And they couldn’t have stretched the nose for a larger front trunk and made it look like a hot hatch in the process? I’m calling bull on that. They were going for a specific look, which some people like, but most don’t.

So either
A) Dealership is lying and it didn’t sell for six figures.

My confidence in bold claims is inversely proportional to the number of typos in the presentation.

My 2019 made just under 217 hp and 240 ft-lbs on a Dyno Dynamics dyno before the 125 mph speed limiter ruined the party. My mechanic who’s a pretty experienced VW tuner says it probably would’ve done 220 hp without the limiter.

Hmm. I have to say I don’t understand this complaint. Have you used the Veloster’s doors, or do you just hate the idea of it?

I’d argue that it adds to the charm of these cars by weeding out people with your mindset.

I have a 2014 Turbo myself. The third door is the best part. It’s incredibly convenient and from my side (the driver’s side), it still looks like a fun coupe instead of a four-door family car.

Fine, buy a beige-grey generic crossover.

Hard disagree. Being able to access the rear seat via door is fantastic, especially if you’re putting a human back there. Aesthetically I don’t find it unpleasant. And by giving it only 1 rear door, they have sacrificed as little extra weight and cost as necessary for that convenience. Refreshingly logical in a world…

But it is practical? I had a last generation Veloster Turbo. Having the 3rd door meant it was easy for people to get into the back seat when needed and I never had to move the driver seat. The sloping roof was more of a note impracticality than the 3rd door. The roof reduced headroom. 

I also thought the 3 door was weird until my daughter bought a 2014 Veloster. It really ends up working well. Big door for the driver to get in. Smaller doors for passenger and kids. I’m currently considering a Turbo model to replace my ancient C230. It’s a fun little car.

But you only spent $2900 on it. If you get a year out of it, it’s already playing with house money. 

this is kind off incredible how close you got the dialogue. Im genuinely amazed.  

THIS is a 1939 Porsche Type 64. It’s the Porsche before Porsches were Porsches, before the 356 and 911 were even a thought in anyone’s mind. In fact, it’s a Porsche from a time before Volkswagens were even Volkswagens. It is considered to be the very first Porsche, ever - and today I’m going to review it.

Good. 

This has a shot at being the least-shit collection of responses to “What Car Should You Buy?” in the history of this bit.

My question is how does he know it runs fine?

Mini in 7th place sounds like a patriotic purchase to me.

Mini’s not a British brand? I know they are owned by BMW, but the heritage is in England, and they are still built there.

I’m sure a 50 cent letter is going to convince them. Because that proves that you can and will buy a brand new car. No, the only thing that could convince them is if they lost a bunch of sales to Ford and Dodge and the take rate for manuals on Mustangs and Challengers jumped to well over 50%.
