Camry vs Veloster - first car?

I am looking to buy a car for my son who is turning 21 soon. He currently drives a 2004 Toyota Camry. We are looking to replace it with a Toyota Camry Atara SL with all of the options he could ask for, but he is leaning towards a Hyundai Veloster SR Turbo, which would cost about the same. What would be your advice?

Both cars are good ones, the Camry Atara is a more practical choice and would probably have a better resale when you want to sell it in the future, but the Veloster is a sportier car. The choice is really an emotional one and the 21-year-old wants the sporty choice. You won’t go wrong with either car.
