I was a Mazda guy and I just jumped ships because of what Hyundai is doing for the enthusiast! I purchased my 19 Veloster R-SPEC last month and I’m in love! Support what these guys are doing people.
Dealerships over in UT are charging 34K for this I would rather buy a well equipped and used mind you Audi RS4 at that price point found one with 34k miles in good condition for 32 so not sold on that yet
@@sargentpayne Really... This dealership is not, they have 2, this one for 29k and another without performance pack for 26k, you should try to find a non greedy dealership, because they are privately owned, this dealership in video i live 3 miles from, and i looked at the N without the performance pack and there was no extra charges.
I like your review, thank you so much. I finally gave up to buy Civic Type R because of bad customer service, and now I really fall in love Hyundai. I'm Japanese and I love Korea! Hyundai's customer service is so nice and very kindness. I'll order Veloster N by Tomorrow.
You could beat the hell out of this for 10 years 100k miles thats a deal. Once the warranty is over boost the hell out of it. Thats the way i would go.
Love, Love, Love this Turbo Hot Hatch from Hoonigan , Hoondai, Hyundai! As a Focus ST3 owner I really dig the fact that Hyundai will build a Manual Transmission car like this. Man is it light! 275hp. AWD would send me over the top and I would just have to go buy one today. That fact that it has a third (fourth) door for the backseat which is actually useable means the world to me. This thing is fun as Hell and practical. Ya can’t beat that. I don’t mind the sea of black interior at all. I love the styling inside and out. MSRP of $28K WOW if it’s true. I’m going to go to a Hyundai dealer and check out of they put a “rip off sticker” on this car with $2K worth of locking lug nuts and Scotchguard seats. I would refuse to pay for any of that nonsense. Fantastic review Joe! A half hour just flew by. I can’t believe how hard charging toward 50K SUB’s you are. Your moving at the speed of light. That would be 186K miles per second for you physics people out there...
Joe is spot-on. I like mine a lot. This is definitely a car geared explicitly towards the driving enthusiast, and it is very clear that almost all of the money you spend on this car goes to performance-related features and designs. It drops many of the features you would find on other cars around this price range, and adds on performance features you often don't see on some cars costing $15,000 more. I am blown away that I was able to buy a car with this degree of performance capability, customizability, desirable driving features, and performance-related electronics for around $25.5k. The handling is insane...this thing was built for amateur motorsports usage and it is going to be an autocross machine. It has features like LED headlights, functional air intakes that actually cool the brakes, proximity entry/push-button start (with a special 'N' key fob to boot), --truly-- good OEM summer tires on both trims, the ability to adjust how the one-touch turn signals function, a killer instrument cluster, an adjustable lumbar support, an actually quick-responsive and functional infotainment system with CarPlay/Android Auto, a crazy good exhaust note for a 4-banger, a full track computer that can log data over a duration, a spectacularly-implemented driving position and manual transmission, and the ability to adjust the suspension stiffness, steering sharpness, throttle response/exhaust output, impressively good brakes for floaters, allowable TC oversteer, and rev-match aggressiveness (and on the PP model, adjustable exhaust valve function and LSD lock.) There are cars costing quite a bit more that don't have nearly this many features. Certainly, other features are less-desirable or lacking outright, and this really is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get design. The plastic interior is one...this interior has more plastic than many cars I owned from the late-1990s and early-2000s. It is really basic. The cloth used on the seats is plain and simple (though the comfort/support/bolstering is exceptional). There is only one power outlet (though two USBs). The car does not have: the ability to store garage door opener signals, heated seats/mirrors, auto dimming mirrors, power seats (other than lumbar), blind spot detection, auto-up/down passenger windows, and various other features that have become extremely common on even relatively less-expensive vehicles (and, for that matter, many features that the high-trim (non-N) Veloster offers.) They don't even offer this car with options other than the Performance Pack, which solely adds performance features. There is also the caveat that the three-door design is a love-hate situation, and four doors are often more desirable for those constantly transporting passengers. Ultimately, it is very clear that the money spent on this car has gone to its performance attributes and that the primary designer knew exactly what they wanted the end-product to be, and exactly who they were building this car for. So, if you are looking for a car that is insanely fun to drive and you prioritize the driving experience over non-performance features or high-end interiors, you should absolutely take one of these for a test drive.

@@RaitisRides Not really. A WRX still has permanent 4WD (Torsen diff).

Great review! How does the Veloster N compare to the BRZ with performance package? They are similarly priced. I’m considering both cars. I have test driven the BRZ but have not test driven the Veloster N yet. Which one do you like better?
Oh man, this might put a wrench in my plans for a fiesta st. Thanks for making my life more difficult! :) In all seriousness, I love how in-depth you go, as well as how you give your thoughts on what improvements could be made. Keep it up, mate! I’m going to test drive one of these and a fiesta st this week, for a proper comparison.
Excellent review Joe!! Holy cow that looks fun!! I watched every second of this videos just like I do all the other videos because they are ALWAYS entertaining!! This channel gives me a new experience daily!! The N seems special for sure!! I love seeing the channel grow daily and I’m grateful to be a part of the fam!! I cant get enough!! I hope to talk again soon my friend!! God bless ya Joe!!🚙🙏🏻😀🙏🏻🚘
Joe, you are spot-on with this review. I had the chance to drive one yesterday...and to be honest, I'm thinking about trading in my STI for an N. Hyundai's decision to build an intermediate performance car between the WRX/ST/Si/GTI and the STI/RS/TypeR/Golf R is ingenious IMO. The car is an immense amount of fun, completely ready for amateur motorsports use out-of-the-box, but maintains a degree of civility that is exceptional. And other Makers are definitely in BIG trouble...this car does not feel like a first attempt at this segment. It feels like a car made by a Maker that's been dominating this segment for years and has a very good understanding of exactly what enthusiasts like. If this car sells well, I feel like Hyundai could pretty easily build a higher performance N variant that dethrones the CTR and RS.
