Used 2017 Hyundai Veloster Consumer Reviews
my kind of car
This car is a drivers car. It has a good weight to horse power ratio. It handles superbly. It is not over powered and it gets decent gas mileage. It is 4 passenger vehicle when needed. More suited for 2 passengers with plenty of cargo space for 2. I have taken one of these on a 400 + mile trip. It is very comfortable and road worthy on all highway conditions, the wind does not blow it around like other small cars I have driven. The Huyndai is noted for its reliability and I am planning on having this auto for many years. I still am enjoying my 2016 Turbo Veloster. I have been driving it this year in the winter snow and ice . It does a pretty good job as long as the snow is not to deep. I took a 1000 mile trip this fall it was comfortable and I averaged a little over 31 MPH. I have had no problems at all with this car. I am still enjoying my 2016 Turbo Veloster. I have taken a couple 800 plus mile trips. It is a great road trip car, Best with 2 on trips. Have taken 2 passengers before it was good. I take to its scheduled maintenance. It has no problems. The tires only lasted about 28000 miles. I had a 2012 Veloster and its original tires lasted about the same.

I looking for another one
The car is one of the safest cars in it's class. I got a great price from Bowie Hyundai. Unfortunately about a 1 1/2 months after I purchased the loaded Turbo model I was broad sided on the driver side. and I was knocked over the curve. All of the airbags were activated at just the right amount of pressure as to protect but not injure me with the force. The car was totaled. Both rear wheels were knocked off and the driver side door was caved in. However, I did not get a scratch on me. I was just shaken up some. The claim adjuster gave me a few dollars more than the out the door price that i paid. The car did its job. As soon as The crash occurred I was contacted via the Hyundai system telling me that I had been in a crash and that they were sending assistance. What a great experience under such a horrible circumstance. I am in the market for another one exactly as the one that was totaled

Great, fun car, for a low price
One of the more fun vehicles that I have driven, but not the best. However, you do get the bang for your buck! The options you get for $20K are phenomenal and you will not find that with any other vehicle in this class. The best part about this car? Modifications, this car adjusts to mods very well; I have about $2K in aftermarket parts on this car and have had ZERO issues. The one complaint I would have regarding performance is the DCT transmission, it is not the best but, I have heard that it is an issue with other Hyundai models. The interior and exterior are very nice, minus the cheap plastic that Hyundai is known for, I have yet to have any issues after 6 months of owning the vehicle. I get a lot of compliments on both the exterior and interior. The basic tech package is really good too, it's something that you would have to pay extra when purchasing other vehicles. I did forget one thing, the tires that come on this vehicle from the dealer SUCK! I am not a fan of the Kuhmo tires at all, they are absolutely terrible in rain and other road conditions. If you have the extra money, buy new tires before you hydroplane.

Absolute blast to drive.
For the driving enthusiast looking for great feedback from the road. Agile on the twisty roads, and acceleration that is fun, right up to the edge of intimidating. Fuel mileage was a surprise at 25 to 30mpg when pushing it, and 30 to 35mpg when taking it easy. Surprisingly good amount of usable storage space, and with the third door; easily accessible. Great audio system with integrated electronics plenty of connectivity options and remote access features similar to OnStar. I have thoroughly enjoyed owning and driving this car and will consider a similar model for my next purchase as well!

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.
