Here Are 3 Reasons Why The 2022 Hyundai Veloster N Is Still The Best Hot Hatch For Your Money 

There’s a used blue 2020 near me should I go for it or wait to get a new brz/gr86?

@@lethalpenguin61 in my honest opinion I would definitely go Veloster N. They are both great cars but the Veloster is on a whole other fun level. I had an 86 for a while and I was looking forward to the new GR86 and BRZ but to be honest I was disappointed. Yes they gave it more power but I was still wanting more. They should given it at least 250hp. The handling is fantastic as expected but I just wanted more power. The Veloster on the other hand is an amazing machine all around. Especially the new DCT. I’m currently waiting for my 2022 Veloster N DCT to arrive at the dealer. The N has a crazy sounding stock exhaust and there are so many different parameters to play around with as far as suspension, steering and power. To me it’s the best bang for your buck.

Manual or DCT?

@@301bruce Manuals are a blast to drive but the Veloster N is just better with the DCT. It’s faster than the manual and the DCT has the over-boost function. The shifts are really aggressive. Hyundai did an awesome job with it.

Is it too stiff even in normal mode?

As a fellow owner of one.....I totally get it.

Thank you! True about safety. I’m jealous that the 2019 and 2020 versions miss out on all of those features. Mine is a 2020

@@ShiftingLanes you got the important bits in yours though. ELSD and a fantastic powertrain. Your initial video of comparing the 20 to the 21+ helped me make my mind. Love the content.

@@boostedn1409 you think the gearbox is good? My fiesta st gearbox feels weird and I’m tempted to trade it for a used N that is close to me in performance blue!

@@lethalpenguin61 I owned a focus ST and I think the VN gearbox is in a different class. I really liked my FOST but the N does it better.

@@boostedn1409 thanks man maybe I’ll do the trade then!

Thank you so much for the support dude! This car is angry about something lol

You're gonna love the Elantra N then mah guy.

Would you say the suspension is bumpy?

@@ShuffleToExpresss Not necessarily, just incredibly firm. It's excellently tuned for handling, so it's not skittish; however, it doesn't have an "off" switch. Standard mode is firm, and N mode is racetrack harsh. If you lived in the South like me, it's not a huge deal. I imagine on more pockmarked northern roads, it might be a bit much. Hope that helps!

@@jax1079 would you go Civic Sport Touring for comfort, or N with fun but stiff ride? I ask, because I own a N and considering trading for Touring.

Thank you very much dude! Enjoy your N!!

I have the 16 on my channel

I'm strongly considering getting mine in 2 days, but i am trying to negotiate the price as low as i can to the dealer. How much did you pay msrp for your 2022 VN?

@@Fernando-zs5yr I ended up paying almost an extra $4k over MSRP back in November!

@@visualsofisa so cool that you responded cause i just got my 2022 VN today!! Got it for 35,200 EDIT:(not including) sales tax and all that

Thanks for watching!

Im sorry, but if i see a 40 yr old hauling kids i a GTI, im not thinking “look at that matura dude in that fun car”…it’s a ridiculous argument vw bois make, that i find hilarious. It comes up pretty often when they say “i didnt pick the civic type r because it looks immature, thats why i bought a kids hot hatch with awd called the golf r, so that ppl respect me at work”

I have a Mazda 3 and it’s great. Interior is amazing and drives very smooth. I’m actually looking at getting the Veloster N when my lease is up. Lol

You thinking of buying a Veloster N with 2 kids? Time to grow up dude. Mazda 3.

I’ve not driven the Mazda but like lots of folks have mentioned, the Vel N is a ton of fun but but rides rough rough rough

I drive my stinger, GTI or my Kona Ultimate when I don’t want to get beat up but none are as fun

Yes!! I can’t wait to test that one out. Will be even cheaper than the VN, and I’m thinking just as good.

It’s gonna shift on its own unless you put it in manual mode but it’s not really necessary as we know that we can’t out shift a computer.

I feel you. It took me 3 months to track down my 21 dct. Luckily markups weren't really hitting yet so I paid msrp. Easily my favorite car I've ever owned and I've had about 15-20 cars from a Geo metro to a challenger srt lol.

Dang man that's tough! I only found one dealer in a 400 miles radius that had the 2022 DCT and the price was a flat $40,000. Luckily I traded in a 2018 MX-5 RF GT and they were willing to work the price down. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have pulled the trigger. Market it's insane right now.

I highly doubt it will end anytime soon. It’s the first N car and I feel like they’ll continue it for a while. But who really knows…

Was told today this is the last year.

I would suggest looking very closely at the CV Axle Boots. It is not unusual for CV joints to start making noises when cold before it gets more noticeable over time.

We are getting it next week. Will have a review of that very soon.

I get around 26mpg on daily use. drive it faster, it will go down to like 16mpg. i have owned my vn 21 for a year and a few months now. good car. recently last week recently my high pressure fuel pump broke, so my car was at a hyundai tech place for a week waiting for the part but they installed in in a single day once it arrived. Car sounds and feels great again.

I feel you. Both are amazing cars

elantra n owner here, interior is nicer but the veloster N is generally inherently cooler.

@Justin S I agree. Decided to go with a G70 lol.

@@ritorevolto8309 how do you like it

@Justin S absolutely love it! Used to own a stinger so familiar power train haha

Dang man that's tough! I only found one dealer in a 400 miles radius that had the 2022 DCT and the price was a flat $40,000 for the auto which is even a higher MSRP. Luckily I traded in a 2018 MX-5 RF GT and they worked that price down. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have pulled the trigger.

It’s very standard. Totally fine for the normal person, but not luxury car grade stuff

I’m right there with you buddy! But I’m getting mine in manual!

Elantra N looks really nice. I’m hoping the Veloster N will get the same interior upgrades eventually.

This a completely reworked dct with oil cooled clutches, none of the major issues associated with the dry dct used in pretty much all other Hyundai's

Last 2 Veloster N cars I looked at had 5k and 6k mark up, I walked on them but some fools scooped them up.

I believe it’s on the same circuit as the dome lights

@@ShiftingLanes 😩

Golf R is all wheel

Is not the golf R around 10k more expensive than the Veloster N?

12-15k

It is because too many people want crossovers nowadays. Same reason why Toyota never imported the GR corolla to the U.S. market.

I went from a RWD turbo to a Veloster N. I was very hesitant as I love RWD since that is the proper setup for a car IMHO. The Veloster N does not feel like a typical FWD car. Must be the e-LSD. I was quick surprised....and bought it.

These cars don’t exist in the real world. They only exist on RU-vid channels!

Yes so as a lot the other ones bunch of bs

The veloster doesn't have them? The elantra N does....That's why I've been leaning towards hyundai instead of the new si.

@@raymondamoroso2049 no.. the kona n does also, but not the veloster n.

Canadian version has it
