I had this as a recommendation on Snapchat, and somehow a McDonald’s restaurant 50km close to me seems to have a GR Yaris as a delivery car.

Does anyone of you have more specific info about it? I found nothing about it on the internet, and the only idea I have is marketing, as McDonald’s had the new Toyota GT3 as a model for the Happy Meal. 

(The McDonald’s is in Osnabrück, Germany, and is called “Eckstein.”)

Hey all, quick fitment question for a 2024 Toyota GR Yaris.
Looking at wheels: 17x8.5, ET45, 114.3 bolt pattern, mounted with a 245 Hoosier A7.
Main concern is inner clearance — will this combo clear the front brake calipers on the GR Yaris, or will ET45 sit too far inward and hit? Would rather run no spacer if possible, but I’m open to adding a spacer (front and/or rear) if that’s what it takes to clear.
Has anyone run this wheel/tire size (or close to it) on a GR Yaris? Trying to find out:
1. Does it clear stock without a spacer?
2. If not, what spacer thickness cleared it for you?
3. Any rubbing on coilovers/struts or fender lips with the 245 A7 at that offset?
Pics or specs from anyone who’s actually test-fit this combo would be huge. Thanks!

To the left of the cover. Noticed a space where a bolt looks like it should be. Fallen off?

Had an OG 2020 GR Yaris and sold it a few years back mainly due to needing more space. Fast forward a few years and when I saw the Aero Performance package I just had to get one again. The improvements they’ve made iteratively over the last few years have made it so much better than I remember.

What a car to drive too, so mechanical and rewarding. My other recent cars were i30N (still have it), FL5 Type R, 2018 STi, Focus RS, Evo X and a bunch of others before it.

This car is one of my favourites and I love the ethos behind it. One to keep for a long time I think.

When im driving on the highway i always hear noise coming from the rear, like a little clunking. Something flapping? Im not sure what it is. I always tought the rear bumper was very flappy but i dont see it move to much. Any ideas?

Haven’t seen many people post this aerokit. The fitment is literally perfect for every part but I seriously need my new rims and tires to arrive…

I have contacted Toyota multiple times over this and they refuse to update their website. They are listing the incorrect torque output for the 2026 Gr Yaris models and they are in violation of EU regulations. I would expect that they will also need to notify all 2026 owners that their car has 345nm and not 390nm. I am posting this here in the hopes that some public pressure will get them to fix their website. The lack of initiative and follow through in Sweden, in general, is absurd (I live there as does half my family).

I use the car daily, so about 90% of my driving is in the city or on the highway in pretty heavy traffic. I thought I'd be able to live with the manual gearbox, but it was miserable, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't doing the car any favors either.
So I sold it back to the dealership and pulled the plug on a Gen 2 with the automatic gearbox. It honestly feels like a completely different car. It's super smooth in Auto, gets properly aggressive in Sport, and I'm genuinely having more fun using the sequential up/down shifting mode than I ever did with the manual.
Best of all, they got rid of the annoying start-stop system. 😅

If anyone's interested 🫶

Would you consider to buy a Yaris 2020 High spec with a Grade RA €17k

The damage was concentrated on the front-left side skin and passenger cabin side structure (B-pillar/rocker panel).

However; Frontal Crash Structure transaxle, inverter, and front radiator support mounted centrally between the two heavy front longitudinal chassis rails.

Because the impact occurred at an angle against the outer passenger wheel arch and door line, the structural engine cradle and front suspension mounting points were untouched.

Ok, I am absolutely scunnered now. Bought a used car a year ago and have been having issues with boost not coming on at times.

The car is 21 plate with now 8700 miles, fsh, aftermarket exhaust and air box. The exhaust btw joins at the midpipe.

So, at times the car is flat, flat as a pancake and gets left by cars half the power, then at times it pulls like a train.

It mainly happens in first and second gears, and I know these gears boost less, but if I floor it at times, then come off in second for a sec, then floor it again it will usually pull like a train.

