Veloster

When I saw the very first Veloster that was manufactured I knew that this was going to be a car I was going to buy. I fell in love with the design and style. In fact, this is my second Veloster and I will buy another one.

Veloster

Too many issues early on with this car . Brakes and hesitating...dealership service questionable. Needs more performance and safety functions . Still to be determined how this car will function and operate in a year or so

Great Car

Joy to drive and great performance. The voice command isn't that good. It wont take you to your exact music choice on your Ipod. The mode button to switch from the radio, satellite radio and Ipod gets stuck. No spare tire comes with the vehicle, you have to buy your own. However, great vehicle to drive.

Horrible

Beautiful and sporty styling. Great gas mileage, ie approximately 400 miles per tank. Very rough ride on city streets. Interior room is good for front seat passengers but quite cramped for backseat passengers. Good manufacturers warranty.

The Veloster made me a Hyundai fan

Two time Veloster owner. Bad luck with the 2013 model (engine failure at ~50,000 miles). At 22,000 miles my 2016 is still like new. Fuel economy could be better. The Turbo is a must have. The ride is harsh on bad roads. MSRP $3,000 too high. An AWD and or EV Veloster would be a dream come true.

My 2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo

I love this car!!! I traded in my 2013 Elantra GT for the Veloster. It's quick (although not as powerful as I expected from a turbo) and I love having a manual transmission. A few things I miss are the power seats and sunroof in my old car but it's just so much fun to drive I don't mind. I'm looking forward to my next Veloster in a couple of years!

Love my Rally Edition Veloster

When I bought my Veloster, I was looking for a fun, economical car that was not a "mom car." I drive over 50 miles a day in my work commute, so I need a car that won't suck up too much gas. I also visit my children in North Carolina often, so I wanted a car that was comfortable for long drives. Finally, I really wanted a turbo with a six speed because it's fun! The only issue I have ever had in the three years I have owned this car was flat tires. And the nails I drove over had absolutely nothing to do with the car! It was time for new tires anyway since I was over 50,000 miles. My little car makes the trip to work fun every morning. It has serious "giddy up and go" power and excellent handling. I have to set my cruise control to avoid creeping too far above the speed limit. I love shifting up through the gears, and the pedals are all chrome. It makes me feel like I am driving a race car. The back-up camera makes life easier. Because of the design, it is hard to see behind you when you back up. Without that camera, I would be praying for a safe exit from parking spaces. For the money, you can't go wrong.

This thing is actually kinda fun

My wife and I both drive Mercedes, so our bar is set pretty high. When we needed a dingy for our RV, we wanted small and a turbo for high altitude use. That left us with only a couple of options, so we went with the Veloster Turbo. I wasn't expecting much for the price, but now I actually find it a fun car and since one of our Mercedes is an AMG GTs, that should tell you something about how fun it is. No, it isn't nearly as fast, but it is nearly as fun. I only have about 1,500 miles on it, but so far I am really liking it and I think I got a solid deal for the price. My only beef is the visibility when backing up, but it does have a camera. The back seat is bigger than you would think and the 3rd door gives good access. Except for the rear vision, it is an engineering triumph for the money. The only other issue isn't really Hyundai's fault, it is just a little car. This is only an issue for any RVer looking to make it a toad. The brake pedal lever was too small to be able to put an air cyl on for Air Force One brakes, so I had to go with RVi3. They work just fine, but AF1 system would have sped up the hookup to the RV. Other than that, it is a great toad because it is so small and light, yet roomy inside. The turbo should keep the power on while climbing mountains, too.

Excellent Daily Vehicle

I have been very satisfied with my 2016 Veloster Turbo. It is a fun car for communing far and short distance, great on gas. It is small enough to fit just about anywhere, yet roomy enough to fit four people comfortably.

El Mar

I named my car El Mar the day I bought it. El Mar means “the blue”. When I walked into Ron Carter Hyundai I knew exactly what I wanted and David Waters found it for me. He asked “are there any must haves”. I replied “Blue”. I didn’t know I would end up with a 6-speed Turbo, but I Absolutely Love El Mar <3 Thanks David!

Better than expected.

More fun than expected too! Came off a Miata; drove a 2016 Genesis Coupe but it felt very heavy in the corners...have to admit it was great acceleration. Will consider new model; waiting to see that new Genesis Coupe!

Great car

I bought my veloster rally edition turbo new in 2016 from Craft Hyundai and I love it its a great little car and has served me well. It os sporty and is a real head turnrer it has pep and is a blast to drive; but thats not the main reason i bought it the reliability and superb gas mileage were what sealed the deal for me. The staff at Craft Hyundai was friendly and made this the best car buying experience I’ve ever had.

Veloster review

Very happy with car. The only thing that seems odd is the amount of invetory of Veloster. Don't know if this an allocation issue or simply a direvitive of not a lot of them being produced. Looking forward to seeing a 2019 turbo.

Can't imagine life without my Veloster!

I first saw the Veloster online and was attracted to the sporty look. When I was ready I went to Gosch Hyundai and bought mine that day. I chose the Turbo model and have been very happy with it. I get many compliments and am asked questions about it frequently. I love the third door access to the backseat, it keeps it looking sporty while being practical. I am very satisfied with my Be listed.

Love my car. Fun, sporty, great sound system! My favorite Hyundai thus far! Have owned four others: Tibetan, Santa Fe and Touscan. All were great cars, but my Veloster just shines above the rest! Looking forward to driving it every day!

Happy+

I am more than happy with my Veloster and the service at Jim Click. Sports like drive. Good mileage overall. The ride is a little rough and the headlight controls are iffy. I would definitely buy another Hyundai, if not a Veloster.

Not only is this automobile very stylish outside and in and with exciting colors, the ride for comfort is like being in a sports car and I own it. So check out the Veloster and see for yourself.

Do the smart thing, check out Hyundai today, you will be glad you did. Also check out this dealership for professional knowledge, service, cleanliness, and above all the stylish colors and designs. Believe me, you won't be sorry.
