Four Years with Brian's Veloster N
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ค. 2024
- It has been about four years since I began daily driving a Hyundai Veloster N. 2019 model year, no performance package, manual transmission, of course. No DCT was available at the time, but I am glad. This is an easy manual to work with, and the rest of the driving experience is have-it-your-way: go-kart when you want it, sensible and practical economy car when you need it. Here are my findings on life with the Veloster N - the good and the bad.

These are the kinds of videos ive been looking for, there are not alot of long term reliability reviews for this car
I'm so glad the interior is cheap and spartan. I'm tired of cars escalating in price, particularly lower end cars like hot hatches. Hot hatches are supposed to offer next level performance on a budget, nothing else.
FWIW plastic is easy to clean, I just use the same wet wipes that I clean my hands with and the interior looks close to brand new, believe it or not 😊😂
agreed. It’s nostalgic to the 90’s jdm legends. Plus if your not going to touch it, “cheap” plastic is weight savings.
@@BlitzMekanikaFwiw, also more money saved from luxury type interior to just dump under the hood, Albert Biermann from BMW probably had to work with a set price point from Hyundai🤔😏seats with light up logo on 2022 N model even seem like lighted BMW M seats tho🤔😏😊
Brian, I think it is critically important to establish, on the record, that you don't actually live under the Ambassador Bridge 😉😉😉
Well, only until the Gordie Howe bridge is done.
@@brianroskelly2177 Brian, What happened to the top-secret, high-security, mountaintop Michigan compound Alex promised you? I've checked and apparently there are a few smaller 'mountains' in the area. Please don't tell us Alex is too cheap. 😁
@@dforrest4503 😂
Always loved that car. I ended up getting an ND2 Miata… and a minivan because I have a family. Both the Veloster and the Miata have tons of personality.
That's a very solid two car garage. I love vans.
I’ve dealt with the parking lock you speak of. I was told at the dealership that it was an electrical parking brake that engages if the car sits for a couple days. It’s never been an issue for me but just makes a clunk noise before moving.
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 Great video!!
Great video Brian! I have a 2020 VN PP in white. One of the first things I upgraded were the tires. The P zeros it came with were scary in the wet. I live in southwest Florida and it rains a lot here. I now have Michelin PS 4S’s. I always have done my own oil changes and transmission fluid changes. At 56k I have needed to replace my brakes one time and my battery one time as well. I’ve modified my car to where is completely bolt on ( Intake, IC, HFDP, resonator delete mid pipe, BOV, OCC, bigger turbo inlet, and my JB4. So far so good. I love the extra power I’m making but of course I want more. Lol. As far as cosmetics, I’ve upgraded the rear spoiler to the Adro carbon fiber V2 wing. I love it. Well worth the price. I also have N mud flaps and I’ve upgraded my front and rear turning signals to full LED and my high beams to LED as well. I love my N and I enjoy riding it for short and long trips. I do have to agree that the interior is lack luster but for the price, I can’t complain. Anyways, thanks for video!
Just got a 2019 Veloster Turbo and I have absolutely loved it, such a fun quirky and loveable little car, and the only thing I wish I had with the N is the LSD and N mode, but it is such a fun little car that is perfect for my practicality needs
Enjoyed this. Always liked the look of the car & wondered abt the durability. Thanks for the review!
Ive had a 2016 VT for a few months now and its my only car. Car prices are high rn and life happened so i got it a little expensive, but i love it. 30mpg when i wanna drive economy but enough power on the roads that i travel that i dont need to even put the accelerater down all the way most of the time (i live/ commute on country backroads, twists and turns are where this thing shines.)
I had the 1st gen Veloster Turbo. While it was just a cool looking accent with a turbo, it was fun to drive on the highway and I actually was able to move into my college apartment with the car. I was even able to fit a full size foam mattress rolled up, and a drawer + all the other misc. crap. Amazing value, practical and fun.
Greetings from York, PA. Great Video! You eco my sentiments.
I have put 162,715 on my 2020 Veloster N PP. i truly live this vehicle! I have a Lap3 1.5 tuned CPU, an AFE intake and stiffened up the frame with rigid collars and a mid-brace, made it ride even better. I also put 18’s on it, they really helped with mitigating the damage from the Northern potholes. I drive everywhere in it all year.
Ride Safe!
