There’s a good chance that may not be your only track day going forward. 😉
Seeing you’re in CA, I’m assuming you will do thunderhill or chuckwalla. Not sure if NASA runs at Laguna!!

Let me provide some more information on my daily driver preferences.
- 99% of time I drive alone or with one passenger.
- Virginia urban location with no winding roads or mountains
- No need for AWD or snow driving
- Average reliability and above
- Popular model with lots of repair and mod videos and online info as I DIY my cars
- Budget $35k to 50k
- Prefer a desirable car with character.
- Slow depreciation

The GR Corolla Morizo Edition called out in the OP was launched less than 2 years ago (early 2023), and the GRC in general has been available for exactly 2 years. I'd challenge you to find ONE example with over 150k miles and no issues, let alone the dozens/hundreds that would be required to support the position that it's "proven" to last that long.
On the flipside, it's quite easy to find examples that have burned to the ground before the 30k mile mark, due to an engine defect that Toyota refused to honor the warranty on.

or a sweet sounding V8.
I’m currently swapping the turbo on my Type R.

Not that fast, but for a fun daily I'd honestly go with a BRZ/GR-86 with a manual transmission. Well under budget, light weight, RWD, manual transmission, aftermarket support. I fight the urge to pick one of these up myself almost daily...
