Funnily enough, doing a color scheme of something lighter (like white or red or blue) with black wheels does a better job or making the car look sporty than most “ground effects” packages.

I agree honestly, the rims absolutely transformed it compared to the stock steelies with fugly hubcaps, just look at this shit:

And I’ll die on this hill, but you can have as much fun in a small FWD econo-box as you can with a high-powered RWD sport coupe

I haven’t driven a high-powered RWD car, but I’m having a blast with the Yaris. It has enough power to be fun when driven spiritedly while also not trying to kill you.

Hell, in high school I loved driving my mom’s 2001 Punto. 60 drunk donkeys under the hood, rotted out muffler and busted suspension. It had a 0-60 of eventually and was great fun going flatout down some twisty roads. Granted, flatout in that car meant like 30 mph but highschool me still loved it.

Edit: This one is also a non-hybrid with a manual transmission. That adds to the fun factor quite a bit imo.

Thank you, I do love the hatchback ^-^

It’s pretty fun, yeah. It’s far from a sports car, but it’s nippy enough and doesn’t weigh much so it’s fun driving it down twisty roads.

Fellow 2016 Veloster owner! Off topic but have you found an active Veloster community on lemmy yet?

Is that the GR?

Ha, I wish. Nah, it’s the regular 120-ish hp shitbox. It has a manual transmission tho, so that’s cool.
