review

with a quick start via the cliché corner and then we'll get into all the stats, yeah, because these are very, very attractive

hatches

, after all, okay, Jacob's cliché corner and the best front-wheel drive cars of all time. This is very funny. These cars are absolutely incredible. Yuri Howser is in the corner. In my case I'm using my rep mix and this is coming out like crazy with the LSD, all oversteer haha.
2019 honda civic type r vs hyundai veloster n review   battle of the hottest hatches
I saw a little bit of that oversteer which was incredible, man this Civic Type-r is unreal, these things handle like they're glued together. to the road how to distribute traction to the wheels oversteer is ok with the cliché corner just touch for now horsepower and torque in the Civic

type

-r I have 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque from a 2-liter four-cylinder turbo and the Hyundai Veloster and it has 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque from a 1.6-liter turbo, plenty of power from both and we both have six-speed manual transmissions, only both transmissions They are incredible and we have to go into the details of all of them. this because all the little details are what make the difference for both of us and that will help us figure out which one we would choose and why, so let's start with a drag race and how fast they are on the track, yes we should. hit the track with this, shouldn't we?

More Interesting Facts About,

2019 honda civic type r vs hyundai veloster n review battle of the hottest hatches...

We're actually making a video of the track, so stay tuned, that's where we'll cover all the drag racing, forensics and lap times. I hope so, we really do it. the track, so don't forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell. I know some of you are watching without subscribing, we're going to make it so you get notified as soon as the video goes live because we're going to be really engaging. of these things, so let's talk about these engines, obviously the Civic type-r pulls a little harder, but the Veloster is not that far behind here, let's try it ah, Papa Papa Bob, the Civic type-r doesn't do any of that and I am very disappointed yeah so this has a valved exhaust so you can customize it for all your setups and it sounds so perfect the Civic Type-R sounds like nothing and I'm still disappointed after

review

ing it the first time the second time and how about launch control, so the Veloster has real launch control and you can even set the RPM with the cruise control button and it works pretty well and the Civic type-r just has a rev limiter that they call Incorporated? on launch control, which I'm not really buying, yes, it's an unofficial launch control, so the philosopher and only one control win for sure.

