While I only had the 4 cylinder base model, this car was an absolute blast to drive. U had a manual and this car hugged a car, hung low to the ground... and turned heads. A tree fell on her and crushed the sunroof and top, and part of the passenger side door. Our insurance totaled her out. She will definitely be missed.

I love this car. It has a peppy turbo that sucks you into the back of your seat. I love the heated leather seat. It's helpful in a snowy climate. It's a fun, and it's fast as I need.

The ride is a bit rough, but it handles very well

Fun to drive but not very practical

I am the first owner of a 2016 Hyundai Veloster, purchased in October 2016. I loved it at first and thought I’d keep it even after I got another car down the road, because of its sporty drive and fuel economy. Within the first year, I had popped 2 tires (on regular drive, nothing particularly rough or pothole filled). By now (3yrs 3mos of owning) i have replaced SIX tires due to POPPING them (not low tread or any other usual reason), because the “stylish low profile tires” have no tire and too much rim. The tires cost at the very least $100 for the 225/40R18, and are too rare to be found used at local salvage shops. I’ve been told I need new shocks and struts, which I shouldn’t need for another 2 years in an average car. My drivers side headlight went out about 3 years in, and not due to a burned out bulb. I’ve been told an average of $100 just to diagnose the issue causing the headlight to not work. About a month after, my passenger headlight lightbulb went out and needed replacing. It still drives comfortably, despite having decently high mileage for its age (~60,000miles), and if the repairs it needed weren’t so expensive, I might recommend the car to others. Maybe i still would to those who don’t drive very much. It’s fun to drive and comfortable on long journeys for those who don’t need the backseat for passengers (I take it on a 12 hour drive home once a year). It stores a surprising amount in the hatchback when the back seats are laid down. I’m trading it in after only 3 years because of its expensive-to-fix mechanical issues. I wish the tires and suspension were made more reliably so I didn’t have to switch cars. In general it honestly just feels like it must’ve been made cheaply on Hyundai’s part.
