Great car and fun to drive

I can not say there is not any room for improvement. There is: the side mirrors directional pad do not light-up at night with the interior lights on. There is something that is disappointing: the front bucket seats do not say "Veloster" on it as it did in the 2012 model. This only shows up in the other trims. I do not have a need for all the bells and whistles just a fun driving car. I have told others that this car is for driving and not for sitting around looking pretty!

The Veloster N is a great car, but one that is going to appeal most to those who prioritize the driving experience over other attributes

My car is the Veloster N...the Veloster N is a 250 horsepower (N) or 275 horsepower (N with the Performance Package) turbocharged I4 available only in a six-speed manual transmission (with a rumored wet DCT model in testing). It is nothing like the normal Veloster (which I've previously owned). The Veloster N looks quite a bit different, and drives so differently it is an entirely different animal. Subsequently, this review applies exclusively to the Veloster N. The Veloster N is a true niche car. It is made for those who value the experience of driver engagement, and it is oriented towards those who may wish to participate in motorsports. It is a whole lot of car for not a lot of money, and it is insanely fun to drive. Civil as the daily driver yet competent on the track, it's reasonably quick in a straight line, and quite fast when curves are involved. First, it is important to note the things that the Veloster N does NOT have, because it differs from many other cars. There is no option for: leather seats, heated seats/mirrors/steering wheel, automatic down passenger windows, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, garage door memory, power seats, or any driver assistance technologies whatsoever except a backup camera. The interior itself is functional-but-plain...and there is a whole lot of plastic. While other Veloster trims like the Veloster Ultimate offer many of these above options, the Veloster N offers none of this, and the only option available is the Performance Package, which exclusively adds performance augmentations. If having any of these luxuries are deal-breakers for you, or if you must have a super fancy interior, this is not your car. So why do I love this car so much? Well, you do get a 250 or 275 brake horsepower turbocharged Theta II engine that sounds so good that people struggle to believe that you are driving a four-banger. You get a six speed manual transmission that is executed flawlessly - the clutch is light but linear, the gear throws are short and solid, and the transmission is great for shifting whether you are in stop and go traffic or dodging cones. You get a performance-oriented suspension, brakes (despite using a floating caliper, the brakes are just outstanding), true (i.e., summer) performance tires, and infotainment system (with built-in track functions.) You can adjust the steering weight/sharpness, ride stiffness, engine throttle response, exhaust output, rev matching settings (which you can disable outright), traction control sensitivity, and limited slip differential settings (on performance package models). You get basic cloth seats, but ones with strong bolstering and an adjustable driver side lumbar support - so they are extremely comfortable and supportive. Oh, and you can adjust just about every setting in this car, down to whether the lane-change turn signal feature blinks three times, five times, or is disabled. You get an infotainment system and a dash cluster with center LCD that is responsive, intuitive, and truly integrates the cars functions - and a very good sound system for a factory unit. You get some cool-looking external changes (most of which are actually functional, such as intakes designed to redirect air to cool the front brakes.) You're also getting an outstanding steering wheel design (exclusive to the N), push-button start and key-less entry, a customized key fob with the 'N' logo on it, and standard LED (low-beam) headlights... The 'flagship' color of the N, Performance Blue (a really light shade of blue) looks amazing in person (pictures don't nearly do it justice) and it is a shade of blue that is unique from just about all other cars. All of this adds up to a really fun driving experience for a very low price. The N drops many amenities/luxuries and replaces them with performance features that someone who is looking for a driver's car is going to absolutely love...and doing this maintains an extremely competitive price. It is an immensely rewarding car to drive, and thanks to all of the adjustable settings, it can function as a refined street car for daily usage, and double as a track toy for the weekend warrior. Subsequently, this car is going to appeal to a very specific buyer. But for that specific buyer, this car delivers in all the ways that count. No one (myself included) thought that Hyundai could design a hot hatch this well on their first go-round...but they did. If you are shopping for cars in this segment, you should really test drive one to experience first-hand just how well the N like has taken on (and outdone) the competition.

