Casual in Denim

I just purchased the Limited Edition (Denim) and am so happy with it. First of all, I don't understand the "professional" reviews that want to compare it with something that cost thousands more and should be amazing for what you just paid! The Venue is an honest, efficient, comfortable small car. SUV? If that means taller hatchback with great visibility then yes, this is the best very small suv without awd. The Limited Trim has heated seats, heated mirrors, Apple Play, keyless entry, and all of the other niceties that make it feel way better than say a Chevy Spark or Mitsubishi Mirage. I'm only 5'5" so the ability to see comfortably without totally relying on technology. I live in the NW and it's handling our weather rain, fog, light snow, and ice terrific. No, it will not win any races but it will keep up with our traffic just fine. (I drive a mix of hwy and city for my 15-mile commute.) Most of all I find it fun to drive! Again, it's not a sports car, but still zippy enough and really easy to park. Do yourself a favor and drive one.You'll be glad you did. Fell like this pruchase ticks all of the boxes I wanted without being too much vehicle that I'm not using as intended. Fingers-crossed for many happy miles ahead.

Yes it’s budget friendly but no it does not feel cheap. All the safety features and the styling are put together so well. It looks like it costs more esp on the SEL and up trims. All the latest features and a sunroof included for $23K is unheard of these days. The engine is dual port injection so there won’t be issues like older Hyundais had with carbon buildup. The transmission is the best CVT I have ever seen, it feels like a regular transmission. It may not win any races but it’s more than adequate esp in the sport mode, the snow mode works excellent too. Overall it’s a very easy vehicle to drive and live with. Great warranty and excellent build quality. The only flaw is the seats are kinda hard. I’d buy it again. UPDATE: I have always had luxury vehicles, due to moving to a rural area we needed something good on gas, able to handle rural roads and be reliable. This car has done all those perfectly for 30,000 mi so far. It’s also surprisingly roomy & comfortable, lots of headroom, also leather, sunroof, heated seats all the things you don’t expect for 24K. Not the fastest but iits truly fine being the only complaint. People often comment they like the looks.

Love the car, but had some issues

I've owned a 2023 Venue Limited for the past 2 months. I absolutely love the car. The interior design is sleek and comfortable, the display and connectivity is great. On the slow side when it comes to acceleration, but sport mode can definitely change that (I also came from driving a Veloster turbo...) No sunroof, which isn't a deal breaker to me. Not so roomy in the trunk, however the seats fold down easily to create a lot more space for cargo, day trips, vacations, etc. One little issue I did have: my steering was very wonky. It veered consistently to the right, even on straight roads. I played with the lane assist to see if that was the culprit, but it was not. I ended up getting the car serviced 3 times in 2 weeks (all under warranty, thanks Hyundai!) and, according to the shop, it was not the tire alignment nor the electric steering components causing the problem. The shop ended up cross-rotating my tires and that solved the issue. I'm glad to be back on the road in a car that I love, however this issue came up before I had even reached 1500 miles. I am not sure if this was a manufacturer defect or not, but it didn't taint my appreciation for this vehicle. I am more curious if this has happened to anyone else. Overall, a solid car, good gas mileage, and with Hyundai's warranty, you really won't have to worry about much.

The best of a small market

All cars are compromised. That's what makes them fun. My Venue is the best compromise I've ever owned (15+ vehicles). But it is a limited compromise. It will not waft you from New York to Chicago in effortless comfort. It will not serve as a vacation car for a family of four. It will not rocket up the left lane of the steep climb on 287 up from New Jersey. It will not compensate for your lack of attraction to folk of a compatible sexual orientation. It will provide excellent to astonishing gas mileage, if driven reasonably: high 30's to low 40's. Adjusted for inflation and earnings growth, cheaper than my '66 VW beetle. No compromise in fun to drive. Hurtle through corners, downshift at the early apex, accelerate through. Much fun. Not quite as much road feel as I would like, it's Asian. I loved my '78 Rabbit, when it ran. The Venue is a better all around package. And it's even a bit shorter.