If you listen he said Hyundai said we won't get an AWD version just yet we'll have to wait "that's what the Hyundai representatives are saying." @ 6:35 So it sounds like they're coming out with an AWD Veloster N variant. Sit tight.
This car will be a big hit IMO, outside looks super clean, my big zonk will be the same you said, that interior man, doors panels look so bland and to much black, but I’m pretty sure the performance aspect of it will overcome that and that exhaust sound....geez...way better than a Type-R, I’ll love to test one for sure. Pretty sure there will be a lot of aftermarket options for this pretty soon. Great stuff Joe 👍👌
I'm a fan of this car. Neat niche type car. We need more of this from more manufacturers. Reasonably priced fun cars. Now be honest, but if in the market for a hot hatch, would you go this or if financials allowed, is the Civic Type R just worth getting over the Veloster N? From what I've seen, Civic Type R all the way, but that doesn't take away from this Veloster N.
I have a 2018 scatpack and once my lease is over im jumping into the Veloster N. Unless the elantra N comes out. I rather the elantra just for the size, but the Veloster is an awesome looking car. Great review you got a new subscriber.
@@RaitisRides its definitely fast and fun. But its a 1 trick pony. And there really isnt anywhere to drive it to its potential on the street. Something compact and fun to drive u can ring out on backroads and not worry much about it. Ill miss the scat but ive always been more of a tuner guy. Wrx, mazsaspeed3, mazaspeed6, a couple of civics and 200sx se-r's. Just more of my thing.
Hell yeah Joe, this is the video I watched the night before I bought my 2019 back in April last year. Was the first vid I caught of yours. You definitely steered me in the right direction, it's been a blast. I read through a lot of the comments below as well and I will have to hand it to you for being patient with the viewers. It cracks me up and makes me want to slap some fools for you 😂. Personally I've never even noticed the lack of amenities in this car because I bought it for driving enjoyment. IDK why anyone who has to have leather seats or a sunroof would even be here. Go get your automatic, loaded up econobox and be done with it, this isn't for you. Would also say that if you are looking for straight line performance, GTFO of here too. This car isn't even built for that. It's got what it needs to do the job it's intended for, why are you looking at a car like this if you don't know how to make turns? Jesus, Joseph and Mary there are some dense mothrfkrs on UA-cam. Lol. Thanks man I appreciate it!!
I just finished watching your vlog on your 2017 Ford Focus RS, and at the end, was a link to this video on the Veloster N. So, I had to watch it, [again], and it still blows me away. My question to you Joe, is this. If you could go back in time, would you still choose the RS over this Veloster N? I'm not aware of the specs on your RS, so I can't make an educated decision on which car may be the the better buy.
Those fake buttons next to the shifter are for things like heated and cooled seat controls that we don't get here in the U.S. Hyundai basically dropped any available options for this car. Korean Market Veloster N can be equipped with heated/cooled leather seats and even a decent size sunroof. And it's not just Hyundai. Almost every brand loves to do this in the U.S. market for some reason.
WOW!!! what a car. Gotta get behind the wheel of this bad boy! Great presentation Joe, as usual. Love everything about this car. I'm only concerned about the comfort that you alluded to more than once. For now, its my first choice, due to the price and performance. But, I will check out that Focus "RS" and the Honda civic "R" before making a choice. Pricing will also play a big part in my decision making. A million thanks for this vlog. Keep em' comin'.
The price of this is 5 to 7K cheaper then the other 2 cars.There is no comparing yes the other 2 are faster but if this is the same 2.0T that I have in my Gencoupe there are high performance parts out there for it as in cams rods and pistons.Just wait till some different companies come out with their own chips.Also the warranty is 10/100K in the US the other 2 don't offer that.
I wonder how many owners love having a coupe with a back door for the baby seat. Never thought about it, but it sure would be handy for someone who has a child yet still wants a sporty coupe-type car.
Would you trade in a ‘17 Focus ST for one? Test drove one in the middle of a hurricane rain shower yesterday and couldn’t really hear or feel anything significant. Going to test drive again. Curious since you’re wife has an ST.
Great car for price I30N available here in UK . Would consider buying above a GTI or Rs Megane. Type R and Cupra faster fwd hot hatch but for daily is really good option with nice styling and performance.
Loved this! For under 30k that's quite alot of car, wish mine came with adjustable dampening lol. Hopefully one day, someone will put you on a track so can be at Top Gear/Gran Tour level.
That’s a hot little hatchback. I could see one in your future( and Lori’s)...he he! I was late to the party tonight because it was bowling night. Nice review. I think you really enjoyed this one. 👍🏻👍🏻
I did not know that about the dead peddle, I learn something new every day ! The driving sections of these videos would make good Radio or a Podcast, all down to your communication skills.
This has to be one of your longest test runs ever but you know what, that is OK. This will be our next car. Hyundai did so much right with this car it is amazing especially at this price point. They made all the right decisions with how to spend the money. It was a sad day when I had to let go of my Honda CRX I had from high school BUT knowing this Veloster N exists makes it all OK. In my mind, this, not the Honda Civic Type R is the true successor to the Honda CRX and unlike my old CRX, it has back seats. I'm not even going to talk about the CR-Z. Well done, Hyundai. Well done.
This one is attainable performance and maybe you don't worry about it as much because it's not some 50k car. Seems like a great commuter car for the money.
