Fun, sporty and good gas economy
I purchased the re:flex variant (the special version during 2015 with a special interior and a couple of upgrades unavailable to the base veloster) and have loved driving it. I am 6'5" and don't have to put the seat back all the way, it's 3-door design leaves plenty of interior room for the driver and front passenger. That said, I have filled it with coworkers on lunch runs and other than jokes about how it must look like a clown car when we all get out, no one has really complained about not having enough space. It is a narrow car as well, gives plenty of room to maneuver in one's own lane.
My version doesn't have a turbo, though I personally don't find myself really needing it. The turbo version I test drove was a ton of fun though, plenty of power if that is what you are looking for and honestly a bit more than I needed.
It also comes at a great price. I'd recommend giving it a go, I got in it as a joke since I didn't fit in the Elantra and ended up buying it over the Sonata that I had originally been planning to get.
