perfect car for me.

Loved the fact there is a 3rd door so getting into back seat was relatively easy. Car held to road well and was fun to drive. The gas mileage for the first 9 or 10 years was very good. Short length good for parking in city where I live. On down side felt repairs especially parts were too expensive.

Things that make you go Hmmmm!

Several things have been replaced since I purchased the vehicle new. The Steering wheel, audio system, back lights on the driver’s side has a short in it, and now the Steering Column Coupler which is the most Dangerous of all the shortcomings of my Veloster.

Recall service bad fix

Don’t take you’re vehicle to get a recall service they are going to give it back to you worse than what you took it in for please watch out people when you take your vehicle in make sure your car has a test drive before they give it back to you

LOVE MY VELOSTER!!

If you have big dogs, this is the car for you! The back seats fold down and there is a huge space that comfortably holds two or three large dogs. My Greyhounds love going for car rides and can easily jump in and out. (Note, I had a mattress custom made to fit the back area;)

Love my Veloster

I have very much enjoyed my little Veloster! It’s a 2012 but runs awesome! Hasn’t been a problem! Still like new! If I ever get another car it will be a Hyundai! Joey Cortez has always been a great help to me! Always!

Great reliable vehicle

I first bought my veloster on realese in 2012. I couldn’t take it anywhere because everyone wanted to know what it was and had tons on questions about it. I still have it in 2020 and it runs great. Of course, you need to maintain it. The only drawback is the center touchscreen cluster is cracked and warped and will need replacement. This just happened a few months ago.

Fun little car

I have the manual transmission model with upgraded sound, moon roof, and half leather trim. It’s fun to drive because it’s so small and a manual. It has smooth steering and a comfortable drivers seat. One thing I wouldn’t expect is how little power it has. I sometimes have to downshift to go uphill. I should have gotten a turbo. The back seat is very cramped and accessed through a third door on the passenger side. The underperforming AC is my least favorite thing about the car. I’ve had my car maintenenced for it’s underwhelming AC but there’s nothing wrong... it’s just known to be bad. It stinks for living in Texas.

Veloster

I would never buy a Hyundai again, clutch was destroyed shortly after the warranty expired less than 50,000 miles. Plus they lied about the mpg. There are 2 spots that you can't see very well from the drivers seat.

Amazing

I own two Hyundai’s and I have to say the best one for my liking has to be my veloster. The veloster is labeled a sports car and you can certainly feel the difference from a regular car and it’s so economic compared to your average sports car. The interior is amazing and is very advanced, the overall finish of the car is amazing.

E.J.

I started on this journey the year 2012. I have been so bless to have a very reliable car. I keep my oil changes like clock work. No extreme major problems. My Veloster starts so quietly. The gas mileage is awsome. I have retired, but my travel experience going to and from my job has put my mileage with this car at approximately 100,000 miles. This car is still traveling strong I would honestly say you will never go wrong with a VELOSTER.

Horrible

I would advise not to buy this car. I have owned my car for 4 years and I've had nothing but problems. Worst car I have ever had. It needs constant repairs, from software updates to tires and shocks. Not worth the money.

2012 Veloster

This is a great car. I've had it about 6 years now, and I've replaced the starter and ac controls(all years had a recall for this, except my year, but it's the exact same part!). Other than that, this car has never let me down...until now. It's hard to put gas in it. It will take a dollar or 2 then cut off, then 60 cents, long story short..it takes about 10 MINUTES to put 15.00 of gas in the car!! And in the last 6 months the paint has started to flake off!! First the hood, and then bottom of driver door. And guess what?? Paint warranty runs out at 60,000 miles!! And getting just the hood painted is about 1,000 bucks just the hood!! My heart is broken!! I use to get complemnts daily on the color (marathon blue) and how clean my car was ALWAYS! But now I'm afraid to wash it, everytime I do I lose MORE PAINT!!

I love my Veloster

I bought my Veloster as soon as they took it from the tractor trailer truck and I have enjoyed driving it for it's gas mileage and style. I'm still asked about it from people in parking lots. I would buy it again and again!

I love my car!

Best car I've owned and fits perfectly for my lifestyle. I've had larger cars before and they were not the sporty type. Once I saw the Veloster, I decided to take a test drive. In short, I was hooked! I bought mine when it was first introduced to the public.
