Honda Civic Type R vs. Toyota GR Yaris is a drag race of driven wheels.
Both cars are hot hatchbacks with backseats and manual transmissions. Both are turbocharged, but while the Civic sports a 2.0-liter inline-four, the Yaris has to make do with a smaller 1.6-liter inline-three. Output is far apart, though, with the Honda rated at 315 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque and the Toyota at 257 hp and 265 lb-ft.
So the Type R should walk away from the GR, right? Wrong. The lighter curb weight and all-wheel-drive mean it's the Yaris that's able to win out inquarter-mile showdown, just barely. Despite the Civic's excellent launch and superior power, it can't catch up in time. Things go down differently once Carwow performs a few roll races. With the launch removed from the equation, it's the Civic, with its torquier engine and bigger punch, that gaps the Yaris. In a braking test the cars are dead even, which says a lot about the Civic's Brembos, seeing as how it's heavier.
