Quite possibly the most fun car I've driven in a long time
The Hyundai Veloster N is everything I wanted it to be and more. It goes from mildly irritated but not scary house cat, to full blown angry tiger at the touch of a button. I can effortlessly switch from a car that begs to be revved and swung around corners, to eco mode where the car quietens down, the suspension becomes softer and the steering heavier to settle in for a longer commute to work. I bought the Performance Blue model and it is as loud both visually and audibly. There is nothing more satisfying that rolling into the gas station with racing mode engaged and seeing heads pop out from behind the pumps to see what just arrived. If you see a Blue Veloster on the highway you know exactly what it is. My husband has a 2006 manual 350z, and we also own a Tesla Model 3, and the Veloster N blows both of them out of the water.
I also like the styling. Hyundai stayed true to the original Veloster styling, but modernized it and made it more aggressive and eye catching. The same on the inside also. Another reason I chose the Performance blue is because the interior accent color is blue on all the N models. I wish the seatbelts and the accent color were blue for the Performance Blue models, and then red for the others. Seems a little odd to have blue seatbelts and blue interior accents on a red, white or black vehicle. But that is a small complaint seeing as I wanted the Performance Blue color anyway. Overall I recommend this car to anyone in the market for a hot hatch, Definitely worth learning to drive stick for. I learnt to drive stick as I was born and raised in the UK, but made the switch from my automatic that I bought when I moved to the USA, to the Veloster N and won't go back. This car is worth all the minor inconveniences that come with driving a stick shift. I love this car, and will not be selling it, even if I want something different.
