I cant find neutral!!! what do i do!!! Ive never put my car into neutral before. LOL
You are obviously a very confused individual who understands nothing about this video.
To cure this buy a kia
this video is for the women..
“How to survive a situation that has never had a single confirmed occurrence, if you are a total and complete idiot.”
Hmm, not quite as catchy.
Hard to do in an auto…
lol and their using a toyota.
dead set people who dont know where neutral is should be dragged out into the street and shot.
no mercy just bang.
manual: clutch – brake – stop. why complicate?
there were cases of toyotas accelerating for no reason. maybe it was just an urban legend, though.
“you’d basically have to read the manual”. because who needs manuals, right? it’s only a two ton steel box that can go a hundred mph, no need to learn how to operate it properly.
I find this video troubling, because it attempts to teach FRAUDSTERS how to defeat the multiple systems to stop the car. The idea that braking a speeding car do not stop the car, we can clearly see the speedometer dropped from 100 down below 50. Cannot find neutral (or park), DO THESE IDIOTS LEAVE THEIR CARS RUNNING IN GEAR ALL NIGHT UNTIL IT RUNS OUT OF GAS? WHO ARE THESE STUPID PEOPLE WHO CANNOT SHIFT THEIR CAR OR TURN IT OFF? THEY MUST ALL LIVE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD!
“Sometimes its hard to find Nuetral” I dont want to live in this world anymore.
Manual boxes FTW !
Airbeds must be requirement for automatic cars like airbags. If its accelerates by itself and if you can’t put it to netural or stop, than jump outside with an airbed.
So in case your right foot suddenly turns into lead, this is how you avoid disaster.
Does volkswagen golf 6 have that system?
In my BMW X5 E70 and E60 5er, I can shift to N whenever I want to…
Hard to find neutral? Are u americans all stupid or what? Jeez. If u cant find N, dont DRIVE!
Problem is, most latest transmissions are electronic too, so if the CPU is screwed it will not react, no matter how good youre at shifting automatics.
Pushing on the clutch is just like shifting into neutral. You’re still rolling. In a manual, I would first hit the hazards, shift into nuetral, then turn the key to accessory mode, then slowly pull the E-Brake.
People don’t know where neutral is?
Why would u be glad it an auto tranny? Alls i got is 5 speeds. Then all u do is push in the clutch. End of story
Ain’t your fault bro, don’t blame yourself. Shit happens.
damn i’m getting myself a german car
It’s an econobox, for crying out loud.
I get on the road pretty fast in my Opel Calibra v6 …
shouldve told them to get a scion frs. veloster is a fricken slowpoke
Nice center dash
i past my rebellious badboy teenage years. I would be happy with a new car that offers good mileage and 40 mpg is pretty impressive.
I test drove one today and was amazed at how well it handled and accelerated. If you don’t like this car then you’re just a hater. Its styling obviously isn’t meant to attract the conservative(boring) consumer. Most people are locked into their favorite car brand and hate on everything else, but I can tell you that you won’t find this many features for the price on any other car. Hyundai is setting the bar higher.
I test drove one of these and I couldn’t wait to get out of it. What an awful car. Absolutely no joy in driving it whatsoever. I ended up getting a Mazda 2 which costs $5000 less but is a much better car to drive.
@jimmikatt then clearly you haven’t had to.work within a limited budget and if yoy want to talk ugly then look at the Pontiac Aztec your not going to find a better combo of utility practically and deicent performance its not a rocketship but a turd to drive try watching the real top.gear on BBC america
I just drove a Veloster yesteraday. It’s a terrible car. Exterior is interesting, interior is nice, but it fucking drives like shit. Objectively it has decent acceleration and handling, but it does not feel enjoyable to drive. I couldn’t wait for my test drive to be over.
Just verified what I thought and the superbowl commercials were for the Veloster Turbo not the standard car. Look it up on YouTube, Google, wherever you want. Also, fast is a relative term. So my point still stands that you should drive a car and determine for yourself if it’s fast. Or you should read about acceleration times to see if it’s fast. Obviously your the stupid one for missing the point I made which is be an educated consumer. Don’t just go by one commercial.
Umm…. if you did not watch the Superbowl, they made ads on how its very fast. Also, the name veloster, derived from Velocity, yeah um. Bad Hyundai, and stupid daves2660
screw off
Be an educated consumer and stop your bitching. If you buy this car thinking it will be quick then you did no research and did not drive it first. It is not intended to be fast. It’s intended to be a unique looking vehicle that is economical. When you’re buying something, consider the intent of the product. Don’t walk into McDonalds, chow down on 5 Big Macs and wonder why your fat! If you’re disappointed by a product, chances are……………….it’s your fault for not educating yourself.
You must suck at driving. I have no trouble merging in with a Honda Fit and even with my Veloster =] Also, I live in Chicago
It’s definately not ugly. Haven’t drove it so i can’t say it’s a turd or not. But i am plenty sure it isn’t a major bore. the weight distribution is mostly towards the back end so it’ll be plenty tail happy meaning it will blow smoke up your ass if you want it to. Personally I hate Hyundais. If i wanted to spend my money on any asian car it’d be either a nissan or a mazda.
UNSAFE HYUNDAI MANUFACTURER DEFECT. Better Business Bureau Auto Line arbitrator Arthur C. Devine has determined that Hyundai has manufacturer defect of motor mounts. Documents to the arbitrator indicate this is an unsafe condition in that the suspension could separate from the vehicle. Hyundai is not safe. The BBB claim is HYU1216311 and phone 323-319-4280. From a May 12 hearing the problem is due to a unsolved constant vibration throughout the passenger compartment with the car idling in park.
This car is a slow hunk of shit. My tC rapes it.
I wish I could love a compact car and save on gas and depreciation. Unfotunately, I need midsized car power. Most compact cars get bullied on the road too much, and are tiring on the HWY on a windy day. The only eco based compact car that drives like a midsized sedan is the MK6 VW Golf TDIs. Too bad its priced like mid-sized sedans.
my bike make this piece of crap look like shit
It’s very clumsy, even if a won is inexpensive, how much is it never bought?
Im so lucky to be getting this as a graduation present tomorrow.
سياره رائعه وصغيره ورسميه وخفيفه
I will make this my Initial D car =D
hoy descubrí agua en el trunk de mi velozter alguien con este problema ?
1:55 “A manual 6 speed is the base engine.”
