    I have the Hyundai Accent version of this car, but with a 6 speed stick. The stock tires were made for economy, not performance. Replacing them with Yokohama's on lightweight Mini rims really upped the steering and handling.

    Honestly I feel the exact opposite. This is an amazing car for someone who treats their cars like they have a grudge against it. Slam on it, hurt it kick it when you are mad and a few years later you are out maybe what would be a down payment for a different car, and you can sell it for scrap. These things are too cheap to criticize lol

    @@theadvocate4698 From most of the listings I've seen, that is true. The value has stayed around the same price range for years. I have a 14 R10 manual and it's a joy. The plus side is most of the aftermarket for the FS Veloster will also work on the UB. Most of the parts are the same, you could do a 5lug wheelhub conversion if you really wanted. It is the Veloster if it weighed less. And doesn't come with racerboy tax.
