    Talking New Owner from Houston, TX

    Hey people. I've been lurking around this forum for a while (before joining) while doing research on the car before I purchased. Lots of good info on various things here.

    I bought a 2013 Triathlon Gray Veloster with Style/Tech Wednesday. I was initially looking to get a white one, but I was made an offer I couldn't refuse. There was also the matter of having it driven in from out of state if I really wanted white. I didn't really want to go that route.

    Loving the car so far. I'm going through all of the bells and whistles of the car today and will post some pictures later.

    Hello to everyone in Houston!

    Welcome fellow Houstonian :-) I have the same color as your Veloster. I havent really seen too many velosters in Houston. Im surprised considering the dealers seem to sell them as soon as they get them.

    Did you get the manual or DCT?

    Thanks for the welcome! I've actually seen a few in various places (a green 2012 in Katy, two Vitamin C in the garage at the school I go to, and one other gray one close to where I live). I know, right? The dealer I went to (Hub Katy) actually had a white style/tech on the lot but it had already been sold.

    I got the DCT. Forgot to mention that. I've never had the opportunity to learn to drive a stick so manual was out of the question. Using the paddle shifters is fun, but I prefer to leave them alone.

    Thanks hsh.

    Octavio Cancel. Good guy. Straightforward with me through the whole process. Very helpful in getting me close to my monthly payment range. Awesome buying experience. No BS. Also, I'll never go to Ron Carter again. Crooks.

    Edit: I added a few pictures to my Garage for anyone interested.
