The 2019 Hyundai Veloster Turbo is entertaining yet affordable

With 201 horsepower, sticky tires and an excellent shifter, the Turbo R-Spec is a ton of fun.

That led to a career writing news, review and feature stories about all things automotive at Automobile Magazine, most recently at Motor1. When he's not driving, fixing or talking about cars, he's most often found on a bicycle.

As before, the Veloster has two doors on the passenger side but just one on the driver's side. Weird, right?

This is the Turbo R-Spec, which has grippy Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires on its 18-inch wheels.

A short-throw shifter from B&M makes the six-speed manual transmission even more satisfying to use.

Along with the sportiness, though, the Veloster Turbo still offers practicality, with 19.9 cubic feet of cargo space.

Compared to the base Veloster, the Turbo has retuned suspension and steering, as well as larger brakes.

The center-exit exhausts and subtle roof spoiler contribute to a sporty appearance.
