I mean the FoRS has it's fair share of issues. And compared to the CTR nothing else sub-$80k really comes close to its driving feel.

The GR Yaris has been out for a few years and the drivetrain seems pretty solid. Yes it's more difficult to get the rear to step out in the GRC but I think that can be solved with rear sway bars, and a stiffer rear. But I understand though, Toyota's marketing didn't really do this thing any favors as they made it seem like this thing had a very lively rear end.
