About the infotainment... I had a similar annoying lag on my 2018 Santa Fe. Since my phone doesn't have Android Auto / Apple Carplay, I turned those options off in the infotainment settings and it fixed the lag right away!

im gonna go a different route and say id buy the 2.0 base automatic model because hey money, who even has that am i right ? haha. no but in all seriousness i only test drove the base automatic and it was great to drive. i refuse to drive the turbo because i know itll be even more great to drive but $$$ too pricey brand new. no point in tempting myself
I might trade in my 2015 civic si for this. I had a 2023 base veloster as my first car which I traded in for my Si, but I miss my veloster. This new one looks so much better!
I own a 2014 Veloster Turbo, and for looks I have to say I love the old style front end more but much much rather the new style's back end. Side profile of the old one also takes it for me. Everything else though is better on the newer ones, so great improvements from Hyundai!
Very cool! I can't believe I'm saying this, but this Veloster is really growing on me. A Hyundai! Wow, and I've even had a 13 Focus ST for four years now
I would like to give Hyundai credit, this is an outstanding looking car. It so refreshing to see an interesting design for a change. There is no vehicle to which you would mistake this as. Good job. Btw. I think that they dropped the ball on their latest GT (Elantra/i30) design - when compared last Gen GT. Great job on the video Guys. Thanks.
Hyundai does build nice cars these days, however changing the original Veloster to look more like a Honda Civic was a joke. Why copy a dying breed. Honda is spending more time suing companies for coping their lawnmower engines instead of building better cars!! Why copy that...
@@dren8541 unoriginal? If you're are talking because it looks like an audi that's because the previous designer of audi left and designed most of hyundais new cars. Congratulations you played yourself...
I have owned a Veloster Premium 2.0 now for a couple months and love it. I am the young at heart who owned a Toyota Supra in the 1990s before my kids. After I had kids, I needed to trade in my Supra for a family car. Now my kids are older and no longer need the larger family car and bought the Veloster Premium. Since I live in Chicago and not expected to every use the Veloster on any tracks racing, so I have fun in city driving with the non-turbo naturally aspirated engine with no turbo lags moving forward. The sport mode gives some nice power including low at lower rpm. I have to admit in the 90's I raced Chicago Bulls Micheal Jordan on a street in Chicago before his first NBA Championship with my Toyota Supra against his Lamborghini at a stop light. I can still remember Micheal's smile back at me when he raced past me. If you are not using the Veloster on a track or live where you need more all season tires the 2.0 non-turbo should be considered. The Premium also includes more options than the R-Spec for about the same price as the R-Spec. I agree the Veloster is must fun for the dollar whether it is the N, turbo or the 2.0.
@R X I like it. The panoramic moonroof width size is nearly the width of the entire roof. The power moonroof has both tilt and full open options. With current rebates and dealer discounts, you are getting a great deal on the Veloster. The 5 year bumper to bumper warranty and 10 year powertrain warranty is awesome. Not sure, I could have found another car this fun to drive with all the standard options near the price I paid for my Veloster Premium.
Yes yes yes a million times yes on the USB ports at the mirror or in the map light. Also the mirror in this car looks like it could benefit from actually being a screen and camera like in the Cadillac CT6.
Congrats on 200k subs guys! Glad to see the channel sending it up to a bigger, much deserved fan base. With respect to the song choice for testing the sound system and bass capability I would vote: “ No Church in the Wild” by Kanye, not because I like his music ( I don’t) but because whenever I read reviews for headphones, editors seem to use that song a lot because of its extremely deep bass track, the mix of male vocals for midrange test and some of the higher tone electronic tracks to test the high range treble 👍🏻
We can explain the likely culprit behind the flying visors. The common link is that Yuri and I both used our right hands when visors flew off. Apparently when a visor is difficult to detach from its clip we instinctively use our dominant hand to slide the visor thinking that it will also be difficult
Civic Si has similar power, I wonder how it would compare. I'm not too sure whether the Veloster and Elantra Sport could be considered competitors (against each other) given that they're both Hyundais.
i came to this channel to learn about cars for work and this is the best channel on you tube you guys are awesome. The chemistry is there with the knowledge man keep it up!
Hahaha I commented about the visor test pass on the last video and you responded saying... Wait till the next video. And I thought, how crazy could visors be? Now I know!
