Used 2014 Hyundai Veloster Consumer Reviews
2014 Ironman Silver Veloster Turbo black interior
Purchased new in 2014. Only changes are K&N Typhoon air intake and a new set of Michelin Pilot.Sport tires after a set of Continentals and the not so great Kumhos that were the stock set. Use Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic, top of the line Wix oil filter, and burn only Sunoco Ultra 93 fuel with an occasional dose off Lucas injector cleaner. Also change the cabin air filter when necessary. No problems of any kind after 6 years. Have about 64,000 miles on it but it still runs great. Average 33 mpg but don't hammer the throttle too often or corner at excessive speed. All in all, one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. Lots of compliments from lookers and people who have ridden in it.

Great value, but lackluster preformance
I've had this vehicle almost 2 years and have found it satisfactory. Cost less than comparable models and yet comes with all the the amenities that one could need: moon roof, bluetooth, Steering wheel controls, usb port, auxiliary port, and Faux leather w/ mesh seats. Sporty styling, but the third door makes it more convenient than your conventional 2 door coup/hatchback. At only 168 inches long it makes finding parking a breeze (Important in Brooklyn these days). Despite its small size, it has ample cargo room when you fold the seats down. However, the ride is VERY stiff and you can't open the windows in the rain due to leakage directly on to speakers (design flaw). Good value overall.

A keeper
We bought our Veloster in protest against the high cost of fuel. This little gem can go more than twice as far as our previous car on a smaller tank at 3 hours a day in both bumper to bumper and open road traffic. Love the design and low rider feel of the car as a driver especially, but our 2 preteen kids complain about the back seat being cramped and boring, and lack of plugins and lighting for their various electronics. A bit slow on the take off, and a bit of a sticky 1st gear that needs extra push on the clutch, but each car has their own personality. Could use a device holder and an under seat storage compartment in the front. Love the sporty look and feel without the high cost.
Total Thrill!!!!!!!!
I purchased my car used 4 months ago. I LOVE driving my car and all my friends want to drive it too! Great pick-up and go! I found exactly what I was looking for at the price I wanted! I am a nut about keeping it shiny and clean! Happy Happy Happy!

Nothing but problems
I have owned this car for the last two years. Within a month of purchasing, I needed to have a new transmission installed. Within a few months of purchasing, I had to have my stereo/entertainment console replaced! It lags in take off, and will every now and then struggle to go. I almost got hit because of turning and this happened!!! I strongly recommend you steer clear of this car!