Oh, and just a reminder, the blue seat belt means Veloster and a red seat belt means the guy is also Type R in the seats, which I'm sure you can see there's an end to this, but it's hard to tell. see but anyway back to driving they both pull extremely hard and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference before driving them side by side but who holds the record at the Nurburgring right now the Civic type-r still has it , but which company has Nurburgring in its name and for Veloster n-name yang and Nurburgring both cars were tested extensively at Nurburgring, which is cool SN the Veloster?
2019 honda civic type r vs hyundai veloster n review   battle of the hottest hatches
It even has a Nurburgring mode for that turn with all the graffiti on it, yeah the Veloster n has an ESC sense for the carousel which is crazy by the way I've been on the river cool so let's talk about these transmissions. I want to talk. First, about the shift knob, I prefer the one on the Civic, it's made of nice metal and doesn't have a small ring for reversing. I really like the transmission in the Civic Type-R, it's very nice, but I also really like the Veloster n1, it has the N logo. Pretty much exactly the same as the Elantra GT n line that we just had, so the shift knobs are personal preferences, that's basically a tie.
I prefer the inner bar URI, just the knob. I think it's pretty tied up now as well, I think the actual feel of the transmission. The Civic type-r is much more precise and I like the feeling when changing gears better in the Civic type-r. Personally, I haven't found less precision in the Veloster. They both click and both feel good better than everything else. that company makes I still think this one is much more accurate it feels like metal like there are real metal things in there not like rubber bushings like it feels on the Veloster which I know there are rubber bushings on both oh yeah A little bushing and here you wanted to talk about the height of the shifter.
Well, the height of the shifter compared to where your knees are. The end of the Veloster is exactly at the same height as my knee while driving. I'm on the tie rod, my knee is like four or five six inches below the height of my hand on the shifter. I think I like this lower shifter position better on the Veloster and Type R. I feel like I'm lower in the car, so my hand is actually level with the shifter on the Type. A, but on the Veloster, my hand has to reach down to shift. In the actual driving position, everything is lower in the Civic Type-r and the gear lever is a little higher, so I prefer the The seating position on the tie rod feels a little more like a race car.
Racing may feel more like a race car, but this one feels easier every day just to get in and out of. Oh, I totally agree with you that that one is easier to drive daily because of the seats. Well, we'll talk about that later, we have more things to talk about, like rev matching. Both have automatic rev matching and which one does its automatic rev matching better. That would be the end of the Veloster because there's a gigantic button on it. steering wheel to turn it on and off, that makes it a lot easier because when you want to have fun, make your own shifts with the heel and toe down, yeah, and on the guy bar right now I don't even remember how to turn. off I have to go through the settings menu and then it's just Barry's vehicle settings and then you can go to other vehicles settings but you have to come to a complete stop, ridiculous, the only bad thing about rev matching on the Hyundai which I think What I can improve is being able to toggle the rev match button while in a custom mode because your custom mode assigns the red magic and it can't be changed.
I know why they did it, it makes sense, but I also agree with you. and then ask about rev matching responsiveness and fuel. Is there a preference you have because I prefer the Veloster? But that could be connected to the exhaust. I think the Veloster's end actually matches revs a little faster because you can. Actually customize it through the drive modes, which is unrealistic, so if we're talking about rev matching, we should probably talk about pedal placement. Pedal placement is fantastic on both, if you turn off rev matching you can match the revs yourself. The heel down shifters are Great on both cars and both are cool as aluminum racing pedals, yes they look super cool, not that you'll ever see them but they feel great.
Now let's talk about some things with daily drivers. Listen to the suspension. Which one of them? These are more comfortable I think the Civic type-r is more comfortable but they all have adaptive dampers. Yes, I totally agree. The Civic is definitely more comfortable for daily driving. We have three different Comfort Sport modes and also R plus R is still completely fine. for driving on normal roads it is not too stiff and the speed is R and it is normal sporty and eco, then it also has N and n custom mode so it becomes super stiff, almost unbearably stiff, but you can easily change it by setting your constant end to Having a softer suspension, does it seem too bumpy to you?
