"You could fit a whole quart of milk in there!"
WHO SAYS THAT??!?!?!?!?
And that's why I keep coming back every week.
Hahaha wasn't sure if anyone else noticed
I've always thought the veloster looked good.
Every goddamn vid
Tj you are everywhere. Lol. Loving the live streams!!
Tj Hunt agreed
+Tj Hunt Honda should take a lesson from Hyundai on the dash board. The Civic dash is hideous.
The VT dash is disgusting... I'd hope they don't take a lesson from them. VT's look girly. Get a real hatch.
People hate on this car because it a Hyundai. If it was built by Honda then it would be praised.
+AngryRussianHD I completely agree, I have this exact car and what you get for your money is great. if it was made by Honda or Toyota it would easily be $35k
AngryRussianHD It's because it's not refined like the other hot hatches the have been in the game way longer
Hyundai now is just as good as Honda because of the warranty and quality built in Korean
Not true at all. People shit on Honda all the time when it comes to "sport cars". They get called fart cans and ricers etc.. But it's like that with almost every manufacturer, they all have something you can make jokes about. Like Dodge Challenger are beast but the reliability is dog shit. I could go on
@@mrhawk1924 Korea makes exploding phones and suck so bad at vehicles they hired GERMANS to help them!
My son is about to turn 16 and I was shopping around for his first car. I asked him what is favorite car is and he immediately told me his top five cars. Mustang GT, Genesis coupe, BRZ, FRS, and Veloster Turbo. Thing that surprised me was two of top five is from Hyundai. I'm Korean American from LA and car enthusiast. My son does not understand what Hyundai have endure to transform their image from their 1986 pitiful Excel launch which my dad bought for me to be patriotic. I'm so proud for Hyundai for their hard work. After 30 years I have purchased another Hyundai but I bought it not to be patriotic like my dad but because my son thinks its a cool car period. The brand new silver fully loaded Hyundai Veloster turbo parked next to my Audi A7 waiting for my son to comeback from his camping trip. How about that? I can't wait to see his reaction. Love your reviews and enthusiasm. Keep up the good work.
good dad for going with the turbo model
Pete From OC spoiled kid
Brett Ortiz why would I be jealous of a velostwr lnfao I have a way better car and I didn't have to get my daddy to buy it
Pete From OC Hyundai has come a long way. I never even noticed them until about 2010. Being from the Motor City a asian car has to be “good” to gain attention over American muscle. Although interesting you say Audi. I am on my third vw/audi myself. Currently a b7 a4 tuned by APR. I’ve owned a lot of cars, and you just can’t beat the muscle and build quality of a audi/vw.
Is the car holding up well? Thinking about buying
Always liked the Veloster, not exactly great looking but interesting like the soul, juke, etc...which is more than can be said for most of the boring appliances driving around these days. Great job Matt!
Street Speed 717 Thank you!
To the people watching these reviews: If you are thinking about buying this car please do not let OTHER people`s comments stop you. I own this car and I can say the suspension is not the best over bumps. The steering can feel lose at sometimes.. But understand this car makes you feel something others cars cant... It may be the looks alone, but this car is one of a kind. For a FWD cornering is very fun... especially taking on a hard corner the back end loves to be thrown around, reason why people say its loose. I see people downing so much, and I can feel the hate through the comments. Just because the car looks a certain way people want to bring up the negatives...
Every car has positives and negatives
Do you still like the car? thinking about buying
I have a 2013. The 'wobbly' back end is the primary thing that terrifies me. In a straight line, on super smooth roads it's amazing. Feels planted in the corners, but heaven forbid it hits a bump in said corner doing above 50mph, you will be scared. I ordered rear sway bar hoping it may help. Otherwise, I enjoy driving it on long trips.
No car is perfect or flawless. That's why I drive that car for a while and think carefully what and how want to change it
@@tentenmedia did the rear swaybars help ride?
an AWD version would be a boom.
I got my ‘14 Veloster Turbo almost a year ago and there’s nothing bad I can say about this car. Extremely fun to drive, reliable and surprisingly quick. I got performance exhaust with a good intake on 93 and I’m pushing 215whp. There’s so many modification options and overall, this car is so much fun to drive, I’d highly recommend this car to anyone interested in buying.
has the fuel economy been good on yours? I’m having issues where he distance to E goes to rapidly, it goes down pretty fast like 3-5 miles per mile driven.
