My "fun" car

2019 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Ultimate 3dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I got this for my "fun" car, so I didn't have to drive my mommy car every day (Mazda CX9 Signature). I wanted the Turbo Ultimate Manual after I drove the R-Spec and loved the way it felt, but wanted more niceties. It was hard to find a Ultimate manual transmission!! I ended up buying sight unseen and undriven from an out of state dealer. I was nervous the shifter wouldn't be as nice as the short throw in the R-Spec (loved that!). My car arrived, and while the shifter wasn't as smooth (it's still good), I found the clutch just as light and easy as the R-spec, and of course the car just as fun to drive with those Michelin Summer tires. I love to drive this car! It's so much fun zipping around, not to mention it just looks so cool. We drove this on a long 11 hour trip, and much to my surprise it was so much more comfortable for the long ride than my CX9. I use my sunroof in this car much more than any other car I've owned - wind/noise is better than others. I prefer to drive in sport mode, as I favor the increased responsiveness of the steering wheel and the accelerator - it's an obvious difference. I wish it would always be on, but it disengages when the car is shut off. The safety features and blue link are great! Unfortunately since it is a manual transmission, some of the features do not work, such as turning on the car remotely. I guess they can't be sure everyone parks in neutral! There is also no active cruise control, much to my disappointment - I thought they could have designed it to work with a manual honestly...you hardly shift out of 6th on the highway even when you have to speed up a bit, as it has enough "go" to increase speed adequately. Other than those few things, I'm completely satisfied with this car. I'm so glad I got it. GREAT fun for a modest price.

We owned a Mini Cooper 2013 prior. If the quality on the mini cooper was sound we most likely would have purchased another but, the Veloster has what we liked in the Mini cooper with quality/reliability

I still love my 2019 Veloster Turbo Ultimate!

It has been a year since I bought my 2019 Veloster Turbo Ultimate and I still love the car. Fortunately, this is a second car in our family and as my wife has a SUV for hauling large articles. However we prefer this car for our trips because it is comfortable and fun to drive. We chose the red color and it looks great with the black roof and we often get compliments on the car. The gas mileage is better than expected as I am getting 33 MPG around town and the other day I got 40 MPG on a road trip. The car has plenty of pickup whenever I use the sport mode.

Coming from a couple of Ford Focus models, first a Titanium then an ST. The Veloster turbo is a step down in power, but a very well tuned suspension and superior electronics, safety features, entertainment and nav system more than make up for a few missing ponies. Don't get me wrong, the Veloster still has enough power to be fun, but the ST was a beast. Steering is great, especially in sport mode and it holds corners very well. Sound system is excellent as is the nav. Driver information abounds and lane assist is actually really good, subtle corrections that seem more like a banked road than any sort of computerized assistance. Update: I traded this on a Veloster N in March of 2021. It held it's value very well, which is probably down to having most options and the increase in the used car market from supply chain issues for new cars. I was pleased with the minimal amount of maintenance required to keep the car running well. No other complaints, I just wanted the additional power and the Dual Clutch Transmission offered in the 2021 Veloster N.
