Ok, I've read your reviews and it looks like I'm a loner out here that has acceleration issues all the time. I can't go 35 mph without it chugging and begging to please go at least 45 mph to get a smoother ride. I can't do that when I live and drive in a 35 mph zone. And it's in the shop as I write this since it choked up and literally STOPPED while trying to accelerate and pass on a two lane highway over the weekend. Now I know how head-on collisions occur!! The car is cute, comfortable and dangerous. I want to sell it or trade it and now feel stuck since I only bought it in Dec 2013. I should have wondered why it was still on the lot.There's a design flaw with the tranny and they know it.
Danger Will Robinson! Stay Away From Hyundai!

Update: After an estimate from the dealer of $8000 to fix it, This car is still sitting in my garage while I pay off the note for an undriveable car. I use it to put my wet umbrella on while it dries. Most expensive umbrella dryer ever. When you buy this car used, the manufacturer's warranty is severely reduced. Within three of months of the warrantly expiring, at 65,000 miles, the car starts falling apart. First tubo booster fail: $3000 -- Hyundai paid part (which would have been fully covered under warranty). I paid $1800. Four weeks later, turbo charger fails again while on vacation. $550 towing charge to get it to the dealer. $35 per day for a rental car. $180 so far for diagnostic work. I have been notified the turbo charger replacement will be covered by parts warranty but as they discover whatever caused the turbo charger to fail will all be on me. Planning to send car to the Junk Yard and will have to have two car payments for the next year until I pay off the Nasty Veloster. Don't make the mistake I did, stay away!

Because if you want to ride like sports car, you got it. The turbo's 18" wheel is actually an overkill or let's just say feels like a second thought by Hyundai throwing those on to please the youth crowd for the looks, while simultaneously taking ride quality to a place, which resides between annoying and unacceptable. While I'm not saying it rides like the axles welded on the body, just switching to a side smaller 17" wheels and adding that extra half inch tire wall, it suddenly feels like that Hyundai really intended and did all its road testing with a 17" and adjusted the suspension for that size. Staying with the suspension topic, unfortunately - if you are a 2nd or 3rd hand buyer- you are inheriting all the issues the previous driver(s) may have inflicted on the suspension, just look for bent parts on the wheels and suspiciously large amount of balancing weights put on the wheels. Also be a look-out for a beat up suspension, receiving all the punishment coming from the oversized wheels with virtually no sidewall on the ultra low tires from the factory. Just a reminder, the car's ancestry line is from some of the cheapest Hyundai models - Accent/Elantra- not really designed to handle 200Hp and harsh acceleration, nevermind rigid springs and low profile tires transfering every bump and hole up the suspension parts and steering. The car will develop- unless already featuring- a vibration or a shake at certain speeds, forcing the owner for multiple visits to the tire place for alignment and wheel balancing. Not once in 2 years, but more like 3 times a year. It's actually worth to do get a complete diagnosis on the front suspension and replace nearly every component after a certain amount of miles, unless you can cope with vibration and road noise. And yes road noise. This car has zero insulation so having those 7.5" wheels with ultra low profile tires, it really sounds like you're sitting on the wheels themselves. Add the cheap plastic interior, and you got a symphony of rattles and shake and tire noise and your'e instinctively reaching for the volume knob on your radio, which features volume leveling option, but doesn't work at all.

So I really like this car, I've had it sense January and already have about 10k on it. It is a very reliable and durable little car, I had someone t-bone me going 40 and the only damage it had was a little crack and scuff on the bumper. the backseat is also big enough to fit 2 car seats.The gas mileage is better than I expected also, I usually drive between 40-50 mph and I average 38-43 mpg. The highest mpg I've averaged was 51.2 with the Eco boost on. I would recommend this car to a friend and think they should make it in a hybrid because it would get outstanding gas mileage. It also turns heads when I pull up to lights and people surprised its my car and not my parents because of my age.
Beware!!! Blown engine ,biggest financial mistake