@@chrisruiz1333 That's pretty normal after filling up on gas. It guesses way too high but after 50 or so miles it's pretty accurate and stable. The important thing is the MPG you're getting
Loved the spilt screen view while you were in the corners. Cool transition back to the one screen too. Great editing throughout the videos lately dude!
Tires and lowering springs wake this car up a lot. I had pilot sports and an eibach kit on mine and it ripped through corners
agreed
Fatal_Inertia i own an r-spec and in desperate need of nice tires, suggestions?
Mike if you can't afford the pilot sports then I'd go with bf Goodrich G force sport comp 2's
@@mike7933 what's the difference between the turbo and the rspec
I love the split-screen shot around the corners. I wonder why more car reviewers don't do it.
I really liked the way you split the screen when you went through the corners from 8:45 with a smooth transition! Definitely a must for upcoming reviews :D great review!
I had my 2016 veloster now for almost a year and im loving it ! Nice video i actually have done a decent amount of mods to mine now
I like the breakaway view to see the road...gives a nice perspective to the roads you are testing the car on. Keep it up!
YES IVE BEEN WAITING SOOOOO LONG FOR THIS REVIEW THANKS SO MUCH MATT!!!!! :)
I'm reeeaally liking the way that you've been doing your reviews more recently, Matt. I like the new Camera set up so that we can see the corners you are taking also. Keep up the great work Matt!
The Tameless Creeper Thank you!
subaruwrxfan yeah man you have come a long way, keep up the great work
Totally agree, great to see both views. Thanks !!
Your videos are always good! I just bought a veloster re:mix edition.
I just got this exact car for my first car today I’m super excited thank you for this
Also, these cars are MASSIVELY popular in Puerto Rico, I swear I saw 20-30 of these a day the 2-3 weeks I've been there the past couple years
Thanks for the overview. Ended up buying a 2014 VT (still sitting on the lot new) in November 15'. Seems like you had a lot of fun driving it. The pickup in this thing is really fantastic. Very easy to end up moving much faster than you intended if you don't watch yourself. I'm in my 50's and my track days are behind me. About the most I do anymore is the occasional TSD rally. Much fun as a daily driver and quite a bit less than a Civic Si, or GTI, not to mention much better looking (IMO).
Again an excellent job on covering the car in all detail that is needed for a potential buyer, Matt ! You keep up the great work and hopefully there's more driverseat time in cars from ***** ***** Jaguar USA and all the other manufactures ! I would be very interested in seeing you spend longer time to built impressions and to get even more driving footage :)
Thank you Guido! Yeah I'm looking forward to getting more press cars soon hopefully!
TheGetawayer i agree, this was a well done video, i like when a review not only covers the cars' strength and weaknesses but also compares it to the direct competition.
Ken34
Yap. Matt does an excellent job and I really want Jaguar USA Jaguar to finally give him the F-Type to test ! He's such a massive fan and great reviewer, they should notice that !
+TheGetawayer I agree, this was a great review.
This car always grabs my attention every time one drives by me.
Too many haters out there!! its a good car from a good country if you dont like Korea that go buy a honda or mazda but if you believe in thier engineering like I do then buy a Hyundai. I got the VT and i leave pretty much everyone in my dust and its pretty good on gas. and its a small light car so it moves quick relative to other cars. I like having it because no one else has them . I dont want to have what everyone else has. All in all its a decent car . Glad i bought it and its not your boring 4 door so i can say I have that going on!
Thats what I was thinking i don't want a car everyone else has
Finally thanks for the review!!!
Matt, the R-Spec comes with brake torque vectoring so it doesn't do the one wheel peel when cornering. Plus it has upgraded suspension and brakes that are not mushy. Come to KC and you can test my wife's R-Spec Veloster. The only thing I really hate about here car is the grand touring Kumho all season tires. They don't allow for much grip when launching it. The tires also give up long before the suspension does. Pretty much it peels through first gear and some times in second. Once we get upgraded tires it will be a real rocket. Also if you wait until the end of the model year like we did you can get an R-Spec for under $20k. You really need to try a R-Spec. I have driven both and we bought the R-Spec because it is so much better. It only has the options we really wanted anyway.
Just bought this car tonight. A used 2014. My first manual car and first turbo car. I’m loving it. I’ll definitely shop Veloster again if I stay in a turbo hatch.
Love your reviews buddy!
I like to guess how many times you're gonna say something is "nice" lmao.
Keep'em comin!
