The new Toyota GR Yaris is a giant slayer of a hot hatchback. We love its rally-inspired four-wheel drive traction and its astonishing grip. But does it have the measure on the road of our favourite hot hatch of the moment - the Honda Civic Type R? The GR Yaris joins us with the optional Circuit Pack, which means it costs -33, 495. It has 257bhp from its 1. 6-litre three-cylinder engine, which makes it good for 0-62mph in 5. 5sec and a limited top speed of 143mph. The 2020 Honda Civic Type R is a Limited Edition. Lighter and leaner than the regular Type R, it costs -39, 995 and has 316bhp from its larger, 2. 0-litre turbo engine. More powerful, then, but being front-wheel drive, it hits 0-62mph in 5. 8sec, though can go on to a 169mph top speed. It's the Toyota that has been making the headlines recently but only a mug would write off the Honda, which is such an enjoyable and engaging hatch. Watch on to see what we think

There exists a scenario wherein a loaded yaris gr can cost the same as a base model civic r and I'm sorry but the civic can double as a 4 seater grand tourer with an interior that borders on exotic. Fascinating as the yaris is-and the track pack version appears to be a potential cross-class pound for pound champion-we can't soon forget that the civic was the fwd Nordschleife record holder and also exists in the nether world of out running more powerful cars with awd, rwd, dct's in summary all comers. p. s. -I would have differentiated the two gr yaris's via a longer final drive I would have attributed to the non track pack yaris similar to how disgruntled mavens of the Cayman gt4 view its gearing as uncomfortably tall. The narrower anti roll bars and propensity to initiate body roll would perfectly accentuate taller gearing.

2 different class, 2 different purpose, 2 different weight, 2 different size, 1 watched what other did and improve on that. almost like everyone tries to find a car or vehicles better or faster than Honda/Acura products to say, - ahhh Honda not so good. because someone did this better. hahahaha-. that isn't healthy. LFA was unique, NSX was and is unique, type R Civic is unique, this new Toyota Yaris is unique, S2000 is unique

The comment at 1: 40 saying the normal civic looks like it was meant to be a Type R. They designed the entire car around the Type R and worked backwards this time around, so that does make sense and I think the normal civic looks a little unusual (not bad, but different)

The Yaris looks like a tarted up Mk 1 Aygo and the Civic. Even with the facelift coming it looks hideous. Whats Japan doing these days? They might drive well but Thank Goodness Theres still a VW Golf GTi.

1)its GR Yaris RZ gr4
2)its not made on the same line, in fact it's made in Japan at the Motomatchi plant where the LFA was made
3)its GR yaris, not Yaris GR ffs

I find car pricing strange in the UK, I feel bad that every car seems to cost 25% more then we pay here in Canada. Is it all taxes?

Gr yaris looks ok but that honda type r looks amazing, would love to see the type r in lime green color that would be amazing --