As a driver of a 2017 Hyundai Veloster Turbo I am very excited for the new 2019 version. One if the big things that I hoped they would imrpove was how stiff the "shocks" are, even small bumps aren't really absorbed. It sounds like that's one of the things that they worked on, so I'm sure that I won't be dissappointed.
The chrome adds 10 horsepower to each razor blade wheel. Bargain of the century indeed! All jokes aside pretty cool that Hyundai cares about the car and made great updates to it. Great review! :)
You guys should do a comparison video with this, the Ford Focus ST, Civic Si, Golf GTI, and other hot hatches in the segment. Great content, love the channel!
Great review guys! I absolutely love my 16' Elantra GT, really wish they'd bring the GT's "N" equivalent to the states. The Veloster looks stupid fun for people who don't have friends to ride in back!...
Great review, nice car- I also like that you guys are not afraid to list what you DON'T like. I can't wait to drive one, as I have been in a few of the 1st gen and imo the turbo is a great engine.
You guys are awesome, thanks for this review! Been watching you guys since your AndroidAuto v AppleCarplay video. Cool exotic and expensive cars recently that I can't imagine owning, but I own a Kia Optima and I can't wait til you guys drive the newer models. Kia&Hyundai infotainment ftw.
Another great video. Thank you. The Elantra GT N-Line is likely my next car. I watched this in case I’m missing out on something cool, but comments at the end point me right back to the Elantra GT N-Line. Thanks!
J Collins definitely get the N Line. Symmetrical doors, more consistent style, and a more aggressive stock exhaust sound, and better looking interior. I known most of those points are just my opinion but overall i think The Elantra GT Sport/N Line is the better hatch to get.
It isn’t purely cosmetic. The suspension is stiffer. I was comparing it to the Veloster Turbo R in this video. The N-Line and Turbo R are very similar in spec except that the Turbo R has the LSD. I’m not autocrossing or racing, so the compromise tilts me toward the N-Line. I agree that the N-Line is not an N, but it also is not a standard GT with purely cosmetic changes.
I don't get the hate over the Reverse Ring on the shifter. When I shift I grab the ball (lol) and when I put it into reverse, palm up, lift the reverse ring between your middle and ring finger like you're holding a wine glass. It's classy okay
First car buyer here. Recently bought a 2016 Veloster Turbo for $14k with 18k miles. Its my first car ever, so I'm trying to be more practical and buy the 1st gen. Once the car is paid off and I saved up more. I'm gonna get the Veloster N if possible for my next upgrade!!!
I swear I've watched this video multiple times now. Only because I needed a new car as my daily car. So I recently Leased this car....But....The base trim because I can't afford the Turbo trims. But No Matter....it's 23 years newer than my first car. It being a red 1996 Toyota Paseo before. 93 HP with 100 lb-ft. torque lol. Straight from the Factory 2019 Veloster, with maybe 5 or 10 kms....transporting the car. StraightPipes...Thanks You for your Review videos of various cars. I look forward to seeing more! Keep Up with the "So Good" Videos!
Buy it in white. Fab in '90s Accord suspension with stiffer shocks and progressive springs. Replace the rear hatch with Lexan in the lower section so you can see out of the back. Replace the plastic fake vents with mesh. Remove all chrome. Remove all emblems. Install smaller lightweight wheels with good rubber that can be as flashy as you want 'em. Install a larger fuel pump, injectors, intercooler, piping, exhaust, and give it a tune. Buy a racing clutch to have in reserve. Run steel braided brake lines and upgraded pads. Lighten it as much as you can. Now you'd have a car that's almost as good as a $15k CRX build...
Genius idea with the USB mirror - I just installed a dashcam and it was a little bit of a pain to install the wiring Great review as always - keep them coming!
Chaser4Chubs🐻 i dont know if its better than the civic but i dont regret my purchase of that car the turbo sounds great the car design is really great everyone is watching its a great car for real and i prefer this one than the civic that everybody have
I bought a 2019 veloster turbo ultimate i test drove a 2020 honda civic sport hatchback. The veloster is more fun and has more power. The honda had a boring cvt transmission and you couldn’t hear the turbo at all. The honda is boring go with the HYUNDAI
I just bought a gt sport ultimate over this. My heart wanted the Veloster but my brain knew the gt sport was the better package and price. Ps lil Wayne - a milli. Or a good Gambino song like bonfire.
That dashcam comment. Bro you are next level. It was the first mod i bought for my kia soul base. Rearview that had a usb built in for the dashcam that was part of the whole unit. You know that would be like 3 to 600 $ option from the car companies perspective...
