I just picked up the above Vitamin C coloured Hyundai Veloster Turbo 2014. This sleek and well-appointed three-door hatchback sports a 201hp powered by 1.6 Liter turbocharged four cylinder engine, a 6-speed Automatic with SHIFTRONIC Manual Shift Mode with Paddle Shifters. A brief test drive earlier today revelaled a sporty but restrained performance, responsive braking system and all the tech you'd need in a car of this class including a multi-functional 7-inch touchscreen that easily interfaces with smartphones, has built in SatNav and iPhone integration with voice recognition. Some of the features that caught my eye were the panoramic sunroof, firm heated leather seats, spaceship-like instrument cluster and proximity-enabled start button. I have the chance to test this car out for a week and hope to put it through its paces as my daily driver as well as enjoy what it has to offer. Stay tuned for my full review right here.
