^^^looks pretty mean!!
After my search recently I went with a used low km 2017 Mazda 3 sedan for my wife.
It’s a blacked out edition with the 2L, auto with a nice leather interior and great stereo/nav.
She likes it a lot.
I picked it over the Elantra, Civic, Corolla I compared it to.
Interested in a 2013 Elantra GLS 6spd with only 26K on it? :) Going back and forth if I should sell.
If you were going brand new I would say the Mazda 3 because they have good incentives, better financing options. But generally, the Veloster seems like the CRX of 2019 so in that sense you have to be willing to take a risk, Hyundai has come a very long way and they are reliable and cheap to own.
Back in 1985 buying a CRX as compared to a Z24 which everyone was buying at the time seemed like a risk, but the CRX was amazing in every sense.
Some years Mazda 3 also have a very bad oil consumption problem, I also helped a family on the QEW last summer when they overheated theirs in traffic.
Consider a Volkswagen GTI too.
We had a new 2012 Mazda 3 Skyactiv and LOVED it. 0 issues in our 4 years of ownership. Also, the 2nd gens don't rust at all like the first gen with the bad quarters.
Mazda all the way IMO.
They also seem to have a better grip on the endless engine issues.
