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.

2013 Veloster
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!

beautiful but buyer beware
Nice features and beautiful car. 50k on the car. 8 years old Even though has very good rear view back up camera, the sides at the rear hatchback area quarter panel are major blind spots the camera does not pick up and should be glass. Also the wind shield trim at the sides is too wide as creates a blind spot too. The rear hatch back door opener is a joke. First I cannot understand why you cannot open the hatch back from the driver compartment, and the rubber opener outside on the hatchback door you press deteriorates, rendering the rear open feature useless with no other way to unlock unless you crawl to the very back to pull the emergency lever opener. front door is way too long and creates problems getting out in tight parking spots like a larger truck, kind of strange for such a small car. 4 shorter doors are better. sun glass holder push and open style already is broken, spring latch is more dependable or some other style. Warranty sounds great but is a bit of joke too, my transmission gave out at 49k, Was well within the drivetrain 100000 10 year warranty but hyundai first claimed I was not the original owner so warranty was null and void. I bought the car new, gave them the paper work to prove it. Could not figure out how they came to the conclusion I wasn't the original owner. Even after I proved I was the original owner it still took them 7.5 months to get my car back on the road, nothing but run around from hyundai to me and the dealership. No help from them at all. Horrible service. I once had to get some items out of my car while it was at the dealers as I did not expect it to be there that long. While the service advisor was walking me to where my car was parked, he showed me 4 other velosters with transmission problems, one was brand new that conked out on a test drive! It seems like hyundai is having problems they do not want to own up to. After I get the car back finally, it stalls in the middle of an intersection during rush hour. Had to get it towed back, turned out to be a faulty crankshaft sensor. Now it is running fine but the touch screen does not work, dealer said the radio component failed and needs a whole new info center. Unreal. That is why I give it 2 stars. Lousy transmission, lousy warranty service from Hyundai and too many parts breaking after only 50K on the car. The tires that come stock on the car are junk too. I was getting major drift on straight roads, kept me on my toes when driving. The steering alignment checked out, when I had to replace the tires presto no more drift. Other than that it is nice.... if you keep it about 40k

Reliable Fun Economical
We just traded our 2013 Veloster Turbo Auto in with almost 88,000 miles. It was so good to us I thought it deserved a review. We were meticulous about maintenance but it never gave us any issues outside or routine care. Fun to drive. Great on gas mileage and no issues. If you can live with the space issues it has then you’ll enjoy this vehicle. We only traded it to get a bigger vehicle people can actually fit in the back of. Otherwise great car!
