The little car that CAN!

I often forget that this little sporty vehicle is only a 4 cylinder. It powers quite well for a 4 cylinder! It drags/delays when trying to quickly go from idling to "gun it" for city driving, but that's where I forget it's a 4 cylinder. It maneuvers as if it's an appendage of mine. I love the sporty look, and the sedan status for insurance. The 3 door is the most practical style for me. It sits low to the ground, as it should, but I often have to have the plastic bumper clips replaced. It would be more helpful and cost effective to have the bumpers attached with something more durable. The specific vehicle I have (2013 racer model) was abused and used for speed by its previous drivers. I may never have the alignment completely on target (tried several times). Even with this history, this vehicle gives it's all! It remains easy to handle and steer. Aesthetically, I like that the rear seats fold down for transport; I love the sun/moon roof; the interior; the automated display screen, hands free communication, bluetooth, and the rear hatch with window wiper! I do wish the windows were tinted. It gets hot in Oklahoma during summer. This vehicle definitely qualifies as one of, if not THE favorite I have owned (owned cars since 1995)!

My Veloster

Great little car with pep. I love the body style but have had to repair rims more than once due to blind spots. The fuel clutch is not necessary on the base model. The blue tooth will only sync with IPhone.

Perks of owning a Veloster

Love this car! My Turbo makes Pearl (named my car) zippy with so much get-up-and-go! It was VERY claustrophobic w/o having a sunroof, backup camera (difficult to see out of the hatchback) so I ended up trading in my first Veloster* for another w/Turbo and added features of the Ultimate Package (sunroof, backup warning sensors, auto headlights, navigation system w/rearview camera and 115V outlet) and this made all the difference in the world! Paddles are fun! Do wish the Veloster would have come with electric moving seats. I live in Hawaii so I was really disappointed that SIRIUSXM radio was not available here. Also, wish the seats were AC controlled. Heated seats are not necessary here but it was great while I lived in CA. The tire pressure monitoring system is cool. I get compliments on my Veloster Turbo all the time!!! **I'm still extremely disgruntled with the Dublin Hyundai dealership where I bought my first Veloster. They told me there was no other Veloster available w/the features I wanted so unfortunately for me, I bought the one they had. Then I happened to stop in the San Leandro Hyundai Dealership and just inquired about a Veloster with features I wanted and they found it about 200 miles away! We made a deal (although I lost a lot of money) and they traveled some 200 miles away to pick up the Veloster I wanted to begin with. The sad thing was that this Veloster was available the whole time.

Mini Killer!

I selected the Veloster Turbo over the Mini Cooper S based upon reliability and features. It really bothered me that the Mini could have timing chain and carbon build up issues and BMW just ignored them. Tells you a lot about how BMW views its customers which made me look at the competition. Hyundai on the other hand has a better customer service rating and warranty. I have driven Mini's on and off for years but when I got in the cockpit of the Veloster Turbo, I was impressed. The fit and finish was awesome and the feature content impressive. The test drive felt very similar to the Mini Cooper S which put a smile on my face. When I saw the price, I committed to buy my first Hyundai product. That has been almost three years ago and I love my Veloster Turbo more than ever. I get awesome comments all the time about the looks and quickness of my Veloster Turbo. This is the best kept secret in the small sports car segment. If you drive one and then look at the sticker price, you'll be hooked.

My 2013 veloster

I have really enjoyed my car. Gets great gas mileage. Handles easy. Fun to drive. I have 146 ,000 miles on it have replaced a fuel filter that was totally covered by factory and now CV axles, and was cover by after market ins, only paid deductible. Very much considering this car again. It's does have blind sports so teen age drivers be very careful!

Hyundai Veloster

The Veloster is a great car to drive. It's a 3 door hatch. Plus it's a fun speedy small car to drive in when passing slow cars in the freeway. Highly recommend getting the Veloster Turbo or R-spec but base models can be fun too.

Great jack of all trades

The hatchback looks sharp and has great mpg. Inside feels a little cheap (plastic door handles that flex a bit and mostly pleather) but looks great. If this car sold for a few grand less it would be rated 10/10. If you need a hatchback, this is a good jack of all trades (can haul some items, can do a quicker 0-60 and take turns, and can get good mpg). No regrets yet (3 years in).

Sporty(ish) Compact

This car is fun to drive. It has a good mix of liveliness mixed with driving comfort. It's not a Sports car, or 'Hot Hatch,' more than it is a sporty hatchback that has all the creature comforts you could want.

Veloster 2013

Overall, I love this car. There are only two thing that I wish were different. 1) The driver seat belt chokes me so I am constantly tugging at it. I really hate this. 2) The clock does not keep time. On average, it loses about 4 minutes or more per month. I love the 3rd rear door as this makes it totally easy to get things in and out of the back. It is fun to drive and the sound system is the best!

2013 veloster

The car looks sexy and fun to drive. Car rides hard and you feel every bump in the road. Car is a little under powered. Handles very poor in the snow. After a long drive your arms are tired from the work out of handling the car. you have to drive this car constantly. Has lots of bells and whistles that make it fun.

Love this car

This is a great fun little car. It's very user friendly when it comes to the controls and everything is very good. Did have to get use to only having the one door for the back seats but where it's just me and my daughter it's perfect.

2013 Veloster Turbo

Purchased new and now have approx 89,700 miles. Minimal costs for maintenance to date outside of the normal Tires, Oil, Tuneups, etc... Despite being very low profile tires (second set just installed), the Kumo standard equipment tires work very well in ALL SEASONS with good mileage and EXCELLENT TRACTION EVEN IN THE WINTER. The car handles like a go cart- responsive steering, decent acceleration (small engine) and good brakes. Paddle Shifters are a blast. Not fast like my M3 but they work! The only complaints are with: 1- Dash Display (very poor visual interface). Take a look at a Honda Pilot and you see a good implementation: you can choose to view a Clock at all times, for example, instead instead of the Hyundai ugly logos representing items Yes you can display the clock, but it goes away in seconds. 2- Bluetooth Connectivity issues. Repeatedly back to the service department to repair. The repair personnel were very friendly. But the radio was NOT replaced per request and we struggled through numerous updates. That took at least 1.5 years to resolve. 3- Suspension rattles, component replacements required. Warranty and recall repairs very good. The dealership employees are always helpful and friendly. WE LOVE OUR VELOSTER TURBO!
