A Thunder Butt thrill of a car !
Bought a 2020 Veloster 1.6T (turbo) Ultimate in Thunder Gray Metallic, Black roof and cream /red trim interior and I could not be more pleased with it. Am a car nut from the 1930,,s (89 years old) and restored antique cars as a hobby thru the years, so am supposed to know a thing or two about automobiles, and this little package of fun beats the pack ! First , it is a sheer blast to drive, ( I do not RACE an automobile like some nutcake, but now and then do like to take some kid at the light for a few blocks down the road )......guess some folks look twice when they see an old codger get out from the Veloster , but I just smile and move on...... love the exhaust note, dual clutch 7 speed trans works smoothly in normal mode, electronics are superior to most offerings in the sport car field, the price was unbeatable for a fully dressed product that gets 34mpg ,and the Hyundai 5year Traded my Veloster for a 2021 Ridgeline as I needed a light duty truck for week end warrior duty. I enjoyed my my relatively short tenure with the Volester and although it was as hard riding as a skateboard , would own another some day !

Amazing value
Balance of fun, performance, and utility. Nothing this good, this cheap on market.
R-spec is a great little car
This is a seriously fun little car. Great on a back road. Quality and performance exceed the price.

Sporty
Nice car. Small, which is just what my wife likes. Lower than our previous vehicle, but not as low feeling as I thought. Pick-up is decent and overall we are very happy with the vehicle.

Responsive and fun
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.
Excellent car horrible Hyundai service
I compared N ( 275 hp ) with Civic type R. Type R -nicer interior , little more interior space and more power - probably little faster on track but both have excellent handling - very similar on twisty roads. Type R is just too expensive - 3k better yes, 4-6 maybe, 8 or more definitely not. Update : A couple weeks ago I witnessed 2 guys in 911 turbos “chasing” each other in Malibu canyons. I joined them and I was easily able to keep up with cars 5 times more expensive. March 2022 my battery died - average wait time for any service work in L.A. area - 4-6 weeks.

R-Spec is fast, fun and MPG friendly
I wanted a sporty and fun to drive hatchback that also didn’t cost an arm and a leg. With gas prices reaching above $5/gal on average I wasn’t going to be able to afford 91 octane and only 20-25 mpg either. This little turbocharged car has as much power as the others and I’ve been averaging 34mpg over the last 3k miles I’ve driven. I haven’t been easy on the throttle either! This little car doesn’t have the following that the Golf GTI or Civic R do, but it’ll keep up with them and cost significantly less upfront and at the pump! The tech is great along with the surprisingly spacious cabin as well. I’m glad I took the dive and chose this pocket rocket!

Ultimate Veloster
The reviews by the professionals were accurate - the 2020 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Ultimate is a well crafted small car with reasonable acceleration, comfortable ride, and excellent fuel economy (34mpg Hwy).
Lots of fun to drive
Car handles great considering the price range. Great extras in an affordable package
