Ugh, why not the Turbo RR-Spec. Adding that additional R would give it 10 more HP. Btw, what's up with that wort on the left side of the dash?

Interior looks cheap and it's rather expensive for what it is.

I'm not sure why you'd pay similarish money for that crapbox when you could find something better performing. |

They only need to be at the table with this. Which they are. The rest will play itself out as far as sales and reliability and residuals. It's a shame Subaru doesn't play at this price point with a nimble 200hp hatchback. Subaru wanted so badly to separate the WRX from the Impreza yet can't make a proper Impreza Sport to compete with this crowd.

I don't see the point of comparing a Veloster to a BRZ. You buy a BRZ because it's RWD.
Otherwise you learn to tolerate a FWD sporty car because that is the only choice offered in one's price range. |

Gti throws down faster lap times than a wrx and cost less with more refinement.

Yet it wheelspins in real world especially in the wet all the time. I know cause I owned a MK7 GTI Autobahn before trading it in for the 19 WRX Limited last year. Haven't missed it once.

Never had a problem with mine. If you’re punching it in the rain in 1at gear while it’s wet, you’re kind of an idiot. Oh yeah, I also drove my through the snow and never had a single problem. It’s amazing what happens when you drive like a normal person on the street and have appropriate tires.

Anyway I've already said enough and neither cars on this thread have AWD.. it just sounded funny to me one would compare a Veloster to a BRZ, that's all. Comparing it to a Civic-SI coupe would be more appropriate. GL with your buying decisions. |

After having modded two Forester XTs back in the day, I’m all for putting a detuned tiny turbo engine into a vehicle that fails miserably to deal with it. A low boost 210hp FA20DIT from the dead Forester XT in an otherwise untouched Impreza Sport 5 door would hit all the right spots for a ton of people shopping this segment. I mean how awful was the bugeye when it first came out? It could go like stink but would fail miserably in driving dynamics like terminal understeer and braking. The new SG platform is better than the current WRX anyway.

Fully agree with you. Also, dusty, leafy, gravelly pavement. My MK7 GTI annoyed me constantly.

This Veloster certainly hits a niche, and I'm happier to see another tarted up fwd econo-hatchback than another sedan. |

I just picked up a space grey R-Spec tonight. I got a new IT job and will be doing a ton of driving for it, need a car that gets good gas milage but I like my cars sporty. I totally recommend the '16+ Civic SI if you can stand its looks. It's got an LSD, a moonroof, and dual zone climate control over the R-Spec, but it's $3k+ more expensive so I cheaped out and went with the better looking one. I don't regret it. It's so much more fun to drive.
