The two best hot hatches on sale today battle it out for race track supremacy.
were always going to be compared directly. They are the hot hatches of the moment, the two newest, most fun kids on the block.
My first laps are in the GR Corolla, here in Circuit Edition guise. Unlike the Morizo Edition that we had for our last Performance Car of the Year test, the Circuit has back seats, less torque, and taller gearing. It also has Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires on 18-inch wheels instead of the Morizo’s Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber. It does still have the carbon roof and the limited slip diffs front and rear, though.The GRC shows character from the instant it sets off, the 1.
So what’s wrong with the GRC? The steering could have more feel, though it’s definitely accurate. The shift action leaves a lot to be desired, as does pedal placement. The engine matches revs for you on downshifts, which is fine, but I’d much prefer to do it all myself. You sit too high and the seats aren’t bolstered enough. The interior itself isn’t that great, far more economy car than something that shouts performance.
All of that instills confidence to immediately start pushing. One good thing about that added length over the GRC is that the instability that came under braking is ameliorated. Its wheelbase is four inches longer, which contributes to high-speed and braking stability. In +R mode, it is hugely stiff, so the instability comes more on undulating pavement, where it will buck and move around. For whatever reason, though, it’s not disconcerting.
