Have you ever heard of crossing the Finnish line? No, it’s not a new dance craze or a trendy cocktail. It’s the exhilarating experience of driving the new Toyota GR Yaris on ice in the frozen tundra of Finland. And let me tell you, it’s a whole lot of fun.
I recently had the opportunity to put the GR Yaris through its paces on a frozen lake in Finland, and let me tell you, it was an experience like no other. The GR Yaris is a rally-inspired hot hatch that delivers an impressive 257 horsepower from its turbocharged three-cylinder engine. But it’s not just the power that impresses – it’s the handling, the agility, and the sheer thrill of driving this little beast on ice.
As I took the wheel of the GR Yaris and headed out onto the icy track, I could feel the car come alive beneath me. The all-wheel drive system gave me confidence as I navigated the slippery corners and sharp turns, while the sharp steering and responsive throttle made it easy to push the car to its limits.
But the real magic of the GR Yaris was its ability to drift effortlessly around the icy corners. With the flick of the steering wheel and a dab of the throttle, I could slide the car through the bends with precision and control, feeling like a rally driver in the process.
As I pushed the GR Yaris harder and harder, I couldn’t help but be impressed by the car’s poise and composure on the ice. It felt planted and stable, yet willing to play when I wanted to have some fun. It’s a rare combination of attributes that make the GR Yaris a truly special car to drive, especially in these challenging conditions.
So if you ever get the chance to cross the Finnish line in a Toyota GR Yaris, don’t hesitate. Trust me, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget. Just be prepared to have a big smile on your face the whole time.
