Awesome Vehicle

This 2019 Veloster Turbo Ultimate is vehicle #6 purchased from Olympia Titus-Will. I like the vehicle safety factors, the vehicle's performance and stability, vehicle body style. I find the team at Titus-Will do all they can to make the vehicle affordable. Originally, I heard Hyundai made the Veloster for the young adults; apparently they did not realize the fun and speed of driving this vehicle. I am well into my 70's and appreciate how well this vehicle is made and performs.

Seats need more comfort

Happy with the Veloster. Other than seat comfort could be a lot better. Also the tires are junk. I already have a knot in the sidewall. For no reason. One tire had to be replaced because of a pothole. Nexxen website says they have road hazard. But would only pay for half the tire. I had to pay the rest. Tire had 1000 miles on it. According to there website it should have been covered. The tires are junk. And Hyundai needs to get Nexxen to stand behind there tires. Or go with another tire company. I have had way cheaper tires last a lot longer and backup what they sell. Real disappointed in the quality of tire Hyundai uses. And how they did not go to bat for me when I bought a brand new car. You should be able to depend on your tires for more than 1000 miles. When they are new.

2019 Veloster Turbo

The new 2019 Veloster Turbo is a great improvement over the previous model. The handling, the stereo, and ride comfort are much improved. One thing you have to do if you buy or lease this car is ask them to replace the terrible Nexem tires before you take delivery. Those tires should be on America's Most Wanted as a danger to society. I leased mine and had them install Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 tires before I took possession. Hyundai has a bad habit of using the worst tire manufacturers for their stock tires. Nexem, Kuhmo, and Hankook. All of those tire brands should be band for use on motor vehicles. Don't take my work, read consumer reviews and go to Tire Rack to see their reviews. Okay tires if you never have to drive in the rain or snow. Otherwise you are taking your life into your own hands. I had a set of Kuhmos on my first Veloster and replaced them within the first six months. Almost felt like driving a different car. Also, not big fan of Blue Link for remote start (no key fob option for remote start). Had problems with my 2016 being spotting to work, and now on my 2019 it has not worked from day one. I am 2 weeks now without my car at the dealership as the "Engineers" are trying to figure out the problem. Fortunately my dealership put me in a 2019 Sonata as a loaner and I am racking up the miles on their car instead of against my lease. Again, great car with the right tires and if they had real remote start instead of an unreliable Blue Link system.

2019 Veloster Ultimate Review

Nice car, good features, has a few issues, but it's not a Mercedes, so you get what you pay for. Not the type of vehicle I should be driving at this point in my life, but it will be the last. Next vehicle will be an compact SUV, AWD, etc. This is a good vehicle for people ages 25-35.

Over all sweet car

Headlights are too bright. Hear shifter freezes my hand in the winter, I assume will burn me in the summer. HVAC vents never go all the way off. Sunglasses rattle in the holder. Other than that, the car performs well and I get compliments daily on it. Love that it's a unique 3 door!

Nice car

The 2019 Veloster with the 1.6 7 speed dual clutch has plenty of power. I have 7500 miles on it and I have been getting any where from 30 mpg (1 week) to 42 mpg (babying it). I feel that the 2013 that I traded in handled better. This one has the multi point rear suspension in which the wheels may stay on the road better it seems to lean more because of it. The pedals, gas & brake are close together without much foot room. Since I am 6'5" I need more room. It seems that the car was set up for a smaller person. The heating & lighting is better than the last one.

Best bang for the buck sports car

I got the r-spec and it is an amazing first car. Lots of features and fun for the price. Everything works as it should. I couldn't of asked for a better car for the price. I really enjoy it. The styling is also very good.

Veloster N

I'm really enjoying my Hyundai Veloster N. It has a couple areas to improve in ( bouncy ride, tire noise, no front camber) but overall a very fun and enjoyable car! (I love the exhaust pops!). I'm very happy with my choice over the Civic Type R I was considering.

Fun entry level car

This car is a fun little hatchback that is great for cruising around town with the versatility of a hatch but still had the sporty look to it. Its great for going on trips with the turbo engine and still getting good MPGs around town. Having the third door helps if you have more then just one friend riding along with you.

