    Just curious, how does it ride?

    I owned a 2018 Focus RS and that thing rode like a pogo stick over expansion joints and rough roads. Got rid of it for that reason. Was thinking of looking at the GR Corolla, but with none to be found for a test drive, was hoping you'd be able to provide some feedback.

    That be sweet to bring down to a road course and do a HPDE or Time Trial. I have done it with my Corolla XRS at Summit Point. But this has twice the horsepower and all-wheel drive.

    What is the difference between the Circuit Edition and the MORIZO edition??

    Oh you feel all of the road. Lol
    It’s not a cushy ride by any means, very sporty and firm.

    The cars come with a one year membership to NASA and a free track day!

    morizo has no back seats, comes in an exclusive matte gray color, has special wheels, shift knob, 30 ft lbs more torque, and has more body welds than the other GRCs

    Absolutely!
    I’ve always been curious if I’d enjoy it, so I’m at least going to give it a shot. Did some drifting in my younger days and had a blast with that.

    They did the same to my truck even though I was adamant that they not do so. Then the guys who put my wheels and lift on washed it also. I didn’t know that was part of the service. 3 months of ownership and it’s already swirled like a mfer.

    Dealer by me sold the one they got for $15k over sticker. Sat on the lot for maybe 3 hours.

    I like the car but the exhaust kind of throws me off

    It’s pretty neat to drive. That center exhaust is only open during certain speeds/load so the sound changes depending

    Yes, he said he’d take care of it and ceramic coat everything that doesn’t have PPF on it. i told him for the price, I want a romantic steak dinner too, but he just laughed. :(

    Slightly off topic but I hate the dealers who try to make themselves look good by letting me watch them pour water in my washer fluid reservoir while I'm doing paperwork with the service advisor.

    ETA: in hindsight, that probably makes less sense to folks from Texas than it does to us northerners.

    I had one on order at $5k over sticker and it finally arrived. I passed on it. It was a core model so lowest and OTD with mark up was $48k. This was at denton toyota. If you want one I’d wait cause the way the car market is they’ll be at sticker here soon.

    Oh yeah, some of these cars with crazy ADMs are already sitting. I’m surprised it’s happening already, but I guess the new year isn’t off to a great start for some of these dealers.

    Run it without that plate. We have a mandated front plate too. Don’t think I’ve had one on in 10 years and haven’t been stopped…yet.
