    Not a fan. With proper negotiating skills, you can buy a 2013 Mustang GT for 26k. Jussayin'... 12s for 26k. If you wanted a small, "cute" car that is made for economy, you found a good one.

    Please enlighten me as to which dealership he bought that car as I will trade the veloster in for that.

    Lady at my work picked up one of these about 2 months ago. Neat little car but I had high expectations for it. Not a bad little car overall.

    Agree on the GT>ST>Veloster argument. The ST is a super fun little car with gobs of torque. With just a tune they turn into one nasty little grocery getter

    Argument? How is this even an argument? The dude posted pics of a car HE purchased and folks are turning this into a "shoulda got this" and "shoulda got that" thread when I'm pretty sure not one person in this thread (aside from the OP) paid a penny for the car. Who cares what you would have gotten or what you think he should have gotten? You didn't get it and neither did he.
    FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!

    Englighten you? Sure, no problem. You should know, first, you selected the premium version, which costs about 5k more. Just FYI.

    those are all stickshifts. I need an automatic which adds 1500 to it. plus a mustang gt is at best 27-28. then add tax, tag and title and it becomes right at 30 or a little more. I got mine for walk out 24k. plus I don't like big muscle cars. I prefer, small better handling cars. call it cute as you may. but as you drive your mustang past 500 other mustangs on your way home. I will be passing 1-3 other veloster turbos.

    That's fine. Different strokes different folks. Enjoy your Veloster turbo.

    Oh, and your prices are suggesting you pay sticker. Who does that? You're supposed to leave the dealership, and 10 minutes later the salesman goes "damn I got screwed"

    Not the other way around.

    So, which one is it? If your foot is in both world and you go back and forth, no biggie- we've all been there. However, your Hyundai doesn't come close in handling to the Mustang GT. Let's make sure you understand that one up front. Yours pulls a 0.82 on the skidpad. That is nothing to brag about at all. I've pulled over .90 on mine with silent tires (it has a built in lateral accelleration app). Keep in mind the GT STOCK tied the M3 in a track event in a road test, and this was prior to the improvements of the 2013 GT. Jussayin...
