2012 Hyundai Veloster - Quick Walkaround

A 2012 Hyundai Veloster just landed in the driveway at http://MPGomatic.com ... this is a super quick walkaround ... so quick I forgot to shoot the tail. Let me know what you want to see on this six-speed manual Veloster by posting a comment and I'll go deep.

Thanks! :)

Thanks for all the awesome feedback. Keep it coming! You guys have pulled together some great ideas. Now I need to see what I can make happen before it gets swapped out on Monday.

I'm on the road for most of the day today ... checking out a GSA Government Auto Auction. The auction house where I'm headed will auction over 6,000 cars today, with about fifty in the GSA auction. The cool thing about the GSA auctions is that the public is invited and allowed to bid - unlike most wholesale auctions.

Maybe I can tie my lawn tractor cart to it ... just don't make me back up! =)

For 5-doors it would be nice to have a piece called, "does my dog fit." How easy would it be for a lab or larger dog to get in, eg floor load height, etc. THANKS

@vothry That's an awesome idea, although the detailers might not like it. ;) My dogs are small terriers (one of them has made a guest appearance), but my neighbor has a lab ... lemme think about this for a while ...

I'd like to see how their dual clutch automatic stacks up against VW's DSG!

could you do a 0-60 mph?

This is a cool looking car. I really like your existing formula for reviews. I especially like the way that you avoid the "It's not quite on par with Honda or Toyota, but....." like virtually every other reviewer does. (I hate that). One thing that I'd like to see in car reviews is, how DIY friendly is it? IE: How accessible is the oil filter, battery, etc?

Motortrend refers to Hyundai as the new Honda.

Great job dan,

You should slow down to 40-45 then do a pass speed to 60-65 after doing your 0-60. That would be awesome!!!
