The BEST Hot Hatch Just Got Better // 2021 Veloster N DCT Review 

As an extremely happy and satisfied owner of a Kia Stinger I can say there is a huge amount of badge snobbery directed to Kia and Hyundai. A lot of people get very upset when they get smoked just "just a Kia bro". The brands have come a very long way in the last 10 years.

“It’s a hot weirdo and I like it.” We do too.

If someone messes with you using the seat holes, you can just set the ambient sound to rain and refuse to stop for a bathroom break.

I have seen a lot of reviews, almost all of them complaint about hard plastic on less luxurious cars. I really don't care about hard plastic, it's not like I'm going to touch the dashboard all the time.

Just got bought the N with DCT. Love it. Feels like a mini missile and a discount M performance car. Already in love.

Wow!!! Sarah's first 5 Penguin score!! Nice!!

Can not get enough of this channel, best reviews, fun and entertaining, excellent vlogs and insight in restoring down to earth cars. Just Brilliant, thanks from the UK

I really like the black and red look, and even more, the fact that this $35K car has a DCT. It's a cool car that's growing on me. And... the way you do your review and describe the "quirks and features" is fun. Enjoyable video!

Just the greatest auto channel 😊❤️ in fact, just the greatest channel, period! 👍

Sarah: “It does have vents on the front bumper, you can shove your WHOLE hand into.” Veloster: “Oh baby.”

Love your varied content Sarah. You always keep it fresh. Appreciate that.

Loved the review! Your humor and enthusiasm are quite refreshing. You just gained another subscriber! Awesome job Sarah!

If you're curious to know they're called Nixie tubes.

Great review! I love the idea of this car. I don’t love ht looks but, to me, the black is way better than the blue. I love that Hyundai is building stuff like this.

Your reviews are so much fun, this one was exceptional, thanks!

The former Head of Development at BMW works for Hyundai now. That’s why the veloster is a front wheel drive M car. That’s it pedigree. So awesome!

I'm waiting for the Elantra N sedan.

This week I traded my C6 Corvette for a blue Velo N 6-speed and I definitely think the move was a great one. The Veloster has so much to offer.

I have a cute Veloster for 10 years and absolutely happy with it. Your N looks very bold and very sporty. It is a head turner!

Impressive car this new Veloster N !! Thank you for the review Sarah !! (Also, I must point out that your enthusiastic, mechanic-with-a-manicure POV is very bold and refreshing :-)

First time in your channel. You did a great job reviewing this N. Thanks for sharing!!

Looks great,you look happy in this ,should be your next purchase, since you said that you would love to work on this.thanks Sarah you look great.

That was an amazing amount of information in one breath. Well done.

Absolutely love these , I'd want a 6 speed manual but really a awesome review as always

Sarah the mad scientist in her white coat, "I would like to do things to this"

I went to Hyundai/Genesis dealer & test drove Veloster N (6 speed manual) & it was fun car to drive. Love the bangs & pops also. That's when I spotted the Genesis G70. Wound up purchasing a G70 3.3T Sport RWD. These Korean cars have come along way.

You are a trip!! Don't know how I stumbled onto your reviews, but glad I did! Had a red Type R.... incredible machine. Ran autocross in it and tore up the track. Sold it after a couple years...... BEFORE I got caught speeding in it and went practical.... to a Dodge Ram Truck. Itching for performance again. Will check out the Veloster N. BTW your reviews are fun to watch! Great job.

I totally agree about the e-brake! Love your reviews! Merry Christmas.

Love this little hatchback! Nice review as always👍🏼

Watching your reviews are addictive.. your adorable.. and knowledgeable

Great review I really like all of your car / truck reviews I have watched both of your Tundra reviews and found them very helpful to because I will be buying a Tundra in the near future thanks and keep up the great work! Brian

Love your goofiness! Thanks for being so informative too!

Thanks to your review i bought a 2020 veloster N no regrets i love it 1year an 14k miles later no issues still feels great

5 Penguins is high praise. I think I like it more than the Type R too. I want one in green.

@Sarah your reviews are a so much fun! Love your review of the Veloster N. Great car for the money and is an aggressive contender in this space.

Yes, I love it as well! Colour is outstanding 💕

I just picked up a 2021 Veloster N couple days ago , it’s amazing

I've seen a lot of your reviews, but honestly? I think you should get one of these :) Not just because I have one, but because you seemed to have deeper feelings for this car :)

High scoring - loved the review and all the tech included in the vehicle.

youre most def right about hyundai knowing what people want. Theyre going to keep getting better.

I love the veloster N. Even though the DCT gets a few additional features and gimmicks, I would take th3 manual all day everyday.

" Oh you are going to get punched in the face " 🤣

Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!

Almost 300k Sarah! Love your reviews

That was a great review of a really fun car Sarah! I apologize in advance for all the inappropriate comments that will be made about sniffing hair through those seat holes. I would never do that…

Five penguins !!! I never thought I would see the day

Best review so far since watching them, I'm a fan

I own a 2019 in Chalk White with all the upgrades, in Canada we got one version and that being the top of the line. I drive this car hard and absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it. I changed the tires and had a brake job at 75k (45,000 miles). They are value packed, well built and anyone who ignores it as a vehicle choice due to their perceived image of the brand is missing out.

Nixie tubes. I'm old enough to remember.

