Honda Civic Type R v Toyota GR Yaris: DRAG RACE

It's time for a showdown!

We have actually got Yianni in the brand-new Civic , and he's taking on versus Mat in the !

So let's see how these two compare. Beginning with the , it's powered by a 2-litre turbo gas that can deliver 329hp and 420Nm of torque. It drives the front wheels through a manual transmission, and it suggestions the scales at 1,429 kg.

Then we have the . It's equipped with a 1.6-litre 3-cylinder turbo that can put down 261hp and 360Nm. Much like the Type R, it's a manual, and it suggestions the scales at 1,280 kg. Nevertheless, it has one essential advantage over the Type R – it's four-wheel drive!

Does this indicate it'll be a clean sweep for the GR Yaris? Or will the additional power of the Type R push it to triumph? There's just one method to find out … LET'S RACE!

      Don’t care about stretch. The GR, despite the fact that is a wondefull machine, can’t do what the FL5 can accomplish on a close circuit. The suspension, weight distributio & chasis of the FL5 is something special.

      Yaris definitely. Lighter, cheaper, more fun and looks much better.

      @Aquaboy You are an absolute LIAR. GR Yaris in Thailand is $879,000 Baht, which is $113,545 Malaysian Ringgits. GR Yaris in Malaysia is $299,000 Malaysian Ringgits, which is more than 2 Times the Price of one in Thailand. 🤡🤡🤡

    Mat, try revving the Yaris with the traction control off (not expert mode) and you’ll see there’s not soft limiter anymore 😁😁

    Hey Matt. I’ve got a GR Yaris too. Are you aware that if you switch the safety aids off and stick it in sport mode, you kill the soft limiter? Just thought I’d chuck it in there mate. Cheers

    The type-R hasn’t necessarily gone up in value, it’s gone up in price, which is NOT the same thing.

      @Angel 🇺🇦 But why in Gods name would anyone want one of those pieces of junk? Plus don’t know if you noticed but the steering wheel on these two cars is on the other side, so factor in a RHD conversion to be similar 😂
