Never again

I won't be buying another Hyundai again. Engine issues (power stuttering), performance issues (poor road grip, loud shocks), The radio has a reset button (What? Why does it need that I wonder? Maybe because I have to constantly reset it due to bluetooth connection issues, radio station changing itself.) Driver's seat slowly lowers itself over time; I constantly have to keep raising it. Windows rattle when not in the fully raised position. Steering wheel has a tight spot when attempting to correct the constant drifting at highway speeds. This list goes on, but these are the most annoying.

Poorly made

It's very uncomfortable. Poorly made, noisy. Just did not like it. The Sonata is a much better vehicle. Maybe if I had not had a Sonata first it would not seem to so bad.

Slow acceleration

The vehicle looks really nice. The performance is very disappointing.

speakers suck $

My only issue is my speakers rattle and sound like their blown. This happened right from the start. The dealership said the factory used bad "glue" and took some of the speakers out and re-glued them. Helped a little now their all rattling again. Now that I'm out of the 50,000 mile warranty the dealership and Hyundai won't replace them. Even though thousands of customers are having the same issue. Pretty sad considering the sound system was almost a $2000.00 upgrade.

Not happy with my Veloster

Have had several issues with my Veloster. Some quite costly and shouldn't have had issues with given mileage on car. I will be very happy once car is paid off and I can trade in. Probably the last Hyundai I'll ever buy.

To many problems

It’s always been one thing after another. First 12 hours of owning it, it needed a new starter. Only drove it from dealership to dmv, then home, and then to work. It’s had TWO emissions problems, bad transmission, and then paint flacked off of it. I’m so over the car. Touch screen radio won’t work during the summer. Only good thing about my car is the gas mileage.

DON'T GET A MANUAL

This car has been great don't get me wrong but at 76K miles I am already in need of a new clutch which in my mind after having a Honda Civic and driving it well over 160K still did not need a new clutch after selling that vehicle. We don't drive it crazy, its not our first manual car so for it to go out so early is in my mind poor craftsmanship on the vehicle. If you get this car I recommend getting an automatic to avoid the early replacement. Gas mileage is great and the ride is good on the highway/city. Not bad for having a toddler either we just keep the car seat on the side with the 3rd door.

The car has too many minor problems. Engine problems from bad turbos (2 of them) to ignition coils. 3rd door won’t open. Gas mileage is subpar. Suspension stinks. Avoid at all costs because it’s not worth it

DO NOT BUY!!!

WARNING! DO NOT BUY A HYUNDAI** I hate this PATHETIC excuse of of what a manufacturer claims as a "dependable, America's, best warranty" I recently tried to file a claim for the first time in my many years of being a Hyundai owner. I purchased a 2013 Hyundai Veloster just a couple yrs ago with only 30k miles on it. My engine blew - connecting rod completely shot out the engine, then parts that flew off busted my gas tank too - everything beyond repair and need to be completely replaced. $5000 in damages that I have to pay, no thanks to this company. They said "mechanical failure" and this was MY fault! What the hell? What am I suppose to do - have my engine rebuilt every month to make sure it's still intact?? The damages are almost more than the car is worth! I have stayed on top of all my maintenance since day 1 when I purchased the car. Just last year, the catalytic converter went out - however (thankfully) was under warranty. I was travelling on vacay for the 4th - 3hrs from home, clear road, beautiful weather for a holiday and road trip, then all of a sudden I hear and feel a huge "bam" from the front and can literally feel under the car something solid ricochet all the way to the back, then I see smoke behind me, car obviously stalls, then I smell gas. If there had been one spark, I would've been dead! Thankfully a good samaritan came to the rescue telling "get out now!" Thus I did while 911 had been informed and on their way. Hyundai told me that this is a common issue with their cars too, though theres no recall and I'm 9000 miles above the powertrain warranty. Never had I had so many issues with a car than I've had with this one. When looking upon the list of recalls, there are SOOO many makes that have the EXACT same issue! And again, this car had about 70k miles Every call and "follow-up" keeps saying it's my fault! I have kept on top of maintenance (proof of every one). Believe me - I will blast this in every forum out there. I am beyond belief of their policies when it comes to this situation. The car should have been considered totalled, or atleast covered somewhat by the "makers".....they need to stop hiding behind the curtains and admit they're mistake - and take light of this in order to produce better cars in so this doesn't happen to other victims. Please do your research of other victims, lawsuits submitted (yet conveniently put off for yrs). Even the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recognizes this issue. Below is a glimpse into it.... https://www.thecarconnection.com/news/1122403_2013-hyundai-veloster-recalled-over-engine-stall-fire-risk HYUNDAI is absolutely WORTHLESS and INCOMPETENT!

Hundyia Veloster 2013

I'm not satisfied with it at all as I don't like the color, style, 3 door feature, lack of trunk space and the inability to open trunk lid or close same. Overall, I find the vehicle too uncomfortable

Worst car ever

Worst car ever!!! Do not buy a Hyundai save your money and save yourself the headache. If I could rate my car a 0 I would. HMA sucks. I wouldn’t recommend a Hyundai to my worst enemy. I can’t wait to get rid of my $22k paper weight.

2013 Veloster----just OK

Yes it has a incredible stiff ride, thought at first I could over look that. After almost 2 yrs I'm looking to get rid of the car. 6 speed manual is a dog on steep hills. It's way too easy to miss a gear and the damn this dogs out on you when you need it most. No spare tire but a can of fix a flat and a small air compressor. I just Hyundai tires, there is nothing cheaper on the market than those.

2013 Veloster Turbo

I purchased 2013 at the end of 2013, so the car was available a long time, and after I got it, I realized why. Ever since I purchased this car I've had problems with it's automatic shifting. I had it in the dealership several times for this but it was a design flaw and nothing could be done about it. We almost had a head on collision because of this issue, and I made my last appt on May 12, 2015. A recall had just been posted on May 5, 2015. It took Hyundai 1.6 years after my purchase to finally post a recall on something in the fuel system. My shifting issues are minimal now, nothing at all like they were before but I've already developed a permanent distaste for this car and will try to sell it in the near future. It's cute, though!
