I love my Veloster

I had a Hyundai Accent that was given to me. It was a 98 that I did work on for my daughter. I drove it one day to look at a new one, and saw the Veloster. I didn't know then that I would be buying one in the next few months. I love the Veloster's handling on the turns, and the great gas mileage, and the 6 on the floor. Everyone looks at it like its from space, and my teens are proud. I get at least 35mpg and I drive long distances to work. It's not zippy from the start, but it accelerates plenty to get up to speed entering the highway. It also turns only 3500rpms at 95, and I wont say what it can do, cause I'll get arrested.
My first Hyundai

This is my first Hyundai and so far, it's a mixed bag. I am in my late 30's and I wouldn't consider myself the intended demographic for a Veloster. Pros - The car is fun to drive, handles great, gets about 32 mpg average. Plus, the base model includes bluetooth, A/C, cruise control, XM and keyless entry. Just what I needed and nothing I didn't- well done Hyundai. Cons - There is a constant loud rattle/creaking in the dash/glove box area that is driving me absolutely nuts. I hate for this to be a reason I don't like driving it, but it's getting to that point. I'm going to see if the dealership can do something at my first oil change.

I love the Veloster Turbo. Best value in the warm hatch market. Competes with civic SI, mini S, Fiesta ST. That said don't buy the 2013 model! Buy an 2014 or higher It has fatal flaws in the motor that are regularly causing massive engine failures. If your under warranty it will be covered as long as it's not modded. If you do get a 2013, make sure the sparkplugs are upgraded, the ECU updated and the Fuel like Recall completed. I advise consulting an automotive forum for more detials.

The warranty first of all has a catch. Free oil changes...well if you take it in every 7K miles anything in between is your dime. Read the warranty carefully. The sits were really uncomfortable at first and after major irritation it ended up...just ok. They can be hard to see out of. The cargo area was really nice. I had a roof noise and other rattle noises I had to take it back several times to fix...when you do...they don't give you a rental car...you must pay for it yourself. The fuel economy was fine as long as you drive the speed limit everywhere you go. The tires are crap and when you go to put new ones on the size is expensive. I didn't get the Turbo but should have. Handled pretty good. When you need the secondaries to open they flood and leave you with no power. It hesitated many times leaving me with no power and winding engine. It has so much horsepower then it flattens out. The single back door became a nuisance. The sound system is - not good. Mine was a Remix and when I sold it, it did nothing for me on the sale of it. Cute car but needs alot of work still to be a great car!

I drive a 2013 Turbo (had it 10 months) and my wife has a 2014 ReFlex (1 month). We love them both. The turbo is perfect for me. Driving in a "hill" city the turbo gives me the boost I enjoy. My wife is perfectly happy with the basic engine. Both get great mileage. We have already had them both on mountainous road trips of over 1000 miles. Both averaged over 36 mpg in such conditions (highway and towns). On a highway trip only her's got 42 mpg. As "seniors" we are enjoying the youthful styling of the car. Her ReFlex is a beauty with the extra chrome and the Ice Pearl color. The car is a great value for its price range. I suspect we will be repeat customers. 2016 update: traded my wife's for a small SUV. She is short and needed to sit higher. Traded my '13 turbo for a new '16 turbo in May. Love this one every bit as much. A few minor improvement, 7 speed auto instead of 6 speed and better suspension.
