Used 2013 Hyundai Veloster Consumer Reviews
Not all it's Cracked Up to be.
This car is slow, cheaply made, and the electronics have no reliability or real build quality. I have owned the car since new and will never buy another Korean made car again. The only thing that was ever good about this car was the sound system and navigation; and both of those no longer work/speakers blown considering i never listen to any music or radio over about 3/4 volume limit. Car looks great from the outside if kept clean to the average 13-16 year old.

rod bearing
bought the car new with lifetime power train warranty, as long as all service work was done at the dealership. I did this. at 124K miles lost power and a noise from the the engine. the rod bearing wasn't getting enough oil. had to replace the motor a problem with the 2.0 and 2.4 motors, not the 1.6 (what the Hyundai facture rep told me). the dealership was sold twice and the powertrain warranty was no longer.

AC stopped working, leak occurred at 60,000miles
just today after parking heard a noise sound like air is coming out through a small hole. After turning AC, it is not cooling, I think refrigerant is leaked. With this new issue occurred, I decided to write a negative review. It was my first new car, I bought it with a hope that I will have no expensive repair issues for at least 100k miles. Turns out that having a new car is as many repairs as for used one but more expensive. Sad!

Buyer Beware
Bought a 2013 Veloster in December 2012. Never owned a Hyundai anything but was struck with the MPGs, and the tech and sport package as well as the car's design. Then...problems and more problems. The car would stall and cut off on me constantly. Took it to the dealer they "couldn't duplicate the customer's concern" 6 times taken to the dealer! The car would cut off on me on the freeway, surface streets, gas stations you name it it stalled and cut off. I didn't realize that Hyundai was selling prototypes? I needed a reliable car...and this ain't it! Buyback here I come. Oh, btw beware of the Arbitration clause that you must do if you don't "opt-out" with 90 days of purchase.
The sporty looking car
This car can catch the eye of young drivers. Looks like a small sports cars and drives well when hugging the turns. Not great in accelerating but this was expected. Great on Gas!!!!! A big plus and travels well on the highway. A good vehicle if you are concerned about your budget.
