The harbinger of Hyundai’s high-performance line is one of the best sports cars I’ve tested and the most affordable.
With supportive seats, about 30 mpg highway and triple the cargo space of a sedan, the N is a practical and dignified daily driver. However, press the steering wheel-mounted “N” button, and the car instantly becomes an early ’90s Ferrari: joyfully quick, deafeningly loud and superbly fun to drive without a hint of understeer.
You can purchase a new crossover and Ferrari F355 for around $150,000 or get both experiences in one Veloster N for just $29,900.
