I’ve owned both. Manual is the way to go. Not quite as fast but so much more engaging and fun. Exhaust is more active and louder

Great review. It's like you were reading my mind and knew all of my questions. The elephant in the room still bothers me a bit. I've driven only manuals for 50 years and like driving. But the DCS being a full second faster to 60 bugs me a little. Still, I'm retiring in one week. YAY!!!! So I'll no longer have a daily commute. Yeah, okay, that's it. I'll get the manual N. Hopefully they still have the manual in the 2022 model.

One of the best reviews I've seen on this car. A manual trans guy, really wishing the Kona N came with a manual. I've owned a WRX since '02 and since the reveal a week ago, well the search for a new car just widened.

I'd always get the manual, even if I have bumper to bumper traffic to deal with.

Being a manual driver i love them both. The DCT made more sense to me for everyday driving so thats the one i got and i love my DCT and i definitely don’t feel as though I’m losing out. Thanks for this great review.

Coming out of a 2015 mk7 Golf R DSG, which I loved, especially the DCT and the individual options for comfort normal and sport as I loved having the DCC in comfort and everything else in sport. It was a lease so I had to return it and even though the mk8 is really tempting, after you tik all the boxes, it would end up costing over $10,000 more than I spent on my mk7 R and I'm trying to find something that going to be a lesser payment than my $40,000 mk7 so I think this is the car for me. And from what I've read and watched, the veloster N is a lot more precise and smile-inducing in terms of performance and handling then the golf R. And since I live in South Florida with no snow and no potholes, who needs the AWD. And I'll finally get to experience what a true front LSD feels like. Can't think of anything better for the price. Thanks for the review 👍

It's nice to see manual drivers say that the DCT is fun. I've seen plenty of reviews and while the manual is more engaging, I've also seen people put it in manual mode and have a blast with it. Just accept it: automatic isn't as bad as you think it is.

It’s not as bad, but tapping a plastic paddle will never be as fun as engaging/disengaging the clutch manually and the notchy feeling of shifting it into gear yourself. It’s also rewarding when u get a great 0-60 or do good rev match because it’s actually u doing it not a computer chip.

I have a 2021 PB VN I bought almost 1.5yrs ago in a dct and I love it!!!

Great detail review over all videos I have seen , especially the safety details ….. 🔥🔥

Holy! I learned so much about the veloster n with this review than any other reviews on youtube. best one yet.

I have desamated quite a few unsuspecting car that thought the N had no chance! It is an incredible car falls on it face a little up top but personally never minded the ride in custom mode. Ofcourse mine is FBO with a JB4 tune. I have driven my friends DCT and its very quick and much easier to launch and in my opinion just as fun! I am still curious to see how the DCT holds up to mods. Fun fact the 19 veloster N also had over boost you just had no control over it Albert berimen said it himself. Infact I'm confident I would still have beaten my friends DCT according to our quarter mile times.

If they would have made the Veloster N in AWD too, it would have been a GAME CHANGER...

Hit the nail on the head with this one

I'll wait for the Kona and Elantra N. The Veloster looks nice in person, but I want more useable space.

I've seen the seats during a track run and they move quite a bit, they flex a little too much. Also, though they are performance seats, they actually are not harness ready. Though I love the seat design and logo light, I likely will be replacing them and installing harnesses. The tech options and custom tuning is awesome! The warranty likely doesn't cover the clutch packs. ?? What's the cost to have the clutch packs replaced, and can you put in more aggressive ones? Also, they use some odd named turbo that makes me question durability.

Hi I've a 2020 Hyundai veloster turbo r spec I've changed out the Mufflers and exhaust tips it's loud enough for me and it sets off cars alarm lol 👋🙂👍🚘 nowadays it's going be difficult to find a veloster N with the pandemic happened now but I loved rolling through my own gear

I personally prefer the 2020 settings page for custom since it's just a bit easier to understand what's going on and I just prefer the look of the older one.

The manual has auto rev match on down shift which eliminates a lot of the fatigue of city driving. Yet people still complain about it 😂.

I might want to test drive the DCT, I love manual but I already have a manual car so having remote start in the winter might be nice, and just for variety sake. But then again, I really hate driving automatics. I'm just assuming a good DCT is way better than a normal slush box but I'd have to test one. Too bad they are so hard to find at dealerships rn.

Is the veloster Turbo good and if it is which is better the manual or dct?

Bought my racing red 2021 V N last Friday. I love it. Just passed my 600 mile for the engine so now I can push it a little more. ;) It's awesome. It has safety because I got a kid.