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for this awesome review. I was very disappointed with my options while car shopping and test driving lately. I had 3 different cars in mind: corolla hatchback (too long of a wait), kia soul (too costly for a smaller car with a lot of options and no spare tire) Toyota C-HR (totally underpowered). But I watched this review on Tuesday night, woke up yesterday and took a quick test drive, and a few hours later I drove out with a 2019 fully loaded white and black 2 tone Ultimate Turbo with the white leather interior. I really wanted a manual 2 tone red and black like you guys tested, but I didn't want to wait 4 months for a new car to be ordered. The paddle shifters are cool and the car has lots of power. The black rims were not an option on the Ultimate trim package here in St Louis. I would've had to step down a trim, which wasn't an option for me. So far all is great though!! Next week the dealer is putting tint on it, which is gonna look dope with the black top. I haven't ripped the visor off yet so that's a plus. 😂
This is America would be great to test sound systems! You guys are awesome! I was at the G70 Launch in Quebec (as a Genesis agency) we were all stoked to know you guys were there.
The visor test is essential. No lie, I actually broke a visor on a Nissan test driving it. For some reason it was installed backwards so it couldn't swing sideways.
Great review as always! I love the looks, but hate the three door thing. I don't understand why a company would produce a sporty-ish car, but they're afraid to just make it a two door???
You guys are really funny and fresh. But some constructive bits....Time to tweak the format, getting a bit predictable. But you guys are really good. An honest opinion!
TheStraightPipes ... well you guys are the guru.. if I may ... you could add some offroading, episodes on used cars, comparos, Class shoot outs... heck if budget and schedule permits... something like topgear or motortrend... but you guys have my respect!! Salute to your hard work... and your willingness to listen to your fans..👍🏻
What Yuri said about the USB up top for a dash cam would be soooo amazing to have happen. Hyundai listened to him on the tail lights, so lets see what happens!
Great review gentlemen! IMHO for $30,000 ++ I would consider Mazda GT at $25k, Honda Civic Si at $29K, VW Golf GTI AT $30,500..... I wouldn't consider the Veloster as an option or in the same category.
First point: "The ugly wheels" is spot-on. Directional rim spokes cut forward on one side of the car, and backwards on the other side. Until the manufacturers let you have left- and right-side directional rim Symmetry always looks better in the rims. Second point: Repeat of the GTI visor test was just as amusing to see as the first one, especially Yuri's reaction.
That's awesome. Wish more manufacturers did that. So far, your Lexus is the only one I've heard of that has that. Of course, I bet they'd want to charge an arm, a leg, and several major organs to get it. For now, I'll go with the symmetrical spokes on my Focus ST's stock Rado Grey rims.
My biggest complaint about the new car...is they got rid of the beautiful blue that the 2013 model had (ie. that's the color of mine and I love it!). You guys had a blue one but it's not on the website :-(
I'm in the US. Maybe that is the difference. That's SO disappointing! I love my car and I get comments on the color all the time. I wouldn't want it in any other color.
Here in Korea, they also have heated steering wheel and ventilated seats on the top model. Also, the base model here gets a 1.4 turbo rather than the regular 2L. Cool little car!
Dwight Booker Would this car be good for a first time buyer and newbie driver? I like the bizarre three doors but it looks like a sport car which may not be fitting for my driving skills. If it isn’t, which car would you recommend?
elletangere in my research at that price point you’re not going to find a much better collection of technology, Safety, and performance. It really all depends. What is your price point? What’s most important for you? For me it was large sunroof, premium radio, and technology in something fun to drive and unique. The Veloster covered all that for me. This would be a perfect newbie car or first car as it’s not insane power and you can get the premium 2.0 or the R Spec for a steal if you look hard enough. I ended up with the Turbo Ultimate as I wanted everything. If you have the extra money and performance is top on your list look at the VW Golf GTI or a Honda Civic which gives you the upside of four doors. The only complaint I have about my Ultimate Turbo is that it needs a short shifter to be a more fun driving experience. Given all that I would start with your price point then what’s most important. I’ve had both the GTI and Veloster and the GTI was a lot better performance wise.
