I'm glad he likes the car, but there wasn't an objective statement in his review other than gas mileage. There was also no mention of the optional dual clutch transmission or the options group (gps, premium stereo with subwoofer in trunk, etc.). It would have been nice if had taken it around a track or an autocross course, as it can surprise you with how well it performs. He lauds the veloster as the Hyundai performance option, but this car will perform as well as velosters from just a few years ago.
