Was wandering what you guys think about them or if anyone has any experiences with driving one.
I am looking at the 6speed turbo'd one. Really wanting to do a rally look to it.
And the prices are not bad. Under 20k for a low mileage, 2013 Turbo'd one.

This is the one I was looking at. Just looks like a really fun car. I checked one out at the local Dealer today, and I like the size and look. I can't wait to test drive one. The turbo'd version of the car has 201 hp. Which is not bad for the car only being like 2600 lbs.

Any thoughts?

You can do much better in the compact or hot-hatch segment.

I really like the style of the Veloster but if you're looking for performance, look elsewhere.

If looks is all you care about, buy it. It's pretty sharp looking, but don't go crazy modding it, it's just not worth it.



Also, MSRP for the highest trim is $22,600. You're better off buying a new one and talking down the price, in my opinion.

Actually, for the price, and purchasing a brand new car, it's probably the fastest, as a base Civic SI starts MSRP a tiny bit more.

Still, it's not a performance car.

Don't comment if you're Goin to be a troll. I want honest imput. I am not looking for performance. Honestly I am looking for something that is compact, spent of room via hatch. And not a Honda. I will do a couple of things to it. But it is going to be for reliability for me and my fiance.
