The turbo Veloster is my main car now, but I also have a 2016 Camaro 2.0T that I used to drive, that now my other half drives since their car was totaled. I gave option to get another or take the Camaro and I would get another care. Well I got another car. I wanted something with fairly low payment since we would have two cars with payment again. The best deal out there was the Veloster Turbo, the only other car for the price I would have considered if it had been out at the time would have been the Elantra Sport. Anyway, the Veloster is much much easier to drive everyday than the Camaro is. Dont get me wrong, the Camaro will do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, but the Veloster has more usable fun. I tell you that I have had a 2013 Civic SI and a 2013 Infiiniti G37 coupe only to say that they also were not as much fun to drive as the Veloster turbo. I also love having the utility of the hatchback. It handles great, accelerates nicely, has great utility and the engine sounds very sporty. Changes I would make-Well I would like it to be a 5 dr HB instead of a 4 door HB with the one door on the drivers side. I would like it to have two doors on both sides. Also it could use better tires. For the price (I paid $20k) Im ashamed to even say those complaints.

Not a 19'

There is a newly revised 2019 model out now,but after viewing the base,Premium,Turbo,and R Spec interiors I was extremely disappointed.The quality of materials on the doors and the odd new center console sides are cheap plastics.The seats seem to be lifted from the Kia Soul,which most stand up comedians call DAD SEATS,or Lazyboy's...due to being wide.The ALL LEATHER my 2016 has with forming side bolsters are gone,and I HAVE NO IDEA WHY.The dash has a STANDUP radio that stays upright,which is very annoying and distracting.*The most distracting thing is the two OPPOSING body lines,the front arching and coming back CRAZY IVAN style.The rear dips down suddenly like an approaching overpass is too low.**Altogether the new 2019 doesn't even come close to my 2016 turbo with a fun six speed manual and quick thrust.I did not drive the 19',but the cheap interior and goofy sight lines ruin this car. My Veloster is unique looking,has a great interior,and is pretty quick for the price,If you buy a leftover 2017 with an auto and paddle shifters,they are almost gone but only $20k.

The engine has a problem with surging and hesitation. When you need to accelerate or merge on to the freeway, the Veloster will take off about one-third of the time. The rest of the time you press the accelerator, the Veloster will slowly speed up at best. Hyundai tells me the hesitation and surging are normal, and cannot fix the issue. The interior started to have problems after 2 months of ownership. Carpet coming up, floor mats falling apart, leather peeling off steering wheel and shifter, and a few loose plastic roof parts. After 3 weeks I had so many problems with the car I asked if I could return it. The Veloster and Hyundai have been horrible from the day I purchased it.

First of all, I drive a 2016 Veloster turbo 6 speed manual. It is an absolute blast to push a little harder than it should be. If you trimmed some more of the weight, you might get another second out of it, but it's still a quick, inexpensive, fun little car. What really sells the Veloster turbo aside from the obvious 200 horsepower, is the fact that the interior is so much better then most of its rivals. The dashboard,doors,and the forward console are all designed with attention to detail and perfectly blended materials. Not only are the seats recaro inspired, fit extremely well with side bolstering,but are also leather. All of these elements are removed from the new Veloster, and definitely pale in comparison. It's hilarious how many articles I read before the new Veloster came out, bestowing enormous praise upon the interior, which I now realize came from people who had never set foot in a Veloster before.The new model is absolutely horrible with cheap plastic everywhere and crappy cloth seats that are too wide, and within the first couple thousand miles, show huge raised wrinkles on the sides from entry and exit. What's even more hilarious to me, is once I actually went to go look at the Veloster N, which you would think was the second coming of Jesus from every article published pre-release,it was an enormous disappointment in the interior. You can't even get leather, and you would think it would have dawned on someone in the design studio, to put soft touch materials in a car they're trying to get $30,000 for. The truth is, with only 250 horsepower, you can buy a 4 cylinder turbo Camaro with 275 horsepower, an automatic with paddle shifters, and remote start for cold weather... For $20,000 with rebates right now.As a matter of fact,a 335 hp V6 is less money with rebates at about $22k. I'm a huge proponent of the Hyundai product, especially considering the warranty they share with Kia at second-best in the entire Auto industry, only behind the 72 thousand mile warranty Volkswagen provides. But when Hyundai decides to pull its collective head out of its ass,and redesign the Veloster turbo and the Veloster N as they should... It had better be with a much, much, much, nicer interior with better seats,and quality materials and craftsmanship. Just in case you didn't know this, you can go online on autotrader.com and buy a Veloster N for 22 or 23 thousand dollars when 6 months ago they were 28 29 and 30 thousand dollars. Which if you're smart, is a perfect illustration that they aren't selling anywhere near as well as they thought they were going to.

This is the WORST car I have ever owned. Hyundai refuses to fix the know transmission issue with the 7 speed dct.
