Very glad I didn’t buy one after seeing the savagegeese video
I want to drive this but not own it. I guess I’m old. Give me a Golf R and some geritol.
I’m young. Give me a Mazdaspeed 3 and a vape.
And a good lawyer as I torque steered into a tree fr fr
I like that it’s a hot-hatch, I’ll bet it’s really fun around town. From what I have heard it’s not the best track day car and the diff can overheat if you’re flogging it for more than a 10min. track session. That, to me, seems like this isn’t going to be the most durable car.
There’s no way I’d pay over $50k for something that can handle a full 20min. session on the track.
Yeah these ultra special edition really need to have the additional cooling. For how limited these are its a huge missed opportunity
Uh… holy shit… they got a 4.4 second 0-60 time. This thing hangs with the 500 horsepower Ford Mustang Dark Horse. 😭😭
Although, the 5-60 time is quite poor (6.0 seconds dead), showing that this thing is a peaky engine.

I’m impressed that it essentially keeps pace with the STI S209:

The 13.0 @ 106 1/4 mile time is probably more indicative of how powerful it feels than the 0-60.
Quite good, but not exactly like a Dark Horse.
The dark horse is that slow?
Their 60-100 and top end power is probably worlds apart though. The 5.0 isn’t a torque heavy engine, but it’s like a rocket when it’s higher in the rev range.
Its AWD. Not sure why thats surprising. Go look at APR Stage 1 Golf R times.
Heck, C&D managed 3.9 with a stock Golf R.
VW engineers are all tearing up thinking about the abuse needed to get that number.
lmao the Morizo is limited its entirely worthless talking about
$51,420 before market adjustment. For that money you can get a second hand BMW M340i xDrive, or a Mercedes Benz C 63 AMG, Maserati Ghibli, etc etc.
Its a nice car, but
Can one upgrade a core to get to Morizo level? 🤔
It may be a hell of a lot of money and difficult to purchase, but I’m still glad it exists. Long live the hot hatch!
The seats, window motors, door speakers, and wiper all go
On my car’s home subreddit, r/GolfGTI, there are occasionally people who do rear wiper deletes, to wildly mixed reception. Kind of boggles the mind that Toyota of all companies is this committed to the bit.
In any case, I’m glad that this thing exists. Spoke to some bloke at a car show the other week who just bought a regular GR Corolla, and from what he said, it really seems like a joyous little car. Would love to give it or the Yaris a go one day.
Lots of hype for a mediocre car at the price. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if Toyota didn’t use their muscle to convince Subaru to scrap the latest STI so that it wouldn’t steal thunder from the GR. We were all told it was coming a year after the WRX and then nothing. In theory, it should have outperformed the GR and I can see that embarrassing Toyota who owns a stake in Subaru
It’s too expensive. Assuming you can even find one at 50k there’s just better options in that segment. Especially if you’re paying the 60k that these are going for it’s just not worth it.
Ill take the Honda fit
Given the markup on GR Corollas, it might be more financially reasonable to do a turbocharged K-swap with AWD on a Fit
Toyota needs to give the regular models the same shorter gear ratios as the Morizo. So strange that they developed a whole different set of ratios for a one-year limited run model
Saw one of these pulled over the other day
