Nice. Good to see that some car companies still value lightness.

I see you went with the turbo version. DCT or 6MT?

From the specs, looks like you get the full 195 ft lbs of torque from pretty low RPM (1,750). Don't know about the WRX, but the STI we had at one time (and swapped out for a Golf TDI) didn't have anything below 3K RPM. Great above that though, but I actually prefer the low-end torque for traffic or around town (TDI has a ton of low end torque).

Ian, I think The Hack is referring to the WRX (AWD) he swapped out for the Veloster (FWD).
