WRX vs GR Corolla - Role Reversal | Everyday Driver

The Subaru WRX has been a go-to enthusiast do-it-all for its entire history, but the loss of the hatchback version gives the Toyota GR Corolla an advantage.

Winter Driving the GR Corolla - The Magic of Winter Tires | Everyday Driver
Переглядів 27 тис.2 місяці тому
We're fans of the Toyota GR Corolla, but the one thing we hadn't done was drive it in the snow. Thanks to Toyota and the winter driving school in Steamboats Springs, Colorado, we had the chance to slide the GR Corolla around a winter race track, talk about winter driving techniques and marvel at what winter tires and performance AWD can do.

Maserati MC20 Cielo & Fiat 124 Abarth - Italian on any budget | Everyday Driver
Переглядів 31 тис.2 місяці тому
Maserati released their MC20 supercar a few years ago, but now offers the Cielo, hard top convertible. We were given the car with strict instructions to not compare it to any of its obvious competitors. But that got us thinking about other far cheaper ways to feel Italian and drive a convertible. Join us for a non-comparison of two very different "Italian" cars. Be sure you’re subscribed! Thank...

    I dislike red so much that in 1989 I waited several months longer to get a not red Miata, but man that red, it looks better than Mazda's soul red and that is saying something. Congrats.

    congratulations, todd! I’ve been a longtime follower of the show, and I know how much this means to you. I’ve always appreciated how you guys understand that cost matters to people, and that you’ve spent a lot more time slicing and dicing the low end than casually driving supercars for clout.

    in my humble opinion any lotus needs to be either yellow or green. I love the dark green outer colour with everything else yellow (callipers and the interior stitching and the yellow stitched steering wheel) and it looks absolutely beautiful

    Congrats Todd! I love when a fellow car enthusiasts gets a perfect car for them. I just upgraded from a Mustang GT to a Mach 1, which is the ultimate na Mustang for my use case and what I want. I am a muscle car guy and the S550 is my favorite modern muscle car. The only Mustang I’d ever want over this is an S550 GT500. Because I got it used I had a few minor compromises on spec I had to make as well but much like you those compromise areas are growing on me. It feels weirdly like a sense of completeness to have the perfect car for yourself and I am glad you’re experiencing it too! :)

  • @davidbee9563
    @davidbee9563 День тому

    Looking at the success the Emira has been where Alpha Romeo and Alpine fell short is curious. The Alpine was a text case of minimalism. But not selling it with a manual at all seems to be a problem. The market of buyers for that type of car want the engagement of a manual. But Lotus would likely not have succeed in selling an updated Elise. A bit too raw. Now if they can get the dealer network service and support right...the future is looking good. Perhaps a partnership with select Toyota/Lexus dealers?

    Today must be my Everyday Driver day. First, my Powerstop carbon ceramic brake kit order is finally completed after waiting over a month (for the fronts). And then as I was heard on the podcast that Todd picked up an Emira. So I turn on UA-cam, and say to myself "Hey that looks familiar". And then I see that Todd bought his car from Gator Motorsports which I drive by almost every day.

    When I can get 800K miles on a Genesis (I'm being hyperbolic), then I'll pick a Genesis over a Lexus. Until then, I'll continue to push my 1972 Plymouth Gold Duster (the Al Bundy version).