I'm glad you think the way I think. Getting a more expensive car, sometimes you might feel too cautious with it because you either paid alot for it or monthly payments are high. If your payments are less, you tend to feel a little looser with it, but doesn't mean you should treat it like absolute trash, lol.
@@RaitisRides You'd have a never ending smile! I love this car. But a stick is not practical for traffic here in Korea. They are developing a new 8 speed dct that we'll see soon.
Freaking awesome! Man that car sounds nice! Love the way you were taking those turns. Can you match the interior with the exterior color for the paddles on the steering wheel? Lets say red exterior color and make the paddles red? Tom good luck on the power lifting man.💪
I just bought a GTI Rabbit Edition and if this one was available I would have bought it for sure. The dealer here was trying to charge an extra 10K on the 29k MSRP.
Wanted to upgrade my 2014 Veloster Turbo to an N, in black but the lack of interior options (I like my heated leather seats) and the baby blue seat belts kill it for me. Don't want the blue paint and a black car with red exterior trim AND baby blue seatbelts, no those belts would drive me nuts. I'll wait a couple years, make sure the 275hp engines don't grenade themselves and hope they add interior options you can get in cheaper Velosters.
Because Honda doesn't offer a Civic Hatch Si in the current generation, I started looking at other hot hatch alternatives. And I really honed in on this Veloster N. Looks really good and super affordable. I may look for this car next year when my current car no longer has negative equity. Useful for driving every day while still being a little playful. I can dig it so hard. Love your review of it.
So I'm a 20 year old male and I currently own a 2010 ford fusion sport. I've been in the market for a fun car around $20-25k. I really like this car, i don't mind the black plastic because I'm not too picky about that stuff. Having that being said, would you recommend this? I've already gotten insurance quotes and its definitely in my area
Buy it. I got mine brand new for around $25k (non-Performance Package model). There is nothing even remotely close in pricing that compares to this car. If your main goal is driving gratification, this car becomes even more distinguished.
@@Fly2kill1 Both are exceptional cars and both have their own advantages. But neither compares in the fun factor IMO (the new ST probably does, but I am not sure if we will get them Stateside.)
First thing I would have to do is purchase a nice winter wheel package from Tirerack. I think the Civic Type R is a better performer, but the N does not look like it’s going through an identity crisis like the R.
Love the review and the enthusiasm! Looking at getting an i30N sometime this year. This veloster looks great but hasnt been released in Australia.. yet.
Nice video man. I sat in the Veloster N at the Chicago auto show. I'm not gonna lie, the interior is rough. The seats especially were pretty janky looking, but maybe it was just that they were dirty from press duty. Couldn't tell. The performance though seems really promising. Bang for your buck is crazy!
Raiti's Rides this car! I’ve been following it ever since it was announced. I even got to see it drive on the Nürburgring when I was in Germany (video on my channel) and I have been in love with it ever since!
Just a quick comment about the Veloster N. I did a few local to me (New Jersey) web searches and I went to a few Hyundai dealer websites and I can not find this car anywhere. I have no doubt that this thing is going to be marked up thousands over MSRP by greedy dealers. I will do some more research and let you know what I come up with. Joe, are you saying that you can get one or more from the dealership that you have a relationship with? If so this might be a way for people around the country to order this car without dealership markup.
Definitely a Zonk on the seats. Why didn’t they just use the same seats as the Elantra GT N-Line? This car not realistic for me (more suited for younger people IMO). Hope they bring that engine to the Elantra GT or Sedan. Also hope they will bring over AWD too. Right now the only AWD option is the Golf R and they are expensive and so hard to find. Great review as always Joe.
I'm almost 68 y/o and I feel just fine in it! I had a 2016 Veloster Turbo DCT and do miss all the "options" like heated seats, NAV, garage door opener, etc. but is does put a smile on your face when you can easily keep up with a Porsche Boxter S!
Great review as always and thanks again Tom. One question to any mechanics or wrenchers in the audience, I heard that in an interview Albert Bierman said that the crackles and pops (aka the Rice Krispies) are a result of tuning the turbos to spool during shifts and not just because they sound cool. Does that make mechanical sense? I seem to recall some manufactures, like Jaguar, allowing extra fuel into the exhaust for the purpose of those rice krispy treats, but not for any performance reason. In any case, it is the most unexpectedly throaty exhaust I’ve heard from such a small car. It’s like the Rick Astley of hot hatches.
Thanks Jorge! Very good question! You are right on what you heard! It allows the turbos to stay spooled so boost levels are not dropped! It is sort of like anti-lag in a rally car.
The only thing I don't care for is the back seat. It's super cramped back there if you've ever tried to fit in one. Hard to convince the S.O. it's a practical car.
2020 is a much better improvement as it has a rear muti link independent suspension. This has a rear torsion bar. Under body reviews are good to add to bro. Best of luck.
FUN car, just finished a test drive!!! Pop Pop Pop couldn’t get enough,the review is pretty spot on! Down side Dealer Markup $10k sticker was 45K. I can’t do it, limited numbers so not too much you can do about it. Worth it hell yeah! Side note: N division is going to spread... the sales person I spoke with told me that the N line (not like ST Line) will be offered on all models!!! WTF, if this is true I’m excited. Tested a GTI today and the seats in the GTI are much better... GTI S $30K is take the N all day and on Sunday... lol Interior on the GTI is so much better, but let’s be honest we are talking performance and the N gives it to you!
Can you hear any rattles or squeaks coming from inside the car? I heard the Veloster is known to have this issue, especially the one with the sunroof like the non n model.
