Sounds like a Haldex unit for the rear wheels to me. They’re cheaper and need less maintenance than electronic diffs. They work well to put power to the rears when you need it. Audi, VW, Saab, and Volvo have been using them for decades.

I like small cars, particularly fast ones, but this just doesn't do it for me.

Yeah, I think know what you mean. I have owned Renaults, Peugeots, VWs and fast Fiats.. but I can't bring myself to committing to this one....

I actually really like it. It actually has some personality to it unlike Golfs, and WRX here in the US.

I'm not fan of the shape of compact hatches. My eye sees a shorter wheelbase wagon, which brings up traumatic memories of being a kid in my mother's Mercury Sable station wagon.

The only one I ever looked at and seriously saw myself considering was the VW Scirocco R.

I think if I was going to pick an AWD hot hatch for a daily then I could see myself picking the GR Yaris over the competition because it seems the most hard core.

I owned a 3 door Yaris, and If they bring something over I'd probably buy it now. A CH-R, especially if it looks as good as the current one, would be better than a Corolla to me. Unless they totally screw it up by making it a poseur mobile.

Why, oh why, oh fucking why has Toyota decided to build a 118bhp Toyota GR Yaris RS using the GR body, fwd and only AT.. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water!!

Would you want to buy the real thing and then have a "lookalike" show up half the price.. why??? Toyota, why???
