2021 Veloster
Now available with a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) for 2021 sweet !!!
With 275+ HP, I'm curious what they've done about severe Torque Steer inherent in FWD vehicles. I really need to test drive it, but the closest inventory is 2 states away. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/review...ster-n-review/ |

They are so much better looking than the first gen Veloster. I had one shortly, a 2013 non-turbo 6 spped and it was not at all fun to drive.
I can't say I'd be interested in the DCT, though but I do get the appeal and understand why they'd offer it to increase sales.

Its not a "sports car" if it doesn't have 3 pedals and I will die on this hill.
This is why manual transmissions are dying faster than most people realize, Giving in to the lowest common denominator of people.

Were you able to give it a test drive?

Aren't dual-clutch transmissions a recipe for reliability problems?
I'm thinking of trading my 2020 Corolla SE 6-MT sedan in for 2022-23 model year on a Mazda3 sedan, since I'm thinking of finally picking up my first-ever automatic vehicle & Mazda still uses a regular 6-speed automatic that should be refined to-death at this point. The sad thing is that my Corolla will only have about 10-15K miles on it then. I would still grab a TNGA Yaris hatch without any hesitation whatsoever if they released them in the U.S. - but I doubt that will ever happen.

I'm not even sure why I think like that. With one exception (keeping a 2000 Accord EX 5-MT sedan for 15 years while distracted with other life pursuits), I have never kept a car for longer than 2-4 years. I really blew through different ones in the 80's & 90's.

In two-pedal form, the Veloster N is now the quickest front-driver we've ever tested and one of the cheapest ways to gain access to the sub-five-second-to-60-mph club. |