Dang that's a lot of miles have you ever experienced anything due to the tune I'm wanting to get one but I don't know what does engine is limited to in terms of horsepower before you have to rebuild it for example in a Focus ST you can reliably run 400 horsepower on the stock internals I don't know how much it is on the Veloster which is why I'm asking
Brian, lots of luck in Michigan. Cold up there! Big change from Atlanta!
I love everything about my 2020 veloster n. The best part about the car is its lack of amenities. I have a great car that I bought for a great price because it doesn't have adaptive cruise, lane departure, or any other safety suite. I like to drive, and this car lets me do that. I wish more car companies would make affordable drivers cars, but there just aren't that many out there.
Honestly, everything keeping the Veloster N from being a 10/10 car are the same things that make it the best performing car for the price which almost makes it 10/10 in a roundabout way.
I considered the lack of amenities a positive. My wife has all that junk on her Genesis. This car is made for driving and paying attention to the road :)
The 2022 that I have has all of those amenities, but you can turn them off , no real reason too though
I had a gen 2 BRZ but needed something a bit larger. The VN has been the most fun I’ve had driving and I am sad that it’s retired. I hope I can hold onto it for a long time.
Great video Brian! I appreciate the long term insight on these! I’d love to see a follow-up video on how it weathered the Detroit winter (especially without the LSD).
I thought Ns come with LSD
He owns a Veloster N non-perfromance pack. The e-dif came with the performance pack for the early Veloster N's. I believe in '21 Hyundai shipped all N car's standard with the performance pack because of the high take rate.
For future reference, Hyundai OEM (original, in car) batteries are warranted for 3 years/36k miles. It should be replaced at no charge if it fails the test.
Welcome to Detroit. My Girlfriend has a Orange 19 Veloster Turbo. We both love it.
Welcome to Detroit Brian! Our roads await your ongoing reviews. Hope you’ll join our many C&C locations.
Welcome to my neck of the woods! Great video. Always wanted to know how this car held up after a couple years
2020 VN with PP and I've had every issue you've had. Clamped brakes, battery replaced and difficulty finding the rear wiper. Tires are expensive as well and don't last as long and I've had the 19"s paint peeling off.
For the clamped brakes, I've noticed that simply cleaning the wheels often from the brake dust helps mitigate clamping.
No other issues so far and perfect daily commuting car 👍
2020 VN with PP same issues except for the wiper blade. Hyundai will replace your wheels for free if they are peeling off
Great long term review! Now Hyundai/KIA just needs to give us proper Highway Driving Assist for these N and performance models-- because for many of us, this will be our only car/daily. For any of us in big cities or do lots of roadtrips/freeway driving--- HDA is amazing!
2 years with my N:
Bought a "track car"; wouldnt expect a luxury interior. Interior is not bad at all. Yes it has plastic but it's sub 35k new.
Parking Brake: Yes if the car sits it will lock up a bit. Roll back in reverse to break them free.
The doors always throw people off lol
Bought this car as my First and Last New Car and it has been great! First import car as well.
Maintenance is cheap. Idk what people are talking about. Yes, if you go to the dealer outside of your maintenance cycle it will be more expensive.
Have about 12K miles on my 22 VN 6MT
If you swap your wheels or tires BSD no longer functions correctly fyi
Car flies under the radar unless you get the Blue one
Love closing the exhaust while passing cops.
Cops and insurance companies have no idea what it is either. Like they will question the model (at least they did for me when I got mine)
Car enthusiasts ignore the car when in the wild. Random soccer moms and middle age women love asking me about it..... they say it's cute lol
Alex, great video! I watched your VN reviews a few years ago. I also have a black 2020 VN manual, no performance package, and I run Michellin Pilot all-weather in winter, and Pilots Super Sports in the summer. After almost 50k, I haven't had to replace the brakes, but they stick on moist days and that's annoying. As a daily drive, the car has been great. And it's always fun to drive it on the twisty roads near home. Sorry to say the clutch went bad recently. It looks like Hyunda will replace it under warranty. IMO, the looks of the car have aged well. So many cars looks generic in comparison. Yeah, the interior is modest, but no big deal. Love the steering wheel, and, as you say, the seat feels great. P.S. Yeah, I miss a sunroof. FWIW, I've heard that it's hard to do that at this price point and keep the car rigidity high.
