Spent some time in a Veloster today.
Car is fun to drive and the engine is fairly quiet for having to rev so much. The six speed dual clutch transmission is awesome and with no torque converter you don't have the annoying sponge like performance you normally see with an automatic. Back seats like the xD were kinda tight but OK for a smaller frame adults. 7 inch screen is standard along with two fuel economy coaching games and photo/video playback capability. Add this with the ability to sticker at 38-40 MPG highway I think Hyundai has a real winner on their hands. With cars like the Veloster, Ford Fiesta, redesigned Soul, and the new Chevrolet Sonic it is becoming harder and harder to take Scion seriously.

I would much rather have the XD than those listed cars, other than the Sonic, because I'm a Chevy man myself. |
If I heard correctly, the sonic is also turbocharged

Sonic = Aveo which is sit painted Gold. Gencoupe is still the clear winner in the hot coupe category. Yea, I've seen more Velosters in a week than I have tC2's the whole summer here. Scion has allowed itself to become as boring as a Camry. I need to roll some heads with them and get the iQ under the Toyota name, Bring back the bB, get the FT the tC2 engine with high compression ( not that lump of coal flat four).

and yea, the bB looked dope as hell, and I'm not even a fan of the body style of vehicles like that. |

if your a Chevy guy, then you don't want a Daewoo.....I mean Chevy Sonic. THe Corolla has become the economy Camry these days. I bet they would make a killing if they started to sell what they have in Japan here. Like the Wish or Crown Athelete. Just dump the still goofy Sienna for the Estima. I obvious people want something a little more cutting edge to look at. Korea is really pushing the design limit and stealing Mazda's thunder stealing their designs too.

I would. Haven't seen a Toyota come through the shop with less than 1,000 miles and a knock sensor that's failed twice, even after "repair" (New Veracruz, starting at ~$30,000). Granted I'm a mobile electronics installer, not a mechanic, but I get to see enough of these cars, inside and out to know they're still a joke. Based upon personal experience I wouldn't gamble with one just yet, but you can go ahead and let me know how it goes first :) |
