WARNING! DO NOT BUY A HYUNDAI** I hate this PATHETIC excuse of of what a manufacturer claims as a "dependable, America's, best warranty" I recently tried to file a claim for the first time in my many years of being a Hyundai owner. I purchased a 2013 Hyundai Veloster just a couple yrs ago with only 30k miles on it. My engine blew - connecting rod completely shot out the engine, then parts that flew off busted my gas tank too - everything beyond repair and need to be completely replaced. $5000 in damages that I have to pay, no thanks to this company. They said "mechanical failure" and this was MY fault! What the hell? What am I suppose to do - have my engine rebuilt every month to make sure it's still intact?? The damages are almost more than the car is worth! I have stayed on top of all my maintenance since day 1 when I purchased the car. Just last year, the catalytic converter went out - however (thankfully) was under warranty. I was travelling on vacay for the 4th - 3hrs from home, clear road, beautiful weather for a holiday and road trip, then all of a sudden I hear and feel a huge "bam" from the front and can literally feel under the car something solid ricochet all the way to the back, then I see smoke behind me, car obviously stalls, then I smell gas. If there had been one spark, I would've been dead! Thankfully a good samaritan came to the rescue telling "get out now!" Thus I did while 911 had been informed and on their way. Hyundai told me that this is a common issue with their cars too, though theres no recall and I'm 9000 miles above the powertrain warranty. Never had I had so many issues with a car than I've had with this one. When looking upon the list of recalls, there are SOOO many makes that have the EXACT same issue! And again, this car had about 70k miles Every call and "follow-up" keeps saying it's my fault! I have kept on top of maintenance (proof of every one). Believe me - I will blast this in every forum out there. I am beyond belief of their policies when it comes to this situation. The car should have been considered totalled, or atleast covered somewhat by the "makers".....they need to stop hiding behind the curtains and admit they're mistake - and take light of this in order to produce better cars in so this doesn't happen to other victims. Please do your research of other victims, lawsuits submitted (yet conveniently put off for yrs). Even the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recognizes this issue. Below is a glimpse into it.... https://www.thecarconnection.com/news/1122403_2013-hyundai-veloster-recalled-over-engine-stall-fire-risk HYUNDAI is absolutely WORTHLESS and INCOMPETENT!
Reviewers are wrong!

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.

Remove the intake resonator, and install a good CAI. Swap the throttle body for an Elantra 60MM PN# 5151002E100. If you swap Exhaust no bigger then 2" or add a good axle back.

I bought mine at CarMax and bought the extended warranty. It was under the original warranty so I was covered, but now it's extended warranty time and it's the same issue. Blow fuel injectors, blow engine, recalled software to prevent blow injectors and engine, etc.... The service department is nice, but we are both tired of seeing me and me being there. I have 65K miles, so I am not even close to a car with a lot of miles and the extended warranty is for 150K, but at this point, I asked Hyundai to make me a fair trade offer so I can move on. So tired of the issues.......

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)
