I quite like my Veloster. Gets good mileage and meets my needs.

I like 3 doors, my only suggestion would be to have the 3rd. door on the drivers side. Very inconvenient for loading and unloading stuff. Would be nice if upholstery had been of a higher quality so that It would have come back with cleaning which it did not. Rain left white spots as color came out of upholstery.

Youngsters rev the engines of their mustangs and corvettes and I just laugh

Oh lets see 40 mpg with lots of pep and nice sound system . horse power in line with car market. Hyundai stands behind their cars. Sexy design has the kids thinking its a fast n furious muscle car. Also makes a great grocery getter

Love my Veloster

I was looking for another Hyundai car that had a manual transmission and the Veloster was available at the time I was looking. I did not buy it for it's looks but have received a lot of compliments from guys saying the think is it is a sharp looking car. After owning a basic Accent with no power features the Veloster is awesome. I especially like the back up camera. The car handles easily, and drives especially well on longer trips where you can open it up on the highway. Jim Price provides excellent service and the Hyundai Corp is very good about following up that their customer is satisfied.

6 years of AWESOME Veloster

Got my Copper (Vitamin C) Veloster custom ordered 6 years ago. I waited 3 months for it to come from Korea, and it's extra special to me even 6 years later. It handles superbly, is great to view, and gas mileage is always 37 mpg+ I don't plan to ever get rid of it!

Such a comfortable reliable car that gets me safely where I need to go.

I personally love my car, it is a stick shift which makes it even better, I feel like I always have control and it’s comfortable and I feel safe i would go anywhere in it. I would recommend this car to a friend definitely.

LOVE my Veloster!

My 2012 Tech Package Veloster has been reliable and enjoyable to drive daily as well as on longer trips! Hyundai service is amazing! Considering a second car and I’m thinking Hyundai because I’ve had such a good experience with my Veloster!

Great little car - wouldn't trade it for anything

This is probably one of the best cars I have ever driven. If it had a little more weigh in the back, it would be one of the better cars on the road. It handles better than my Mercedes 320 Sports car. I LIKE IT.

Still love my Veloster

I fell in love with the Veloster as soon as I saw one, I bought mine in 2012 and sill love it. It has been driven every day in all seasons. It is still fun to drive and has been very low maintenance, My next car will most likely be another Veloster.

Love it!

Finding my Veloster was a 5 star day for me. It combined the features I especially liked of the three previous vehicles I had owned - a sports car, a small pickup truck, and a sedan. It's fun to drive and the mileage is great. Note: It was celebratory purchase, which makes it very special - and it hasn't disappointed me.

I Love My Veloster

I purchased my Veloster new and have returned it to the dealer for service ever since; they are always timely, the warranties on my automobile was very good, the service and parts are good, the service providers are very knowledgeable and courteous and they always wash my car before I pick it up from service. However, the answering service could be improved, the receptionist answers calls for several dealers and sometimes the hold or pick up time can be long but, other than this, maybe hire a part time Call Center Person everything else is good and I'll continue to bring my car, as long as I have the Veloster.

Fun to drive

Before shopping for a car to replace my previous Hyundai (Accent) a few years ago, I had never even heard of the Veloster. We looked at cars in both the Rick Case Honda and Hyundai lots, and a salesperson suggested the Veloster. I loved the styling and color, and I liked that it was a stick shift. Over the years, many people have stopped to ask what kind of car it is and how it drives. It's pretty good on gas - I have gotten over 40mpg at times - and it's fun to drive. The "third door" (rear passenger side) is convenient when one is driving guests. It may look like a small car but the hatchback and fold down seats accommodate a surprising amount of cargo. I love to go antiquing and to estate sales, and I'm amazed at some of the furniture I've been able to fit in the car. A couple cons, though...the car has a large blind spot. I've learned to use and depend on my side mirrors to make up for it. I dislike backing out of a parking spot so I usually try to park front end out in a parking lot so I don't have to back up. Perhaps next time I'll get the rear dash camera. Another issue I have is that both key fobs do not work. I replaced the batteries in both and found out the fob needs to be reprogrammed (at a cost of $70! each) I've resorted to the old school method of putting the key in to unlock the door. Sometimes, even though the fobs don't operate, the car alarm will go off and I can't stop it with the fob. It can be embarrassing. I haven't had a lot of service issues with it; I had a couple problems with the clutch/transmission but the service department handled those quickly and under warranty.

Love my Veloster! It’s sporty looking and I get lots of compliments! Especially on the style and the three doors. Fun to drive and great on gas! And more importantly, great price! Looking forward to upgrading to a turbo soon!

2012 Veloster review.

I purchased my 2012 Veloster from Terry Reid in Cartersville in 2013 with 27,000 miles. At 65,000 had to spend $5000.00 for a new motor. It was 5,000 miles out of warenty and they would offer no help. Also, have had a constant ongoing problem with headlights blowing regularly. Love the design of car but haven’t been very impressed and definately wasn’t impressed at all with Terry Reid. A lot of things they failed to tell me I feel was salesman’s job. Learning experience. Riverside has been great on service.

Love my veloster

I bought my car back in 2012. I shopped around like anybody normally would. I had my heart set on a different kind of car but when I drove it I knew it wasn't for me. I kept seeing Velosters on the road and loved how they looked so I figured I test drive one of them and I fell in love instantly. It's sporty, cute, and also has great features on the inside! Ive had virtually no problems with mine and definitely recommend one!

My son loves this car!

My son loves the quirky sporty Veloster. It gets good gas mileage. He loves the ride the double clutch gives. It comes in fun colors. I like the sunroof. Surprisingly, when you put the back seat down it is roomy enough to haul things like furniture.

Great little car

Amazing gas mileage. I could not have picked a better car! The only drawback is adjusting to the blind spots. Once you’ve got it down, it’s perfect. Plenty of room and trunk space. I only wish I went with the turbo model, for fun sake.
