Some of you may look at the new Hyundai Veloster and wonder where the turnkey goes to wind up the motor. Some of you may think it would make a great gift for your kid that has really gotten into remote controlled cars. However, the smart ones of you know that you’re about to be trend setters and have a whole lot of extra cash in your pocket.

If you recall from a few weeks ago, I told you that the Veloster could be 100 percent decked out for less than twenty grand. That is an unheard of number, and not the kind of unheard of that you say just to say. This is literally a fully loaded price that only shows up on bicycles. Lance Armstrong could come up with a twenty thousand dollar bicycle without breaking a sweat.

Gas Mileage

I realize I harp on this quite a bit, but please note that my harp is perfectly in tune to what people want out there these days. When you tell someone they can get forty miles per gallon, they still think you’re talking about a hybrid. For the most part you normally would be. Fact is, a car a small yet versatile at the new Hyundai Veloster to get that kind of mileage out of a single gallon of gasoline, while still delivering on all the other perks, still defies reason to most people.

Here in Peoria, used cars can take a beating with the fast paced, little Chicago atmosphere that we love here. Anything you may want is either here, or just down the road a bit in Bloomington. You don’t have to go to a city to get the benefits of the compact but efficient lifestyle they love up north. Most people in Peoria, used Hyundai Sonata fits all of their needs, but what if their needs suddenly have a sixteen year old daughter that has to fit in with the in crowd? Being able to buy daddy’s little girl a new car on her sweet sixteen would definitely make you the dad of the year. So I advise you to write a check.
