Veloster Turbo
 

So how is everyone feeling about the Veloster Turbo. Its growing on me more and more everytime i visit there website. Of coarse its no 370Z.

I like the Twinscroll setup, 38 mpg.

Personally i think the car has potential for looks and decent speed for a DD.

I def like the interior. sort of imagining it lowered on some CV2's.

How do you guys feel about it?

Wrong section and I believe is a Hyundia.

no

it has turbo in its name. Must be good.

might as well put 365 HP in a Ford Taurus... Oh wait

i believe it says general discussion but okkk.... excuse meeee lol

would be a DD btw

Thread moved to the right section

i've actually already seen some tests on youtube for it and while it does get a decent amount of power (about 202hp i believe) they still mostly kept the same suspension on it with a few minor tweaks. might be a good daily driver, but we'll have to wait and see...oh and also papo is right, this belongs in the "other vehicles" section of the sight as the regular general discussion area is more meant for general discussion just about the 370Z.

I want BRZZZZZZZ

no biggie... didnt see that.

Im just liking the 38mpg vs my z 20mpg

Way better options for a DD,i would probably never be seen in one....would i sell my Z and buy a V Turbo for better fuel economy ...not a chance.

Better cars like the GTI and the MS3. Also possibly a WRX or even BRZ.

20mpg where? real world driving cruise control set at 65 i've been able to get around 32mpg on the Z so it's not bad on gas, but if you're going for something thats easier on gas it wouldnt be a bad choice and they arent that bad looking seen in person. I just hope they do some last minute changes to the suspension before it comes out is all, but then again there's always aftermarket for that.

Hahahhaaaa... and I kno you're driving it like you shouldn't be owning a sports car and should be in a hyundai. 17.1 mpg's in my Z on average. Lol.

Oh yeah... the Veloster makes for a great second car DD or if you're willing to mod a FWD's suspension? Go for it. Turbos make for cheap and fast power mods as well. But I couldn't give up the Z.

/\ exactly how i feel.

If you really enjoy torque steer, buy an MS3 or Veloster turbo. If you want a DD, get something that a. isn't as ugly (holy crap is the veloster ugly as hell, don't even get started on the new genesis coupe), and b. has untested reliability.

If you really want a DD, honda civics are still selling for a reason.

Also Look at the Focus ST coming out in September. Under 25K base, 252 hp, 270 ft/lb torque and reviews are raving about the handling.

are you on cracked or something there is no way a Z can get 32mpg unless your wife is pushing your can on your way to work:driving:

What you missed is that the Veloster can get 38mpg's vs an MS3 that gets 25mpg highway and 17 city or a VW that gets 21/28mpg.
Looks are subjective. I have been in the veloster, it has a high quality interior, high quality paint, tons of standard features. And I find the car to actually be very unique in a sea of dull compact commuters. I think its a more attractive car than a gencoupe. The veloster isn't ready to compete against established names on a performance level, but has surpassed them in a price/quality level instantaneously. 29/38 34combined is great for a 201hp sub 7 second to 60 car that costs less than 24k.

this car is less than the MS3 and GTI. But I would say its greater than a civic and corolla if I'm looking for fun on the cheap. Good job hyundai.

Lol. :icon18:

Don't hate because he bought the Z hybrid.

From what I have heard recently, the Veloster handles like poo.

I'll have to test drive it to know for sure. That would probably break me of wanting one if true.

my z is has 450hp and gets 45mpg....

So what's your secret to such high mpg's"

unicorn blood.

because some guy on the internet said so.....

Gotta have stickers to get god mpg's... tuner 101

If you really want a car like that, I'll agree...wait for the Focus ST. Very few complaints from the reviews I've read so far...and it looks a lot better, IMO.

no way.. Hyundai?

believe it or not thats what im getting on the highway...mind you the highway where i got this number doesnt really have many hills and is mostly straight and i have been able to repeat that type of gas mileage every time in the Z on the same stretch of highway from Fullerton, CA to san diego, CA. and not to be rude to anyone, but when i'm cruising on the highway i'm not trying to be one of those retarded speed racer guys that fly's by you doing 100+, im just enjoying the comfortable ride that the Z can and does offer.

I don't believe you..

I don't believe that you don't believe him.


Sent from my iPizzle using magic and new fangled science stuff

i cant believe it's not butter!

Nobody is talking about doing 100mph fly by's but it is a sports car. you know this... right? No offense but i find it hysterical, guys like you buy Z's and want to drive them like civics. then civic owners want to act like they are driving Z's. you can buy what you want but imho, these cars are made for go and very little show... but to each is own. i think that the reverse car purchasing people do is retarded. if you wanna cruise? buy a car made for cruising. like v6 muscle or an accord. Again, just my opinion. but opinions are like a-holes.

What? The 370z isn't a purpose built race car. You don't have to constantly be driving it like you stole it. There's no reason to be hooning it on a long interstate when you're just trying to get somewhere. When I'm on the highway going to class or work I'm not trying to race people, nor am I trying to wind out every gear. Just driving normally nets me 27mpg as I posted in another thread -- and that's usually doing 70/80. I imagine that if you did 65 on a good road and were gentle on the throttle, you could do even better, especially if you're on a flat road or going downhill.

Unless, of course, you're one of those ******** that weaves in and out of traffic. :p

:iagree:

This is the car you want.

finally, somebody that actually gets what i'm talking about...dont get me wrong i do get on it every now and then, but why bother unless im going to be going all out on a track, just doesnt make sense at all to have the mentality of having to go all out and wind out every gear JUST because it's a sports car, but like a person who shall not be named said, opinions are like a-holes :D
