Loads of fun, good mileage, handles off road well.
Since there are two different velosters, this is for the base model. Don't get this model if you're looking for HP. this model is tuned for mileage which I can get up to 42mpg cruising at 65mph depending on terrain. I installed a K&N cold air intake to help it breathe better at higher altitudes since I live in western Colorado. It does have trouble like any 4 cylinder would above 7,000 ft so if you are living at higher elevations the turbo model should do fine.
Believe it or not, off road capabilities are fantastic as long as ground clearance isn't an issue. I drove up a ski area access rd with no problems at all, now I'm driving in the desert and was able to navigate down a jeep rd and up a steep rocky part with no problems at all. Mind you do need experience for this type of driving, not recommended for beginner drivers because you need to learn driving lines for off road terrain.
Cornering is smooth and responsive like a sports car, you don't need high performance tires for good traction, car is very well balanced and light weight.
it is tight getting into back seats so if you're tall riding shotgun is fine.
Overall, this is a great car if you need good mileage. If performance is what you want, get the turbo model.
