Overall very happy

This is my second one. Couple of issues, paint on hood chips easy, cover on top of radio needs to cover glare on screen better. I do feel black rims would look better on the vehicle. Blue link should not cost as much as you charge

Not a bad car.

I am a longtime Mitsubishi driver (2007 Eclipse and 2011 Outlander Sport) after a deer destroyed the Outlander I needed a new vehicle ASAP. The Veloster looked great, and I know people who have owned a few with no issues. The price was right so I bought the Veloster... a few months in I can say I'm a little disappointed in the overall power, but everything else is great.

What a car

Probably not the perfect car for everyone, but for me, it is the perfect car, from ride to features, to just plain driving fun. I could go on but, at 65, I've bought a lot of cars and this has been the best car I've ever owned. I have always owned BMW's and Saab's, but I would not trade my Veloster for any other car I've driven and the service experience was just as professional and enjoyable as buying the car, driving the car and enjoying the car. Thank you for making such a well built and enjoyable car.

Veloster 2017

I am extremely happy with my Veloster. Since I am 6' tall & 68 yrs old, I hated selling my 2007 Miata convertible, but knee & back issues were taking their toll getting in and out. My mechanic was a head mechanic for Hyundai for over 10 yrs before opening his own shop & thoroughly recommended Hyundai, which has become the affordable Honda. Like my old Honda & my wife's Honda, they will last for many miles as long as you maintain your scheduled services. I didn't want a box car that looks like everyone else's, so when I heard about the Veloster I felt I found my larger size Miata. I can comfortably get in/out & have a modern look with features I never had before, plus the warranties are the best in the industry.

EXCELLENT

THE VEHICLE IS GREAT BUT SURVEYS ARE TOO LONG TOO TOO LONG. MAKE YOUR SURVEYS SIMPLE YES OR NO BUT DO NOT MAKE THEM WRITE SOMETHING JUST TO FILL THE 200 WORDS. I NOT BACK AT SCHOOL. THIS IS CRAZY. BIG TIME CRAZY

I really love my Hyundai Veloster 2017

At first I was not sure about my decision. But a couple of months later I can say was a great decision to choose my car. It’s cute, and sexy! I like it. I enjoy to drive it! I saw reviews on internet, i was reading about this car, but when I saw it in the dealership, I got impressed. Nice design, nice features, very sporty and this car is reliable.

Sporty and Fun!

Love the look of the Veloster, it is a vehicle that does get 2nd looks and questions. I would like to see it offered with 6 cylinders, w/o turbo. I'm not looking to wow anyone, just have a bit of get up and go. I can it my putput mobile. I'm accustomed to large vehicles with 6 cylinders. If you never had that before you most likely will not miss it.

DO IT!

The car is literally great! highly recommend to anyone. It runs smoothly and still runs perfectly even if a lot of mileage is put into the car. It's spacious and all the extra technical features run quickly and efficiently.

Well made

It has been a year since I purchased my 2017 Veloster. Everything is running well with no problems. I enjoy the handling, good mileage, and my grandsons like it as too. They say it is Papa's race car.

Best car ever

This was my first car that I had then I want to a Jeep and totally missed the veloster so went back to it and love it even more. It’s great in gas mileage and can carry a lot more than you think. It’s a reliable car

I love the car it drives good but it doesn't have any power I love the blue tooth and remote start and sun roof plus the style of the car but what really attracted me to the car was the start 3rd door.

Veloster

This is my fourth Hyundai vehicle. Have always received excellent customer service! Thank you!!! The only item I would make an adjustment to is the seatbelt for driver. It doesn't stay where I like it.

The Dual Clutch transmission ruins a really good car.

The car is comfortable, nimble, fun, and attractive. There is so much to enjoy about this car that I'm upset that I dislike it so much. I do all city driving and get all of 17 mpg, no I'm not driving like a maniac, that's 100 percent on the DCT. Acceleration is anemic at best, auto shifting is smooth but comes at terrible times. When it downshifts into first from second, it rev matches so slowly that I think it's waiting for me to change my mind that the throttle position and speed of the car is really a first gear want. My wife has a 2012 Elantra where horsepower, torque, and weight are similar enough to be close in performance but it's nowhere near. I have talked to her about trading cars, legitimately, and she wants no part of driving the Veloster every day (because of the transmission.) Nearly every car I have ever owned, I'm 43, has had lower horsepower than the Veloster so, I'm plenty familiar with the performance I should expect. Now, for those of you that are still skeptical of my credentials as someone to tell you to stay away from any Hyundai DCT, I've driven a manual since I was 19, I deliver pizza and have for 25 years, and have been an avid car guy my whole life. What the DCT does is fully engage the clutches at idle and it has to build up steam from there, no other transmission does this. In a manual transmission you usually slip the clutch until fully engaged at say 1000-1200 rpm for a normal takeoff and a performance take off would have the engine speed higher. A regular automatic transmission would have the torque converter to serve that same function, resulting in the engine using more of the available torque to get going. The DCT could actually do this, it is in fact using clutches to do its job and the computer could be programmed to provide a slight slippage to put it in a better position to putting down the torque it does have. They don't do this because it would cause those items to more of a maintenance item, like a regular clutch is, and removing the whole setup and digging into it would cost thousands of dollars, so they do it the safe way. What this means is that a DCT transmission is so bad that it provides all the terrible traits of both the automatic and manual transmissions, while not really having an upside because speed of shifts isn't even particularly good on these economy cars because the standard public doesn't like that fast and hard shifting. I was positive they would get rid of them in the newer models, because it's so terrible of a transmission that it's not worth even trying to fix, but they have doubled down and put them in even MORE of their lineup. I wasn't aware of all of these downsides when I purchased this car, the test drive doesn't provide a way to see how the car will work in traffic or in an emergency situation where you have to accelerate quicker than you expected (remember that stupid downshift issue, that WILL get you in trouble.) Buy a Hyundai, stay FAR away from any vehicle with this God awful transmission.

Love it

I did not think I would like a car this size or style. But it has grown on me in the 4 months I have had. It's ease of drive and options are very good. It is great on gas and drives really well and has really nice comfortable seats for long drives.