elletangere also I wouldn’t classify this as a sports car at all. It’s a hot hatch. I didn’t like the looks of the Elantra GT or the tiny little sunroof on the Elantra Sport. If you’re sticking with just Hyundai and want something sporty with 4 doors take a look at the Elantra Sport as well
Dwight Booker I just want a base car I can use for work and maybe some Uber as well. Not too crazy about speed or any feature. Just want something I can play music on through bluetooth and good design. Budget is 25K(max) of a car loan, within 20K is much preferred though. Trying to stay within Kia, Hyundai, Toyota and Honda while leaning more towards Kia/Hyundai because I like their designs compared to the others within the price range. Looked up the base Veloster online; it says it’s under 20K but the dealership here don’t offer it. Maybe not yet. Not too sure. Other cars within price range, doesn’t look interesting as the veloster
Ahhh, you came to Peterborough. If you film around here again, use River Road, going north out of Peterborough towards Lakefield. It has good corners and it's feet away from the river for most of the road. Very scenic.
@2:26 in this location is where some car manufacturers are putting LED strip fog lights and I noticed this car has no fog lights. Perhaps it is a styling cue to hint at where fog lights would or could possibly be if so specc'd.
7:48 You can get an adapter for your dashcam or electronics to tap into 5V power going to the mirror. That's how I have my radar detector on my Elantra.
My Parents had a red 2013 Veloster Turbo for around year and they loved it, but it ended up being too small for them so they traded it for an orange Santa Fe Turbo. The lease on my Elantra Limited is up in October and I’m definitely going to look at the Veloster Turbo and The Kona.
Jakob, and yuri, not sure who responds but would you say it feels like hydraulic steering from a old BMW in sport mode. Btw, play the song "what is love"
I do like that new Veloster, looks great, good specs, we're living in a new hot hatch age.
FlyinGato right where people like to call the Honda Civic type-R a “lawnmower”
It's a warm hatch

Buy it in white. Fab in '90s Accord suspension with stiffer shocks and progressive springs. Replace the rear hatch with Lexan in the lower section so you can see out of the back. Replace the plastic fake vents with mesh. Remove all chrome. Remove all emblems. Install smaller lightweight wheels with good rubber that can be as flashy as you want 'em. Install a larger fuel pump, injectors, intercooler, piping, exhaust, and give it a tune. Buy a racing clutch to have in reserve. Run steel braided brake lines and upgraded pads. Lighten it as much as you can.
Now you'd have a car that's almost as good as a $15k CRX build...
Pick a song thats actually good, so that you can actually hear the quality of the sound
Genius idea with the USB mirror - I just installed a dashcam and it was a little bit of a pain to install the wiring
Great review as always - keep them coming!
Best car review channel!

I bought a veloster turbo 2019 and it very looks great! It has power and the car is better than the last model
Ace GiLf3atEr is it better than the Civic ? Because idk if I want this or the Honda Civic ?
Chaser4Chubs🐻 i dont know if its better than the civic but i dont regret my purchase of that car the turbo sounds great the car design is really great everyone is watching its a great car for real and i prefer this one than the civic that everybody have
But I like the techs better in this car than the Civic lol Civic doesn't have heated seats or wireless charging or safety features
But I just want the premium tho
I bought a 2019 veloster turbo ultimate i test drove a 2020 honda civic sport hatchback. The veloster is more fun and has more power. The honda had a boring cvt transmission and you couldn’t hear the turbo at all. The honda is boring go with the HYUNDAI
I just bought a gt sport ultimate over this. My heart wanted the Veloster but my brain knew the gt sport was the better package and price. Ps lil Wayne - a milli. Or a good Gambino song like bonfire.
That dashcam comment. Bro you are next level.
It was the first mod i bought for my kia soul base. Rearview that had a usb built in for the dashcam that was part of the whole unit.
You know that would be like 3 to 600 $ option from the car companies perspective...
You guys do great entertaining reviews 👍🏻
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for this awesome review. I was very disappointed with my options while car shopping and test driving lately. I had 3 different cars in mind: corolla hatchback (too long of a wait), kia soul (too costly for a smaller car with a lot of options and no spare tire) Toyota C-HR (totally underpowered). But I watched this review on Tuesday night, woke up yesterday and took a quick test drive, and a few hours later I drove out with a 2019 fully loaded white and black 2 tone Ultimate Turbo with the white leather interior. I really wanted a manual 2 tone red and black like you guys tested, but I didn't want to wait 4 months for a new car to be ordered. The paddle shifters are cool and the car has lots of power. The black rims were not an option on the Ultimate trim package here in St Louis. I would've had to step down a trim, which wasn't an option for me. So far all is great though!! Next week the dealer is putting tint on it, which is gonna look dope with the black top. I haven't ripped the visor off yet so that's a plus. 😂
LOL THAT SUNVISOR FLEEEWWW
Waking up to a Straight Pipes review ... Greatest breakfast combo 😂
This has been bugging me: How do you guys capture the outside rolling shots? Is there a third straight piper?!