I'm getting a rally edition in 3weeks. I can't wait!
bought my.veloster a few days ago. loving it.
+ertren6 about to buy one I test drove it how is the viisibility from back for you really? cause when I test drove it I freaked out because I couldnt see everything
Blake bradshaw Honestly, after a few minutes I adjusted. I can see everything i need to see from the back. Visibility wise I have no complaints. Handling wise no complaints either honestly lol. Biggest plus for me was gas. I drive 20 miles each to way to work so a total of 40 miles a day. My car gets roughly 380-400 miles before I have to refuel, and it only costs me like 22-25 dollars to fill up. Plus having thee doors is awesome lol.
Love my Veloster! Got it a week ago. Wish the moonroof was on all models.
your car is slow
Stephen Curry Well, if you're talking to me, then yes, a veloster is generally slow. But I did not buy this car to street race or run 10 second quarter miles lol. I bought it for the fuel economy, insurance rates, and sexy look. I easily get 400 miles to the tank before i fill up again, and it'll cost me 25 bucks to fill up. I pay just 114 dollars in insurance for my wife and myself, keep in mind we're below 25. If i wanted a fast car, i would either go with the trubo version of this car or maybe get a sports car o.O?
Your videos are great man! But one suggestion, you should try reviewing a 2004 Mazda RX8. I'm honestly in love with those cars and your reviews are amazing, I think the two would go great in a review.
Veryy nice review. Was waiting for a Veloster video from you. I really dig the design on that car. They sound really nice, you hear that turbo spooling up quick when you have an aftermarket intake on that thing. I would much rather get an Si or GTI, but I could definitely see myself driving this also.
I have this very same car, with the blue inside touches and everything waiting for me to pick up tomorrow. im nervous lol. Love the review.
Good review man!
I have a 2015 Veloster Turbo and I love it. There are much faster and better handling cars out there in the price point +/- $5k *cough* Ford Focus ST *cough*, but in city traffic, I rarely have the chance to push a car to it's limits. It's an awesomely fun but practical daily commuter and the interior features are amazing for the price. The styling is love or hate, but I"m a fan.
If you're a person that likes to drive, this car is totally for you. If you're a driving enthusiast, however, you'll probably want something more aggressive though. For me, personally, it's a great balance,
I looked at veloster before I got my FOST, its a damn good value with an unique look, but its more of a sporty econo car versus a hot hatch performer(ST/GTI). Its a really good value and I would recommend this car just for that reason.
+daphenom45 that's totally valid. It's a zippy car but it's not fast. It's a great fun ride for city driving where you don't have the open road to rock high performance
Hey considerong your driving this car for 3years now, is it reliable and fuel economical for you?
Do you still like it? Thinking about picking one up 🤔
How’s the car holding up? I’m thinking about buying
Finally you reviewed my car! :) (not that actual one just the same kind)
Beautiful car. Great review.
Great reviews, one request for future reviews is that you include the price! You talked about it a lot with the other cars, but you never really said the actual numbers, unless I missed it somewhere
that third door's actually a neat idea =o
Btw l like that split-screen thingy you did
I keep seeing reviews and comments saying the Veloster Turbo and the FiST are similarly priced. But when I actually look up used Veloster Turbos and used Fists the price difference is around 5 grand. Love the Fist, but the extra cost between the two is making me lean toward the veloster
Nice review... Im trying to get this Veloster Rally Edition one this summer tho..
I'm in class and you upload a review, dang! Should have brought headphones
Same lol
great video as my first car I was thinking about getting one
Love the screen split when you were in the curves.
Thinking of getting this car. I'm a college student and the mpg rating is pretty important to me. It's pretty good, while the styling completes the overall appearance. I ultimately want to purchase a luxury vehicle once I'm done school sometime in the future, but for now, this is very user friendly. All the standard options it has even on the base models are very intriguing for the price. Hyundai warranty is very competitive in the business. I plan to have this car for 4-5 years.
I agree with Matt! I'm in love with that f-type coupe too! Use it all the time in forza horizon 2! It's a gorgeous car and sounds incredible!
Hyundai's are one of the most reliable cars you can buy I don't know why people talk so much shit about Hyundai. I would take the Hyundai Genesis coupe 3.8 R-Spec over Honda Civic SI any day!!!!!
RWD4Life
I've driven one of these, suspension, tires and brakes upgrade do WONDERS to these things.
I just bought a 2016 Veloster turbo love it!!!
Alim Felix do you still have it? How is it now??
