I had a go in the GR Yaris last year, a very performant car but maybe it lacked some character due to the 3 cilinder sound. I guess I could get used to it as the level of performance is astonishing. The Corolla does for sure looks better than the Yaris I ...

Where I live, the car remains in high demand and they are all presold. Testing a new one is out of the question. The buyer on this car bought it out of state and shipped it in having not driven it. I did the exact same thing with the Blackwings, as testin...

Sadly not for the European shores (has more space for those with kids than the Yaris) πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
