I have to say the base veloster is a great car. I'm going from a 2009 Hyundai Elantra and have to say after 4 years Hyundai's styling and build quality has improved. The base engine is fine with six speed automatic and paddle shifters its like having a manual shift car. If you know about cars you would know a mushy peddle means mushy performance. This car has a hard gas pedal so it means the engine has power on tap. I only own it a day and have to say its nibble sporty and does have power on tap. So stop giving this car a bad review, most owners love the car like I do.

Oh yes! I have had turned heads with this unique look and it seems like as soon as I had one, everyone wanted to get one! For being a sporty and economical car, it does AMAZING on gas and mileage! Once you start the car, give it a minute to warm up, this will save you the "stuttering" at the beginning of your trip. The suspension however is a bit on the sensitive side so potholes MUST be avoided; also, be careful rolling over dips and speed bumps so you don't drop the car like it was jenga and scratch off your front bumper! Cargo space isn't as promising as some reviews have claimed, especially when people are involved. The 3-door suddenly becomes an inconvenience and it's like wedging your hips into your favorite jeans after hitting hometown buffet. Overall, I really do like this car for its simplicity, distance, and looks. (Great car for first time buyers/singles)

You will like this car, but might not love it

The Veloster is one of those cars that will turn heads like the Mini Cooper did when it is re-released in the early 2000s. Stylish and different with a next generation interior, this car is fun to own. You will like it, but will probably not love it. Compared to the Mini Cooper, it's performance and handling is terrible. Even with the manual transmission, it is impossible to get enough torque out of the engine to make it fun. That being said, the panoramic sun roof, comfortable seats and great sound system help make this car enjoyable. An improvement in performance and handling is certainly doable. If Hyundai makes this happen, watch out.

I am loving this car! So much fun to drive! My only complaint is so minor and that is when I leave the lights on - it doesn't ding when I leave my lights on like my last car, LOL! See minor and not even relevant to how much fun it is to drive. Shifts super smooth!
