I love my car!

I have had my Veloster for almost 4 years now and I absolutely love this car. I commute 25 miles each way to work every day and wanted a car that was fuel efficient, had enough pep to handle the highway, and had some techie features. The Veloster fit the bill. I love the size and economy of this car, not to mention the style. I have not been disappointed in this car at all. I will buy another one after I go for a while without a car payment.

Perfect car for me

I'm so happy with my Hyundai Veloster! I truly enjoy getting behind the wheel each and every time. I always receive the nicest compliments about my car. From the external body style to the detailed interior, as well as underneath the hood, Hyundai has made this car a true winner!

Slow car

The car is painfully slow, quality interior is okay but tends to be scratched easily, clutch is as not made to stand the test of time, have issues wt the engine, which was replaced under warranty. Not worth more than 20k wt tech package.

Various Issues - Current is Driver's Side Door Handle

What I'm disappointed in is the fact that the door handle is peeling off and has cut me several times when opening and closing the door. Also my brakes failed and that was the reason for my last visit. My steering wheel had to be replaced a few months after I bought the car as it was peeling. The navigation system also had to be replaced as it quit working. It is now starting to do the same thing with being slow to come up after starting the vehicle.

2012 Hyundai Veloster 6-speed manual

I love my car! I have put over 85,000 miles on it since I purchased it; however, every time I get in to drive I am excited. It is a great little car - runs and handles well, very comfortable and a great sound system! Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sporty economy vehicle

Good car, just has some mechanical issues

I bought a manual 2012 Veloster, totally against my principals of never buying first generation anything. I will start with the driving experience itself: I love it! Its fun and I think plenty comfortable. There is some road noise, but pretty normal for a car in this class, but the steering is so tight, which I love and the turning radius is amazing compared to my last car. The problem is, I bought a new car to minimize repairs and unforeseen costs. I have been pretty strict with the maintenance routine and always have the recommended factory maintenance done. The car has still had some issues, however, and weird ones not from regular driving wear and tear. I had to take it to the dealer twice because the temperature gauge told me that the car was overheating, when it was 60 degrees and I had literally driven it across a flat parking lot. The touchscreen display does not work when it is remotely warm out (like above 72 degrees) and although I have reset the clock quite a few times, it speeds up. So if I reset it to the correct time right now in a month it would be 5 mins fast, and in a few months in would be 20 mins fast. There are a few other quirks, none of which make the car undrivable, but it makes me very scared for the kinds of problems that might arise in the future...when the car is NOT under warranty any more. I will say that Hyundai has never given me a hard time about repairs covered by warranty, I have had friends with other brand cars that will make all kinds of excuses to not cover repairs under warranty. Honestly, I think if I had stuck to my usual MO and waited another year to buy the car, after all of the first model quirks had been worked out it would be an amazing car for the value. Unfortunately, I think I got a bit of a lemon.

Awesome car

This car gets great mileage without sacrificing style and comfort. You don't have to drive an ugly car in order to save money. This car is very reasonably priced, looks great, handles well, and has all the cool features you would want.
