Membership in the GR Corolla club starts at $35,900 (plus destination) for the Core trim; a Circuit Edition steps up to $42,990, while the flagship Morizo Edition is $49,900. That’s the theory, anyway. The reality is that dealers, blessed with a limited inventory vs. high-demand model, are doing their darnedest to apply as much in the way of “market adjustment” as possible. The chances of paying the list price for this appealing Toyota are exceedingly rare.
All three trims get the same 1.6-liter inline 3-cylinder gas engine, along with GR-FOUR all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission. It’s a stark lesson in not letting what’s on paper (or, more likely, on the screen) color your opinion before you’ve experienced something yourself. After all, a mere three cylinders might put you in mind of a cheap urban runabout, and yet that’s absolutely not what the GR Corolla delivers.
The turbocharger helps squeeze 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque out of the diminutive engine, while the standard all-wheel drive ensures as much of that power makes it to the asphalt. A dial in the center console allows the power split between the front and rear axles to be adjusted, meanwhile, an attempt to pacify those who like their sports cars to be rear-wheel drive. If you can’t handle three pedals, though, Toyota won’t help: there’s no automatic option, here.
