DON'T GET A MANUAL

This car has been great don't get me wrong but at 76K miles I am already in need of a new clutch which in my mind after having a Honda Civic and driving it well over 160K still did not need a new clutch after selling that vehicle. We don't drive it crazy, its not our first manual car so for it to go out so early is in my mind poor craftsmanship on the vehicle. If you get this car I recommend getting an automatic to avoid the early replacement. Gas mileage is great and the ride is good on the highway/city. Not bad for having a toddler either we just keep the car seat on the side with the 3rd door.

So far, So good

My Veloster keeps on doing it's thing. Gas mileage is not quite as high as advertised, but that seems to be common. Every once in awhile, I get a "hard shift" from Park to Drive. Doesn't happen often. If frequency increases, I will comment to Service. All in all, I am very satisfied with this vehicle.

MY LAST CAR

I have had my Veloster for seven years and it still looks as beautiful as it did on the lot! JUST TRY AND GET IT AWAY FROM ME! Yeah, I know the tires are hard and it makes the ride a little rough and it is a little too low to the ground. The side mirrors are distracting when you try to turn and there is no keyhole on the passenger side but I can accept those things because IT JUST LOOKS SO D--- GOOD! I am nearly 81 and this will probably be my last car but I'd be proud to drive it thru those pearly gates!

Love it!

I love the size and the gas mileage. I love the look of a sporty car. The only bad thing is when you hit a bump or pot hole I feel like my Veloster is going to break or I'm going to get a flat tire. Over all I love the Veloster.

2013 Veloster

I have had my Veloster since 2013 brand new. It is not a Turbo so the gas mileage is good and being a hatchback it has more room for hauling things than people may think. It has been a good little car.

fun vehicle but some things did not work correctly and the warranty is not what you think

I really enjoy driving this vehicle, fun to drive, got the turbo power when you need it, handles well and it still looks good after all these years. Did have problems with the heater/ac control knob. Had to have it replaced seven times, six under warranty and one out of warranty which, after a call to Hyundia, they took care of. Now at 93,000 miles car needs new fuel injectors which I thought would be covered under the 10 year, 100,000 mile drive train warranty. Was told by dealer that these are only covered for 5 years, 60,000 miles. Wow, aren't these parts part of the engine which is part of the drive train. Told to replace it would cost me $750. To me this is not fair to the consumer. They should be included with the 10 year warranty. Was planning to trade it in this year for a new Veloster Turbo or N, but the cost to fix may put that out of reach. Other than that, the car is good looking and items that lacked in this year (rubber in the hood that turns grey and bad chrome on the rear exhaust that was cheap and not able to keep clean) have been improved on the newer models. Fun car but watch the warranty.

Great little car.

Bought it @ 89K. I now have 120K on my 2013 Veloster base with style pack. I've had no issues at all other than replacing brakes and tires. Stick to maintenance schedule to the letter. I still average 42mpg on highway.

Fun car to drive

The veloster is a fun car to dive. But has many , many blind spots. If you decide to get this car do yourself the favor and get one with a rear view camera. So many close calls on this vehicle while backing out or while merging lanes even after looking a couple of times before moving vehicle. Not a lot of HP so if you want more zip get a turbo , you'll need it. Also the radio or Head unit as they call it goes out on this vehicle. I contact the Manufacturer and they told me that they do have issues with touch screen after a couple of years. Hyundai will charge you over $2500 parts and labor to change out. You can buy a salvaged one for about $450 with built in amp or less then $200 for the version that needs the external amp. make sure you check your model before buying. Had issues with the Radio changing stations on its own which was frustrating at times. When everything works as it should it is one of the best entertainment systems in cars.

Meh

I really like the exterior design of the car, but otherwise not much stands out about it. It's a great car to go from point A to B, but if you're looking to get a lot of enjoyment out of your driving I'd look for something else. I bought the car used, and the transmission and clutch bearing went out a year later. I've heard that that can be an issue with Hyundai's, but I can only speak from my experience with the car.

13 Veloster Turbo

So far, I have had no problems with vehicle plus I get very good mpg. No issues with paint so far, no leaks, just the regular maintenance, oil change and air filter. Not bad for a 3 door vehicle. Love it.

My little buddy

I just love this little car. This is my second one, I upgraded to the turbo and it really has a kick. I changed the tires and wheels, and when I pull up every head turns. The sound system was also upgraded .

I love my veloster when I was younger I had several sports cars including a TR three and several others none handled better or as well as this vehicle and the gas mileage is impeccable

For the cost of this vehicle the handling is superb the speed is way above average and I cannot believe the gas mileage I am getting 30 to 37Miles per gallon the features that I received for their cost is also unbelievable

2013 Veloster

I love my Veloster and it’s always a big hit with friends and people that see it or ride in it. The car is very underpowered considering it’s sporty looks. By installing a cold air intake it did help a little with the lag in performance but it could use another 100 Horsepower minimum to live up to its looks and handling.

Authentic are awesome inside and out, but for a 6 year old car with only 44,000 miles, things are starting to break, but for a 6 year old car with only 44,000 miles, things are starting to break

Authentics are awesome inside and out, but for a 6 year old car with only 44,000 miles, things are starting to break that should not be breaking. Plus, it keeps pulling in one direction. I have had the alignment checked numerous times by different facilities, and not one can figure out why. I am now being to think it may be a shock/strut, but again, with onl 44,000 they should not have gone bad already. I had a Ford Probe for 7 years and never had to replace my struts, and it had much better handling than the Veloster. I love the look of the 2013 Veloster, the 2019's, not so much.

Dependable

I have never had a problem with my car since we bought it. Hyundai makes really excellent cars. Warranty is the best compared to other manufacturers. SterlingMcCall Hyundai dealership is one of the most professional that I have dealt with.

Love it!

IT IS A GREAT BUY FOR THE MONEY. fast and responsive when you want it to be, but also has the ability to be very fuel economical. Plenty of interior room for what I need even though it doesn't look as if it would be large enough. One negative is that it's often difficult to see the front of the car... that makes it too easy to run over low curbs in parking lots, etc. Also, I wish there was a convertible model... this is Florida after all.

Veloster after 125,000 miles

I have owned this car since it was new; it runs well and reliably. I have replaced tires, engine oil, fluids, filters, and brake pads as needed, All of the car's functions operate as they did when the car was new. The dealer maintains the car very well. I had one problem with a door handle and it was repaired under warranty. This car represents a good combination of performance, reliability, and economy at an affordable price.
