The Veloster's steering and suspension, likewise, feel very good. There's plenty of feedback and steering is quick and responsive. Get up some speed, throw it into a curve and the Veloster feels like a proper, road-hugging sports car.
You can get your Veloster with one of two available transmissions, a "dual clutch" six-speed automatic and six-speed manual.
Get the manual. It shifts nicely and feels good to use, which is important because you'll be moving that lever around like a kid working at a loose tooth.
Using the manual shifter to wring the power out of the Veloster's 1.6-liter engine -- the same one used in the subcompact Accent -- you can even work up a bit of fun in around-town driving.
It sounds like an oxymoron, but the new Chevrolet Sonic is a really good General Motors subcompact and it's the only vehicle in that class currently built in the United States
