Just to revive this thread I am going to go test drive one this weekend. The local dealer has one on the lot. Just something about it resonates with.

I've never driven a truly good FWD car. The best was an Integra LS, and I did manage to oversteer and even spin. I didn't enjoy that car at all.

Hot hatches are about making a practical car fun, so if that's what you need then go for it. Do yourself a favor and check the other brands though. I have not driven the new Veloster, but the last gen Veloster Turbo was pretty lame. I've autocrossed most of them and consider the Focus ST to be the best.

The N is on a completely different level. Most people put this as more fun to drive hatch vs the type R but the type R is the better performing car. For about 28k you get alot bang for your buck. Driven an ST 2016 and it was fun. As a daily my frs in it's current state can be a bit much for daily driving. Thinking of going back to stock exhaust to tame that down a bit. You kinda get beaten up a bit on long drives in this car. So we shall see.

Sounds like you need to drive more good FWD cars.

I thought the Focus ST was crap. As for the Fiats 500s, tons of fun, but they don't actually handle well.

Sat in a VelosterN.... The interior is so cheap I did not feel like test driving it, there was no way I would ever buy it.
The CTR interior is much nicer. The only thing I disliked was the plastic boomerangs at the center console and the plastic knee pad. You can replace the boomerangs with cloth ones, not sure about the knee pad. |

I did sit in a Veloster in 2013. I don't know how similar it is to the new model, but I barely had any headroom. No helmet room = no trackdays = me buy FRS.

I saw a Veloster N last night in person finally. It looks so slick in and is much smaller than I imagined. Really like the design and the rear wing.

Sounds like he needs to work on his driving. All Integras are excellent handling FWD cars, regardless of the variant.
