In this episode of Engineering Explained, the team delves into the prowess of the GR Corolla in snowy conditions, dissecting the differences between the 24 and 25 model years. They emphasize the critical role of winter tires, all-wheel drive systems, and ground clearance for navigating the white stuff. The GR Corolla's torque split mechanics are scrutinized for their impact on both acceleration and handling, with a preference for oversteer in slippery scenarios.
The comparison between the 24 and 25 model years reveals changes in torque split control and an increase in torque for the 25 model, enhancing its performance capabilities. The introduction of an automatic transmission in the 25 model is met with both praise and criticism - lauded for its aggressive gearing and minimal weight penalty, yet faulted for inferior fuel economy and higher cost compared to the manual option. The owner's personal experiences with the 24 model highlight exceptional throttle control but also minor grievances like inaccurate cruise control and incomplete heated steering wheel coverage.
