Ok don't ridicule me too much -- but anyone ever consider / compare the F-type 2.0 to the Veloster N.

Initially, I found the 2019 Veloster N's to be a bit juvenile (most of which came in that baby blue) --> however, in 2020 they just launched this new color (colour) in Canada called Shooting Star - which is a matte grey. Check it out.

When I look at the specs of the Veloster N -- and yes, I over value a MT vs. automatic -- the Veloster N seems like good value for the money and it's getting some great reviews too.

Ok, now let the ridiculing begin .....

 

actually looking at an i30n fastback for the mrs atm

i was surprised how good a car it is, it's a far better car than the money suggests

as someone who has owned many M cars, to find out mr M has gone to work for hyundai, makes perfect sense after driving one

i jumped online and every review i can find is positive, there is not one negative bit of feedback at all

now getting to your post, i don't see this at all as an alternative to 2.0L f type - the veloster/i30 N is a hot hatch, it's to be cross shopped against civic type r, focus st, golf gti, principally because it's a fwd chassis of econo car origins - there are limitations to packaging that you just can't get around whereas f-type was built from ground up to be a rwd sports car

having said that, a veloster/i30 N will smash an f type on a race track or back road if you rank speed over feel

 

Subaru STI is a better car than Veloster and has much wider aftermarket support.

 

Sort of like comparing a Vegas showgirl (hot & fast) to Audrey Hepburn (glamorous beauty). Have to work harder for the latter, but we’ll worth the effort and will result in a longer relationship.

 

i'd probably go for the veloster, hyundai is also coming out with a car that will have supercar performance with pretty decent pricing, maybe buying this car will bump you in that list later on