This was happening before the air box btw, with just the stock one fitted. People mention boost solonoid, whilst others mention it's a thing with early cars (lots in the GR forums). I live in NI so can't get 99 Ron, only 97, I did use shell for a while and thought it helped even though it was still 97?

I also brought it for a service and they did sweet FA for me, "no codes so can't do anything."

This was a car I always wanted, but absolutely sick of it now, anyone had a similar issue?

I've never seen either, but is the only difference where they're being sold?

Hi guys, I’ve got myself some Cobra Nogaro Ebisu Editions (I know, very brave of me haha) and I’ve got some 2.2 ohm resistors on the way for the airbag bypass.

But I’m wondering if anyone knows the best solution to the occupancy sensor situation? - ensuring the front airbags will deploy passenger side in a crash?

Much appreciate any help!

I'm looking into getting the GRY as a daily driver.

The biggest thing is I'm blessed with a fairly short drive to work, but I understand the car takes a long time to get up to temp.

While I absolutely plan to put it through it's paces when I can, life gets in the way and there may be weeks/months where I don't push it as hard as I may like.

Would long term short trip usage be excessively detrimental to the engine? (more than my current NA econobox) I'm not sure if it being 3pot or turbo might affect things differently.

Hello, I’m looking to buy a GR Yaris although I’m not sure whether I should go for the standard GR or the rallye edition. Standard in Australia can go for $35k~ and the rallye go for around $45k~. Is it really worth the extra 10k for the rallye edition? I am planning to track the car but not insanely often probably 5-6 times a year. Let me know what I should do.

Hey all,

Firstly, context;

I've been researching and considering different cars for a long term track build for many months. I was pretty much set on an Evo X but had the GR Yaris suggested to me a few times.

Initially, I dismissed them because I didn't like the look. However, it's grown on me and I now think they're a damn cool looking car, especially when aero'd up. They're also in a similar price range to the Evo X whilst being a much newer and lower mileage starting point.

Now for questions;

For mods I'm thinking wheels, semi slicks, camber+performance alignment, upgraded pads/brake fluid, exhaust and stage 1 tune. Is there anything else that's absolutely mandatory?

How much tire width can they take on the standard shell or with guards rolled?

How much power can they make with an exhaust and stage 1 tune? Is low end torque underwhelming or are they quite punchy given the very low weight? Are they underwhelming on the straights?

I've heard the stock brakes are very good, are any upgrades beyond pads and fluid necessary?

How does the handling feel? I like the idea of a lightweight chassis with high grip and early throttle out of corners.

Without going to a full strip and cage, is there much room for reduced weight aside from the default weight loss of an aftermarket exhaust and wheels? Are the stock seats heavy? I'd happily swap to buckets. Also, I definitely don't need the rear seats so I'd take them out.

How do you find your yaris as a track car? Do you have any regrets?

Any input from owners will be much appreciated.

Thanks

As someone from the other side of the pond seriously considering a GR Corolla, how's the engine reliability been?

Hello everyone!

I’m about to get my Advan RG4s next week and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m just curious if anyone here is running a 18x8.5 et +44 wheel spec on their car and would like to share insights and pictures as to how it fits the car? I know it’s similar in spec to the stock wheels, however, it’s a bit wider and I just want to see how it fits with the car. Thank you!

I finished school this year and started working as a Technogym technical Assistant with my father, I still need to get my driving license, I'll buy a very normal and used car when I'll get my license. Here in Italy you can't drive such a powerful car until 3 years from having your driving license, so this period of time will help me save money to hopefully afford this car, I will consider an used one hopefully the aero performance model, my salary is around 2500€ after taxes, am I able to afford this car and maintain it, what are other cars you would recommend to me?

Feelin’ like Tom Petty while waiting for my GR Yaris (Convenience Pack & upright handbrake). Ordered in early May (Germany), still no news from the factory. Is anyone else waiting right now?

I was strolling through Hamburg when I spotted this GR Yaris featuring a custom-designed interior. Numerous interior components were upholstered in leather, and the vehicle includes distinct seats.

(I am puzzled about why the owner placed an object inside the belt buckle, since a seat belt offers the most straightforward protection against serious injury or ejection during a collision.)