Had a red 2020 PP VN. Loved that car! Ended up getting a camaro SS1LE but I'll likely be going back to an elantra N later this year. I moved 3000 miles in that veloster and the seats held up great and I managed to fit a ton of stuff.
i have a camaro also i want a veloster n 🤤
Had mine with a DCT since April of 21 and just crossed 36k. Haven't had any issues since I purchased the car outside of blowing some tires on pot holes in Chicago but changing over to 18s helped mitigate that as well as a set of winter tires for when snow comes around. I'd really say the only two downsides of the car are how stiff the ride is and how poor rearward visibility is. Fortunately due to plenty of coverage when the car came out, I knew what I was walking into and I'm happy to say all the positives (great to drive, fun noises, cool/quirky looks, and a surprising amount of space) far outweigh any negatives. It's amazing just how much the car changes by flipping it into N mode.
2019 Turbo Ultimate owner here. Basic maintenance, tire changes, and 67k miles in, no other issues except the door latch recall and a pesky overhead sunglass door not shutting. 7/10. Pain in the rear to get in and out of with the massive coupe door. I almost have to park it like a 1500 pickup.
The best part of N is the pop pop sound
I’m from Georgia too and thinking about getting one and I don’t know ANYTHING about sports cars 😭 thank you for this
Brian, your tC was the best!
Canada: Hi Brian.
When Hyundai unveiled the Veloster N in Performance Blue, it was love at first sight for me. I was able to snag a used one with 17k miles in 2021. The most fun Ive ever had behind the wheel of a car. Sadly, that one got totaled, and I ended up replacing it with a red one. I wanted white or blue, but I was getting desperate lol like having mad withdrawals driving an economical automatic vehicle. The brakes getting stuck to the rotors happens to me every time I wash her, just gets a little rusted. Both cars had it happen, but the gravity of my driveway is enough to break it loose every time
I've been tracking my 2021 for three years now. I would consider upgrading to the Elantra N but what you CAN do in the Veloster that you CAN'T do in the Elantra is get four extra tires/wheels in the back. Four 235 tires fit perfectly when upright in the back. I stuff my jack and some chairs behind them so they can't roll back into the glass and I'm good to go.
Im a 11 sonata hybrid owner with 119k. Never replaced the brakes but I get the lockup issue as well if it rained or the vehicle sits more then a week without being driven. Never had the issue as bad as you though its allways released with a touch of gas pedal.
I have had a 2022 Veloster N for a little over a year. I love it. Always in Grin mode. I don't like not having a spare tire. Other than that no complaints.
You might be able to order a high pressure spare for it from a Hyundai dealer, my N has one with the tire located under the panel that has the standard tire inflator and foam tray installed beneath it, you just remove the foam tray, put the spare in there, and cover it with the floor panel. The cost and time to wait for delivery is the only thing about getting a spare, it can take awhile because I think it gets shipped over from Korea…
Now that you mention it, I have had the brake locking issue in Chicago. It's never been so bad that very light application of the gas wouldn't release it. But, yeah that is an oddity.
I'm in Chicago.
I've had a 19 N for 5 years now and the same thing happens with my brakes. Always after a rain, never dry weather. Also, if the temps are below freezing, my doors will not open after driving a bit. Example, drive a mile from my house to the convience store near my house. I get out, with the vehicle running, and if i try to open any of the 3 doors they will not open. I have to open the hatch and crawl thru to the drivers seat.
You need to service the brake calipers when u live in the north every 12k miles. U should lube the slides and service then we offer that service in upstate ny it’s very crucial u will extend the brake pad wear by two
Great review and fun car. I wonder if anyone has ever converted this 4-door hatch into a 5-door hatch using right hand drive market body panels and structure 🤔
I can't quite find the link at the moment, but I saw somebody who converted the first gen Veloster into a 3-door hatch, so sort of reversed what you're talking about.
Same issue with the breaks in rainy days, fortunately no damage yet, 3 yrs and 40k miles in. I also got the chipmunks 😂
I have a 2020 VN with the performance package. The wet brakes rust to the rear calipers. It is an "endearing" quality. The third door is one of the cooler features IMHO. I call this car my amusement park ride on wheels as I commute on curvy back roads. I do have some mods, but this car right off the lot is really well sorted. No issues with the car to date. It has been rock solid. I do have a second set of tires...18" Rial Lucca rims and Michelin Pilot Sport all seasons like you because I live in Pennsylvania. Those Pilots are nice tires!
