Don’t let the fact that it shares a name with Toyota’s regular five-door Yaris hatchback fool you – the GR is a truly special machine. Not only does it pack the firepower to embarrass far more expensive performance cars, but it’s also perfectly suited to UK roads.

The GR's 1.6-litre three-cylinder petrol engine is turbocharged to produce 276bhp. That’s quick enough for a 0-62mph time of 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 143mph.
