TESTED 24.2.22, BARCELONA, SPAIN ON SALE NOW
This is, perhaps, the Toyota GR Yaris of your dreams: a stripped-out competition version of the hot hatch of the moment, with rally-spec suspension and gravel or dirt tyres, plus some driveline tweaks but no uplift in power or complexity, so it's still very approachable.