Raiti's Rides Oh I know Joe. Big fan subscriber. I watch all your videos pretty much. I’ve just been researching a Veloster iN. And I was watching on my TV which is a much bigger screen than the phone. I just couldn’t help cracking up because your commentary what is without seeing your face just your nose LOL
Anyone remeber that veloster comertial were they avertise how the three doors stoped people from getting hit by forcing them to get out from the door that opens to the side walk
Went to 3 Dealer's to compare price Honda type R $38,064 Veloster N $37,465 That's only $599.00 Difference. This is Ontario CA. Also noticed that Honda is willing lower the price compared to Hyundai.
It sounds like the Hyundai dealership is marking up the Veloster N and I would not recommend buying into their markup. The MSRP of the Veloster N is $30k and they want to charge a $7k markup. The Honda dealership is also marking up the CTR too because the MSRP of those cars are $36k for the 2019 models. 2019 CTR models reached dealerships around October to November of last year so that dealer might have been sitting on it for a while now and are willing to let it go for MSRP. You live in one of the worse states for specialty cars like these. Those dealers over there are trying to get as much money as possible because they know what kind of car they have. You should've seen when the 2017 CTRs first came out. Dealers were marking them as far as $50k and people were buying them. One guy that wanted the Veloster N got fed up and bought one from Pennsylvania, flew to PA to sign paperwork, flew back to CA and had the car shipped back to CA. It sounds like a lot of work but he probably saved $3k doing all this compared to the what the dealers in CA were going to charge him. CA dealers is just a shitshow. Even I bought my Veloster N at MSRP of $30k and not a penny more.
Thanks for sharing that info! I know here in Florida the Type Rs at many dealers are being marked up still but the Veloster N (s) are still at sticker.
it would be much better if there's more choices like performance package(alcantara interior, carbon exterior...) and some additional option on US(heated seats: what those empty buttons are for, leather seats...) still very nice work for hyundai
IDK why the things like the G-sensor dosen't record information, or at least hold it temporarily. As far as I could tell from my test drive, that information was only available in real time. Seems like a missed opportunity or overlooked element.
I was a Mazda guy and I just jumped ships because of what Hyundai is doing for the enthusiast! I purchased my 19 Veloster R-SPEC last month and I’m in love! Support what these guys are doing people.
Thanks Jace for sharing that ownership experience!
Jace Brooklyn still loving it 5 months later? Any issues?
No Brembo’s to keep the car at an attainable price. $28K for a proper hot hatch. Hyundai blew this one out of the park.
You are so very right William!
can buy bremo to replace it also@!

Another UA-camr did a video, dealer he visited quoted him $44k for an N with performance pack. Blew his mind how shady that place was.

Great review! How does the Veloster N compare to the BRZ with performance package? They are similarly priced. I’m considering both cars. I have test driven the BRZ but have not test driven the Veloster N yet. Which one do you like better?
The Veloster N communicates to you more and has that extra acceleration that helps!
Are you saying you the Veloster N handles better than the BRZ and is more responsive?
The BRZ handles the really tight twisties well but the Veloster N with it's extra power can really be felt and the way they have it mapped is perfect.
I appreciate cars companies like Hyundai. They make permance cars that is attainable by the average car guy like me.
AGREED!
Oh man, this might put a wrench in my plans for a fiesta st. Thanks for making my life more difficult! :) In all seriousness, I love how in-depth you go, as well as how you give your thoughts on what improvements could be made. Keep it up, mate! I’m going to test drive one of these and a fiesta st this week, for a proper comparison.
Excellent review Joe!! Holy cow that looks fun!! I watched every second of this videos just like I do all the other videos because they are ALWAYS entertaining!! This channel gives me a new experience daily!! The N seems special for sure!! I love seeing the channel grow daily and I’m grateful to be a part of the fam!! I cant get enough!! I hope to talk again soon my friend!! God bless ya Joe!!🚙🙏🏻😀🙏🏻🚘
This car was a blast Shaun! I a truly blessed to have these great opportunities!
It definitely looked like a blast Joe!! Have a great weekend and I look forward to the next ride!!!🚘👍🏽🚙
Same to you my friend!
Joe, you are spot-on with this review. I had the chance to drive one yesterday...and to be honest, I'm thinking about trading in my STI for an N. Hyundai's decision to build an intermediate performance car between the WRX/ST/Si/GTI and the STI/RS/TypeR/Golf R is ingenious IMO. The car is an immense amount of fun, completely ready for amateur motorsports use out-of-the-box, but maintains a degree of civility that is exceptional.
And other Makers are definitely in BIG trouble...this car does not feel like a first attempt at this segment. It feels like a car made by a Maker that's been dominating this segment for years and has a very good understanding of exactly what enthusiasts like. If this car sells well, I feel like Hyundai could pretty easily build a higher performance N variant that dethrones the CTR and RS.
If you listen he said Hyundai said we won't get an AWD version just yet we'll have to wait "that's what the Hyundai representatives are saying." @ 6:35
So it sounds like they're coming out with an AWD Veloster N variant. Sit tight.
This car will be a big hit IMO, outside looks super clean, my big zonk will be the same you said, that interior man, doors panels look so bland and to much black, but I’m pretty sure the performance aspect of it will overcome that and that exhaust sound....geez...way better than a Type-R, I’ll love to test one for sure. Pretty sure there will be a lot of aftermarket options for this pretty soon. Great stuff Joe 👍👌
You and I think very a like when it comes to cars!
I'm a fan of this car. Neat niche type car. We need more of this from more manufacturers. Reasonably priced fun cars. Now be honest, but if in the market for a hot hatch, would you go this or if financials allowed, is the Civic Type R just worth getting over the Veloster N? From what I've seen, Civic Type R all the way, but that doesn't take away from this Veloster N.
