This is my second veloster

I just love this car. Had a 2013 turbo then and a 2019 now. Very economic and spacious. I love my hatchback. I also love the fact they added back the emergency tire since my previous didn't have one.

Awesome!

I was hesitant to get a car that was not a Honda or Toyota. However, after meeting Joshua Matsushige, I fell in love with the Veloster. The humming of the motor is unbelievable and the stereo and speakers is out of this world. Normally I would have to install new speaker, but the speakers that came with the car is great! The only thing I would change is the reverse camera noise. It sounds like a bird chirping. Also, I would find a way to install sensors in the front of the vehicle. Other than that, I really love my new car! :)

Good Fun

It's a very nice stylish little car. I love the 3-door hatchback design and my 75 lb Anatolian Shepherd dog even fits in the back seat! It has decent economical performance and the electronic safety aids are well integrated. It's a surprisingly nice personal hatchback.

My 2019 2 liter Veloster

Love this car. I'm 72. When I was 18 I owned a 1965 Pontiac GTO with a 389 CID, 3-2barrel carb with mechanical linkage, 4 on the floor and 11/1 compression. YIKES! This Veloster is just as hot and handles SO MUCH BETTER, also, believe it or not, I'm getting about 30 mpg with mixed town and highway driving. My old GTO got 16 mpg.

2019 Veloster Turbo

If your looking for a fun daily driver this is the car for you. I love the new redesigned exterior and interior. Plenty of performance and creature comforts for me to be happy. Definitely would recommend this to anyone looking to get into a Veloster Turbo or if your looking to upgrade from the last gen Velosters.

I finally own my dream car... thank you Hyundai

I have followed the development of this brand and vehicle since 2013 when the MR concepts were getting headlines. I've watched hundreds of videos to see it like 24hr of the Ring and then when it was released on Forza Motorsport 7 it became my favorite car for beating my friends. Once the i30 N had a few reviews from reviewers I respect like Carfection, Top Gear etc.. I really started to get anxious for the release. Now I have my dream car and it is everything and more, I drive around with some heavily modded vehicles and they were impressed by the out the door performance. Owning one of the first of a performance brand has been a dream since I was a child and Hyundai didn't disappoint with this one. Kudos to the whole N Peformance Team & Hyundai Motorsports keep doing what you are doing!

Just so much fun to drive!

Look on line at YouTube reviews. You'll see this car is just the best fun for the money! So much fun to drive and you can select various levels of performance on the fly. If you do buy, get the performance package. The limited slip differential and rev-match are well worth the extra money.

Dumbfounded.

This car met my expectations and more! It's beautiful, it's fast, it's comfortable. Has an amazing sound system and I love the sunroof!! The Veloster is one hell of a car and I'd buy it again and again.

What a Great Choice!

I faced a bit of a dilemma when searching for a new car: I had a 2016 Mazda Miata sports car and an older Volvo station wagon, the Miata for fun city driving, the station wagon which I used for trips out of town and when I needed more storage space. When I lost the Volvo due to an accident not long before the Miata reached the end of a three-year lease, I was uncertain what sort of car might simultaneously serve the dual purposes of these two cars combined. After test driving a few crossovers and hatchbacks, which seemed to be the best possible compromise, I still didn't feel satisfied by any of them. Then, one day I saw a Veloster in my gym's parking lot and it was love at first sight. I don't recall even noticing one on the road before so I did some reading of reviews, went for a test drive and have been enjoying a love affair with this car ever since! It makes my Miata feel like a toy by comparison. Simply put, it has the spaciousness I sought and yet it drives like a sports car. I got the Miata to have a fun car but it can't hold a candle to a Veloster turbo! I love stretching out while driving, by reclining the driver's seat and pulling out the steering wheel as far as it will go. Sometimes when driving on an open road, I get the sensation that if I pulled a bit harder it would take off and fly! What I don't get is why I still don't often see other Velosters on the road.

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

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.

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 !!
