00:00:00
hello everyone and welcome I am stoked
00:00:03
because this is my new 2024 Toyota gr
00:00:07
Corolla circuit Edition now perhaps
00:00:10
you're wondering why not get the updated
00:00:12
2025 version or why not get a Civic Type
00:00:15
R what's so appealing about the gr
00:00:18
Corolla will you ever drive it over 85
00:00:20
mph we are going to get into all of this
00:00:23
and much more as from an engineering
00:00:25
perspective this is a really unique and
00:00:28
incredibly cool car and I'm stoked to
00:00:30
finally have a manual transmission back
00:00:32
in my garage now perhaps you're
00:00:34
wondering Jason why do you have the car
00:00:36
lifted up well the gr Corolla has a very
00:00:39
unique all-wheel drive system so we're
00:00:42
going to perform a fascinating little
00:00:44
experiment to demonstrate how it works
00:00:47
you see most cars that are all-wheel
00:00:49
drive if you were to lift them up and
00:00:51
turn the car on the front wheels would
00:00:53
rotate at exactly the same speed as the
00:00:56
rear wheels assuming all-wheel drive is
00:00:58
engaged that makes sense right because
00:01:00
if these wheels were spinning faster
00:01:02
than these wheels and the car was on the
00:01:04
ground well they'd be fighting against
00:01:05
each other but the gr Corolla is not
00:01:08
like most vehicles in fact the rear axle
00:01:11
is geared such that it spins 7% faster
00:01:16
than the front axle so that is to say if
00:01:18
the front tire were to be spinning at
00:01:20
1,000 RPM the rear tire would be
00:01:23
spinning at 17 RPM but wait I just said
00:01:27
that that would cause the tires to fight
00:01:29
against each other and that's true so
00:01:32
what's the solution well coming from
00:01:34
your transmission you have a drive shaft
00:01:36
going back to the rear differential and
00:01:38
before that rear differential there is a
00:01:40
clutch pack and this clutch pack slips
00:01:42
so in reality when both tires are on the
00:01:44
ground they will be rotating at the same
00:01:47
speed now because the rear wheels want
00:01:50
to spin faster than the front wheels due
00:01:52
to gearing the more you squeeze this
00:01:54
Center clutch pack the more the rear
00:01:56
axle saps away Torque from the front
00:01:59
axle it effectively acts like a break
00:02:02
the rear axle tries to slow down the
00:02:05
front axle and in doing so pulls that
00:02:08
torque to the back as much as
00:02:10
70% now that is extremely cool and of
00:02:14
course I believe Toyota when they tell
00:02:16
me that it has a 7% faster rotating rear
00:02:19
axle but you know seeing is believing so
00:02:23
I stuck a piece of tape on the top of
00:02:26
each tire in theory if the front tire
00:02:29
rotates the 1,000 times the rear tire
00:02:31
should rotate 1,7 times 17 / 1,00
00:02:38
17 or a gear that rotates 7% faster so I
00:02:43
hopped in the car put it in rear torque
00:02:46
bias mode so that it locks the center
00:02:48
clutch as much as possible slowly let
00:02:51
out the clutch and the wheels literally
00:02:54
didn't even budge and the engine stalled
00:02:57
what okay so traction control control
00:03:00
and stability control systems don't like
00:03:02
it when wheels are up in the air so I
00:03:04
fully disabled traction and stability
00:03:06
control let the clutch out and away we
00:03:09
go now I won't make you sit here and
00:03:11
count the rotations like I did but you
00:03:13
can see after 20 wheel rotations of the
00:03:15
front tire the rear tire is slightly
00:03:18
ahead after 40 rotations it's about a
00:03:21
quarter turn ahead and if we speed this
00:03:23
up after 159 rotations of the front tire
00:03:28
the rear tire had 60 rotations one
00:03:32
complete additional rotation how cool is
00:03:35
that okay so 160 divided 159 equal
00:03:41