AGREED! Thanks for watching!
CTR for sure. CTR will hold better value too.
I have a 2018 scatpack and once my lease is over im jumping into the Veloster N. Unless the elantra N comes out. I rather the elantra just for the size, but the Veloster is an awesome looking car. Great review you got a new subscriber.
Thanks for joining the Raiti's Rides family! What did you not like about your Scat Pack? This car is a blast to drive!
@@RaitisRides its definitely fast and fun. But its a 1 trick pony. And there really isnt anywhere to drive it to its potential on the street. Something compact and fun to drive u can ring out on backroads and not worry much about it. Ill miss the scat but ive always been more of a tuner guy. Wrx, mazsaspeed3, mazaspeed6, a couple of civics and 200sx se-r's. Just more of my thing.
Hell yeah Joe, this is the video I watched the night before I bought my 2019 back in April last year. Was the first vid I caught of yours. You definitely steered me in the right direction, it's been a blast.
I read through a lot of the comments below as well and I will have to hand it to you for being patient with the viewers. It cracks me up and makes me want to slap some fools for you 😂.
Personally I've never even noticed the lack of amenities in this car because I bought it for driving enjoyment. IDK why anyone who has to have leather seats or a sunroof would even be here. Go get your automatic, loaded up econobox and be done with it, this isn't for you. Would also say that if you are looking for straight line performance, GTFO of here too. This car isn't even built for that. It's got what it needs to do the job it's intended for, why are you looking at a car like this if you don't know how to make turns? Jesus, Joseph and Mary there are some dense mothrfkrs on UA-cam. Lol. Thanks man I appreciate it!!
You are so very welcome my friend! I am so glad that I could share my passion for cars with you and help you get the right car.
probably the single best OEM 4 cylinder exhaust. Sounds so good
Ryan Chow fiat 500 Abarth still has that title.
The veloster n has the best exhaust sound with those anti-lag performance oriented pops
Nice review man not into the veloster but that N one seems nice specially the test drive it seemed a lot of fun
Thanks for the compliment! This car was a blast to drive!
This car took over the ST hatch
I totally get where you are coming from!
About to change mine for this exact same car PP
@@ChuckNorrisxxxking have you gotten one yet? I'm curious because I too have a Focus ST that I'm debating trading in for a Veloster N pp
MonRoe x yes i have mine, go test drive one its worth it. Ans see if you can live the interior
I love how clear you explained everything! 💗👌👍
That really means a lot! Thank you for letting me share it with you!
@@RaitisRides You're very welcome! I actually want to get one myself. 😁😄
I just finished watching your vlog on your 2017 Ford Focus RS, and at the end, was a link to this video on the Veloster N. So, I had to watch it, [again], and it still blows me away. My question to you Joe, is this. If you could go back in time, would you still choose the RS over this Veloster N? I'm not aware of the specs on your RS, so I can't make an educated decision on which car may be the the better buy.
Hey @Raiti what would you prefer/recommend a Focus ST or Veloster N?
Those fake buttons next to the shifter are for things like heated and cooled seat controls that we don't get here in the U.S. Hyundai basically dropped any available options for this car. Korean Market Veloster N can be equipped with heated/cooled leather seats and even a decent size sunroof. And it's not just Hyundai. Almost every brand loves to do this in the U.S. market for some reason.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
except honda, si and type R have sunroof and heated seats
@@bushisahomo No the type R doens't have those.
@@VQ25DETT my mistake, i have the si and thought the R had same features
No sunroof on the Type R.
WOW!!! what a car. Gotta get behind the wheel of this bad boy! Great presentation Joe, as usual. Love everything about this car. I'm only concerned about the comfort that you alluded to more than once. For now, its my first choice, due to the price and performance. But, I will check out that Focus "RS" and the Honda civic "R" before making a choice. Pricing will also play a big part in my decision making. A million thanks for this vlog. Keep em' comin'.
The price of this is 5 to 7K cheaper then the other 2 cars.There is no comparing yes the other 2 are faster but if this is the same 2.0T that I have in my Gencoupe there are high performance parts out there for it as in cams rods and pistons.Just wait till some different companies come out with their own chips.Also the warranty is 10/100K in the US the other 2 don't offer that.
@@cindysue5474 the warranty is irrelevant if you plan on modding the car.
You are really great Paul! Thanks for taking the time to mention those great points! This one has a lot of bang for the buck!
You are so very right Cindy!
That is a very good point but stock for stock it is there!
3rd time watching this this Hot Hatch keeps growing on me liking the exhaust sounds
I am so glad that you liked this one Dustin! You have to drive one!
I wonder how many owners love having a coupe with a back door for the baby seat. Never thought about it, but it sure would be handy for someone who has a child yet still wants a sporty coupe-type car.
For a Hyundai that shit looks pretty damn good... Thanks Joe for your Kick-Ass reviews I'm Honda guy but damn that shit ain't too shabby imo
Thanks George for letting me share this one with you!
I like everything about this car but the interior is my only problem. Wish they would have given it some more detail like you said.
AGREED!
I don’t mind the all black, but they have plenty of other versions with better interiors, just not with this one to keep it cheap
Hey Joe, i currently drive a 2017 ilx aspec, but have the opportunity to get into a veloster n. What do you think?
Would you trade in a ‘17 Focus ST for one? Test drove one in the middle of a hurricane rain shower yesterday and couldn’t really hear or feel anything significant. Going to test drive again. Curious since you’re wife has an ST.
Great car for price I30N available here in UK . Would consider buying above a GTI or Rs Megane.