When telling customers what they get for the duration of the lease be sure its actually what you said and not having customers getting upset about not getting what they were told . So I will be making a complaint.

Fun to Drive

This car is fun to drive and gets great gas mileage, but could use a few extras. It would be nice if the display was accessible and the passenger seat adjustable. The dual shifting makes no sense. Money used to create it could best be spent on adding amenities to an already nice car, making it even nicer without increasing the price.

2nd Veloster owner

I recently purchased the new 2019 Veloster N. This was my second Veloster, my first being a 2013 non-turbo loaded. I was impressed with the 2013, second year of the model back then, for it's space. The car is tiny to park and maneuver. BUT it is spacious inside for the driver and now for the back seat riders as well. They have improved most if not all of the main flaws from the previous generation. The back hatch is a lot safer now to close with passengers inside. The rear headroom has been increased because of that design change. I am 6 foot tall and have plenty of room in the driver seat. I have sat in the back as well with comfort. Head room was at the limit for me, but still manageable for the size. In regards to the handling/drive of the car, it is day and night compared to the older generation. It handles and sticks to the road exceptionally well. Fuel mileage is still great for a compact sports car. Exterior design from the base level and up is far better with a more sleek look. My only reason for not giving it a 5 star is I have noticed that the front door materials do not match up exactly. And I am picky with my details once I notice it. It still flows with the overall interior look, however knowing it does not match side to side drives me crazy. The interior could be a little better quality for what Hyundai is making in their entire lineup. However, I do understand being a budget fun vehicle, it is not built for total high quality. Being the N, the exhaust does sound amazing. It has great crackles and pops for being a stock car from Hyundai. Being their first main "performance" line-up, this exceeds all expectations I had. I could always ask for more power but the handling and response for it is funomenal. I drove it 6k miles from Chicago to California and back and I was blown away with the comfort, mileage, and smile that could not get off my face while driving. My only downside is that the N has a little too cheap of an interior where it vibrates/rattles under heavier acceleration from the exhaust. Under a normal Veloster trim, it would not do it. I have driven each trim and the N's exhaust is a little too much for the interior quality. Each trim level handles great, spacious, good mpg, and great design. Most people ask why buy a Veloster. I tell them why not? It is unique and stylish. Great small, spacious car with good gas mileage.

Cool, simple and fun

This is essentially what the original Golf GTI was to everyone in the 80s. Small, practical and a blast to drive around the winding roads. R spec or ultimate trims are the only ones worth looking at.

Fun ride - great gas mileage - overall great experience

Fun - and i believe this was the reason for its creation. The quirkiness of a 3 door is perfect.. My only concerns especially for the R-Spec is the hand brake and lack of a blind spot monitor.. This vehicle is synonymous for its driver side blind spot - the added bubble mirror helps but with todays tech and high demand for the BSM - this should have been a standard feature.. like the LKA and emergency braking on all its models.. its hinges on the border of dangerous when changing lanes. The hand brake - With a manual transmission - the hand brake is vital - this hand brake is poorly designed and at times rough to engage - so much so that i thought i had pulled sufficiently enough that exiting the car it began to roll back.. this is a no no and if i had encountered this during the test drive i would have moved onto another car.. enthusiasts would challenge me on this but i'll take the safety and ease of a push-button e-brake over wondering if i pulled it hard enough.. no brainer there. The face of the Veloster is a great look - however the hood needs a bit more beef - to compliment the rear.. overall this vehicle gets a B. Minor changes makes this an A.

Wonderful Car

This car is a complete blast to drive. A true drivers car that can be driven every day without breaking your back. I wanted a car that could give me that same experience that my "fun" car could ( lotus elise) does. The N is very similar to the Lotus, but significantly more comfortable for everyday driving. I love that if you wanted to you could get in and drive it like it needs/wants to be driven without constant modern annoyances, blind spot detection and various unnecessary tech, which is not needed for people who drive and pay attention. I am hoping that by time I am in the market for a new one, the horsepower gets bumped up to about 325, if so I probably would not think twice about picking up another one.