1.63 not quite
00:03:43
1.07 but very close and honestly I
00:03:47
wasn't expecting it to be perfect
00:03:49
because if you have any slip in that
00:03:50
Center clutch the speed differential is
00:03:53
going to be less than 7% you could also
00:03:56
have some slight variations in wheel
00:03:58
speed from the left wheel to the right
00:04:00
wheel though limited slip differentials
00:04:02
help minimize this but okay close enough
00:04:05
and it proves Toyota is doing exactly
00:04:07
what they said they are doing again I
00:04:09
wasn't doubting them it's just cool to
00:04:11
see it in person so just to recap when
00:04:14
the wheels are on the ground obviously
00:04:16
they're going to be rotating at the same
00:04:18
speed assuming you're driving in a
00:04:19
straight line a center clutch has 7%
00:04:23
slip so while the rear axle wants to
00:04:25
rotate faster than the front a center
00:04:28
clutch slips to prevent that that from
00:04:30
happening all right how about an example
00:04:32
say you apply zero pressure to that
00:04:35
clutch pack that's sending the torque to
00:04:36
the rear well in that case all of your
00:04:39
torque would simply go to the front
00:04:41
tires though this basically never
00:04:43
happens with the gr Corolla the standard
00:04:46
torque split is 60/40 where you engage
00:04:49
that Center clutch a bit and again the
00:04:51
rear axle acts like a brake and it
00:04:54
drinks the milkshake of the front axle
00:04:56
stealing that torque for its own use the
00:04:59
the more you engage that Center clutch
00:05:02
the more torque the rear axle steals
00:05:04
maxing out at a 3070 split so 70% of the
00:05:09
torque to the rear tires wait a minute
00:05:11
did somebody just say tires okay a huge
00:05:15
thanks to today's sponsor Continental
00:05:17
they've hooked up my new ride with the
00:05:19
extreme contact sp2s these are an ultra
00:05:22
high performance summer tire that are
00:05:24
excellent in both wet and dry conditions
00:05:27
if you look at any third party test
00:05:30
you'll find these things have crazy grip
00:05:32
really good stopping distances and
00:05:35
surprisingly for a high performance
00:05:37
summer Tire they actually have good
00:05:39
tread life now if you don't need the
00:05:41
highest performance or you want a tire
00:05:43
that you can run year round they also
00:05:45
have the extreme contact dws06 plus this
00:05:49
is a high performance All Season that
00:05:51
still has really good wet and dry grip
00:05:54
but it can even handle light snow I
00:05:56
actually debated between these two tires
00:05:58
and if this was a real rear wheel drive
00:06:00
car I might have gone with the dws06
00:06:02
plus having a little less grip can make
00:06:05
a rear wheel drive vehicle a bit more
00:06:07
lively in this case because of its
00:06:09
really good all-wheel drive system it
00:06:11
already has so much grip so sliding in
00:06:14
dry conditions isn't realistic going
00:06:16
with the ECS O2 simply means maximizing
00:06:19
performance and when snow starts to fall
00:06:22
I'm going to throw it on some Viking
00:06:24
contact sens oh boy look at all these
00:06:26
tires you should see my basement it is
00:06:29
truly a beautiful site to see I've been
00:06:31
running the extreme Conta sport o2s on
00:06:34
my model 3 Performance as well as my gr
00:06:36
Corolla it's a super grippy very
00:06:39
responsive super fun Tire you can find a
00:06:42
link to it in the video description okay
00:06:45
I've gotten distracted let's get back to
00:06:47
the gr Corolla now I don't want to say
00:06:49
that I have a type but this is the third
00:06:52
time that I've bought a hatchback that
00:06:55
is all-wheel drive that has a manual
00:06:58
transmission that is built in Japan that
00:07:01
is blue so maybe I have a type but I'm