Bro i wanna ask if the car is really that stiff because i heard it breaks your back on long rides
Heh, wet brakes 😂 the first time my brother heard my brakes make noise busting free of the rust he asked me if my car was all right 😂
And if you think chipmunks are bad, I had a car that I think had a dead mouse in the air conditioning system because it stank like a corpse, the dealer couldn’t do anything about that so I lived with the smell for months before it went away😮😂
@@callmemoh4692 No! I have always driven "sporty cars" and my wife has commented that the normal suspension setting feels just fine. She drives a GV70. In N mode you will probably have internal injuries on a public road, but I run Sport (mid-setting on suspension) and I like it. I do run all of the modes while driving. Again, in the Normal mode it is firm but not uncomfortable. No passenger have complained, but I try to limit passengers...LOL.
My brakes seized up the first month I owned it. My rotors got gouged. Had it fixed under warranty
I ran into this again and had to add a comment. My wife has a loaded GV70 and when I have to make a Lowe's / Home Depot run whose car gets used? Yeah, the Velotruckster. I can easily haul 12+ bags of mulch in the back. I LOVE the third car. I am totally bummed that Hyundai got the R&T Performance Car of the Year for 2020 and then cancelled the car. Boo!! Anyway, three years of trouble-free operation driving it like a spoiled teen. I turn 64 soon, btw.
I'm also having issues with not only a stiff suspension causing the car to bottom out on dips in the road but I had to change my 19" wheels to 18" wheels because the low profile tires popped on a very small bride to road surface transition.
I own a 2022 VN w/ DCT.
Old school Honda guy. I bought the VN because of how it drove. No lie it reminded of driving 300hp turbo b18 back in the day. It was simple and raw in all the right ways. It was fun to drive, made the right noises, and handles like a go cart. Worst oart for me was the brand, my knowledge of Hyundai was limited and knew they had a rep.
I maintain it extremely well and its garage kept. Other than tires and some updates nothing really to report.
I like my seats over the fabric, both in look and comfort. (Just fits my frame well)
First, auto car I've owned, drove manual 20 some years. No regrets, I love the DCT! Its an engaging gearbox and runs flawlessly. Its no Porsche PDK, but I do prefer it over my friends DSG. And the customization is awesome, i can turn off creep mode and track shift. Disengages the clutch at stops, and lessens the clamping pressure when shifting making the car feel more stable. I only really use track shift for steaight line, which I don't do alot.
Reminds me of the old Honda SiR hatchbacks…. Very cool
So glad they didn't ruin the N with a sunroof. Not only is it an extra 40 lbs up top that you don't need, it also removes 2" of headroom which is a big deal when wearing a helmet.
I have a 2021 Veloster N. Everytime I wash the car or drive in the rain and park it for the day, the brakes seize onto the rotors. So i push/rock the car via the bumper a couple of times and they release. Had to replace my rack and pinion 1 month ago. The P Zero's lasted just over 1 year, garbage tires. Run Falken 510's now. Amazing tires
Nice review, I’ve got 70k on my 2019 N Performance. Very good reliability. Daily driven car that I autocross and track too.
N owners seem to love their N's, glad you're one of them! -Travis
I've had the same issue. Not completely locked but I live in WA and there have been a few times after sitting for a few hours the bind and as I drive off they release with a clank.
I have the 2020 Veloster Turbo manual. Loving it still almost 3 years in, only repair so far had been the thermostat which was literally done today. Sunroof was a selling point for me over the N and also the thought of the maintenance on a higher performance vehicle was a scary thought. And then also the Turbo has such great gas mileage for having some pep, that was hard to deny. And with the gas prices now a days happy for that choice.
great vid. just a tip for next time, that shot during 4:24 of the rear bumper made me dizzy, not focused and too fast of a transition.
Welcome to Detroit my man! It's really not that bad lol
Had the break clamps on my Kona N today
I'm 1.5 years into owning my 2021 Veloster N and it almost isn't the same car, at least all things you're knocking your model for have more or less been addressed in the 2021 (minus the hard plastic interior).
The racing seats the 2021 comes with a great but not comfortable on the days where you can't bring yourself to sit in the proper racing position. I've made it to 27k miles with 0 mechanical issues and have blown out 3 snow tires on NYC potholes (dealership recently advised that the car has so much torque naturally that I'm better off sticking with the stock all-seasons).
