In this week’s car review, John and Richard Rush put the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla to the test. But is this pocket-rocket really worth the hype? How wild does a 1.6L turbo three-cylinder with 300 horsepower actually feel? And does a six-speed manual and all-wheel drive make this one of the last great affordable enthusiast cars?

Is it practical enough to drive daily in Colorado’s unpredictable weather? Or is it purely a weekend toy with a rally attitude? What about that forged carbon fiber roof, triple-tip exhaust, and the surprisingly punchy performance Toyota packed into a car in the $40k range?

If you love hot hatches, performance without breaking the bank, or want to hear John and Richard geek out over a car that surprised them both…

Don’t miss this review. It’s fast, fun, and it might be one of the most exciting cars they’ve driven all year.
