2016 Hyundai Veloster 3dr Hatchback w/Black Interior (1.6L 4cyl 6AM)

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.

2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo 3dr Hatchback w/Black Interior (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

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'

2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Rally Edition 3dr Hatchback w/Black Interior (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

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.

2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo 3dr Hatchback w/Black Interior (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

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.
