Anyone got one, experience of one, etc??

I'm tempted. Been running a cheap and cheerful 1.3 Yaris for a couple of years now as my daily. It's a 2013 car and I absolutely love it!! I know, I know, must be mad.

Only got a short (10 mile) commute and it's all A and B roads around where we live. Rarely see a dual carriageway, let alone a motorway.

Anyway, a few coming up recently, perhaps owners moving on to the newer more snazzy GR4, and prices seem to have cooled a little so seems like a good time for an upgrade.

Any advice?? Seem to remember a few people tracking them (I wont) and saying the discs didnt stand up to it but other than that not sure what to look out for.

Many thanks.

I owned one from new and loved it.

The suspension was rather firm over traffic calming, it was reasonably economical and totally reliable in a very Toyota way ... but it is not a track car (mine did one morning).

The front seats are fantastic ... I found mine much more comfortable than the seating position of my GR Yaris ... which left me struggling to unfold myself after a five hour journey ... but that could have been just me !

There may be 80 or so in the UK, they were the start ion the Toyota GRMN / GR Gazoo Racing thing, and I think a real benchmark in the Toyota story.

Of course in true BMW M3 CSL style, they struggled to sell them when new smile
