Needed improvements but still a great car!

Picked up my veloster used with 24k miles. It’s a 6 speed manual trans version with upgraded interior and pano glass sunroof. The cars been awesome for the most part. Some minor issues but it’s a joy!

I like my Veloster, Hyundai very much. I always get compliments on it. It’s a great little car that I enjoy driving all the time.

It’s a very nice reliable car. Always starts up for me without a problem. One thing that is missing is an extra tire in the trunk, which the Volester doesn’t carry. There should be a latch to open the trunk from inside the car; the latch had to be replaced. All in all I enjoy driving it around.

Veloster raptor.

This is a fun car. It is sporty and great on gas. The third door is very good for extra passengers. It can hold 4 people comfortably And there is so much space to lug things with the hatch back and the seats down. I used this car to move from a big house to a townhouse. I went back and forth for 6 weeks moving all my stuff. No one could believe what the car could carry.

Love my Hyundai Veloster

Love my Veloster. Comfortable, very economical to run and reliable. It has all the amenities I need for the low low price I paid. Even though it is a subcompact, when you are driving, you feel like you are in a full size sedan.

Attention Getting Style But Needs Some Tweaking

I'd never heard of the Veloster until we saw one on the lot in 2012. The bright blue color caught my eye not to mention the unique three door design. We got manual transmission so it's a fun car to drive, and it always attracts attention. I love to go to estate and garage sales, and people are always amazed at what I can fit into the Veloster, thanks to the hatchback and fold down seats. At first, I was a little worried about the lack of a spare tire but after six years, I don't even miss it now. There are a couple things I wish Hyundai had designed differently, though. I owned a Hyundai Accent prior to owning the Veloster so I was used to being able to change light bulbs when they burned out. In the Veloster, I was dismayed to discover that replacing a burned out headlight cannot be done at home. What should cost just a few bucks for a bulb turns into $50+ because the dealer has to remove the front of the car in order to change bulbs! A burned out brake light can be replaced DIY - with a lot of effort and at risk of shattering the light cover (especially trying to do this outside during winter). Even after watching videos of people changing the brake light, I found it very difficult to take off the cover. Having a key fob was a nice feature until the battery died. Even after replacing the battery, the fob no longer works. I discovered that the dealer must reprogram the fob, and that's another $70 or so. Forget it. I'll use the key the old fashioned way. After six years, I've grown accustomed to using the side mirrors to compensate for the big blind spot. My husband dislikes driving the Veloster for this very reason.

Underpowered and lots of repairs

We bought our 2012 Veloster pre-owned and have spent a not so small fortune reparing it constantly. Probably in the neighborhood of $3,000+ now. The vehicle is underpowered, and unless you are really short, you will no fit in the back seat. Teenagers do not fit. Should have bought a Toyota.

My car's name is Beautiful and that is what she is - beautiful all the way across the board. It is like my hand is being placed in a soft leather glove by which other so desire to see and to have. Beautiful (my car) shines bright like a diamond every time she is on the road or just sitting parked.

My Hyundai Veloster

Six years in and still enjoy my car. The ony drawback is engine performance in hot, humid weather. Detonation problem I guess it's called, pinging describes it. Apparently, this is a common problem with a gasoline direct injection engine. I do what I can to alleviate it.

Fun, Fabulous, Frisky Sports Vehicle !

I've owned my 2012 Veloster for three years now and to my amazement, this car has everything I want is a sporty car ! I has the speed I need, its a real head-turner, it requires little to no maintenance and the few repairs that I've had to do have cost me a minimum amount. I would definitely recommend this little wonder toy to anyone of any age, and make sure you take it to Crown Hyundai, the family you can TRUST !

Bad purchase

The seats are extremely uncomfortable. The suspension is terrible. It bottoms out over speed bumps and the bumper comes loose. Huge blind spot is super dangerous. Slow pick up. Perhaps the turbo would have been better?

Best choice I ever made on a new vehicle purchase.

I love the Veloster. The look, the amentities offered, the price point and the day-to-day reliability of the vehicle should be commended. Every time I drive the car I get a thrill and a smile on my face as if I'm driving the car of my dreams. Mercedes, BMW and the other so called luxury sports sedans have nothing on this machine. If the American dealerships respond with the same professionalism and pride as Hyundai exemplifies with this product, they will find success a willing partner in their goal to succeed.

Fun car horrible transmission

This is a really cute fun little car I love its comfort amenities and the way it handles on the road what I do not like is the transmission it's horrible it jumps sometimes when you're sitting at a stoplight it feels like you're being bucked by a horse and apparently they can't correct it

My Veloster

I am a proud owner of a Veloster 2012, the first model released. I like its sporty look and its roomy interior. I did not opt for turbo and going from 0 to hwy speeds is a bit slow. My long-legged friends sit comfortably in the front passenger seat. My two-legged furbabies travel well in the back seat. I am most disappointed in the less than optimal mileage (I get about 30 mpg in city driving and up to 35 mpg on the hwy) when a higher mileage was promised when I purchased it. I have used Hyundai’s SHIFTRONIC manual shifting mode and paddle shifters once in six years. Perhaps, this impacts the mileage? Visibility past the right front passenger seat is obstructed by the thick frame. I am used to it now, but it took some getting used to. The back seats fold down, enabling me to fit my bicycle in the car after disassembling its front wheel. It is difficult, but possible, to fit a wheelchair in the back and a passenger in the front. The rear-view mirror has fallen off twice in one year, despite me hanging nothing from it and parking nightly in a private garage. Beware that the car does ride low. While I love this vehicle, my next car will have higher clearance.

2012 Veloster

There is not enough space to write about how well the unit has performed over these past few years. There were a few concerns in the first few months,but those were taken care of by Ford,Hundai in Hampton, N.H. . We will purchase a new Veloster spring of 2019.