00:07:05
here to convince you that I bought this
00:07:07
for completely different reasons than I
00:07:08
bought my STI or the cross Trek you see
00:07:11
when I bought the STI I didn't have
00:07:14
access to press cars I hadn't driven all
00:07:16
of the options so I bought something
00:07:18
that I thought sounded good on paper and
00:07:21
in my opinion while the STI is super fun
00:07:24
if you're driving on dirt or snow I'm
00:07:26
not a huge fan of how it drives on roads
00:07:29
it just doesn't feel that special on
00:07:32
pavement the cross Trek was a practical
00:07:34
purchase it just so happens to have a
00:07:36
ton of similarities but it wasn't
00:07:38
purchased as a toy like the STI was now
00:07:42
because of my history with the STI I
00:07:44
didn't actually expect to like the gr
00:07:47
Corolla on paper it sounded exactly like
00:07:50
the things that I have learned after
00:07:52
driving hundreds and hundreds of cares
00:07:55
that I don't like first it has a tiny
00:07:58
engine just 1.6 L and only three
00:08:02
cylinders how disappointing second it's
00:08:06
heavily boosted over 25 psi of boost I
00:08:10
don't like turbocharged engines I just
00:08:12
don't the turbo lag the lack of
00:08:14
bottom-end torque it's just not for me
00:08:16
so what an absolute shock that when I
00:08:19
drove the gr Corolla for the first time
00:08:22
I I fell in love this really is
00:08:25
something special something that
00:08:27
shouldn't exist that fin eventually
00:08:29
makes very little sense but it's a
00:08:32
project built out of passion the car the
00:08:34
Enthusiast engineers at Toyota wanted to
00:08:37
make and more importantly did so let's
00:08:40
go on a journey exploring this
00:08:42
incredible machine starting with the
00:08:43
engine on paper as I mentioned this
00:08:46
engine is everything I hate in an engine
00:08:49
it's tiny and heavily boosted and yet
00:08:52
somehow it works despite the size it's
00:08:55
making 300 horsepower at 6500 RPM and
00:08:59
thanks to advancements in modern turbos
00:09:01
hits a peak torque of 273 lb feet at
00:09:05
just 3,000 RPM now I mentioned it's tiny
00:09:08
at 1.6 L but it's a big or should I say
00:09:12
honest 1.6 L
00:09:15
1.618 L to be precise plenty of times
00:09:18
manufacturers will state hey it's a 5.0
00:09:21
L V8 and turns out it's actually only
00:09:25
4.95 L you know like how dudes are
00:09:28
always saying they're SI ft tall and
00:09:30
it's like look man even with boots on
00:09:32
it's not happening oh sorry there's no
00:09:35
shame in being 5'9 anyways it's a big
00:09:38
three-cylinder and another cool thing
00:09:41
about three cylinders unlike four
00:09:43
cylinders is that they have naturally
00:09:45
balanced primary and secondary forces so
00:09:47
they're actually very smooth despite not
00:09:50
having as many cylinders firing that's
00:09:52
me coping with the fact that it only has
00:09:53
three cylinders and the Turbo is
00:09:55
cranking out so much boost 25 .2 PSI
00:10:00
it's difficult to overstate just how
00:10:03
potent these three Pistons are we're
00:10:05
talking absolutely chart topping
00:10:07
cylinder pressures for a production car
00:10:09
the torque produced per liter is more
00:10:12
than double what you'd see in a typical
00:10:14
car these days what it lacks in size it
00:10:17
makes up for in spice definitely not
00:10:20
relatable another cool thing about this
00:10:22
engine is that it uses Toyota's d4s fuel
00:10:25
injection system so you have direct
00:10:27
injection but you also have port
00:10:29
injection now every time I chat with a
00:10:32
Powertrain engineer about direct
00:10:33
injection systems they tell me two
00:10:35
things first direct injection does in
00:10:38
fact cause carbon deposits to build up
00:10:40
on the intake valves but second that
