Hi everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. I can't believe I'm here, but I wasn't happy with my previous car ('13 Hyundai Veloster). Went in to the Chevy dealer last night to TD, walked out with a Cyber Gray RS. Basically the same payment.

I had just bought the Veloster in November 2012. Had 3,950 miles on it.

Oh well. Moving on to new things!

I've had many cars over the past 5 years (hate to admit), and modded them all to a certain extent. My plan is to keep the RS light on mods considering all the stuff already on it. Probably just tint really. Anyway...looking forward to learning more about the Sonic and having some Spring/Summer fun in a new car!

Here she is sitting safe way out in the work parking lot:

TL/DR - Ditched Veloster, bought RS! :banana:

Welcome, What didn't you like about the Veloster ?

I had a lot of "small" issues with it that I didn't feel like dealing with any longer. I had been in service at least 10 times in the past 5 months to get issues diagnosed/repaired. Lost time @ work, calls with Hyundai corp. Nothing to the extent of a lemon though. That played a part.

It was pretty laggy on acceleration due to the DCT transmission, and in general didn't have much of a "fun to drive" factor.

I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn't. It didn't seem very well put together. I know it's an econobox, but it felt slapped together. We're supposed to have fun when we drive and I didn't feel it with the Veloster. I had spent a fair amount on mods (intake/exhaust/projector headlights + HIDs, etc...) I guess to boost my interest, but it didn't work in the end.
