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.

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

The good: •Gas mileage. I average about 30mpg with a heavy foot. •The roominess is surprising Four real adults fit fine, headroom in the back isn’t great for anyone over about 5’-9” but for short trips it’s fine. Cargo room is very good for its class of car. •Performance and handling are above average for the class. It’s a very taut, responsive car and reminds me of a crazy puppy dog. It outhandled the 2017 Mini Cooper S and 2017 Honda Civic Si that I cross shopped with. It’s not a FAST car, but it IS a quick point and squirt kinda car. It’s addictive between 3000-6000 RPM. The not so good: •The ride is harsher than I think it needs to be. The low-profile 40 series tires are a big contributor of this, maybe a change to a little taller sidewall would help the ride quality but I'd lose a little in the handling department. It's all a tradeoff. •The DCT transmission I have is definitely NOT a sporty transmission. I wish they would’ve offered a better sport mode with crisper up/down shifts, rev matching, etc. It’s not a bad transmission, but it could be much better. • I wish it had LED lights all around. The DRL’s are LED but all other bulbs are old fashioned halogen yellow ones. A lighting upgrade is desperately needed. •The toys on mine are not as nice as the '17 Elantra I'm replacing. My Veloster does not have Car Play or some of the little info screens that my Elantra did. It's tough going to a car with less tech than the one you're replacing, but I'll get over it. Overall, I really do love this car a lot. It’s only second to my ‘97 NA Miata (rip) in fun factor, and beats the 2017 Elantra that it’s replacing with ease in almost every category but toys & comfort. The car is, now, stock. I plan to install an oil catch can very soon however, as gasoline direct injection engines benefit greatly with them installed. Anyone who is looking for a fun, efficient and reliable little car can’t go wrong with a Veloster. Just don’t get the normally aspirated version, only get a turbo or you’ll be really sorry!

Already close to 11000 on odometer in this white jewel! Yes i complained on transmission last time 7 speed DCT and they had recall on it ! And went in shop 2 hrs later updates on trans and wow!!! Its awesome!! Shifts are quick and non hesitant! ! Car is great folks roomy enough! Still great handling! Need better steering feel but not a deal breaker! Snow in utah was bad this year and it handled it just fine! Fuel economy is better than n average! With my lead foot! But still interior bits alil cheap to scratch easily😞 but overall a great buy and choice so far!!
