In an era of bloated crossovers, Toyota built a three-door hatch with a manual gearbox and rally DNA.
The 1.6-litre turbo triple pushes 300 horsepower through all four wheels via a six-speed manual. The GR-Four system lets you dial the torque split: 60-40, 50-50, or 30-70 for the brave.
It is loud, it is rowdy, and it makes every back road feel like a stage. Imperfections and all, it is one of the most honest cars on sale today.
