2019 Veloster N

Firebase99

Drove an N yesterday. My GF is seriously considering one. They only had one on the showroom floor and had to drop the glass doors to pull it out. LOL. It was NOT the one with the performance package (didnt have any yet) but this car is AMAZING for the price point.

I really wish the automakers would go back to making hot hatches for people who have eyes.

*J*ap***V*et*

I just watched a review on that vehicle. I actually almost got a Veloster Turbo lol. I personally like them. That new iteration is a pretty solid contender. Sure looks better than that new Civic type R...imho

ZCanadian

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.

Its EASILY the best handling, quickest FRD car Ive ever driven. I ragged on it a bit, of course some push in the turns but it corners like an ape. And QUICK!!! Barely any wheel hop at all on WOT from stop. Really responsive, you know exactly what the tires are doing and the seats...WOW!!

That's really Kool. I think it's a nice car. Beautiful steering wheel and seats. Hyundai is showing some balls. The coupe is next from Hyundai... Hoping so. I can't wait... Even if I don't buy a Hyundai in my future? I'm just happy they're trying to show love to the enthusiast market. Their rate of evolution is legendary. Go Hyundai!!
