The veloster Turbo and the FR-S were really my two options when I bought. In the end, I guess the decision was made by Hyundai because they couldn't deliver the things to their dealers... but I would have chosen the FR-S anyway.

The Veloster is a nice place to sit and has plenty of features. I don't know if I'm just too old, but the thing has too many buttons and screens. The steering wheel looks more like a game controller than a simple turning control.

I had my reservations about the Veloster's suspension, but figured I could make it up with aftermarket parts. The aftermarket is incredibly light for the Veloster. Unless you're shopping for a strut tower brace, your options are incredibly limited.

Since it was obvious that I wasn't going to be able to get the suspension much better than stock, I decided to leave it. Stock suspension is competent, but certainly doesn't ask to be pushed any harder. Combine that with the Veloster's relatively tall height and all the weight of the glass roof up high and it really doesn't feel very dynamic.
