        Really? I’ve never heard a Corolla be considered a fun car. It’s a point a to b car afaik.

        Not to hate on your experience! They surely are reliable though.

          GR is gazoo racing, the Toyota performance line. From what I know it’s not just a badge.

            Unfortunately, they just started diluting that moniker with the GR Rav4.

              Yea, that is sad, just read up on it. Next thing you know it'll just be badges. If they were going to add electricity they should have gone for a full EV performance car, IMO. A PHEV is worse than either EV or ICE alone.