Type R and Cupra faster fwd hot hatch but for daily is really good option with nice styling and performance.
A M great to hear a UK perspective on these cars.
Thanks for your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Yes sir! AGREED!
Keep up the videos they are awesome. Thinking about getting one soon, currently drive an evo x looking to get something different.
Thanks Edric! I appreciate you saying that! I love the Evo X!
Nice turbo car! Thank's Joe for a great review!
Thanks George for being so great!
Loved this! For under 30k that's quite alot of car, wish mine came with adjustable dampening lol. Hopefully one day, someone will put you on a track so can be at Top Gear/Gran Tour level.
I am totally game for that Ben! I appreciate you saying that!
Freaking cool popper. Hyundai is no joke anymore.
AGREED!
N Sportscar, real Sportscar is coming.
@28:34 "very nice, very nice" as you scare the crap outta that dude haha! Killer review bro.
I never thought I would say this but I need this Hyundai
I am so glad that I could share it with you David!
That’s a hot little hatchback.
I could see one in your future( and Lori’s)...he he!
I was late to the party tonight because it was bowling night.
Nice review. I think you really enjoyed this one. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks brother for watching! Hey you never know! It was that much fun to drive!
Nice review! I'll drive my green envy Fiesta ST till the wheels fall off, but this may be the replacement some day.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one Robbie!
I did not know that about the dead peddle, I learn something new every day !
The driving sections of these videos would make good Radio or a Podcast, all down to your communication skills.
That is really awesome of you to say that Andy! I have been thinking about podcasts! I really appreciate your support!
This has to be one of your longest test runs ever but you know what, that is OK. This will be our next car. Hyundai did so much right with this car it is amazing especially at this price point. They made all the right decisions with how to spend the money. It was a sad day when I had to let go of my Honda CRX I had from high school BUT knowing this Veloster N exists makes it all OK. In my mind, this, not the Honda Civic Type R is the true successor to the Honda CRX and unlike my old CRX, it has back seats. I'm not even going to talk about the CR-Z. Well done, Hyundai. Well done.
This one is attainable performance and maybe you don't worry about it as much because it's not some 50k car. Seems like a great commuter car for the money.
I'm glad you think the way I think. Getting a more expensive car, sometimes you might feel too cautious with it because you either paid alot for it or monthly payments are high. If your payments are less, you tend to feel a little looser with it, but doesn't mean you should treat it like absolute trash, lol.
It has a lot of bang for the buck!
AGREED!
@@RaitisRides PS this car just received an All Star Award by Automobile. See MSN.com
Thanks for sharing that info!
Cant wait for the 2021 review!
Looks like you had fun doing this review Joe! At this price point, you simply cannot buy a car that's more fun than this!
John you are so very right! I am so tempted to get one!
@@RaitisRides You'd have a never ending smile! I love this car. But a stick is not practical for traffic here in Korea. They are developing a new 8 speed dct that we'll see soon.
That should be very interesting to say the least!
Hyundai really did a fantastic job on this one.
Great review as well.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Freaking awesome! Man that car sounds nice! Love the way you were taking those turns. Can you match the interior with the exterior color for the paddles on the steering wheel? Lets say red exterior color and make the paddles red?
Tom good luck on the power lifting man.💪
I am so glad that you liked this one Henry! That would be nice if you could color match the paddles.
I just bought a GTI Rabbit Edition and if this one was available I would have bought it for sure. The dealer here was trying to charge an extra 10K on the 29k MSRP.
Congrats on your new Rabbit! What color did you get? I can't believe the $10k markup!
Raiti's Rides I got the black one. Looks great with those black wheels!
You mentioned your focus RS. If you could pick either, which would you go with??
I would actually go with the Veloster N. It's more fun to drive.
@@RaitisRides thank you for your opinion. I'll give one a test ride. It would be really neat if you had a chance to compare the two in the future.
Fantastic car. Love the Veloster N.
Thank you so much for letting me share this with you!
Honestly never considered this car until a couple of friends got them. Now I’m like let’s go for it and get the N
I totally agree with you!
The man in the middle of the road towards the end was giving you a death stare from hell lol... Should of hit him.. JP 😂
LOL! I didn't want to mess up the pretty bodywork.
@@RaitisRides your right 😂.. Love your work man.. Keep it up!! 👍🏽
Wanted to upgrade my 2014 Veloster Turbo to an N, in black but the lack of interior options (I like my heated leather seats) and the baby blue seat belts kill it for me. Don't want the blue paint and a black car with red exterior trim AND baby blue seatbelts, no those belts would drive me nuts. I'll wait a couple years, make sure the 275hp engines don't grenade themselves and hope they add interior options you can get in cheaper Velosters.
I can totally understand where you are coming from!
Because Honda doesn't offer a Civic Hatch Si in the current generation, I started looking at other hot hatch alternatives. And I really honed in on this Veloster N. Looks really good and super affordable. I may look for this car next year when my current car no longer has negative equity. Useful for driving every day while still being a little playful. I can dig it so hard. Love your review of it.
You bring up some great points! Thanks for the compliment and for letting me share it with you!
Awesome content as always man! Kinda makes me want one
Thanks Brad! I feel the same way!
So I'm a 20 year old male and I currently own a 2010 ford fusion sport. I've been in the market for a fun car around $20-25k. I really like this car, i don't mind the black plastic because I'm not too picky about that stuff. Having that being said, would you recommend this? I've already gotten insurance quotes and its definitely in my area
This car is amazing!
Buy it. I got mine brand new for around $25k (non-Performance Package model). There is nothing even remotely close in pricing that compares to this car. If your main goal is driving gratification, this car becomes even more distinguished.
