Fun to drive and looks great

I first saw a Veloster several years earlier and waited almost too long, since they just stopped making the N version. DCT so my wife can drive at times. My first 'performance' car. I changed to 18" wheels to get a bit better ride. A bit more of some sound insulation would be nice and I wish I could have gotten heated seats and steering wheel.

great car with a few nagging issues

I love driving this car. I love the nimbleness and pep that this car brings to the road. But as fun as this car is to drive, the nagging issue that are not resolve and the support of Hyundia customer service make this purchase a big regret. First the lane assists not working when you dump the stock Pirelli tires. What we discovered, is the road noise of other tire manufacturers, make your vehicle think there are other vehicles on both sides, making the turn signal, a constant chirping in your ears. Hyundai's only solutions is going back to Pirellis. I have spoke with my dealer and customer service. Hyundia customer service is rude and useless. Dealers service has great but still have no solution and states they are waiting on Hyundia for a fix. 2nd my horn stopped working at 20 to 30k miles . The horn was replaced, and the issues is back after 64k. 3rd, making appointments with any Hyundai dealers is an act on congress. they are always booked. I only have this issue with Hyundia. I have very tight schedule. I never have issues with my Nissan service dept. 4th, the tire repair kit is a cheap way to Hyundia saving money. I used it and it did noting form me. I had to call roadside assistance. I then asked my dealer to install a spare tire kit. The dealer purchased the so call kit but a year later when I had a flat tire, and realized the tire would not fit over my brake calipers. Now I'm angry. I'm on the side of the road with a useless spare tire I purchased from my Hyundia dealer, at a premium rate. Come to find out when I go back to the dealer, Hyundia does not make a spare tire kit for the Veloster N. I had to purchase an aftermarket spare tire. I'm still waiting for Hyundia to reimburse me after 6 week of turning in receipt. So I would think Hyundia maintenance dept should know their vehicles, right?

Perfect car for me

On the track, the commute, running errands, or going to car shows I've loved this car from day 1. Modding and servicing the car myself has been fun and made me a better, more attentive driver. Long live the hot hatch!

Great fun car

Too bad they discontinue the veloster . But overall I would recommend the car for the price and options . Great styling and bang for your bucks on performance. Easy maintenance. I would recommend replacing original tires with more cushion.

Was a great ride, taken out too early by a deer.

Great car, good fun. Bad High Pressure Fuel Pumps, and stock Pirelli Tires.Gone too soon from an unavoidable 12 point buck. Great fun in the turns, had most cars in the straights as well. N line is best line.

Fun car to drive great gas mileage when driven on the highway, Hatchback design, I can fit my bike in the back with the back seats folded down. The stereo sound is very good, Handling and cornering is excellent. Brakes are very good.

Fantastic horsepower per dollar

The Veloster N is the God-King of the underdogs. Everyone wants to hate it but time and time again it proves it's the better car. This may be the last true drivers car the runs on pump gas, and that makes me sad. Keep car culture alive folks!

Fun and Easy to drive!

This vehicle is fun sporty and has a decent aftermarket for customization. Pops and Bangs always put a smile on your face! It always fun to toss into the corners. The compliments on the performance blue paint are nice as I love the color myself.

The fastest most affordable HotHatch

0-60 in 4.8 seconds and handling that competes with cars 10k more while still offering a fantastic safety suite and enough space for any adventures you go on. While offering great MPG that won’t burn a hole in your pocket.

No other vehicle like it - THE Veloster N (RIP)

If you are reading this, you already know that USA does not care very much about hatchbacks or the "Hot Hatch" style like the rest of the world. As such, the Veloster N is no longer being produced. We mostly buy pickup trucks and SUVS. Getting an actual manual transmission is also becoming harder to find in new cars (but the DCT is faster). If you have any interest in hatchbacks and cornering feel for a reasonable price = this is your car. The turbo charged engine and adjustable exhaust sealed the deal for me. It is unique in appearance, funky (a 3-door) and different = not everyone's cup of tea and not likely to be seeing tons of these on the road. Get one while you can and enjoy a truly golden age of driving that may not be around for much longer. So much today isolates and insulates. This is much more engaging, raw and real. Kona N and Elantra N are now the only comparable vehicles (replacement) to the Veloster N.

Very fun vehicle but far from perfect.

I like my.car bit for the price it should have been so much better. First I love the mobility and exhaust sounds. What I hate is the road noise. Over 40 miles an hour, the radio sound horrible. Also I have the plastic every where! For 36k I should have something south better tha soft plastic

Excellent Hot Hatchback

The N is an excellent hot hatchback, extremely quick acceleration, very precise handling and the exhaust sounds fantastic! Just sorry to hear that the VN will no longer be produced after 2022, sad indeed.

Car is fun to drive not to comfortable

I enjoy the car but the interior quality is extremely lacking compared to some other models that Hyundai makes. As well as being sort of outdated in the technology department with it's analog dash and limited features.

Hyundai Veloster N

I have had my Veloster N for a year. For the money, it’s difficult to find performance, space, and fuel economy in such a good package. This car is very reminiscent of how BMW’s used to be. Any of the N series of cars would be an excellent choice

QUIRKY FUN!

Absolute riot to drive! Tiny but packs a punch! The customization is really nice and changes vehicle's character with a simple button push. Acceleration and handling are very nice. Exhaust note is just amazing for stock.

Great

The most fun you can have in a new car at this price. It’s not perfect but st this price point it’s impossible to complain about a car that can perform this well, even on a track. While also bringing home groceries.

Fun to drive hot hatch

Very fun to drive. Good acceleration and handling with solid practicality. Exhaust sound has great tone and the cracks and pops are great. Valve exhaust is great when you want a quieter experience. Better smartphone integration would have been appreciated

Amazing car both to look at and to drive! It’s very quick, handles excellently, and the exhaust sounds amazing! Simply I wish they had taken a bit more time on the smaller details and offered more features in the United States.
