TBH that's one of the most common circuits used here for journos no matter what due to, I'm guessing, cost, noise (many of our circuits are noise limited) and availability. Weather here at the moment is generally pretty poor, especially near the Welsh coast. He does make a point that one a better day or longer circuit that it would be different, but I think that Llandow Circuit is pretty suited to check how well a car handles.

How would you feel if all BRZs were equipped with open differentials, in case you wanted to fix this you would have to change two of them and only BRZ tS (track package) was the model equipped with Torsen? This is the real situation with GR Yaris.

Not everyone needs a "racecar" and not everyone will go into that detail of modification. Thing is that they are using GR Yaris to sell homologation marketing bs, when at the same time the majority of these cars will stay with open diffs.

Remember when people used to complain about the 2ZZ in the Celica GTS being fragile, bending valves and exploding oil pumps? Well, I guess things have not changed a lot. Toyota still has not figured out how to eliminate malfunctioning operators and the dreaded "money shift".
