OK, I finally drove this car today. My co-worker actually turned his keys over to me for a thrill ride... Sounds freaky but, I actually liked it more than my FIT when it was stock. Would I be going out on a limb by selling my fit and picking up this as my friend did?
I really like the from the start take off power... Hum.. And BTW I was never a hyundai fan but it seems like they have made great strides from a while ago..

DONT DO IT VINNY! IT'S SHITE!!!

No really, It's not that good. From what my buddy told me it had trouble getting up interstate onramps.. What a drag. :-/

 

no customization! ahhhh what will you dooo! haha

 

Probably go batshit crazy and completely CF the whole car! Yes? Yes? I think so! :D

 

'J',you read minds so well that you should be getting payed for it...=)

 

It doesn't nearly have the utility of the Fit but it's a pretty cool looking car. The only Hyundai that interests me is the Genesis Coupe but the interior is pretty cheap looking. The Sonata turbo interested me but it's disappointing that it has 274hp and still can only do 0 to 60 in 6.5 secs which either tells me the gearing is off or they're being optimistic about the hp numbers. Also, there is speculation about Hyundai's MPG numbers but only time will tell. So far they're being innovative and due to all the problems Honda is having in Japan, they may surpass them.

 

In this case, it will probably keep the car together longer. :D :D :D

 

Whoa Vinny!!! Seriously, I think you're just running out of things to do with your Fit. Maybe you can just set up a CF shop for the FF's on the forum or local... to keep you busy... heheh...

On another note, the car looks sharp. There's a lot of residuals (1st impression) from the 1st gen Hyundais but I think they've recovered with the new gen. I have an '08 Elantra (my daughter's DD). No complaints. Not comparable to the Veloster for sure but good bang for the buck I think. Practical, good gas, comfy...

Sleep on it. Your decision bro!!!

Yep, good idea soob....think I'll be sleep'n on it til after Christmas too!

 

I was looking at the same car to trade the fit on it, but it is too small in person.

I have to haul alot of stuff and including people. Plus the aftermarket parts for the veloster can't compare to Honda.

It's nice if u like the look of a bubble :)

 

It's a very nice car. I like the styling a lot and the interior is comfortable.
I'd buy one if I don't already have my Fit.

 

they shouldve just put 2 doors on each side of the car. not sure wat they were thinking.

 

If I were you I'd wait for the turbo version.
