It's what I mentioned about this GR, in the wrong hands 4wd short wheelbase can be tricky due to its pace.
On the wrong surface this happens in the video...
Hope the spectators are OK

To be fair, it's not seriously quick but adequately able in the right hands. I think the 4wd trickery it has works obviously better on the deserted airfield.
I can't help but think FWD with a slippy diff would have been perfectly adequate for today's roads in a car that size and weight - but as Toyota insisted - it was to make a Homol car to break the norm. I think they're daft twats and priced it out the market. Expect a softer version next year then...
Snap oversteer on a short wheelbase 4wd is not something they'd expect to see from their creation, but alas, we are seeing evidence of it on a handful of videos online.
Scooby man from the 90's may well be drooling over the little 3 pot terrier... Good luck, enjoy it.
Still think an S2000 is leagues better :-)

Oh there are days when I wish that Bell **d was still on here, just so I could share this with the little elitist..

One man's opinion, but seems about right. I've heard much agreement about the lil terrier being not as great as one would think. As I predicted.. It came , went and nobody cares....
Probably a stronger buy in 15 years
