Toyota,
New Car Review,
Toyota GR Corolla
Sure, the Toyota GR Corolla excels on the track, but can it perform equally well as a daily driver?

I like the new "daily driver" aspect for a video series. It'll be interesting to see what other vehicles will show up.
I don't know how he or she did it, but major props to the camera operator. I never once saw the person in frame as they were perched on the dash or effortlessly swiveled to the seat, and back to the dash. Mad skillz, yo!

We're glad you like this style of review so far.
We'll continue to do them if they remain popular.

Something definitely changed between the first wave of GRCs and this 2025 car. Maybe it was simply small adjustments in seat position or cushioning, but I liked this 2025 example more than the earlier cars we tested. Seemed to have better ergonomics and a better clutch relationship with the other two pedals. I've never liked when cars had very long clutch sweeps and relatively close brake and throttle (Mustang I'm looking at you). The GRC does a great job at balancing all three pdals and minimizing the amount of squirming you have to do in the seat.

yes the 2025 car has a lot of improvements
