🔥After 24 months and 17,000 miles, I'm sharing my completely HONEST long-term ownership review of the Toyota GR Corolla. This is everything you need to know before buying one in 2025 - the good, the bad, and the expensive surprises.
In this video, I cover:
✅ Real-world performance after 2 years
✅ Every reliability issue I've experienced
✅ Actual ownership costs (fuel, insurance, maintenance, depreciation)
✅ Daily driving practicality and comfort
✅ How it compares to Golf R, Civic Type R, WRX
✅ Who should (and shouldn't) buy this car
✅ Is it still worth it in 2026?