Secret gigantic film crew
If you look closely there's only one person in the car. I think Yuri films in his Honda Element.
This is America would be great to test sound systems! You guys are awesome! I was at the G70 Launch in Quebec (as a Genesis agency) we were all stoked to know you guys were there.
Awesome
Good Morning from Ontario 🇨🇦
The visor test is essential. No lie, I actually broke a visor on a Nissan test driving it. For some reason it was installed backwards so it couldn't swing sideways.
Great review as always!
I love the looks, but hate the three door thing. I don't understand why a company would produce a sporty-ish car, but they're afraid to just make it a two door???
Can’t be mad at a company for trying something cool.
The slow-mo visor test replay was priceless.
Still loving my elantra-sport thanks to you guys :)
I have gotten to drive this Turbo Veloster. and it is a nice car. The sound, just revving it to move it around even, sounds good.
You guys are really funny and fresh. But some constructive bits....Time to tweak the format, getting a bit predictable. But you guys are really good. An honest opinion!
What should we tweak
TheStraightPipes ... well you guys are the guru.. if I may ... you could add some offroading, episodes on used cars, comparos, Class shoot outs... heck if budget and schedule permits... something like topgear or motortrend... but you guys have my respect!! Salute to your hard work... and your willingness to listen to your fans..👍🏻
"budget" = zero
Then you guys are doing really great... !! 👍🏻✌🏻 to both of you.
gaurav hazarika They have done all of that...look through their vids bro...
What Yuri said about the USB up top for a dash cam would be soooo amazing to have happen. Hyundai listened to him on the tail lights, so lets see what happens!
Great review gentlemen! IMHO for $30,000 ++ I would consider Mazda GT at $25k, Honda Civic Si at $29K, VW Golf GTI AT $30,500..... I wouldn't consider the Veloster as an option or in the same category.
I'd go with the HOnda Civic SI
Also Subaru WRX and even the Fiat Arbat!
Also the Elantra Sport, which is considerably cheaper and has the same engine.
Yep anything over 20k for a Hyundai, Kia or any Korean car is crazy.
First point: "The ugly wheels" is spot-on. Directional rim spokes cut forward on one side of the car, and backwards on the other side. Until the manufacturers let you have left- and right-side directional rim Symmetry always looks better in the rims.
Second point: Repeat of the GTI visor test was just as amusing to see as the first one, especially Yuri's reaction.
My ISF has directional wheels that are stamped individually. Every wheel has an exact corner. So they're the same direction on both sides 😁
That's awesome. Wish more manufacturers did that. So far, your Lexus is the only one I've heard of that has that. Of course, I bet they'd want to charge an arm, a leg, and several major organs to get it. For now, I'll go with the symmetrical spokes on my Focus ST's stock Rado Grey rims.
4:59 Visor test
Stuck between this and a last-gen Tacoma for a new vehicle, as both are practical enough for my needs plus plenty fun when the time comes.
My biggest complaint about the new car...is they got rid of the beautiful blue that the 2013 model had (ie. that's the color of mine and I love it!). You guys had a blue one but it's not on the website :-(
Canada?
I'm in the US. Maybe that is the difference. That's SO disappointing! I love my car and I get comments on the color all the time. I wouldn't want it in any other color.
Here in Korea, they also have heated steering wheel and ventilated seats on the top model. Also, the base model here gets a 1.4 turbo rather than the regular 2L. Cool little car!
I'm having a hard time deciding which car I like the most. The Veloster turbo or the Elantra GT Sport. Both have their pros and cons but great videos.
Johnny Nguyen go Veloster. Lighter better wheels and cooler lol
Dwight Booker Would this car be good for a first time buyer and newbie driver? I like the bizarre three doors but it looks like a sport car which may not be fitting for my driving skills.
