Look at that lift over height. Practicality is not the VNs forte.

It's true. They could have just taken every single part that makes a VN a VN and stuck it onto a four door hatch and the result would have been no worse in performance and better in all ways practicality related.

Maybe they raised the price to make room for a cheaper Kona N

I can't imagine a kona being cheaper than the veloster.

Meh.. if FWD is okay I'd start with the TypeR and maybe do an exhaust for the tone and be done with it. No sense buying an inferior car and adding crap to make it better when there is a finished one available out of the box.

Yeah, for that price I'm definitely not going for that wonky door set up. I'm sure it's buckets of fun to drive, but for similar money, I'd rather have the CTR.

I'd still opt for the manual, but 1.2 seconds quicker in the 1/4 mile. Hot damn!

The MT Veloster N is $32,250. Type R is $37,895. $5645 is not an insignificant difference. The thing is that you can get the N at a lower price where the R is actually being sold at or above its list price.

CTR is a different class of car though. Paying for more stuff. If the CTR were a chopped up less functional coupe thing with more bracing and rigidity and less roof and glass, it would likely perform better.
In summary, I would take a Honda Veloster Type R please. |

Bye Bye N, a new heard of sports cars coming next year that give way more for same of less cost. Wouldn't you really rather have a Nissan 400Z or STI ?

STI is too big and a stupid sedan.
The Z only has two seats. So nope. Also rear facer seats. Ease of entry. Commanding view of the road. For good measured. |

Having said that, there are only 1 or 2 new Veloster N for sale in the entire state of Cali (might be zero by the time I post this). Hyundai has been keeping Veloster N inventory *extremely* low; way lower than CTR inventory. |

Both of those cars will be more expensive. Despite the rumors there's a good chance the 400Z comes in over $40k. Also we are in an era where a Hyundai is probably more desirable than a Nissan.

I'd wager you'll make up that difference on the backend in depreciation.
