Jeremy Clarkson is currently working on his own farm and shooting the popular show The Grand Tour in a limited format, but he’s definitely not betraying the car. However, the longtime Top Gear star loves to indulge in ultra-fast supersports or ultra-luxurious cars, so it’s surprising that he chose a fairly mundane act of the automaker as the best car of the year.
“It’s one of the funniest and most interesting cars I’ve ever driven. It’s a car that makes me very noisy. One morning I took it to my farm and made a terrible mess but I don’t care because I rebelled against myself,” Clarkson explains why he chose the GR Yaris as his car this year.
Jeremy Clarkson is just confirming the fact that journalists and motorsport enthusiasts from all over the world agree – the tiny Toyota GR Yaris is one of the best modern sports cars, even with three cylinders under the hood. However, the 16-horsepower with 261 hp (192 kW) with a six-speed manual and all-wheel drive makes the Yaris sports a car you should know about and then you’ll really enjoy.
