What was your very first car?
A Nissan Micra, I got it when I started working in TnaG.

What do you like about the Veloster?
It’s sporty and it has a different look. But it feels sturdy and tough as well. The boot is deceptively big.

Any  funky features?
The two doors in the front, one door in the back is a new one on me! The hidden handle also means it keeps it’s clean lines, but you have the practicality of decent back seats and crucially, safe access to them.

Describe your style
Modern Classic

Does this car fit with your style?
I hope so! 😉 To me it’s a combination of the look of what works in sporty styling but it’s also strong and practical and it has individuality.

Who would you recommend this car to?
Anyone who enjoys a powerful drive that’s sturdy, well designed and attracts a bit of attention.

What do you never leave home without?
My iPhone! Correction, I have left without it, but had to go back, I just couldn’t manage.

Who would be your dream passenger?
My girlfriends and sister are great passengers, we always have loads to talk about – and we laugh so much together you never feel the journey!

Ideal road trip for the Veloster?
I have been to Connemara in it a few times and I love spins, so anytime I’m throwing a bag in the boot to head off I’m more than happy!

What CD are you listening to in your car?
Mostly, I plug my iPhone into the car and my music varies all the time.

Describe the Veloster in three words
Stylish, Safe, Trendsetting
