My "fun" car

2019 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Ultimate 3dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
8 of 8 people found this review helpful

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.

2020 Hyundai Veloster 2.0 3dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

I've had the car for a month and love it. Base model. I drive it in sport mode most of the time and enjoy the instant, eager response. Top end numbers are not that important to me. Car is low, so feels faster than it probably is. MUCH more practical than a first glance might predict. Warning to older drivers like me: long driver door and low seats make entry and exit less than ideal. But 3rd door is great! I can verify car is good in snow, even with standard tires.

2020 Hyundai Veloster N 3dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
8 of 8 people found this review helpful

The Veloster N is hand-down the best bang for your buck performance car you can buy in today's day and age. It is superbly quick and exiting to drive. I have never owned a car before that gives me as much exhilaration as the Veloster N. With its Performance Blue color, it turns heads everywhere too. This car gives me hope that the enthusiasts' market for fun, high power, low weight vehicles still exists.

Stands out from the rest

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
