After a few hiccups mine is finally here
I just couldn't stop grinning today and the car attracted quite a few interested looks and compliments.

I also must say that the pearl white is quite an interesting color. Sometimes it looks like a normal white but when I parked the car in the garage I really thought. Wow what a stunning paint job. It really depends a lot on the lighting. I guess in the summer it will really get to shine.

Agreed.

I don’t agree with him on everything, but I always find his commentary enjoyable. It is a tangent from this thread, but this interview of him and some of his cars was insightful and enjoying. The recent Citroen race is worth watching too.

Yaris wins IMO. A hot hatch should be small. Not some huge mid-sized 4 door.

I think it has a leg up due to being developed as a result of WRC. This is a special car no doubt.

One of my favorite YouTube auto vloggers finally got some seat time. He’s not the most technical but I love how he films his drives and stuff. Plus he’s got none of that kiddy YouTube vibe that a lot of them have.
