A Smoking Hot Update
Hyundai really stepped up to the plate with the Veloster 2.0. They have several levels of comfort to choose from, and I chose the 2.0 Premium. I moved up from a Veloster 1.0 2013 which I loved.
I didn’t know how much the state of technology changed and how Hyundai kept up with the changes.
The Premium includes an Infinity sound system that really delivers. It includes a sunroof, auto climate control, blind spot stuff, lane keep assist, forward crash assist (although mine doesn’t work). The suspension is a 100% upgrade as are the wheels and tires. Interior sound dampening is a solid improvement as well.
The blind spots are huge in this car, so if you’re not a professional-level mirror driver, you don’t belong in the driver seat. Unfortunately Hyundai didn’t work on the spongy brake pedal feel. I’m old school and want some anti-lock brake feedback from my pedal. But I don’t get it when I hard brake; all I get is a wet sponge.
But I love thus car. It’s an automatic for 98% of the time, and a paddle-shifting monster for those times when you need to hit 6,000 rpm in the first three gears.