This car is the definition of "jack of all trades, master of none" but damn, everything it does it does very well and if you like performance cars you can't go wrong with it.
Comparing it to my BMW 335i (stock, i will not compare it to the car tuned) it is faster, way more maneuverable, more comfortable for passengers, more cargo space, sounds better inside and out and most importantly, ran 25K miles without a single warning light on the dash.
Did I mention the value on this car is barely dropping?
Was is your main brakes or e-brake that got stuck?
My 2017 Toyota 86 does similar when I leave it outside undriven for days and the brakes rust. However, I barely lift my e-brake up. I leave it in gear to prevent it from rolling so it never gets so stuck to a point that I can't get it moving.
Great car. Love that it's a manual. Brakes 2x? On a manual? How many miles on it? Car is great!
I own previous gen, the only issue I got is the cooling: drive on 75mph for 5 hours the turbo will overheat. Also have an genesis coupe with the same engine but I love the Veloster N more.
Great video I wish Hyundai made a successor to this car
I’ve had my Veloster just under a year and every time I make a sharp turn it feels like my car is jerking and sounds like something is rubbing. Dealership has no idea what’s wrong but they thing it’s a software issue! I also had a recall notice about 4 months into owning my Veloster n 2022
Is it explained somewhere...just why you've move to the rust belt ?
Considering getting one. I've never been a hatcher, but they look like a fun daily driver. How is the N suspension adjustments for rural areas where the roads can vary from smooth even lanes to uneven and somewhat rougher?
When it comes to tires there's nothing much you can do but to buy the best and buy them new.
Brian’s Car Timeline: ‘19 Hyundai Veloster N.
@@brianroskelly2177 what's your plan for the next car?
Yeah, break lock up every time it rains. Florida 😅
If my next car in a few years isn’t electric (looking at the EV6 and Ioniq 5) I’m hoping to get a Kona N or Veloster N.
The Toyota Prius has it's back door handle there in the 2023 model
22 VN 6 speed here. I have noticed that brake issue. My car is parked at work 5 days at a time and half the time I do have to get rolling in 1st for the brakes to release, but not a big deal.
I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the hpfp or the turbo going out. The fuel pump starves the engine at high rpms and is prone to failure. Needs to be replaced with the sonata fuel pump. Also the turbocharger itself doesn't handle tuning well at all, a friend of mine blew his at a track day. You have to replace it with the more durable Elantra N/Kona N turbo or the hybrid turbo from SXTH.
Aside from those issues the engine is built to make serious power and it's the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel
Are these issues on a stock car or just when you start to build it? I’m interested in the car but not if they are bad points stock. I don’t mind if when I start the build they need to be first taken care of of
@@imboredder the hpfp and turbo can fail when stock depending on your car, but your chances of failure increase significantly when modified and tuned. I'm fbo on stock tune, 26k miles and no issues from either component yet, but I have a Sonata hpfp in my garage waiting to be swapped in. I won't put in an EN/KN turbo until I get tuned, likely next year or the year after
@@oreojsn92 thanks for the info !
Brian, did you ever take the Veloster in for the brake issue? What did they say? Check any of the Hyundai forums?
What about winter exploitation, what kind a main issues with this?
The rusting brake thing is a combo of the pad composition and rotor. It's a cheap car. My subaru has been sitting for like 3 months now and you can seethe rust build up on the rotors. I got cheap steel rotors uncoated. So it'll happen. Now the caliper is a weird part but I believe they sorted out the cylinder boot. Have you changed out the brake pads?
i’ve noticed the exact same brake behavior with my 2022 Veloster N. it’s the first connecticut winter in ownership and due to slim garage space, it’s been sitting outside for the past month. if it’s recently rained or snowed, it definitely latches and grips hard when moving into gear after sitting. super jarring the first few times it’s happened. now i normally drive it for a mile or so and brake hard to loosen and warm them back up. very annoying ritual that i need to do like twice a week but hey, once the brakes are loose they work great 🤷♂️
I think Brian is 100% right. This vehicle looks much better on the "4 door side."
Do you live in Mackinaw now, or closer to metro Detroit?
Got the same issue with the break pads. It doesn't do it as much as before. Currently at 20k miles with the 2022 VN. Gonna try ebc red stuff.
