2019 Veloster N

Good for her!
Curious if the Civic R is also of interest, or just the Veloster N.

I think that Hyundai did well with this car, and it was a bold move of them to throw the gauntlet down at all.

Shes had a love affair with the Veloster for years, well before we even met and now that the N is out and her car is paid off shes really digging it. I have a typo in my first post it was NOT the performance package one, the one with 25 more ponies and different tires, wheels etc. They get three of those in 3 months, so shell drive it when they come in and probably go home in a 370Z. lol

You can’t out run ugly. Have you done your research on this vehicle before your girlfriend purchases? Having purchased a 2013 Hyundai Azera and 2014 Hyundai Elantra they were two of the most unreliable vehicles I have ever owned. The “America’s best warranty” I found is the worst warranty of any auto maker I have ever seen. As there are parts you will have to replaced from your own dime as they as not covered under Hyundai’s “America’s best warranty” and parts that are well known to fail are not covered after talking to a Hyundai technician. With the 2013 Hyundai Azera we had I experienced transmission failure at only 30K and had to replace a power steering pump at only 20K miles plus other sensors. When I sold the 2013 Hyundai Azera and 2014 Hyundai Elantra we had they were practically worthless. Hyundai vehicles have the worst resale value on the market over the first five years right next to Kia. Not to mention the paint defects that the 2013 Hyundai Azera had. You should look into other vehicles for your girlfriend to purchase.

Other comparable vehicles are the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro and the 2019 Ford Mustang.

Of course these are in the mix. We like them, I lean toward the Stang, she liked the Chevy better but she likes the Veloster N more. Theres always gonna be something faster so we are going for smile per mile.

The Chevrolet Camaro has definitely improved a lot since the 2010 when the 5th gen Camaro was introduced. I could not say the same for the Ford Mustang but the Chevrolet Camaro is quite reliable for an American vehicle that is and are enjoying to drive like the Ford Mustang. The body style of the Chevrolet Camaro looks very nice. I would purchase an American made vehicle before I ever purchased a Korean made vehicle though. Like one of the members on this wonderful forum said before Korean vehicles are like Korean women they don’t last long. Why support the Korean automakers??

If you want a four banger turbo.

I guess I must have lucked out - we have a 2011 Accent in our fleet at work - almost 250,000 trouble-free km's on it, and it gets the crap beaten out of it (construction). People forget it is not a pickup truck. They also forget to change the oil until the low oil light comes on!!!

As far as support, I guess it goes both ways. Why support American made cars if you live anywhere else on the globe? I guess we should rule the Camaro out up here since they moved production from Oshawa (and previously Quebec) to the states. And if you're looking at a crew cab pickup you need to choose a Titan over anything with a bowtie on it ('cuz all GM's come from Mexico). It's a funny world anymore, and I respectfully suggest that the time for that kind of thinking has passed.

Am I the only one that finds the humor in this question given we've all purchased a Japanese (foreign) car?