If it isn’t, which car would you recommend?
elletangere in my research at that price point you’re not going to find a much better collection of technology, Safety, and performance. It really all depends. What is your price point? What’s most important for you? For me it was large sunroof, premium radio, and technology in something fun to drive and unique. The Veloster covered all that for me. This would be a perfect newbie car or first car as it’s not insane power and you can get the premium 2.0 or the R Spec for a steal if you look hard enough. I ended up with the Turbo Ultimate as I wanted everything. If you have the extra money and performance is top on your list look at the VW Golf GTI or a Honda Civic which gives you the upside of four doors. The only complaint I have about my Ultimate Turbo is that it needs a short shifter to be a more fun driving experience. Given all that I would start with your price point then what’s most important. I’ve had both the GTI and Veloster and the GTI was a lot better performance wise.
elletangere also I wouldn’t classify this as a sports car at all. It’s a hot hatch. I didn’t like the looks of the Elantra GT or the tiny little sunroof on the Elantra Sport. If you’re sticking with just Hyundai and want something sporty with 4 doors take a look at the Elantra Sport as well
Dwight Booker I just want a base car I can use for work and maybe some Uber as well. Not too crazy about speed or any feature. Just want something I can play music on through bluetooth and good design. Budget is 25K(max) of a car loan, within 20K is much preferred though. Trying to stay within Kia, Hyundai, Toyota and Honda while leaning more towards Kia/Hyundai because I like their designs compared to the others within the price range.
Looked up the base Veloster online; it says it’s under 20K but the dealership here don’t offer it. Maybe not yet. Not too sure. Other cars within price range, doesn’t look interesting as the veloster
I am exactly six foot one and a half, so I appreciate the headroom commentary
Team Taylor. What are those green lights at the bottom of the screen at 2:27? Is that a reflection of the headlights?
Just from the camera and filters. Oops
Wow!! You have great eyes. High-performance eyes !! Awesome!!
Ahhh, you came to Peterborough. If you film around here again, use River Road, going north out of Peterborough towards Lakefield. It has good corners and it's feet away from the river for most of the road. Very scenic.
The proper song to test a car stereo is Peter Gabriels Sledgehammer. Try it!
Awesome song from an awesome album. That album has excellent production quality too.
Speakerboxxx Intro is hands down the best song for testing sound systems. No debate!
Re: song choice...neither
kelvin kielley I’m taking that as a +1 for Taylor Swift
Yuri Tereshyn not for a second
Lol if i chose taylor swift over childish i would have myself drawn and quartered
Darude Sandstorm
What’s wrong with either? Is it one is TSwift and the other is protesting guns and racism?
In Mexico, we used to call it "Lentoster"... Such a great job guys.
The Hyundai Veloster Turbo is what the Mazda Mazda3 Hatchback should have been.
@2:26 in this location is where some car manufacturers are putting LED strip fog lights and I noticed this car has no fog lights. Perhaps it is a styling cue to hint at where fog lights would or could possibly be if so specc'd.
I had to pause to make sure I got my vote in. Please don’t play Taylor Swift’ in your videos. Childish Gambino would be so much better!
We won't play any of them in our videos because of copyright. We'll just use them to test off camera
or some Miley
7:48 You can get an adapter for your dashcam or electronics to tap into 5V power going to the mirror. That's how I have my radar detector on my Elantra.
The running lights kinda triggered my OCD 🤨🤨🤨🤨
Nuhan Hidayat the back door only being on one side triggered mine
My Parents had a red 2013 Veloster Turbo for around year and they loved it, but it ended up being too small for them so they traded it for an orange Santa Fe Turbo. The lease on my Elantra Limited is up in October and I’m definitely going to look at the Veloster Turbo and The Kona.
Jakob, and yuri, not sure who responds but would you say it feels like hydraulic steering from a old BMW in sport mode. Btw, play the song "what is love"
What is love from dance mix 95
I bought the turbo ultimate DCT 2 weeks ago, and have no regrets.
You guys are my favorite car show PLEASE KEEP LICKING STAMPS AND SENDDDDING IT
Forgot to mention that the fully loaded turbo and non turbo finally come with spare tires!
My vote... what is love? Yuri don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more.
you're showing your age.
Rewatched the visor part 3 times funny as heck. Good job as always on the review
Oooh, an affordable car. For a few videos there, I thought you guys were only focusing on expensive sports/super cars. ;)
It's summer. We're taking advantage. Looking forward to your complaints of no super cars in winter
Holy crap - rear view mirror USB port. That needs to happen in every new car.
So yeah, the song choice needs to be something with high production value. May I suggest Steely Dan, Daft Punk or Radiohead?
Steely Swift, Taylor Punk, Swifthead
Good point and good choices!
One of the best reviewers! Keep it up guys!
