I was able to run it around in the snow a few days out of necessity, did OK on summer tires which is really saying something. Cannot wait to get a dedicate winter set for it.
Most days it is just running the kiddos to/from daycare with adequate space back there to do so. No, this is not a sedan masquerading as a hot-hatch (a la FK9 Civic Type R), decent amount of compromise required but a very potent package.

Thanks for sharing. The utility of these hot hatches is so amazing especially given the price point.
I recall seeing a couple YouTube videos in the last few months where a couple GR Corollas experienced overheating on the track. I haven't really followed up since. Were those isolated occurrences or is this an item that owners who track their cars will need to care for? If the latter, what's the solve?
