Toyota GR Sport/GR-S

Manuals used to be quicker than A/Ts a looong time ago. In those days most A/Ts only had 4 forward gears and M/Ts usually had 5. Aside from the additional driveline loss from having a slushbox vs a manual, the A/Ts also shifted slower. But nowadays manuals are actually slower vs CVTs, DCTs and modern 7/8/9/10 speed A/Ts. M/Ts no longer have the advantage they have because they now shift slower in comparison. And whatever power you save in less driveline loss is be negated by the additional ratios that modern automatics have. So from a performance standpoint no sense in getting the M/T.

Yung fact na 4-speed lang karamihan ng A/Ts during 00s was an instant turn-off for me unless wala talagang choice. Like what you said, bukod sa kulang sa gears compared sa manual eh makupad tapos malakas pa sa fuel. As time went on buti nalang naging 5-speed na and above. Plus, karamihan may plus/minus or manual mode na lalo na yung mga new diesels. I think remaining advantages nalang niya ay it's a bit more frugal sa fc tapos pwede itulak at start in case low na level ng battery. Pero imho i think acceptable parin ang manual nowadays as long as malambot ang clutch at maganda ang kambyo.

2022 Toyota Corolla Cross GR Sport Hybrid now in PH | Autoindustriya

Looks good but no thanks pa din sa foot-brake.

We should have gotten yung US version with EPB considering the asking price...

Both my Lexus and CRV have foot brakes. Nakakamiss yung EPB with brake hold ng Civic ko before, but it’s a minor issue compared to the total package of a car.

Not as big a deal-breaker as, say, Carplay or LED headlamps.

Manual mode na may paddle shifters even faster pa hehe. Napag iwanan na talaga M/T. Even some CV's come with A/Ts now. Look at some of the new Isuzus.

Tapos yung same na 1.6L NA engine pa rin. Duhh. The new compact cars are heavier nowadays and it needs a bit more oomph.

The GR S altis should have a hybrid powertrain for more oomph..

This is more like the Vios GR S..

Mas gusto daw ng common Pinoys yung body kits kaysa more power. Hehehe
