@mpgomatic How would you compare this car to the 2012 Kia Rio in terms of acceleration? I am led to believe they share the same engine... Thanks in advance dude! Im deciding between these two cars and it would be great to hear what you have to say :)

@ronnieseek I drove a manual Veloster and an automatic Rio ... and would give the nod to the Veloster with regard to acceleration and handling. Sure looks like the same engine. They're both solid cars for the money. I preferred the Veloster's larger Blue Link screen to the Rio's tiny Uvo display, but if you plan on carrying folks in the Veloster's back seat they better be relatively short.

Nice, but I'm waiting for the Cruze SS! ^_~

@asdfghjklsaab i only like the kind of fast ones , nd those are just the new 5.0l genesis and the turbo sonata and turbo veloster, i only like the performance ones haha.

@titogcubangonzalez See I don't think Asian cars (generally offer luxury). Also, look at Toyota's reliability over the past two years. After all those recalls, it's gone far down. But again, to each his own. If you like them, then be my guest to drive them, because there are some pretty cool Asian cars among the boring ones.

@titogcubangonzalez Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I was stating mine. If you like the car, that's cool with me. I just like something more refined.

[titogcubangonzalez]

@asdfghjklsaab o no asian cars are absuletly not the best car out there but for the money they are worth I think they offer enough luxury peroformance and reliabilty for their price! and haha cool man im not too mean either

[titogcubangonzalez]

@asdfghjklsaab u sound pretty entittlted to ur opinion! but thats not my issue

[asdfghjklsaab]

@titogcubangonzalez And look man, I'm not trying to be mean, I'm really not.  I just can't stand that people think Asian cars are the only good cars out there (I'm sure you don't, but I know a bunch of people who do). I really like the classy and crisp design of European cars. VW, while not luxury, per se, has some nice designs while being quite practical. Saab makes nice cars with sporty engines and good looks (IMO) for a great price. Audi (VW) also makes some truly nice cars.

@titogcubangonzalez Sharp design? Are you serious? The asians can't design a car for their freaking lives. Asian cars used to be great, think about the original Civic's design, or the NSX. Those were classic cars. But now, Asian cars are hideous attempts at creating an everyday car for the masses. This car isn't futuristic, not does it have sharp design in the slightest. 2 doors on 1 side, and 1 on the other? What is that? And fast to me is mid fives and under. 8 is unacceptable.

[titogcubangonzalez]

@asdfghjklsaab hey saab!!! listen man it is ur opinion to think that no one should buy this car but truth is a lot of people like it's futuristic look and sharp design, the turbo one is better.. and whats fast to you?? 0.1 secs 0-60mph????!!??

[asdfghjklsaab]

@titogcubangonzalez Low 8's? Try 9.0, that's what I got, MT got, C&D got, and a few other magazines. Low 8's is terrible, my friend's Chevy Malibu can do it in about 6 and it feels slow. In addition, this car hideous. Why anyone would buy it is beyond me.
