If you, like me, are one of the people who were fooled by the wonderfully weird looks of the Hyundai Veloster and bought one only to be disappointed by the car’s rubbish engine, terrible ride, and awful handling, you are not going to like the subject of this video, which is a full tour and test drive of the Hyundai Veloster Rally Edition. But let’s be fair and see if all the upgrades this version features have actually made this little weirdo any less horrible.