It may not feel too bumpy and I'd say it's unbearably stiff in n mode on public roads, but that's what makes sense, it's so stiff that you can adjust it back and that's it. One of the first cars besides BMW M's that I've had to scale things back because it's too stiff and I think that's all thanks to Albert Berman because he did both the M division and the n division for Hyundai okay , but I've been driving. around this entire review in a full n cut mode and like I don't know, it shows on camera. I'll bounce back, if you're driving it's probably not unbearable, but if you're a passenger you'd probably hate it. and counterpoints that this is a smooth road, but in general the variation from the lowest mode to the highest mode in the Civic Type R makes a bigger difference than in the Veloster n, but here, if I change this to normal mode, as is generally quite smooth.
I think realistically, if you're interested in both, you should try them out and see for yourself that this one isn't as rigid. That's all. So, the tie bar. Can you customize your driving modes? You cannot customize the driving mode. I only have Comfort Sport and Plus R, that's what I hate the most. I want customization, yes, and high-end, I prioritize that by putting a big drive mode button and an end button right on the steering wheel, and what can you customize your e absolutely everything? If I click the end button I can go to custom and go to my settings while driving with the exhaust sound matching the revs.
Then if I go to the chassis, I have suspension, steering and ESC, and that is very close to perfect, I think. BMWs got a little better because you can change the suspension and all that independently with a physical button. That's it, we're going to go a lot deeper into the handling because they both have LSD towards the end of the video, but First let's talk about that exhaust because I just want to keep talking about it, the Philosopher's n sounds amazing, it sounds perfect, honestly this is the perfect exhaust for this type of vehicle. I love it, you can turn it off so it's normal if you get your drive to someone who doesn't want to have a loud exhaust.
It's just amazing. I'm going to say they totally nailed it, they absolutely nailed the tone. It all sounds so good for a four-cylinder. I love that exhaust on this Civic Type-R. Nothing. Next guy, our Honda, you need to fix that for more points, yeah, at least you have a triple exhaust, but make that triple exhaust sound like a triple exhaust, yeah, and put that red ring back on, yeah, that ring red is cool, so let's talk. about the appearance, but first let's talk about our sponsor today. Ghost wallets. We have been using these wallets for a couple of months.
You guys have been asking for another coupon code, so today we have one for you. This is my favorite wallet since I got rid of it. my thick leather wallet has a lot more room in my pocket, it doesn't look like it can handle such a thing and it has a nice little money clip to hold your money and it will hold even the American Bill. nicer than Canadian bills because Canadian bills, if you don't know our monopoly money, you know you don't hate Canadian bills, although I like monopoly, so they come in a couple different sizes.
Visit the website phantom wallet com. Use coupon code s P 15. with 15 percent off your entire order, I highly recommend it, it is much better than a normal wallet, going back to the appearance, which one overall let's make a general statement, do you like it better Three, two, a cigarette, really yeah, man, aren't you a Civic type? -r is an ugly ship with all the others. I really like the way this looks, it's very over the top and I think the end of the Veloster is a little too dull and I've never been a fan of the three door model, the Civic I think.
The title bar looks great. I think the best angle is the 3/4 rear angle. I love the spoiler. I love the fenders. I love all the real vents, not too crazy about the fake grills, but I don't really care, but this thing is blue. and it looks sportier because it's less practical it has less space I don't agree at all and I think this one looks a lot sportier look at the gigantic wing on this thing it has wide fenders it has all this it also has a big wing and it has a distinctive color but The distance from the wing to its mounting posts is much shorter, okay, your wing is pretty next level, but this hatch goes all the way back, okay, but let's break it down piece by piece, Veloster headlights the drag race from edwin wins hands down, I mean

