Got the Veloster N

She's a little beast !!! and yes, I paid WAY too much for this super rare car.

N is for Nürburgring the famous race course in Germany and is highlighted on the brake calipers and the N badges on the seats.

Like a Volkswagen GTI, but much faster and better handling.

I had a first gen veloster shortly and it was one of the worst manuals I've ever driven. The rev hang was so bad it made the yaris throttle response seem like a race car.

Sweet looking veloster. They have really come a long way with the styling.

Sounds pretty awful to make the Yaris throttle response feel anything resembling "race car".

Yeah, the car was not enjoyable to drive in any way. I sold it pretty quickly for a profit. I've heard these newer velosters are way better though. They certainly look much nicer than the one I had.

I will say the one I had (2013) had a very nice leather interior and sunroof, but I am a sucker for simple interiors personally.

So that's what the N stands for.

I really like the Veloster, ever since it came out 10 years ago.

They are asking about $42k CAD up here for it, so yeah, not exactly cheap.

Much appreciated

And congratulations, nice looking car. I wasn't so fond of the original look but it seems the design has evolved nicely. Enjoy.

Many car folks believe it's a better buy than the Civic Type R given cost vs. performance numbers. I hear it's an absolute riot to drive. Congrats and enjoy!
