Automatic tested with $1200 Tire option proves faster than the manual with standard tires... Great review..

Nice find.

The dealership next to me had the PSS's and it was a noticeable difference in handling. But couldnt justify the 1200 dollars since this is my daily. I keep my z for the fun stuff.

Its the total opposite of this oh so wonderful review :disappointed: 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo test drive and review

I think the manual has some kinks to work out with the gearing and putting the power down. Kuhmo tires suck on this car.

I had mentioned in a previous post that I wasn't sure the AT wasn't as fast or faster 0-60 than the MT.

My MT is a little quirky in 1st and 2nd and the hard stock tires definitely come in to play. I was surprised when I turned off the ECT - as many here suggest - it feels faster 0-60. My plan is to replace the stock tires with something softer in about a year for about $800.

The AT on the VT is like the handful of ATs I've driven on other Hyundais - very good. But there was just something I didn't like about the downshifting under acceleration and I felt that an MT fit the VT's personality better. I really like keeping it in a low gear when sport driving and manually selecting 4th-5th-6th when I'm city highway traffic sometimes.

Its too bad they didnt have a manual to test with the performance tires.. Curious if it brings the handling & acceleration off the line closer to the GTI..