@@AnthonyNewbill I have a 16 VT turbo with DCT almost 3 years old not, has 53k miles, so far been great zero problems great car.
I have one and I fucking love it. The steering is so precise, it handles amazingly, the interior is unique, it's just perfect.
I have a 2013 RE:MIX and I love it! Tires do go a huge way in this, though with some meatier ones it makes this thing a Go Kart that you can just chuck around.
Closest competition for this is the Fiesta in my opinion. They are between 2700-2800 lbs, both FF hatchbacks, both have a 1.6 liter turbocharged engine, both have torsion beam rear axles, somewhat similar price range. The Fiesta feels smaller and more nimble, but its a better value proposition for performance. This feels like a better value proposition for comfort and features and styling.
maximus9401 And the Fiesta wins every time LOL
MrGovenator1 I want a Fiesta really bad
maximus9401 Pretty awesome little car
My wife has an R-Spec in Marathon Blue. It is an awesome car.
Great review as usual Matt. How do you think the Veloster Turbo stands up to the Fiesta ST?
Just picked up a dream spec 2013 Turbo 2 days ago - matte grey paint, 6MT, Ultimate Package, and only 72,000km! Add in an intake and diverter valve, and I've been having a blast so far. Power, handling, sound, and styling are all fun, without compromising it's practicality too much.
This car is often compared against the GTI, Civic SI, Focus ST, etc. But these days, in my market (ON, Canada,) it's about $2-5k CAD cheaper than those options on the used market. Add the extra cost of premium gas (for the Si/GTI,) and the Veloster just became the obvious smiles/dollar winner for me.
Hoping I'll get many years of fun going forward!
It's true it can run 87 but most people run higher now. Look into the forums for comparisons
Loving the shirt
Add a Pierce Motorsports handling package for $350 and it will easily handle with cars twice the price. Add proper tires and it will really impress you.
Love the review, especially love the road view/racing game first person view part, that was exciting.
The veloster kind of remind me of the Toyota Celica in a way that both car was really weird looking at its time. The Celica's crazing headlight really set it apart from other cars and you either love the design or hate it. For me though, I love the Celica and just not really feeling the looks of the veloster.
I test drove a Veloster Turbo before my latest car purchase. At the time I thought it was pretty good. Then I test drove the Fiesta ST. The Fiesta ST is better in nearly every way. The Veloster Turbo isn't bad, but for similar money buy the ST.
TheBluehornz01 The Fiesta ST is NOT better in everyway..... This is why people dont buy the Veloster. They see comments like this and actually believe it.... Buy what you like, I test drove both and the Fiesta is not better
Truth about cars The fiesta ST kills this in performance capability but is equal on people carrying and storage. Few interior gadgets go to VT for being better than FiST. But the FiST is in another league in performance capability in turns/braking and skid pad.
Actually I have thorough knowledge on the Fiesta and the Veloster. In the categories of torque, performance, steering feel, lower curb weight, transmission, ergonomics, resale value, rear seat headroom, aftermarket availability, utility, and torque vectoring the Fiesta is better. The Veloster clearly wins out in warranty, crash test rating, interior space/volume, fuel tank capacity, and ugliest front fascia. As just a "car", both are comparable and will make fine commuters. For an enthusiast driver, the Ford Fiesta ST is much better. They hype is real. Sorry to pee in your Cheerios, bub.
TheBluehornz01 I changed the suspension and steering on my veloster turbo for less than one thousand... Give it up the the handles like a dream for a fwd
Cool. It's your opinion and you are more than entitled to it.
lol that intro with him flailing his arms around XD
Thank you! subaruwrxfan
Do a review of its older sibling, the Tiburon GT. Have an 04 and the stock exhaust sounds sick.
just got a black v turbo 2015.love it. its not perfect but its really got a lot going for it for the price. go get one
Having owned a Veloster for over 4 years now I can say I agree with this review. Anybody considering buying this car my recommendation is to buy a reputable set of tires and brake pads as the stock tires/brake pads are poor. A few small upgrades and it handles plenty good for the public roads. That aside its been reliable, fuel efficient, practical, and if purchased new or CPO has a warranty that can't be beat.
just bought 14 turbo I love it.
autos have paddle shifters
couple months ago i was in the new car market, was deciding between this and the fiesta ST. i heard all about the bad handling of the velosters, i ended up getting the fiesta ST, and i will never regret it. Fiesta ST is so much fun, it definitely has the veloster beat and its slightly cheaper.