civic

designs are getting a little old, it looks cool, how about the Veloster taillights and why does it have inverted Lamborghini Aventador taillights?
Yes, the Civics are the cool lobster claws, but these are a cooler front end overall, I think the Veloster n beats it, but I think they areequally good, yes, I'm a little tight on this one. I really like the big grille on the velociter and they obviously don't have a front plate here which makes it look better. but how cool does the red look the way it is cut around the bottom of the bumper, yes it looks great but I have a hood and it is functional but it has halogen high beams yes and this is all LED . on the Civic so that's where the money goes and then what about the fake grilles on the front of both?
I'm getting over the fake grills, they're still annoying. I hope the manufacturers stop making them, but they're just there are these black areas, you just assume they're fake, you're actually a little surprised when they're real, but they both have little ducts so air can go around the wheels, yeah , exactly, so it is functional, so move around the wheels, let's talk about the wheels. I think the ones on the Civic Type-R look a lot cooler. I think they are equally cool and look cool because they have the red stripe while it's rolling. I'm a little more Veloster, although they are actually so simple, but there are more colors in this one than it's just red scheme I just think the Ryan Veloster has a cooler wheel pattern.
I don't agree at all, however, I use Continental six contact sport tires and the recommended Continental tire for the Veloster extreme is the extreme contact sport. I'm very excited to test them on the track with the final Veloster yes we have something pretty special with the final Veloster so stay tuned and make sure your notifications are about the rears. I think the Civic type-r just takes it, it's so wild it's disgusting, but it's so wild from a low angle like the Civic Type-R looks amazing and every time I pulled into my parking lot the first thing I saw was that stupid wing coming out and I loved every minute of it but this one is also very good in a very good Try exactly but I think the Civic Type-R needs to win yeah sure okay let's talk about the cool things they both have so I have a dual exhaust that looks very nice and the exhaust tips look very stylish too.
I really like it. the Veloster exhaust and I think it looks better but I have triple exhausts on the guy bar so I don't know it's kind of a change there and we both have nice diffusers on the bottom which is cool but I also have wide fenders In the back. I don't have a wide body, that's another big difference in terms of appearance, yeah this one just looks wider, more aggressive, it just looks a lot flashier and this is pretty much the same Veloster. Turbo body but with a wing and some other cool stuff, yeah, so if they were different colors, if they were both black, I think the Civic type-r would still stand out a little bit more, it definitely would, but we made sure to get the white tie bar because as far as I'm concerned that's the type bar color and if anyone buys this in a color other than this blue they shouldn't be allowed to buy it but they should buy it anyway because It's safe, yes, I totally agree with the white championship. is where it's at and performance blue is where it's at for the floss track.
Now let's talk about the general body lines and the side profile, which do you think looks better? I think the Veloster end has some pretty nice body lines, but overall I said Civic. I'll stick with the Civic. I think the Veloster trim looks better and I think because they gave up practicality for looks that helps too but this is the odd three door car right yeah so this is a four door and there's a lot more room . inside for boxes box test on Civic type-r officially 11 boxes 8 boxes not bad, kind of bad, kind of bad and then actually the first time we tested one of the new Veloster and Veloster Turbo because we never had the chance to do it. that we should test the visors on both three two one passes completely however Yuri, I know something about the final test of the Veloster that passed here sigh advisor, it does not match the Canadian specification Veloster n does not pass on the passenger side the American one does and the Canadian-spec Veloster Turbo does.
Link in part number description. Actually, it is not a part number link. If you want to replace the passenger side visor on your Canadian Speed ​​specification. I have a partner before I thank him. the fans who pointed that out at the time they got their Canadian Veloster are done, but getting back to the three obscurities of this, did you ever notice that it's a three-door, not a two- or four-door like no, yeah, when I am? trying to put things behind me on the driver's side, that's all, oh yeah, we had that conversation before. I'm a trunk type of person if I'm not using the driver's seat and you're the type of guy who always uses the back seat instead of the trunk, yeah because I've almost always had sedans so I'm used to having that space in the back seat now that you're in the suicide door Club with the element with the Raptor yes Raptor Club suicide door Club, let's change drivers, now that the appearances are finished and get into other interior things and the cliche corners, yes , I can't wait for the cliché corner to hit again because the exhaust, oh this thing feels like it has more traction than the end of the Veloster.
Oh, crackles and pops, oh. I love this, so both things have good things that the other doesn't. Oh absolutely, these are unreal in their own way, so let's start with the seating position, what is it like in the Veloster? and compared to the type of seats in the Veloster. They are very well reinforced, but not as well reinforced as the Civic type-r. Yes, the Civic type-r is much more reinforced, but the reinforcements are very soft overall. I prefer the seating position and everything about seating in the Civic Type-R there is no armrest directly behind the shifter in the Type R, but there is in the Veloster.
Yeah, you usually have a problem with that, don't you? I usually have it, but I spent a lot of time in the Elantra GT. n line so maybe I'm used to it because of that and in relation to all those things I want to talk about a small coffee cup and how well it fits, it fits perfectly in both, however the R type cup holder in the compartment is so much better because you can slide it back and forth and you can put a tall drink in and still not get in the way of your shifting and then in the Civic Type R we have that other compartment on the bottom with the pass. via cables and wireless charging, yes, there is no wireless charging on those fancy things here, except heated seats and a heated steering wheel.
This doesn't have heated seats or a heated steering wheel, but now let's talk about the steering wheels, the steering wheels are great on both. but the Veloster n has the better steering wheel just because of the drive mode selector and the end button. I think they both feel equally comfortable. I like red and I like leather. I like how they both match the color to the cars. Also, feature-wise, I think the Valastro n1 is again much better thanks to that rev button where you can turn off the auto rev matching right away and overall steering feel.
Both are great. I have no problems with steering feel. I know exactly. where are my wheels with both cars let's talk infotainment now I think this is an easy win for Hyundai it has the usual infotainment they always have and this Honda Civic type-r has the old Honda Civic infotainment both were wide satellite radio stations They both have Apple Carplay and Android Auto, but everything about usability is much easier in the Veloster and yet that's not the same old

