If everything goes as planned, I'm about a month away from being able to buy a new car. I'm pretty well set on a BRZ, but I can't pull the trigger on anything without doing my due diligence.
So I made a point of doing some comparison shopping. Several other candidates made it onto my radar, but once I began taking a good look at it, the Veloster N rocketed to the top of the list of runners-up. I asked my wife about it and showed her TheTopher's POV video of it. I wanted to take her pulse on it because if she had strong feelings about preferring the extra door and the increased cargo space I might have given it more thought. But she shut that right down, by reminding me that I'm going to be the only one using my car 99% of the time while she is stuck with the practical family car. So, no warm fuzzies from her on that.
I think the Veloster N packs a ton of value for the money. So many features that would make it a fun car to throw around every day. But when you boil it all down, there aren't enough things about it that are better than the FT86. For me, there are only a few: It's a tiny bit cheaper, it's got more power, and I like the light blue better than any of the Subaru colors. Still, those things aren't compelling enough to distract me from the BRZ!
