They may not be the best selling or most practical. But coupes form an equally important role - especially when it comes to fulfilling our motoring dreams.

Veloster, the model which you might gonna missed after they stop production `
Over the weekend, went to see the 2nd hand Veloster 1.6GDi 2012 model before head down to KMC to look at the new one. Went to test drive the car again, since i tested drive one when it was launched in Singapore before. Everything remains the same except that the steering setting mode is no longer available for the basic model, so are missing the silver chrome finishing and sun roof. From the outer look, it don't looks anymore sporty as it used to be as compared to the 2012 model. SE mentioned that Hyundai Korea had stop production for Right hand drive Veloster for both normal 1.6MPi and 1.6Turbo model. They only left with 2 silver for the 1.6MPi model but never mentioned about the turbo model since we aren't looking for one. Anyway, the red turbo one the color don't look fierce at all. Conclusion is the current model is not worth the price as compared to the older model. You might give it a missed for this round. Perhaps a newer model might be on the way if this model is still in production since the 5 years design cycle is due.

Stable and reliable! `
The car is smooth and stable. Back windscreen is well design like no frame! Rear seats 2+2 quite big! Pickup is sluggish but acceptable! Road noise bearable but air con is cool! Exterior design could better and more fierce! Steering is abit heavy but firm. Overall is good feeling but lack of sprinting feeling. Conti feeling is apparent but fuel efficiency could be improve! View area is fantastic and gave a panaromic feel!

interesting car to drive `
No problem getting into the Veloster in the back, although with minimal legroom. the 3rd door handle is placed at the C pillar to "hide" the handle from the viewers. I've to say this is a very interesting car to drive! Beautiful curves of the car makes it stand out from the other cars on the road.

Fun car to drive `
Prior to this car, I was driving a 2L Japanese SUV (A) and a 3L American Coupe (M). As such, it was an initial disappointment to be driving a 1.6L with a slack pick-up. Objectively, it will be an unfair comparison with my previous 2 cars and hence, I started exploring with the Sports Mode and rev the rpm to reach the max torque and the results was a smile on my face. This curvy car inevitably attracts the attention of many and the interior design and functions (electrical seat & lumbar, folding mirror, steering control, etc etc) are excellent for its class. In short, it's truly value for my money. The only gripe (probably 2) is that it doesn't have GPS functions in the 7" Head Unit. The 2nd gripe would be the lack of BT Phone function, which these are included in the Veloster on other continents.