civic

infotainment because it now has a volume button, so they actually added it in 2019, but it still takes more clicks to get it. to everything you would do on the velociter and the speed on has that shortcut button so you can go directly to your Apple Car Android Auto player and you get all your sports gauges and such on the Veloster, your final mode gauges are sewn in, yes, the end.
The mode performance pages are so good, everything displayed is great and then we also have the gauges in the middle that also show boost pressure and all that fun stuff. The Civic Type-R czar is also amazing, yes, the best mode over the Civic Type. -r is that you can get the shift lights, but no matter what mode you're in, the big red lights on top will flash when you hit the red line, so let's talk about the shift lights on the end of the Veloster because they are incredible. Fresh out of a race car, they actually light up in different colors and then flash like the deity sport we've been playing online.
Yeah, I definitely prefer the Veloster meters to this one, but I think this meter is great, okay? let's move on to the general interior, like the look you get from the driver's seat, which interior is better, let's do another one of these countdowns, let me know which one you like best, three, two, one bar, we have a lot of cool soft materials, a lot different materials. lots of cool red colors I love it, yes it looks so good, the seats look better, that whole interior looks and feels better than in the Veloster and it's pretty tacky.
We go over this in the GTI review. I totally agree in terms of functions, I prefer. This seems smart, I prefer the one on the Civic Type-R. Now let's talk about rear seat space, so in the Civic Type-R we have enough room for four adults, but it's not a five-seater in the Veloster. It's great. cramped in there and then there's even less headroom so I fit perfectly in the back of the Veloster behind me. I don't fit comfortably behind me on the end of the Veloster, but I do fit behind me on the Soviet type bar, so let's take this back to the cliché corner and make our final decision on a final shipment, maybe two final submissions, yeah, okay, maybe like seven, okay, Jake, I'm looking at your rearview mirror, hey, what's up fury, let's send these things through the s's and then the cliche corner, figure it out? which one we like to drive more change it and come back full send in a corner cliche maximum edit mode all this hand well full plus our mode well press that auto throttle match right on the way down yeah I'm not going to lie.
I'm using the auto rev match because it's so good I don't even want to turn it off, man you're so much faster with the auto rev match, uh yeah, and this thing has so much grip, it latches on so hard, this is so Well. now we have to change it and see if we like the other one better while the cliché corner is still fresh in our minds, okay, I'm back at the Civic type-r, its final decision moment, the final cliché corner, here we go and the total sin, there is just a lot of grip in the Civic type-r so neutral that it handles so well that there is no understeer, there is nothing surprising, this head of the Veloster was much wilder there and I think I like the greater aggressiveness that feel the Civic type-r. much more accurate, but the velocerator is just more fun, it's just more fun, isn't it?
It's like the most rear-wheel drive front-wheel drive car that has ever existed. Yeah the end of the Veloster actually oversteers like taking off the oversteer it's crazy and honestly. behind the wheel going into faster corners I feel like it's a smaller car and I have more control and I can make it do more of what I want it to do. I think I have more control in the Civic type-r. I think this is the best handling car I think there is a better car overall, but I'm not sure which one I'd like to take home. I have my answer, I have my answer, so they both have limited slip differentials and that helps tremendously.
With the handling, that's why we can take cliché corners so well and the tires you can feel help you too, but I felt like this one turned more than the Civic Type-R. The Veloster end is definitely more fun and turns a bit more, tends to oversteer, while the Civic type-r is much more neutral and it all comes down to personal preference, like which one you like. They are both amazing cars and these have the best front end. You can buy all-wheel drive cars, for sure, so we'll talk a lot more about handling in the track review, so make sure you have your notifications on so you can watch that video when it comes out, oh yeah, and like it people saying GTI over a Veloster and only if you're 30, yeah we had this little discussion before.
If I were 20 years old and looking at the speed end of the GTI, I would definitely choose the Veloster EDD if I were 30 years old. that I'm GTI versus Veloster and I have to think a little bit about it exactly, I think it's an age thing, but even this in black can be loud, it can get poppy, you might want a quieter car, but you can turn everything around. You can also remove that and continue enjoying it as a normal Veloster and then asCivic Type-R. I think if you're in your 20s or 30s, if you want it, you'll get it no matter what you don't really need. to question it except for the appearance, I think you have to question it for the appearance exactly when you are 30 years old, you have to say: can I live with the appearance of this thing every day?
Because it's very exaggerated, so Now I think we should come up with the prices so that the velociter n is thirty-four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Canadian dollars and we only have one option for the Veloster no. You in the states have two options and the type r is forty-one thousand and six. one hundred and ninety dollars, so the difference of almost seven thousand dollars between the two and legally in Canada, dealers can't make margins, so that whole margin fiasco doesn't exist here, so this price difference accurately reflects how different these cars are. I don't think there's much more value in the Hyundai exactly like that, it's not six thousand dollars less than a Canadian car.
I know exactly. I think it should cost like three thousand dollars less, but I don't think that many people would buy it at that time. so they actually priced it exactly where they should and that takes into account the extra money you will have to spend to put an exhaust on the Civic type-r. No, which one would you take home when you were 33 and I eat? I am 32 years old. I like everything about the Civic Type-R because it's so precise. Everything is great. I like the driving position. The exhaust sound on the velociter end is so good.
I'm so conflicted for the first time in my life. a car decision, so the Veloster has a loud exhaust, it's slacker when going, it may not be as quick, but it makes up for the aggressiveness and it's $6,000 Canadian cheaper, yes exactly, so if it were my money , that's how it is. a lot of savings, that's a lot of days on the track and although it doesn't have as much test room in the bed, it doesn't have as much room in the back, it has better infotainment, all things that I appreciate more and think I would. I give up practicality for the volume, the joy, the usefulness of the interior.
I have to go to the Veloster. I'm very conflicted right now, but I think I'm still the Civic Type-R, but what's the biggest conflict? The sound, the exhaust, yes. got the sound that's it so let's say it came with a loud exhaust so you didn't use the aftermarket exhaust yes we are writing wrong ok then it's just an exhaust problem for you more or less , yeah, okay, that's good, we fixed it, we figured it out, let us know. in the comments below Veloster and Type-R, did you buy one? Send us a photo. We'd love to see what it looks like.