2019 Veloster N review

Eco & Normal drive modes = Elantra ride quality...pretty comfy. Sport mode kicks it up a big notch, while 'N' mode makes you feel the need for a helmet and 5-pt restraints. The Most fun compact ever.

Thrilling ride for not a lot of money

Great Performance car for under 30k. Wish there was interior options. The Veloster N has an amazing exhaust that snaps, crackel, pops! Adding to the fun. Performance package with the e-lsd helps you hit the corners with confidence. Im definitely sold on this N.

Love this car. It looks great. Fun car to drive. Wish it steered better on highway. If you have big feet there is a wiring harness that catches your foot moving from the clutch peddle to the side. Wish it had fog lights

I had been a ford fan but that changed with my first Hyundai . Well built , As dependable as they get and you get more car for your money than most brands.

Veloster N is great practicality and fun in a small package!

I got the Veloster N because it offered the performance I was looking for in a practical form factor. The vehicle is small, but has very good room in the interior for passengers, etc. The car is very nimble and easy to drive; it is fun. I do wish the doors and dash were a nicer/softer material, but that is not a deal-breaker. The Infiniti sound system is great with Android Auto and Apple Carplay. I also wish the gas tank was larger, and that Hyundai would offer a AWD version of this vehicle.

I love my Veloster 2019

I am happy with my new Veloster turbo 2019, at the beginning I was expecting for something no good for me because it is a new model, but at this time everything is perfect, it is compact and fast, I always received complements.

I love this car

This has been one of the best car experience I have every had. The car handles curves like a motorcycle, plenty of get up and go , and sporty like a sports car. I bought mine brand new and I haven't stopped. Smiling since I bought it. All around a great car for the dollar.

Veloster Turbo

I love my veloster, I had a standard and traded for automatic as my drive was quite a bit of city driving. Stop and go I purchased snow tires and had no problem driving 35 miles to and from work. I definitely would recommend. Be sure to have sales person explain all options though !!

Great vehicle.

I purchased my Hyundai Veloster not knowing it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. My family and I really like how it drive's and it is great on fuel. Hyundai will be the only vehicle I ever own from this point on.

So in-love

I absolutely adore this car. It's fun, and it looks good. Makes people break necks for sure. It's very comfy and surprisingly roomy. I love everything about it. One of my favorite cars I've ever owned. I'm 21 years old and I'm very lucky to own something this nice and can say I did it all by myself.

Land rocket

This is what a real affordable sports car rides and handles like. Big brother approved and he sure knows about both sport and performance cars. Can't wait to move up to the N model. Good luck ford and gm, the ride is over.

R-Spec is great fun.

Love the feel of the drive, and love most of the flourishes that come with R-Spec. I do wish that there were options the the internal highlights besides yellow, but a small nit-pic for an otherwise great vehicle. An absolute joy to drive. Sure the N might beat it in pure performance, but the savings is significant, and only the most devout performance enthusiast would really feel the difference. If you are casual consumer that wants to feel (and look) like you're driving a sports car, this one is hard to beat.

Great!

My Veloster is a great car. The miles per gallon is wonderful. Around town I average almost 30 miles to the gallon. On the freeway is almost 40 miles to the gallon. It's, sporty and comfortable. I truly enjoy this car. I just wish they would make the Veloster in a convertible. It has the lines for it.

Hyundai Veloster

The Hyuandi Veloster is a great car and has some amazing features inside that takes it to the next level. It has gotten better with the exterior look over the years I have seen it out on the roads and I am very happy with my purchase of the Veloster.

2019 Veloster 2.0 - EXCELLENT!

I smile every time I drive this car! I'm 6 feet tall and I find the drivers seat to be very comfortable. The controls are very intuitive and functional. The 2.0 engine has enough power to make it interesting.