Oh and we got the R-Spec for $19.2K. It was brand new. We bought it in the summer of 2014. That makes it more bang for you buck than most of the competition.
Hyundai Accent + Veloster Turbo engine = sleeper. Both cars use the same base engine and transmission, so it's an easy swap. Bonus: The Accent weighs less and has an extra door.
"Umm, you know", "Umm, you know". Drives me insane! Good vid, tho.
Matt you should review a SRT4 neon they are pretty cool and fast!👍
U gotta review the mk7 golf R man! Try to drive one with a tune as well :)
WHAT'S UP EVERYBODY, SUPER DORKS FAN HERE FOR ANOTHER CAR REVIEW!
Russian5 lol every single time
recently driven in one but its hard to check the blind spots. Because when i turn my head to check, i cant see out the window because of the bad angle im in.
how do you check the blind spots in this car?
Like you hinted at, good set of tires go a long way. Could take those corners going much faster, with zero screeching. I hear lowering an inch or so makes a lot more difference as well
Great review! I agree with you as well Matt. Not my choice in the hot hatch market there is a lot of competition and better options available. I've only driven the Veloster N/A which was a girl I was dating at the time. I believe cosmetic wise its aimed towards that market. A cute girls car for those who want something more sporty than your average compact car.
The main thing that kept me from getting one of these.........only has a back door on one side. Very awkward. I opted to get a Sonic RS 1.4L turbo hatchback. It's funny that i've seen you review almost every other turbo hatchback out there currently except for the RS. Now granted the RS has one of the smallest and least powerful engines of most of them but it is still very fun to drive and has a lot of sporty features. 0-60 in 7.8 seconds. For a 2800 pound car with only 138hp and 148 torque that is pretty good. Very underrated especially when it is compared to the Fiesta ST, which only beats the RS in performance, but in build quality and reliability the RS is miles ahead of it. Not to mention I think the RS rides a lot smoother and handles just as sporty in everyday driving.
I own an R-Spec Veloster. Got it for 20 grand. Apparently kids at my town can't drive stick. Love the car so far. Not the fastest, but it gets me where I need to be quick enough and gets lots of attention from the ladies.
***** can't say much about reliability...it is practically new. The furthest I've ever driven has been 300 miles at a time. It has been a year since I bought the R-Spec and I've haven't had a single problem. Plus Hyundai's warranty is a crazy good deal. It ain't the fastest hot-hatch in the world, but it has a nice interior compared to other "faster" cars. Plus several girls liked the look and comfortableness of the ride.
I chose the Velsoter Rspec over the Fiesta St simply because it was bigger and I was getting out of a regular Fiesta. I love my car.
Saw victor gonzalez driving this in the ft lauderdale rally yesterday, looked sick but kenny's fiesta was the coolest car there :P
You would love the R-Spec way more than the Turbo. Better performing car in terms of handling without the comfort features. Also has the sport tuned suspension and the B&M short throw shifter. I would totally let you review mine if I weren't so far away lol
may not be a fast car, but when it makes you smile, then you know.
I have been watching your videos for a long time, and I think your videos would be way better with more critics. Its just seems like most of the cars are 'pretty good' or 'nice' in every perspective.
If you dont like something, then you could say that you dont like it.
Also, one thing bothers me is that aren't most of the push button start cars just start by clicking the button instead of holding the button?
It just seems a little uncomfortable and it would be a good point to bring it up in ur videos.
Anyway, I still enjoy your videos and thank you.
Great review. I own a 2016 Veloster Turbo and it's perfect. Tons of features, 30mpg, enough guts to make a lane change. Handling is mediocre....needs sway bars or some sort of upgrade. Stylish fake race car. Fits my 3 yr old, golf clubs, real estate signs and groceries.
$20k fully loaded.
Reminds me a little of my '89 CRX-si as far as the back glass and the overall driving impressions. If only it had IRS. If I had to pick one out of the group you'd listed I'd go for Fiesta ST....
Great job, really enjoyed it. Personally in a situation, would you recommend this over a 2013 mazda3 2.0?
if you want MPG Mazda...but this has 50 more horse and torque (give/take) and gets a few less on MPG, of course the price of the Veloster Turbo is a couple/three thousand more. But you also get more standard futures. All depends on just what you are looking for in a car really. I would take a day and go SEE and test them both to see what fits you best.
subaruwrxfan
are you thinking about installing aftermarket exhaust for the mustang and which type ???
