It's not a perfect comparison to put the 2020 Honda Civic Si up against the 2020 Hyundai Veloster N. The Veloster N doesn't have any exact equals in the field of small performance cars. So sometimes it's going to be the underdog — like if we ran it against the more powerful and more expensive Honda Civic Type R — and other times it'll have the edge, like it does here against the Civic Si.
Still, these two cars are close enough to make the comparison interesting. The Veloster N has an under-$30,000 starting price and a unique three-door hatchback style. Honda doesn't offer the Civic Si as a hatchback, but the two-door coupe (which sadly won't be back for 2021) projects a similar small-and-sassy sports car vibe. It checks in around $26,000.
So, Civic Si versus Veloster N. Which one wins?
