Can't say I have any regrets about driving an FK8 vs. a GRC, or versus anything else for that matter, so with you on that one.Finally saw a Core in person and was left as underwhelmed as I thought I would be. No regrets here. The GRC is disappointing to me with a terrible interior and FWD bias. The car I saw was red and the color did nothing for me, the car was in shade so maybe in sunlight it would pop a bit but I doubt it.
I saw a GRC on the street a few weeks back and was also underwhelmed. I feel like it has been built up to be this larger than life object that when I saw it, I thought: "That's it?!". I expected the haunches to be far more pronounced and for it to be a little larger. The recent cooling challenges also dealt a blow with respect to how I view the car. Anyhow, not GRC bashing as I think it's great to have another hot hatch in the segment with CTR, Golf R, and Audi RS3 but I walked away wanting and expecting more.Finally saw a Core in person and was left as underwhelmed as I thought I would be.

Totally agree, that interior is horrible and was an automatic dealbreaker for me too.I can't get over the Corolla's interior. It's so cheap it makes me physically ill just looking at it.
Just curious as I know you've had your FK8 for a while now.. I remember you from back in the 10th gen forums when you traded up from your 10th gen Si... How many miles do you have on your FK8 and have they been trouble free miles?Can't say I have any regrets about driving an FK8 vs. a GRC, or versus anything else for that matter, so with you on that one.
I have over 42,000 miles - so I have put on about 30,000 on the car.Just curious as I know you've had your FK8 for a while now.. I remember you from back in the 10th gen forums when you traded up from your 10th gen Si... How many miles do you have on your FK8 and have they been trouble free miles?
Ps. Forgive me for being totally off topic.
I completely agree. It's too bad Mitsubishi didn't keep the Evo alive. I had an Evo X and the 4B11T was a fantastic motor in its own right. I also had a considerable amount of seat time in an Evo IX that a friend owned.I wish Mitsubishi kept up with the Lancer Evolution. I owned an Evo 8 and what a great car! I haven't driven a GR Corolla but it seems somewhat like a spiritual successor.