I love my VT. Its been a great car. It turns a lot of heads too and gets many compliments. I agree with you about the tires however. Once I did the tire upgrade the ride and handling improved nicely, but for me that's all it really needed. I test drove both the GTi and the Si and on paper they probably edge the VT, but other than the braking, I didn't really notice that much of a difference that would justify spending an extra $3-5000 USD just to shave 0.5 sec or so off my 0-60 time. I don't really care about that stuff. Though the GTi and Si were definitely nice cars, I felt that for overall value, appearance, not to mention it's great warranty, the VT beat them both. To each their own I suppose. Nice review!
I need this car in my life
I didn't realize that this was filmed around Butler PA. I live only about 20 minutes away from where this was filmed.
Subrawrxstifan you should look inside and take a ride in a Honda Accord hybrid touring 2014.
It is an amazing car.
My friend has this car 2016 model with a 6-speed manual and raced a 2019 Honda Civic SI and Beat It
Matt, Would you prefer the Mazdaspeed3 or The Veloster?
I had a veloster turbo for two years and I was so happy to get rid of it. The handling sucked so bad and the ride wasn't smooth at all when hitting bumps through a corner. That first gear is so short which is why it constantly spins the tires. Just doing 5mph in a parking lot you'd be at 3k rpms, then second would pretty much be stalling. Even fully modded it's still not up to par with the competition. I wouldn't say the car overall sucked but I didn't really know what I was missing out on until I got rid of it. Thanks SWRXF for finally reviewing one. For anybody considering one, take lots of test drives on bumpy roads first. It's not a good car.
Turbo4Life1217 I owned a 2011 Genesis coupe, and I can safely say I will never own another Hyundai (Most likely). They need quite a bit of refinement. They aren't bad cars, in fact they are far beyond what they used to be, but they still have room to improve. It really sucks too, you buy these sporty cars (Genesis coupe/Veloster Turbo), and they really just don't compete all that well with their competition. Luckily for the both of them, I see tons of people driving them around simply because of how they look, plus they have tons of value. Hopefully the Veloster will do what the 2013+ Genesis coupe did (got significantly better to the previous generation), but only time will tell.
MrGovenator1 yes exactly. Value and looks will sell TONS of cars because you don't know what the car will truly be like until you've had it a while. I used to laugh at hyundai and kia but then became a fan. I'm now back on the other side, but still do hope they can someday create the complete package.
Turbo4Life1217 I need to drive a 2013+ Genesis coupe. I have been told is way better than the 2010-2012s, and hopefully those will brighten up the Genesis for me again, because I love the looks. The rear quarter panel shot is great.
MrGovenator1 i have a 2014 genesis coupe 2.0t i love it its a fun can to drive i got the premium package and it has nicer interior comoared to thr video he reviewed and a sunroof
Totally agree. Hyundai still can't come close to the performance and handling of the WRX, Golf GTi or Focus ST.
Is hyundai veloster reliable?
Bryel G. Yes I got a 2014 for my 16th and it’s still holding up like a champ
Bryel G. It’s a gamble, avoid the first year production model
which would you fine better... 2014 Hyundai Veloster Turbo or 2014 Ford Focus ST
Watching this video again tells me you really need to try out the R-Spec or Rally version of this car as it is significantly better handling. The problem with the R-Spec is the stock Kumho tires suck. They just have no grip. My 2008 Civic Si Michelin tires are all season as well but work so much better.
I drive a 4 cylinder turbo import (euro)in Detroit. I still love these cars but I’ll be honest I have getting my ass handed to me by a lot of American muscle lately. 400+ hp v8s are everywhere around here. It gets you thinking. Always happy at the gas pump though.
I remember when it first came out I was intrigued, went to the dealership and liked it but the one I actually wanted came out being quite a bit more expensive than I expected. I think the Fiesta ST has it beat in just about every enthusiast way now tho, including price per features/trim. Hyundai is slowly creeping out of the great value proposition segment and I dk if their rep is up to speed for that yet...
Did that car perhaps have soft compound tires, while the focus has hard compound tires - which might explain the tire noise..
Just got a 14 veloster turbo in Boston red... any tips for a first time manual driver?
Hey Matt! I'd like to see a review of an e46 m3 or e39 m5! If you get a chance to! Thanks
I now it's not being sold in the us, but you have to check the SEAT LEON CUPRA. It's an amazing fwd 280+ hp that does the nurburgring in 7:57.