00:10:42
they don't care because they don't see
00:10:44
negative consequences from it personally
00:10:47
I like the Peace of Mind knowing that it
00:10:49
has port injection because it means that
00:10:51
it keeps the intake valves clean I had
00:10:53
significant deposits on my direct
00:10:55
injection Miata with just over 30,000
00:10:57
mil on it at the same point I've seen a
00:11:00
Toyota d4s engines valves with
00:11:03
120,000 M on them and the intake valves
00:11:06
have almost no deposits while it is not
00:11:09
the main purpose of d4s it clearly is an
00:11:12
effective method of keeping the valves
00:11:14
clean moving on to the transmission the
00:11:16
only option for the 2024 gr Corolla is a
00:11:20
six-speed manual and it's a good one
00:11:23
really solid feeling shifter and a lot
00:11:25
of stiffness so it doesn't rattle about
00:11:27
it's an easy vehicle to Drive easy to
00:11:30
operate the clutch and if you want you
00:11:32
can push a button and it will
00:11:33
automatically rev match your downshifts
00:11:35
my only complaint is that it does have
00:11:37
some rev hang it's not the worst
00:11:39
Defender out there there are certainly
00:11:41
worse examples but there are better
00:11:43
examples too as for the gearing I love
00:11:46
it you have to shift the gearing is not
00:11:49
that dissimilar from something like a
00:11:51
Miata except you have way more power
00:11:53
short gearing simply put is more fun not
00:11:57
only do you have more wheel torque but
00:11:58
you have to to shift more and that's
00:12:00
part of the joy in manuals what's
00:12:02
interesting is this thing basically tops
00:12:04
out exactly at 60 M hour in second gear
00:12:08
so you'll see a lot of variance in the 0
00:12:10
to 60 times depending on the testing
00:12:13
methodology for example Caron driver
00:12:15
claims 60 in 4.9 seconds likely in
00:12:18
second gear while Motor Trend says 0 to
00:12:21
60 takes 5.4 seconds while hitting 60 in
00:12:24
third gear which is a better way of
00:12:26
launching the car since you don't slam
00:12:28
into the 7 200 RPM rev limiter to make
00:12:31
the 60 time happen but 60 is just an
00:12:33
arbitrary number so who cares if the
00:12:36
gearing messes it up to me I love the
00:12:38
gearing strategy here it's much more
00:12:41
aggressive than a lot of modern manuals
00:12:43
from the transmission we move on to the
00:12:45
all-wheel drive system which as we've
00:12:47
discussed is truly special it's actually
00:12:49
the first new all-wheel drive system
00:12:51
Toyota has created for a sports car in
00:12:54
over 20 years unlike plenty of modern on
00:12:57
demand style all-wheel drive systems
00:12:59
that are front-wheel drive biased and
00:13:01
only send power to the rear when needed
00:13:04
in almost all scenarios and certainly
00:13:06
any normal scenario this is sending
00:13:08
power to both the front and the rear
00:13:10
tires and it can vary the torque
00:13:12
distribution between a 60/40 split a
00:13:15
50/50 split and a rear bias 3070 split
00:13:19
all at the control of the driver to
00:13:21
select exactly what they'd like also
00:13:23
worth mentioning there is a Torsen
00:13:25
limited slip differential in both the
00:13:27
front and the rear so if if any tire has
00:13:30
available traction this all-wheel drive
00:13:32
system is going to find a way to get
00:13:34
power to it all right so we've already
00:13:35
covered the all-wheel drive system so
00:13:37
let's move on to the exterior and also
00:13:40
why I chose to go with the circuit
00:13:42
Edition rather than one of the less
00:13:43
expensive trims as far as features
00:13:46
exclusive to the Circuit edition first
00:13:49
off it's the only trim you can get this
00:13:51
exterior color flame blue that alone
00:13:54
makes it worth it to me I absolutely
