THE COUPE WITH USEABLE REAR SEATS

You could argue that the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ are the last bastions of attainable four-seat coupes in Oz, but fact is they offer marginal ‘plus-two’ capability. The Veloster, on the other hand, was surprisingly practical – no doubt helped by being front-drive – and could actually carry four adults (at a pinch), with a decent amount of luggage in its 303-litre boot, for less than $30K RRP if you bought the base 110kW/180Nm 2.0-litre manual.
