Thought I wanted it in silver, but kept seeing the blue and decided on a quick change. Tech package with the DCT for the price of the manual. This is a fun little car. Dropped a K&N in, and have a few small plans, but this one is gonna be all about being stock and pretty!

 

So did you trade in the Elantra or still have it?

 

Yeah. Elantra is gone. Got $3k from the dealer for it, so I jumped on it. Time for the next chapter

 

I like the color. I also like the fact that it is functioning. The accents on the wheels also look nice. And the quality of the new Hyundais are great. I'm just not thrilled, even through seeing many of these in person and on the road.



It's got all things going for it except for the exterior. The design isn't half as cool or popular as the decade-old Mini Cooper, which even has some chrome lining. At the very least, they could have made a Veloster Convertible (like its rivals-Beetle and Cooper) to spruce up the hype and add to the "fun" image it's supposed to radiate.

 

Didnt want the turbo model?

 

Nope. With a 60 mile daily commute, i'm in it for distance. The looks are a love it or hate it thing for this I think, and I love it. The turbo is looking like it's going to be a bit more costly then originally anticipated too, since demand is through the roof.

 

please drop it

 

Fixed.

 

^Fair enough. Need time for a shine and photo shoot though. It will happen sooner or later.....

 

Got some good vendors here that are now selling stuff for the Veloster. You know you wont be able to keep it stock for very long. Little things will turn to big things and before you know it...you'll have the modding bug all over again. Did you sell the Elantra as it, or did you take off the aftermarket parts and make it stock again?