00:13:56
love this blue color as well as the cont
00:13:59
in black accents the circuit Edition
00:14:01
also gets forged BBS wheels while the
00:14:04
lower trims only get cast Wheels other
00:14:07
exterior changes include a hood bulge
00:14:09
with gloss black air vents a forged
00:14:12
carbon fiber roof paired with a matte
00:14:14
black shark fin antenna and a large
00:14:16
high-mounted rear spoiler on the inside
00:14:19
you get unique blue interior stitching a
00:14:22
unique shift knob and a circuit Edition
00:14:24
badge as the 24 model year is limited to
00:14:27
just 1,600 circuit Edition
00:14:29
now is all of that worth a
00:14:32
$5,000 premium over the gr Corolla um
00:14:37
premium from a performance standpoint
00:14:40
absolutely not but personally I'm a big
00:14:42
fan of the aesthetic changes thanks in
00:14:44
part to the carbon fiber roof it weighs
00:14:47
a whole 8 lbs less than the premium
00:14:52
though the weight isn't too far off from
00:14:54
a Civic Type R now speaking of the
00:14:57
carbon fiber roof there's some pretty
00:14:59
interesting language in the owner's
00:15:00
manual so this carbon has a matte finish
00:15:03
clear coat and the owner's manual has a
00:15:05
diagram with the roof that says if the
00:15:08
painted surfaces of the vehicle are
00:15:09
dirty wash the vehicle immediately It
00:15:13
also says in regards to the mat roof
00:15:15
that rainwater can settle in and should
00:15:18
be cleaned off immediately rainwater
00:15:22
okay probably overblown but regardless
00:15:25
no sweat as the good folks over at expel
00:15:28
as well as Elite window tint in Oregon
00:15:30
have covered my entire vehicle in expel
00:15:33
ultimate 10 plus film and for the roof
00:15:36
it's covered in expel stealth so you can
00:15:38
maintain that matte appearance of course
00:15:41
contaminants could also settle into a
00:15:43
matte film but overall you can worry
00:15:46
about it far less and it's easier to
00:15:48
clean worst case it's also way easier to
00:15:51
just replace a film than it is a damaged
00:15:54
carbon fiber roof so a huge thanks to
00:15:56
the folks at expel and Elite window tint
00:15:59
they're an awesome shop if you're
00:16:00
looking to get your car protected in the
00:16:02
Portland area they also put a 30% tint
00:16:05
on the side windows with expels prime XR
00:16:07
plus film and the whole exterior is
00:16:09
finished with a ceramic coating to keep
00:16:11
things glassy smooth and glossy and just
00:16:14
from a personal taste perspective I'm
00:16:16
not a huge fan of badges or stickers so
00:16:19
Elite took off the black stickers on the
00:16:21
rocker panels as well as the gr and
00:16:23
Corolla badges I'm well aware of what
00:16:26
vehicle I'm driving I'm not too
00:16:28
concerned if those those driving around
00:16:29
me aren't now on the subject of
00:16:32
superficial aesthetic decorations Toyota
00:16:34
doesn't shy away from putting fake
00:16:36
aerodynamic features on their cars
00:16:39
fortunately most of what you see on the
00:16:41
gr corolla's exterior is in fact
00:16:43
functional the hood vents actually help
00:16:45
remove heat from the engine bay as do
00:16:48
the side vents on the front fenders
00:16:50
which are also ported to the engine bay
00:16:52
okay that said the side intakes that are
00:16:54
usually used to create an air curtain
00:16:56
around the front tires are actually
00:16:58
blocked so these are simply a
00:17:00
functionless design choice though that
00:17:02
said there actually is a vent that comes
00:17:05
out right here in front of the front
00:17:06
tires coming from the engine bay but
00:17:09
overall compared to something like say
00:17:11
the car that's name rhymes with Supra
00:17:14
this is a very functional exterior all
00:17:17
right so what's the advantage of the 24
