had a manual in a little while so that's nice too.

12. It looks good but would you rather have this or the GR Yaris?

13. Anything turbo charged in a regular economy class vehicle will not last more than 100,000 miles so just remember that most of those turbos are very small and people are gonna beat the hell out of them they’re gonna blow up before 100,000 miles

14. 30 and 70% needs to switch their places for understeer avoidance

15. Damn no automatic

16. Its Fwd, they failed!

17. the 86 was always the 86 it was only rebranded in america

18. More of Nolan doing these reviews, he really knocks it out of the park. he's also by far the least annoying of the guys, he knows how to balance goofy and serious so much better

19. Since the Evo and the sti has gone to shit. I want a gr corolla. As a family car lol.

20. Toyota got it 100% wrong. WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE, was simply give the USA the GR Yaris. That Toyota didn't bring the GR Yaris to the USA is THE SINGLE BIGGEST DICK MOVE in automotive history.

    The GR Corolla is an already proven loser. Look at the Ford Focus RS. By all accounts, great performing hot hatch. BUT, really, it was just a big engine stuffed into an ECONO car. And no one wants to pay $40k+ for a dam ECONO car. That's why the Focus RS only lasted 2 years. People got it, then realized they paid $40k+ for a cheap plastic tin can, that happened to be really quick.

21. nolan honestly doesnt appreciate what the gr corrolla actually is and what it is capable of. maybe he doesnt know, but come on he really missed out on a lot of key details which makes this car the legend it already is

22. Celica 4

    Any other toyota sportscar ?

23. Did Nolan actually get one yet? Got mine just over a week ago and absolutely love it!

24. Have honestly been thinking of trading my 22 Veloster N DCT in for one as I can literally get pretty much what I paid for the VN on trade lol the biggest downside to the gr is as for boost and engine it’s pretty much topped out for what you can do to it from factory 😞

25. girl car, not manly at all

26. Why would anyone buy a 50k 3 cylinder Corolla?

27. Add 10k to the msrp for the actual price. Stealer ships are making it impossible to buy cars now a days not inflation.

28. Love to see Nolan hosting. He does a great job!

    I also love to see more true car content on the channel. It seemed like there was a lull in quality content for a bit. Too many “cheap/dumb car accessories” D-List videos there for a bit. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy D-List videos, but it gets a bit overdone and boring when they’re the only thing we’re getting.

    The Donut team has the ability to make some great content, and when they’re allowed to shine, they do amazing. But it seemed like things were getting a bit bogged down for a bit. Even the attitude on the D-List episodes seemed tired and unenthusiastic. D-List is great, but ya gotta keep up the variety!

    I know you got this, Donut!

29. I don’t care what anyone says, the new Supra is bad ass, and looks way cooler than the old one. The old one is better for modding to make big power, but the new one is plenty capable on its own, especially around a track.

    Also, the GR Corolla and Yaris are also bad ass. Putting out mad decent power from only 3 cylinders, and handling amazingly. With awesome race inspired features, like manual power bias control.

    Honestly, I’ve gotten to the point where cars like the GR Corolla/Yaris get me waaaay more excited than a new Lamborghini or Ferrari. Supercars just don’t excite me much. I think it’s honestly because I have no desire to put that much money into one car. I’d rather get 2-3 cars for that same amount of money. Cars that I can rip on and have fun with, not baby around because tapping the bumper would cost 10’s of thousands of dollars. Call me broke 🤷🏻‍♂️ but that’s just the way I feel.

30. I'm considering trading in my Focus ST for one of these. Maybe I'll wait a few years and see if they do a refresh though.

31. Silly question. Do you think a change in Psi would effect the shift differential even with 70/30? That way there is more of a drift effect? Or would the only to really make the tail fling out is the hand break? Or would simply turning the wheels sharply do that for you too? Just kinda curious on this aspect.

32. It certainly does or I never would have taken delivery of one last week

33. i have the base model corolla hatch, and i bought it at the best time which means trading in is not a smart idea cuz all my rates will go up, but i might have the dealership order me a gr and say fuck it

34. Annnnnnd the Supra was a head of shit.

35. Nolan is by far my favorite of the donut crew

36. Looking to get it soon

37. What a shameless commercial

38. Love your playstation shirt Gran turismo 7 is the best car game ever made

39. I wished Nissan brought back a slightly detuned version of the Juke R

40. The UK get the Yaris and the US get the corolla…. Not sure how I feel about this

41. My home track!

42. 5:34 – the fingerprint lol

43. I love this format, it's like the new Top Gear we never got.

44. Meh, could have gotten one of these but I love my 2022 wrx. It comes at 12 psi on purpose but turning up the boost to 20 blows these cars away. Toyota owns a good portion of Subaru and they had the wrx tuned down and dropped the sti so the new corolla could shine as the best car in that range based on numbers.
    Looks like a really fun car though and I'm sure it's awesome but the Wrx is still the best.

45. I can’t wait to see all the ones with the fiber roof’s going permanently convertible in the future from dry rot lol. But that said I really want one but just as a toy so the base is what would want.

46. I want one

47. MSRP 35K… Actual RP 45K. Id rather get a manual American V8

48. I think it's weird sports car enthusiasts that don't like wide body flared fenders. If you like sports cars presumably you like race cars, being that they are the epitome of a performance car. Virtually every race car has flared fenders to accommodate wider wheels. Flared fenders are kind of the ultimate purpose full appearing modification. They make the statement that the wheels of the car are about business without making the entire rest of the car look overly bulky and wide. I just can't imagine why someone who likes sports cars would not like flared fenders…

49. It really is a shame that very few people will be able to afford and purchase these type vehicles in the future due to stealer-ships! Direct sales by the automaker to the public is only way to save these type enthusiast vehicle for the future!
