Скачать или смотреть I’ve Owned My GR Corolla for 1 Year - My Honest Review

One year later, here’s the real review of my 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Circuit Edition. No fluff. No “daily driver comfort” talk. Just the truth about how this car holds up when you actually drive it like a performance car. I’ve put miles on the odometer the right way — backroad pulls, late-night runs, canyon carving, and track time. And after 12 months, I’ve got a lot to say.

In this video, I talk about the raw performance — how the GR-Four AWD system grips, how the 3-cylinder turbo pulls, and what it feels like banging through gears with that 6-speed manual. The throttle response, the clutch feel, the chassis balance — it’s all in here. I get into the stuff that matters to enthusiasts: the way it rotates, how it handles boost, the way the differential setup behaves under load. It’s not about MPG or trunk space — it’s about whether this hot hatch still gives me that grin every time I drive it. Spoiler: it does… mostly.

I also go into what’s changed with the car, what mods I’ve done, what problems have come up (if any), and how it stacks up now that the honeymoon phase is over. From exhaust upgrades to suspension tweaks, I break down what this platform is like to build on. If you’re cross-shopping this against a Civic Type R, WRX, or Golf R — or just trying to figure out if the GR Corolla is really worth it — this is the deep dive you’re looking for.

And if you already own one? You’ll either relate... or argue with me in the comments. Either way, I’m here for it.