21 VN DCT owner. I have red stuff on, it still does that after the break-in but not as crazy as the oem one and it dust a lot less then the oem pads
@Alan that's good to hear. How is its rain performance?
I know the oem's can feel a bit dangerous when you get on the brakes initially when it's raining, after you've been driving for a while.
@@originalmusic401 I have no issue with red stuff in raining day. It works great
Is That they Veloster N with out limited slip diff?
I don’t know why Hyundai discontinued this for the Kona N. The Kona is nice, but for the performance variant, I wish they kept the veloster alive
Yeah, considering VW and Honda kept their cars going it’s surprising the Veloster N got axed…
I find it to not be comfortable on long ride no matter what mode your in. I too miss my moonroof.
those poor wheels. I'll add that I had clear coat peel issues on my wheels with the PP but they replaced all the wheels under warranty. Also my kid loves having his own little door back there. What milage do you have on yours? I'm at 56k. I kept the P zero's on when it was time to get new tires, I just have a cheap civic with studded snow tires for when it snows.
Rear wiper blade, just buy a cheaper longer blade that is 2x the length, cut the rubber, remove the end clips and replace your rear wiper twice for like $12.
How’s the insurance price On these
How many miles
Wouldn't be Detroit without the random car alarm going off in the background huh.
When you review a car always give the mileage
You can see it in the cluster
Wish they had made the Veloster a 4 door.
I have a 22 DCT. This review is pretty much spot on. I did replace the summer pzeros with all season Michelin Pilot sport 4as. I really don’t think any factory car should ship with summer tires. They actually sell these cars with summer tires in the WINTER. It’s absurd. Unless you track your car , or live in California or Florida, you don’t need summers. I shouldn’t have to replace tires on a brand new car.
How much did the replacement brakes cost?? 😅 I'm right there!!😅
What possessed you to move from Atlanta to Detroit?
I know right🙀
@@brianroskelly2177 You chose Detroit over LA?
@Brian Roskelly Understandable but those Detroit winters are gonna be tough.
@@CTF33 not really!
@KatmanJenks You might be used to it but blizzard conditions and subzero wind chills are rough at least where I'm from. The salt on the roads alone would be to much for me.
Don’t have the n but I’ve noticed the rear carpets move really easily when people are getting in and out
Brian, you're missing a lug nut on the front passengger wheel. Nice ride regardless!
313 ♥️
nice korean car
How did your rims get so ate up?
spent money on emblem replacement, but not all weather mats......?
I just can't get over that goofy 3 door design. Give it proper 4 doors and maybe another 2 inches in rear legroom and it would be perfect.
So did you just get rid of your Facebook page? And why are the 2023 Honda pilot videos popping up everywhere and nothing from yall or others like redline ect.....
I feel bad for you, may one day you will be able to leave Detroit🙏🙏🙏 all of us in Kosovo are praying for you🙏🙏🙏🙏🇽🇰
Hyundai interiors are definitely not the best. They should reduce electronic bells and whistles and put more money into armrest comfort.
You can buy the Hyundai alcantera covered arm rest for $100.
I like the part where Hyundais burn your house down.
No Veloster N's have burned anyone's house down or even had widespread engine problems at all so go troll somewhere else.
@@CTF33
How cute.
Look who didn't do any research relating to the over HALF A MILLION Hyundais and Kias that have spontaneously combusted and in one case so far actually BURNED DOWN A HOUSE.
Why even CNET, a known authority, posted an article about Hyundai Velosters catching fire.
If only topowest1 wasn't so lazy.
Nice try, public school kid.
Which ones burn down, smart guy?
@MDTT I know this might be hard for you to understand but try to keep up. The base Veloster has either a 1.6 Gamma engine or a 2.0 Theta II engine both naturally aspirated, these are the only two Veloster engines affected by the fire recall as stated in the CNET article.
The Veloster N has a high performance generation two Theta II-i turbo engine developed by the chief engineer of the BMW M Division, and has been tested and used on track for over seven years with no fires. Motortrend did a whole article on it entitled "Probing Hyundai's Veloster N Performance Powertrain", heres a quote regarding the Theta II-i engine:
"This descendant of the Theta II has little in common with its predecessors, other than the fact that it has an all-aluminum long-block, open deck, and 86x86mm bore and stroke dimensions."
If theres no more questions then school is dismissed.
