2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo (sans Tech package and sunroof)
My thoughts on this car after 2 years and 25k miles: still loving it. There are a few design flaws, like rear visibility (rear window is poorly positioned so the mirror shows you the spoiler and little else.) The factory tyres didn't last anywhere near as long as I expected, considering their grip levels (about 22k) but I have high hopes for my chosen replacements after reading some of the tyre reviews. Wish there was just a little more engine/exhaust noise - sound insulation is probably just a little too good for my taste. Touch screen is too bright at night, even at its lowest setting. And finally, the centre exhaust means lots of steam on cold mornings directly below the middle of the rear window, fogging it up with condensation instantly until the exhaust finally warms up. Rear seat is so small as to be virtually unusable except for small children or emergencies (not a problem for me, though.) But these are small niggles. Overall, it's a lot of fun to row through the gears. Fast enough to play with, not so fast that it's hard to control. No problems with driving in snow. Comfortable - I've done 12 hours at a stretch with no back issues or unusual amounts of tiredness. Handles well - firmer suspension that some would prefer, but that's how I like it. Overall, very happy with it - and expecting to keep it for many years to come.
