VERY Surprised it did so well on pretty MEH tires, also it looks like there is a great opp to get significant better times with better suspension + wider better tires.

Stock suspension seems kinda lack luster on twin tubes (eww).

Also I didn't know the rear space was that decent, I was expecting WAYYY worse LOL. I think GRC is moving up in my placement of things.

" Unique to Canada, the GR Corolla Core will come standard with heated front seats and front and rear TorsenĀ® Limited Slip Differentials (LSD)."

LOL, sorry my American friends.
To get a 6'6" guy in the rear, Throttle House must have moved the front seat way up. In the Corolla hatch, when I adjust for my height (6'2"), there's like 3 inches of rear legroom behind the driver's seat. About 5" less than the Corolla sedan or Civic.

Wait who was 6'6 that got in the back in their review? Did I miss it? That doesn't sound right, in terms of them fitting WITH ANY leg room.

Throttle House review showed two people getting in the back seat, one was 6'6". 24:40 min

Ahhh near the end, I didn't see the 6'6 indication at the bottom of the screen, didn't know that guy was that tall. Holy smokes... the seatback is behind the B pillar. So Im not sure if its really moved front that far TBH.

Probably adjusted for the two TH guys who are like 5'10", so that's not bad. I'm just too tall for a lot of cars, my old knees prefer to be more straight.

The New C43 wagon is sexy AF. That was supposed to be what Iā€™m driving now but I bought a Gladiator instead (always wanted a Jeep, needed a truck).

Not in the same price range, but what are thoughts on a ā€˜23 Supra 6spd?

I think its cool. The door jam up top would probably TKO me everytime I got in and out šŸ˜…. If the CTR wasn't around, Id probably get it.

Would rather have that over the GRC.

Yeah, the styling does put me off a little, but I had a dealer offer me a ā€˜23 with a $3k ADMā€¦ so was just curious on others thoughtsā€¦wouldnā€™t an M2 be far more and it isnā€™t even out yet, right?

I have a deposit down for a GR Corolla as well but if I can get an allocation for a CTR at MSRP, I think I'd prefer the FL5. It just feels a little more special to me. BUT, I won't be mad at all if I have to settle for a GRC.

unless you can use a car that has almost no space. the Supra visibility is on par with a Camaro and basically no storage. M2 isn't much better but least it has a rear seats. I don't think either cars work as a daily.

Yeah, this would just be for fun. Donā€™t need any daily amenities, other than 2 seats.