Absolute Perfection and the car isn't bad either.

Was really enjoying this review. I think Hyundai have come a long way. Then suddenly at 8:23 you made that growl noise and gave me the ASMR tingles up my neck and spine lol. Combination car review and ASMR

Great review as always - I really enjoy that your reviews sound more honest and real than most others, which sounds like the reviewer is reading the same script over and over again. Little things like a common-sense statement that hard plastic interiors _make sense_ in a sports car. You also have the *_best_* rating system. :P If you were curious, those tube-number displays are called Nixie Tubes; very old tech from 1950s. Looked _super_ cool but used like 15x more power than LED, and lasted about 1/20th as long.

My wife loves her 2020 Veloster N with the manual, it's a great daily driver with some nice performance. I compare it to my Focus RS all the time on my channel.

I’d buy one for the front seats alone. Amazing!

Great job Sarah I love all your videos. I just ordered a t shirt, cup and sticker love you

Sarah...your channel is awesome. And...I purchased a 2022 silver Sonata N Line this past Saturday. Great car.

What gets 5 beans, a top fuel dragster? I can’t recall anything breaking into the 3’s, and you’ve driven some pretty fast rides.

I like it. Would upgrade the rims though. Owned a 2000 Elantra from brand new 200000 miles on it. Solid, well built.

Hey Sarah, Great review! I was Negative Nancy about your review of the Civic, but this one I rather like. Where the R seemed like a Civic with Boy Racer things added to it, the N seems like it was designed to be super sporty from the beginning. Job well done by you, and Hyundai!

I really love watching your reviews, every time I can’t wait to get out on the road and rip it

These little things do look really fun to drive.

Wait til the elantra N comes out, you need to review that! My next car lol

You absolutely Glow and appear to enjoy this Ride review. Thank you for the full send Bolster wiggle. Very nice.

This is by far the best car review channel on RU-vid your so funny sarah

Without a doubt one of the best cars Hyundai has ever produced, they’ve stepped up their game in recent years. I’ve tried to bait Volesters into racing but they never bite, I never see them race, at local car meets, shows, etc, so it’s easy to leave them out of any car conversation, or consider them part of the tuner scene. Just my opinion.

Badass little car. Hyundai just needs to do an N version when they bring out the Santa Cruz.

Great job Sarah, you are my favorite car tester. Many greets from Germany ❤️😊

Bad ass period, I love my 2020 veloster N performance package Awesome...thx great review...

I have the 2019. Manual shift. Love it!😍💘

So gorgeous! Love this car!!

Hey Sarah, random internet stranger here! Thanks to your video, I made the decision to buy the Veloster N (the penguins convinced me). Your genuine approach is awesome. Great channel and keep going with it!

Great review. Great car. I have the civic sport hatch which I love . This thing blows it away.

hot damn 5 penguins!!! looks like a blast to drive fam.

I like her way more than the car, and I ❤️ the car !

Great review as always!

Great review, Sarah.👍 Hyundai are doing the bizo at the moment. I have driven an i30N performance and was well impressed. The new i20N looks great too and comes standard with a Torsen lsd. It is even better value for money at £23k too.👍😎

Hyundai’s N series will put them on the map to be a icon in the sports car series.

I am totally picturing Sarah tieing someone's hair to the seats. 🤣🤣🤣

Always love the breaking test!

Own one absolutely love it. Great video.

I love hot weridos! We all need more hot weridos in our lives.

I have a manual pp dropped the resonator and added a spacer so far. This is the only 30k car you won’t see anywhere.

This review is funny as heck. This looks like a car that would be a joy to drive. Even the light up N on the seat back is fun. And todays costume is so 70s! Took me back to the days when everyone wore flares and those long sleeve T's.

Great Review! I love my Veloster N with the DCT transmission. Those cute things on the radio are called vacuum tubes.

Never noticed they had Lamborghini style tail lights.

Why am I barely discovering this channel? Now I have lots of catching up to do.

Amazing! Can’t wait for the Kona N with AWD. Most likely will trade in my current Kona Limited AWD

I love that back end, nice ride

"It's a hot weirdo... and I like it." lol I feel the same way about you, Sarah!

The mismatched B pillars would take sometime to get use to.

😄😄😄 you make me laugh!! Always a pleasure watching you on reviews. 🥰🥰👍👍👍👍💯

5 penguins!! That is a bold statement coming from you! And I agree it is a very nice car

Hey Sarah!! Just wanted you to know I designed my Skyrim character after you. Lol 😀👍

I'm just disappointed that she didn't say, "Oh geez" when she did the braking test. Lol

Great review and come on you have the EDIT down to an ART......truly enjoyable....why do I crave cookies ?

True, U R my FAVORITE abandoned warehouse Sarah.

Got my 2020 VN for $28,500 with performance pack. 2020 Type R are all marked up to $48k. The N is hands down the better car for the price, and with a couple mods can beat the Type R in a straight line as well and still be $17k cheaper

If Supercar Blondie and Aubrey Plaza mated (which would be cool) and they had a love child, you would end up with Sarah.

Sarah the Great! We kneel before you and all your glory! 😍☘️

Being a former owner of three GTI’s, I can honestly say the Veloster N is better. I have a 2020 base white manual and absolutely love it! GTI’s are only fun if they are tuned, but that voids the warranty. Keep up the great reviews Sarah!