00:17:19
model year versus the 23 there aren't
00:17:22
too many changes there's a few chassis
00:17:24
tweaks but it's generally quite similar
00:17:27
the circuit Edition gets new four fored
00:17:29
BBS wheels and probably the most
00:17:31
meaningful change up front you now have
00:17:34
parking sensors which is a nice addition
00:17:36
but why not wait and get the refreshed
00:17:38
25 model year now to be honest I bought
00:17:41
mine before they'd announced the 25 but
00:17:44
even still personally I'm happy that I
00:17:47
got the 24 for three main reasons first
00:17:50
they dropped this beautiful blue color
00:17:52
for the 25 the only model year it's
00:17:55
currently available on is the 24 that
00:17:58
alone makes makes me happy with my
00:17:59
choice I don't know if I mentioned it
00:18:01
but I love this blue color second they
00:18:04
redesigned the front fascia on the 24
00:18:07
you have a continuous bodyc colored
00:18:09
front lip now on the 25 they extend this
00:18:13
black front grill all the way down so it
00:18:15
eliminates that bodyc colored front lip
00:18:18
personally I prefer this look and
00:18:20
finally the third reason is they change
00:18:23
the all-wheel drive settings on the 25
00:18:26
you can't lock the drivetrain into a 30
00:18:28
70 split that's only possible on the 23
00:18:32
and 24 model years that's pretty wild
00:18:35
because you can't lock it into the
00:18:37
highest rear bias setting on the new
00:18:40
model year instead the new track mode
00:18:43
automatically adjusts depending on what
00:18:45
you're doing between a 60/40 and a 3070
00:18:48
split to me it's a huge bummer they Dro
00:18:51
that setting and it's a huge Plus for
00:18:53
the 24 though it's not to say they did
00:18:55
it without reason on that note there are
00:18:58
very real advantages to the 25 model
00:19:00
year on the subject of torque split the
00:19:03
new track mode can vary the torque
00:19:04
distribution based on conditions Toyota
00:19:07
says that the previous track mode which
00:19:09
was locked at 50/50 could have slight
00:19:11
under steer coming out of corners and
00:19:13
this new track mode can shift to 370 to
00:19:16
support Corner exit so track mode is
00:19:19
supposedly better but I still wish they
00:19:21
offered a 370 lockout another Advantage
00:19:24
with the 25 model year is the redesigned
00:19:26
front fascia which has additional
00:19:28
Cooling support which means managing
00:19:30
temperatures better and it has a small
00:19:32
torque bump up from 273 to 295 lb feet
00:19:37
though Peak power Remains the Same so of
00:19:39
course I'd love the torque bump but I'm
00:19:41
happy with the car that I've got because
00:19:43
of the color because of the front fascia
00:19:45
and because you can lock it into that
00:19:47
3070 rear bias torque split now why did
00:19:50
I pick the gr Corolla over the
00:19:52
competitors well first off there are
00:19:55
very few remaining vehicles in this
00:19:57
category if you want an all-wheel drive
00:19:59
manual transmission hot hatch it's
00:20:02
literally just this and the Volkswagen
00:20:04
Golf R and to be honest the Volkswagen
00:20:06
Golf R was never in the running for me
00:20:08
to explain why I think Volkswagen's
00:20:10
press release summarizes it perfectly
00:20:13
they State the Golf R is quote a top
00:20:15
tier performance car while avoiding
00:20:17
flamboyant styling that does not offer
00:20:20
engineering benefit very simply the Golf
00:20:23
R is a car for adults and the gr Corolla
00:20:26
is a car for children and I am a child
00:20:29
with gray hair but a child on the inside
00:20:31
nonetheless the Golf R is an exceptional
00:20:34
vehicle it does everything in a Buttery
00:20:37
smooth Manner and it's visually
00:20:39
understated I respect that strategy and
00:20:42
