Hyundai Veloster

[Cluboxed]

Vw roc drivers have to understand sporty hatchback is not equalvalent to a sports car

Drive fast is your problem but jio people to race is a very childish behaviour...

 

nowadays they still jio? not scared halfway the gearbox give way ar?? lol

[Forrestcat]

Roc drivers definitely more agressive, mostly young upstarts.

Some even wanna "race" me . I usually cant be bothered.

Saw a red VT at Shell SK this morning. wonder is the owner from this forum?

[Throttle2]

Yupp...my sentiments exactly (not specifically directed to any make/model drivers) . I'd just ignore them and just let them have their 2 secs ego trip. I have nothing to prove to risk other's life and limb nor my licence(s).

 

Bottom line is enjoy your ride, no need to compare with others la. one man's meat is another's poison after all.

Lol... no la, vocs members are all a friendly bunch. i dun think we would mind making friends with other make/model drivers.

we even have a very respected committe member who is not driving a veloster. :)

 

in my humble opinion, veloster buyers bought it for the unique design and styling (interior and exterior) rather than the power . There are even some who didn't even do a test drive... booked the car after just 5 minutes of looking at the car in the showroom (although some may disagree about the looks but i dun think their opinion matters). ..and most are contented.

 

And yupp..we have nothing to prove by racing. (actually i dun even understand this childish anti-social behavior).

 

ps: if you happen to drive by during our meet-ups , feel free to approach us. we can never have enuff friends. :)

[Cluboxed]

can't agree more with you!

[Karnaugh]

My test drive was pretty comprehensive, being in media and knowing Jeff. It was a fair statement, no offense.

 

Depends on how you look at it. I am disappointed because the VT looks fierce, perhaps too fierce for its lacklustre performance, at stock.

On the flipside, its a complement because it does looks fierce isn't it?

 

I cannot pinpoint exactly what is disappointing because I am no motoring editor. I can only comment on the overall experience. My fault, I shouldn't compare it with my daily ride then, because it is a baseless comparison. Overtime, I had forgotten how my stock ride feels like.

 

Sure, we all know its no EVO nor STi - I'm not power hungry for one too. Could easily have afforded it, no big deal - if I was a petrolhead.

 

Anyway buddy, car ownership is a personal thing, you bought your ride, be happy about it - why would you wanna justify the purchase by saying *at this price it is a stella performer* blah blah blue.. no point right? Even with a roc, frankly stock to stock, a VT feels better.... no comparision to that.

 

I would be happy to try a modded VT... that would really put apples against apples

 

cheers

 

 

Don't mind me if I point out that your statements are contradictory. Isn't it the same as your ride slapping on the Type R badge with performance no where as near as its predecessors? And if you are not power hungry why go for performance mods such as cams? Please enlighten me because till now I cannot figure out what drivers like you are thinking in your mind.

Just buy after the 60days lah.

 

[Achewlim]

y i plan to get it within this 60days is mainly due to i just gotten my resale flat few months ago and wedding coming this july..don have much cash on hand..dont have a car now..so i thought it would be nice to use my own car for the wedding ..but anyway it is not super important..by the end of the year i should be able to save enough downpayment..so if really cannot get now..i dont mind to wait till end of this year too..lol..

 

btw any feedbacks from the owner??pros and cons?? im also considering forte koup..but i think veloster should do better since its much newer..and i actually like the more aggressive look of it..

New Forte Koup will be out before end of year. But to me the new Koup design not very nice. And V got benefit of one back door.

Dude, you've probably not driven a FN2R before, correct? As in longer term.

At stock, a FN's ecu settings is damn idiotic, that cannot be felt when you test drive it. Pick up sucks, car feels heavy and its just..arrrgh.

 

Along the way, I made friends with fellow FN drivers, I tried their cars and wanted more power for mine (that doesn't make me a power hungry petrolhead, just that I am not satisfied with its performance at stock). with a reflashed ecu comes the needs for hardware mods which gave me increased power of 60bhp and torque (can't rem how much).

 

I did not mention I don't mod my car, just that I'm not power hungry, cuz if I was, I would have swapped my engine long ago.

 

I hope you're enlightened now? Its pretty simple actually, don't confuse yourself too much, it could be stressful.

[Achewlim]

yup i saw the photos of the 2014 koup and i prefer the old one too..lol...im more likely to choose veloster ^^
