00:00 - Intro

00:30 - Genesis G70

The engines on offer include a 2.0-liter turbo-four and a 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6, both mated to 8-speed automatics. Features include LED lighting, an 8-inch touch screen, electronic shifter. available 15-speaker Lexicon audio system, Apple CarPlay, and a heads-up display. Safety features include the usual set of airbags, ABS, ESP, and tire-pressure monitor, as well as active-driving aids such as adaptive cruise control with auto-braking, lane-departure warning, etc.

01:39 - Hyundai Veloster N

A turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four with either 250 or 275 horsepower is standard equipment, and the suspension is stiffened for sharper handling. Previously available only with a manual transmission, the Veloster now offers a dual-clutch automatic transmission option to broaden its appeal. It may not be as pedigreed as rivals such as the VW Golf GTI or Honda Civic Type R, but the Veloster is the kind of upstart we like.

There is an addition of an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission; a six-speed manual was previously the only transmission choice. This new transmission promises quicker shifts and comes with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. There is also a performance package that adds extra horsepower (for a total of 275 hp), an electronic limited-slip differential, 19-inch wheels and summer performance tires, a variable exhaust-valve system, and upgraded brakes.

03:16 - Kia Stinger

The all-new Kia Stinger came out as a 2018 model year and is the Korean brand's grand tourer model on offer. Under the hood, the 2020 Kia Stinger gets two engine choices - the standard engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder motor and the higher option is the 3.3-liter turbocharged V6 unit. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 2020 Kia Stinger comes as rear-wheel drive standard and optional all-wheel-drive. Standard features include power steering, power windows, electric mirrors, cruise control, remote locking, central locking, leather seats, and 18-inch alloy wheels. 

04:35 - BMW 2 series

Sadly, the excellent BMW M2 doesn't slot in under $50,000, but both the four-cylinder and the six-cylinder do. My pick is actually the 235i for its sweet-handling and punchy 3.0-liter turbocharged motor which offers nearly the same amount of performance as the M2. The 2-Series might be BMW's cheapest car, but it's one of my favorites, too. Replacing the 1-Series Coupe, the BMW 2-Series made its debut as a 2014 model year. In 2018 it got a slight facelift and updated interior. Variants sold in some areas are 230i and M240i. In other regions, the models sold include the 220i and the M235i. The 220i coupe comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, mated to an 8-speed automatic. The M235i coupe comes with a 3.0-liter turbocharged 6-cylinder, again with an 8-speed auto or a 6-speed manual. The 2-Series will be offered in basic, Sport Line, Modern Line and the M Sport trim. The M235i only comes in M Sport trim. The M Sport gets retuned suspension and sits 10 mm lower, riding on unique lightweight 18-inch alloy wheels.

06:17 - Honda Civic Type R

You might think a 306-hp front-wheel-drive car would be a mess, but oh man, it isn't. It's an absolute monster, with tons of track potential. The front-drive hot hatch is also saved from the dreaded torque steer, and its ride doesn't have the rock-hard tendencies that the old Ford Focus RS had. In fact, Honda could even be called civil if it weren't for its gratuitous styling. Still, the 2020 Civic Type R is a generational talent that is affordable, fun, and practical.

It also adds synthetic engine noise that is said to alter intensity with the different drive modes. The Type R's interior is rated R for scenes involving gratuitous red accents and obscenely comfy racing seats. Although the styling isn't subtle, the interior relies on Type R trademarks and racy materials to highlight its sufficient passenger space.
