Excellent Powertrain
The vehicle has met my needs. The 1.6L turbocharged 4 cylinder engine teamed with the double clutch transmission is rather sporty and nice but I find it gets lost at low speeds and even clunky while it desperately tries to figure out what gear to be in - just give us an option to get the manual transmission from the Veloster Turbo! I combat this commute nightmare by keeping the vehicle in 'Sport' mode but loose the fuel economy and have to press the 'Sport' button at the start of every drive. And the interior is lacking terribly - the seats aren't supportive, the sea of hard plastic seemingly endless, and the infomat a bit confusing and challenging to get accustomed to. The strongest positives for this car are the reliability (I have 46,000+ miles on the vehicle with zero issues), the exterior styling, and the price point value.
