These two hot hatches are neck and neck on paper and that doesn't change when you put them on the track
As one might expect, the GR Corolla gets off to a great start in race one but the additional power of the Civic actually reels it in before the end of the quarter mile. The Honda takes that lead and never lets up, managing to best the Corolla in the corner and then use its power to reach the start/finish line about a car length ahead.
In race two we see more of the same. The Toyota leverages that AWD system to launch faster but the Honda simply overpowers it in a straight line. Over the quarter-mile, the two cars finish just 0.1 seconds different from one another, 14.3 seconds vs. 14.4 seconds. In the cornering contest, the Type-R takes the win again with a maximum g-force of 1.28 compared to the GR Corolla with 1.22 G. Over the whole course the Civic managed to put a half of a second gap on the Toyota, finishing in 38.5 seconds compared to the Toyota’s time of 39 seconds flat.
As a die-hard believer that AWD is always more fun to drive , I’ll simply add this: had these cars been on a lower-traction surface, I think the results would’ve been dramatically different. Regardless, we all win since pricing on both the Type-R and the GR Corolla seems to be cooling off a bit and both are fun and practical.