Civic Si and fiST also for under $25k. FiST can come in under $20k.
@@Fly2kill1 Both are exceptional cars and both have their own advantages. But neither compares in the fun factor IMO (the new ST probably does, but I am not sure if we will get them Stateside.)
Zac Paul I agree. No we are not getting anymore Firstas or focus. The Si has a lot of pull, if I was stuck at $25k that would be my pick.
im in the process of buying an N. im either going black or white. What does everyone think.? Which color would you get?
Definitely white. Im waiting for 2020 veloster n with some options like heated seats, steering wheels and sunroof. Good luck buddy :)
White
The blue one. (or white) but blue is pretty cool.
@@sdoberma Im up in Canada and we get heated steering wheel and seats standard for obvious reasons, its cold! lol
@@charlottetownspud7903 oh yeah I heard that. Thats really nice. Hopefully next year us version have that option too:)
First thing I would have to do is purchase a nice winter wheel package from Tirerack. I think the Civic Type R is a better performer, but the N does not look like it’s going through an identity crisis like the R.
Great input! Thank you for sharing!
Love the review and the enthusiasm! Looking at getting an i30N sometime this year. This veloster looks great but hasnt been released in Australia.. yet.
It was a blast to drive! I wish we had the i30N located over here in the States! Thanks for watching!
So glad you used zonk less in this video
Been waiting for this.
Trust me Bill so have I! I hope it was worth the wait!
Great review as always! Give us a 2019 mazda 3 review as soon as it comes out! I would say by next month. Awd too!
Yes sir! I will get that together!
Nice video man. I sat in the Veloster N at the Chicago auto show. I'm not gonna lie, the interior is rough. The seats especially were pretty janky looking, but maybe it was just that they were dirty from press duty. Couldn't tell. The performance though seems really promising. Bang for your buck is crazy!
Agree the seats should of had leather suede in the centers and even in the door panels and a soft touch dash pad.
You hit the nails rights one the head!
AGREED!
Lol I knew I recognized this channel; this is the guy that says Honday! Nice video though! Currently saving up for this car actually.
Well I guess that's my calling card! What are you saving for?
Raiti's Rides this car! I’ve been following it ever since it was announced. I even got to see it drive on the Nürburgring when I was in Germany (video on my channel) and I have been in love with it ever since!
Just a quick comment about the Veloster N. I did a few local to me (New Jersey) web searches and I went to a few Hyundai dealer websites and I can not find this car anywhere. I have no doubt that this thing is going to be marked up thousands over MSRP by greedy dealers. I will do some more research and let you know what I come up with. Joe, are you saying that you can get one or more from the dealership that you have a relationship with? If so this might be a way for people around the country to order this car without dealership markup.
That really stinks! Yes I can get access to this car!
Just give it time. It will be selling below msrp before you know it. The production numbers aren't limited enough to warrant continued markups.
Greet video 👍🏼👌🏼 can’t wait till I get mine 😬
Thank you so much for saying that! You will love this!
Definitely a Zonk on the seats. Why didn’t they just use the same seats as the Elantra GT N-Line? This car not realistic for me (more suited for younger people IMO). Hope they bring that engine to the Elantra GT or Sedan. Also hope they will bring over AWD too. Right now the only AWD option is the Golf R and they are expensive and so hard to find. Great review as always Joe.
You made some very good points! Thanks for sharing those! I ask myself the same questions and you are so very right about the Golf R!
I'm almost 68 y/o and I feel just fine in it! I had a 2016 Veloster Turbo DCT and do miss all the "options" like heated seats, NAV, garage door opener, etc. but is does put a smile on your face when you can easily keep up with a Porsche Boxter S!
Great presentation.... Great review!
Long live the hot hatch!!!👍
That really means a lot! Thanks for watching!
Great review as always and thanks again Tom. One question to any mechanics or wrenchers in the audience, I heard that in an interview Albert Bierman said that the crackles and pops (aka the Rice Krispies) are a result of tuning the turbos to spool during shifts and not just because they sound cool. Does that make mechanical sense? I seem to recall some manufactures, like Jaguar, allowing extra fuel into the exhaust for the purpose of those rice krispy treats, but not for any performance reason. In any case, it is the most unexpectedly throaty exhaust I’ve heard from such a small car. It’s like the Rick Astley of hot hatches.
Thanks Jorge! Very good question! You are right on what you heard! It allows the turbos to stay spooled so boost levels are not dropped! It is sort of like anti-lag in a rally car.
Cool to know it’s functional. Thanks Joe!
Yes sir! Thanks for salad!
Raiti's Rides salad?
DAMN auto-correct! Support!
Great content as always.
That is really so awesome of you to say!
This or the Elantra GT Sport N Line will be my next car, you think a Veloster can handle 2 small children if it isn't the primary kid hauler?
Hi Cody! Great Question! I think there will be plenty of room for them. The car is a blast to drive!
Love my new veloster N performance package Awesome, now need to tint those windows, im really happy camper ,thx great video bud
Congrats Mitch! Thanks for the support!
The only thing I don't care for is the back seat. It's super cramped back there if you've ever tried to fit in one. Hard to convince the S.O. it's a practical car.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Imma getting this right when I turn 16. Ur awesome
Thanks for saying that Alex!
2020 is a much better improvement as it has a rear muti link independent suspension. This has a rear torsion bar. Under body reviews are good to add to bro. Best of luck.
