Disappointed in this model

We traded our 2014 Veloster "up" for a 2016 Veloster. After 2 months, we returned the 2016 and traded it for a 2016 Sonata. The differences from the 2014 to the 2016 we very disappointing. The turbo lag was VERY prominent, and I did not want to pull out in any traffic as the car would take 1-3 seconds to actually move after the pedal was depressed. The engine did not allow for downshifting using the paddle shifters or sport mode shifter. (We were told this was a safety feature that was added). The "tweaks" that were made to the transmission - going from 6 spd to 7 spd - were disappointing and actually made the car not fun to drive. We have never been so disappointed in a car.

its missing a door

Third door being on passenger side annoying. Had to replace entire transmission with less than 2000 miles on it. Rough ride, kinda gutless, very poor visibility in blind spots! Not much cargo room at all!

Slug

This vehicle can't get out of it's own way. I nearly got hit several times just trying to merge into traffic. Plus it has a terrible blind spot on the passenger side.

Falling short

These cars were never built for any kind of performance neither were the engines these cars cannot handle any kind of torque and or power as they are falling apart faster than Hyundai can keep it repaired I've had this car in the shop for blown motor leaking windshield extreme rough idling and turbocharger surging this is a 2016 Hyundai Veloster 1.6 L Turbo

Not good

Had one year has been in shop 10 times for warranty issues. Everything from oil leaks to electronics. There is enough road and wind noise it is hard to carry on a conversation in the car. The paint is thin and not hard. It easily chips and scratches.

Dual clutch nightmare

If it’s a 2016 turbo, don’t do it. Just don’t. Huge issue with transmission and it’s extremely dangerous. The transmission is not right. Car stalls randomly during normal driving conditions. But it does not create any diagnostic errors. It stalled on an incline last week, and I started rolling backwards like it was in neutral and would not shift. It also stalled ramping onto interstate. I nearly caused a pile up. It was close call, too close for comfort. If it wasn’t for the transmission issue, I’d buy another one in a heartbeat.

Dual clutch sucks

Had a sonata before this veloster, sonata was a great car. Had no problem with that car. But the veloster with the dual clutch sucks. My 23 year old daughter loved the looks of it. But now that she has had it for 2 years, she hates it. Nothing but problems with the clutch on the car. Back to the dealership twice already. Still not fixed. They can't seem to find the problem, but it's there. Would never buy another car with this clutch, transmission set up.

If I could give it half a star I would

My 2016 Hyundai Veloster has had a new stereo, shift actuator, transmission and now TCM put in it just since April. I bought the car brand new and have had various issues with the transmission and original stereo. Thank god I have recorded them on my phone. It took Hyundai almost the entire month of April to fix the stereo and my car has been back three times to get the transmission to work, and I still don't know if the problem has been fixed. I am afraid to take the car outside of the city of Dayton for fear I won't be able to drive it back home and will be stuck and unable to get a tow truck at night or on Sunday.

Love my Veloster but not it's transmission!

I really enjoy driving my 2016 Veloster. Purchased it brand new with all the bells and whistles. It's the turbo model with the dual clutch system. It drives and handles like a champ. The only issue I'm having is the transmission stalls all the time between 2nd and 3rd gear. Hyundai technicians have told me on 4 occasions that they've been having problems with this transmission from the factory. I'm at a loss here because I have a great warranty but nothing can be done about the transmission. Time to consult an attorney!

Worse car I have bought

25k miles and has seen the shop more then all of my previous cars before. Hyundai has not answered my emails or calls now for.the last 2 weeks. As a whole company I'm am severely disappointed in the service I have received. I have over 1000 in expenses due to dealership flaws and manufacturers defects. Do your research and make sure this is exactly what you want and need as a car before you jump into one.

Lemon

My Veloster has brought me to rock bottom. After being talked into voluntarily repossessing my 2008 Hyundai Accent to get the new Veloster by the sales person was the worse thing I ever did. Breathing in gas for months. Taking it to dealers to tell me nothing was wrong with it. I was rear ended in it and attacked by the driver. I hit a rabbit. Front and back bumper is what kept you from buying it back because you wouldn’t just repair the car out of the funds you were returning back to me instead of repurchasing it. So thanks for the check to keep the car but still making payments and just picked it up from the dealer for the 13th time since I’ve had it. Third engine. Didn’t have my car for two and half months. People constantly ask me what’s going on with my car. I’m embarrassed. No one can understand why you wouldn’t buy back the lemon from me with the minor cosmetic damage or why you are spending so much to keep fixing this car when it seems like it would’ve been cheaper to buy it back or to give me a new car. After being turned away from two other Hyundai dealers because they could never properly communicate with me or fix the car I found a Hyundai dealer in Henderson that helps with rental and doesn’t tell me nothing is wrong with the car. My Veloster has given me nightmares. After being harassed by the manager at abc Hyundai I checked into the hospital because my blood pressure was so high. I just wanted my car fixed and they were nothing but mean to me. I am disgusted by Hyundai.

So far not so good!

Certified Pre-owned Hyundai Veloster with 36,000 miles. So far a new transmission, that took way longer to fix than it should and the communication during the process was poor at best. More issues with the transmission after replacing, as well as other issues. Took it back to the dealership to have them look it over and make sure it was all good before my daughter drove it off to college. Less than a 1,000 miles into the trip, my daughter's Veloster had to be towed, because it broke down! What a lemon!

2016 veloster turbo

Alright. Build quality is poor. Transmission is poor. Miss drive by wire throttle. Tire sidewall to small for real world driving. Like interior styling. No independent rear is poor quality. Space is unexpected big with rear seats down. Over all wish I woulda went with Honda/Toyota. Hyundai looks good on paper comparison, but cuts corners on to many things.

Veloster

I like the body style and inside appearance of the Veloster. I was disappointed in the lag at take off. I thought it being a Turbo and front wheel drive I would have the take off speed but it's just not there. If the car performed as good as it looked, I would be really happy with it.