it's awesome for a daily it's part of
00:20:44
why I love my model 3 Performance it's
00:20:47
completely understated visually but
00:20:49
performs incredibly but I'm buying a toy
00:20:52
not a daily and I want my toy to look
00:20:55
like a toy and drive like a toy and I
00:20:57
mean that in the most complimentary
00:20:59
manner possible to me this feels more
00:21:02
special to drive than a Golf R even if
00:21:05
the Golf R were to outperform it on a
00:21:07
track the Golf R is super refined again
00:21:10
not a bad thing just different the gr
00:21:12
Corolla just has more drama and more
00:21:15
playfulness in my opinion and I love its
00:21:17
fun-loving and flashy exterior I did
00:21:20
genuinely consider the Honda Civic type
00:21:22
bar which I think matches the ethos of
00:21:24
the gr and has the drama and engine to
00:21:27
go along with it genuinely I have a
00:21:30
difficult time determining which car is
00:21:32
more fun to drive I'd rank the type R
00:21:34
and gr Corolla equal the type R does
00:21:37
seem more practical as it's more
00:21:39
spacious inside with more cargo room
00:21:41
though it does only seat four to the
00:21:43
gr's 5 the typ bar weighs a little less
00:21:46
and because it's sending so much power
00:21:48
to just the front wheels it does have a
00:21:50
bit more drama under acceleration all
00:21:53
good things the gr does have some
00:21:55
winning points however they're running
00:21:57
18-in wheels and tires which are using
00:21:59
beefier sidewalls which I respect Honda
00:22:02
actually downsized their wheels from 20
00:22:05
in to 19 in on the new Type R which is
00:22:08
the right direction I think the gr
00:22:10
strikes the right balance the B
00:22:12
sidewalls will be more comfortable and
00:22:14
less likely to get flats the Corolla
00:22:16
also has a proper handbrake which will
00:22:18
disconnect the rear wheels from the
00:22:20
drivetrain and let you get silly while
00:22:23
the Civic Type R has an electronic
00:22:25
parking brake Boo and finally the GR
00:22:28
Corolla has all-wheel drive that was my
00:22:31
biggest reason for going with it I may
00:22:33
have ended up in an Integra Type S my
00:22:36
first car was an Integra and I love the
00:22:38
new type S but I spend too much time
00:22:41
driving on Snowy Mountain Roads in the
00:22:43
winter so I really wanted all-wheel
00:22:44
drive and it doesn't hurt that this has
00:22:47
such a cool all-wheel drive system oh
00:22:49
and one last thing when I bought my Ford
00:22:52
Maverick recently somehow in the
00:22:54
comments a lot of people were assuming
00:22:56
that Ford just sent me the car for free
00:22:59
that car companies just send me free
00:23:01
cars so let me be perfectly clear I
00:23:04
bought that Ford Maverick with my own
00:23:06
money just like I bought this with my
00:23:08
own money just like I bought every car
00:23:10
I've ever owned well I'd happily accept
00:23:13
a gr Corolla for free I paid MSRP for
00:23:17
this car with the options selected it
00:23:19
turned out to be $
00:23:21
47,1 77 before taxes as for future plans
00:23:25
for it I'm pretty open to anything
00:23:28
though I'm also happy with where it's at
00:23:29
with ppf tint stickers and decals
00:23:32
deleted and some fresh new tires I don't
00:23:35
really have any current plans to track
00:23:37
it and I definitely won't take it above
00:23:39
85 mph definitely not that would be
00:23:43
dangerous if you know you know if you'd
00:23:45
like to get my driving impressions of
00:23:46
the gr Corolla or if you want an even
00:23:49
more detailed explanation of how the
00:23:50
all-wheel drive system works with
00:23:52
diagrams and visuals I'll have links to
00:23:54
those two videos if you have any
00:23:56
questions or comments feel free to leave
00:23:57
them below thanks thanks for watching
