2019 Hyundai Veloster 2.0 Premium 3dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
I have only had this car (2019) for about 2 month. I LOVE it. I love cars to begin with and had a 1999 Cougar for about 20 years that I loved. I turned it in (couldn't find a part to fix it) and got a Ford focus, manual tranny. It was good. I liked it. Had power. But the Velostar I LOVE! It is me. I am over 50 but have always loved sportier cars. The handling is great. I took … it down the coast route, Hwy 101 in Oregon which has quite a few sharp turns. It did great. Smiled all the way home. I thought Hyundai's were cheap cars but I think this is better than my Ford focus. It does have a short 'back door' (if it had one) window on the drivers side so is a little hard to see out of but I don't have too much trouble seeing behind me. Maybe because I am tall. I don't think I can think of any problems. I know that I am so glad I bought this car. I think Ron Fox (another review) said it all.
Love this 2.0 premium

Which Veloster does Edmunds recommend?
If you're looking at the Veloster, we're assuming you're exploring the sportier end of the hatchback spectrum. For that role, we recommend the R-Spec due to its turbocharged engine, sport-tuned suspension and standard summer performance tires. All are standout features in the class.
Full Edmunds Review: 2019 Hyundai Veloster Hatchback
Driving
9.0The Veloster, especially the R-Spec, captures the spirit of small, light, front-wheel-drive sport compacts. It's an all-around fun-to-drive car, with approachable handling and just enough steering feel. Both the automatic and manual transmissions work OK, but each has quirks that slightly diminish this otherwise excellent hatchback.
Comfort
7.0The Veloster is sportier than most compact cars, but it's comfortable, if a bit basic. The ride is composed and stable, the seats pleasantly supportive, and the classic climate control is easy to use. We do wish the manual seats had adjustable lumbar.
Interior
8.0The interior is intelligently designed and packaged. Even though the Veloster is small, it makes good use of the available space and its asymmetrical door design. The back seat is even usable by adults of about average size or smaller. But the long driver's door can be awkward in tight spaces, and the rear roof pillars obstruct some visibility.
Utility
8.0For such a small vehicle, the Veloster has excellent utility. The trunk is surprisingly spacious. However, it relies on a low load floor to create space, which makes for a noticeable liftover. There's also lots of interior storage. The Veloster might not be the best pick if you're frequently installing and removing a car seat.
Technology
8.0Our manual-transmission R-Spec test car was about as stripped-down as the Veloster gets, but it had Hyundai's very functional infotainment with smartphone connectivity and a very good stereo system. Fully loaded, the Veloster comes with nearly every feature in the book.
