I purchased my veloster 9 months ago and the vehicle is in the shop every other month for a problem. I've gone past the dealer and still Hyundai Canada is not doing anything. Its ridiculous on how they can sell a lemon and not take responsibility for there default merchandise. I cant even enjoy my vehicle and making payments on a car that spends more time at the dealer then with me.I'm very disappointed in hyundai and the customers satisfaction is there thing bullshit. Its excuse after excuse and they lie about the work they claim they did on the vehicle. Im extremely frustrated and ready to take further measures.
Great driver's car, Style and Tech packages

I just turned 200 miles and the car is great. The shifter and clutch are light and accurate. The car is quiet and the ride is excellent. The car feels solid over bumps with no sqeaks or rattles. I thought the car would ride hard because of the 18" wheels and low aspect ratio tires but it is truly comfortable. I'm coming out of a 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman S w/manual and this car is so much better. The Mini was disappointing because of torque steer, rough ride, numerous squeaks and rattles and noise. The more I drive this car, the more I like it. The power is not as much as in the Mini but the car is surprisingly fast for the power rating. Drive this car before buying anything else.

Exciting exterior design is what drew my attention. And the high fuel efficient engine was what got me hooked. It's been about 2 weeks since I bought the car and I have been pleasantly surprised by the sporty handling. I have owned faster turbo engined cars that cost more but never had this many features. I love how frugal this car is on gas. The GDI engine was designed for regular grade gas and it is very efficient as well. I easily get 40 mpg on the highway and it seem to be the most efficient around 45-60 mph. I love how the 6 speed manual transmission shifter just slides and clicks into position. The clutch travel is very short and smooth compared to other cars I have driven.
First car to remember

I have had this car since 2018, it was bought nearly new in 2012-2013 by my mom as her car for a while. Never any major problems, we've only replaced the battery twice since owning it and still is reliable at nearly 72,000 miles. But it's just not very comfortable, the seats feel hard as a rock, and the car is a bit low on the ground(I'm 6'2" with long legs if y'all wonder), I also have the seat moved back to the farthest setting so my legs can feel comfortable with the pedals, other than that, it's still a very good and decent hatchback. I'm so glad I rank this as my main hatchback.

I love this car!! It is comfortable, stylish and love the touch screen. I have no problems with with acceleration. It is a 1.6 4 cyl, so it is what I expected. The inside is very cool and has the quality of a high end car. I have the style package and am completely happy with it!!!