FUN car, just finished a test drive!!! Pop Pop Pop couldn’t get enough,the review is pretty spot on! Down side Dealer Markup $10k sticker was 45K. I can’t do it, limited numbers so not too much you can do about it. Worth it hell yeah! Side note: N division is going to spread... the sales person I spoke with told me that the N line (not like ST Line) will be offered on all models!!! WTF, if this is true I’m excited. Tested a GTI today and the seats in the GTI are much better... GTI S $30K is take the N all day and on Sunday... lol Interior on the GTI is so much better, but let’s be honest we are talking performance and the N gives it to you!
Michael Anthony Alvarez - yeah dealers marking them up.Ill wait.
Thank for your great input Michael! I can't believe they were adding mark up on this car! May I ask where that was?
Not at Hyundai of New Port Richey!
@@RaitisRides Puente Hills Hyundai
$600.00 payment they were asking for had me and my son on the floor.
GEESH that is insane!
Great car, but i would still like to see the i30n and the fastback.
I feel the same exact way!
they don't offer those in their home country 😂
I like it! Would like to see a comparison with the VW GTI!!
I will try to get that together! I can promise you though when it comes to performance this thing will blow it out of the water!
Late to the video, but Joe mentioned the STi, the Type R and the RS as comparisons, but not the Golf R/GTI...
This is true.
Can you hear any rattles or squeaks coming from inside the car? I heard the Veloster is known to have this issue, especially the one with the sunroof like the non n model.
None what so ever!
Might take a couple thousand miles for that to start
@@FilthyFauci got 10k on mine and I haven't driven gingerly. It's still tight with no squeaking whatsoever.
Joe, whats up with the talking nose? New nostril vision cam? Good informative video as always. Have to bust balls, I mean nostrils Lol.
Thanks Randy! This is an older review! I run a different setup now.
Raiti's Rides Oh I know Joe. Big fan subscriber. I watch all your videos pretty much. I’ve just been researching a Veloster iN. And I was watching on my TV which is a much bigger screen than the phone. I just couldn’t help cracking up because your commentary what is without seeing your face just your nose LOL
That's a nice looking hatch! You can bet the aftermarket guys are gonna go nuts making mods for this.
I couldn't agree with you more!
I would take this car over any other current hot hatch on the market today.
Thank you for sharing that perspective! It is a really great car!
The "new" MazdaSpeed3 basically!...haha...Mazdas direction in cars is pretty sad these days.
I totally agree with you!
Mitsubishi is even worse. Ridding the recaro was bad enough and then getting rid of the car entirely.
Hi joe pls. Answer my question which shifter is better veloster n or focus rs?
With the auto-rev match downshifting on the Veloster N it is better.
@@RaitisRides thanks joe
You are so very welcome Dennis!
Anyone remeber that veloster comertial were they avertise how the three doors stoped people from getting hit by forcing them to get out from the door that opens to the side walk
I totally remember that! Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Looks good... I'd like to test drive it .
You need to! It is a blast!
Went to 3 Dealer's to compare price
Honda type R $38,064
Veloster N $37,465
That's only $599.00 Difference.
This is Ontario CA.
Also noticed that Honda is willing lower the price compared to Hyundai.
That is crazy Daniel! Here in the USA there are dealers still marking the heck out of the Type Rs!
It sounds like the Hyundai dealership is marking up the Veloster N and I would not recommend buying into their markup. The MSRP of the Veloster N is $30k and they want to charge a $7k markup.
The Honda dealership is also marking up the CTR too because the MSRP of those cars are $36k for the 2019 models. 2019 CTR models reached dealerships around October to November of last year so that dealer might have been sitting on it for a while now and are willing to let it go for MSRP.
You live in one of the worse states for specialty cars like these. Those dealers over there are trying to get as much money as possible because they know what kind of car they have. You should've seen when the 2017 CTRs first came out. Dealers were marking them as far as $50k and people were buying them. One guy that wanted the Veloster N got fed up and bought one from Pennsylvania, flew to PA to sign paperwork, flew back to CA and had the car shipped back to CA. It sounds like a lot of work but he probably saved $3k doing all this compared to the what the dealers in CA were going to charge him. CA dealers is just a shitshow. Even I bought my Veloster N at MSRP of $30k and not a penny more.
@@PiroFyre
Thanks for the information,
But I might wait a till October and see,
If they lower the mark up.
I think they would like to move them
Thanks for sharing that info! I know here in Florida the Type Rs at many dealers are being marked up still but the Veloster N (s) are still at sticker.
Fingers crossed you can get one for the price you want! PS I looked so quickly and thought you were in Ontario Canada. Sorry about that! lol
Looks like a blast. Not sure if you should buy new, usually terrible resale value.
Especially on the front grill!
Ps.. do you remember me?
Of course I remember you! You had lots of Nissan questions! I appreciate you watching!
Omg! Thanks for remembering me! Thanks for answering all my questions I asked you!
Of course! I really appreciate your support!
it would be much better if there's more choices like performance package(alcantara interior, carbon exterior...) and some additional option on US(heated seats: what those empty buttons are for, leather seats...)
still very nice work for hyundai
Can you do a review on the 2019 Kia Telluride in the S trim? Am in the market for an SUV and this Telluride caught my eye but in the S specific trim
It's coming Lewis so stay tuned!
The old Veloster was so ugly but I got to admit they got this right , looks good , sounds good and looks like it’s a blast to drive
AGREED!
IDK why the things like the G-sensor dosen't record information, or at least hold it temporarily. As far as I could tell from my test drive, that information was only available in real time. Seems like a missed opportunity or overlooked element.
That is a great idea!
Late to the party, but I just bought one of these and the sales guy was saying the logs are in the info-tainment system.
2019 Hyundai Elantra ECO?
I understand Raiti, from here the front end remind me of the Ford Fiesta rs in Europe.
Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
Sweet ride love the exhaust
