2014 Hyundai Veloster Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

For over three years I have had intermittent starting problems with my 2014 Veloster. I have had it back to the dealership numerous times and been charge a diagnostic fee for finding nothing. I replaced the battery (at my cost) which didn't solve the problem. When it took it back they have replaced the alternator, fuse box computer, & corroded wires, had the vehicle for at least a week at a time and are telling me it's my fault because 1. I don't shut it off properly. 2. I "play" with the fuse switch. 3. I don't drive it enough. Now they are telling me there are NO cranking amps in the battery and it needs to be replaced at my cost AGAIN. They have completely ignored me when I tell them that the CD player has stayed on all night. The dash display stays on all night or won't come on at start up. The radio re-sets the stations, the clock re-sets to 12:00 every time it is shut off, sometimes the dash display works sometimes not and it will often start after trying to crank it three or four times but only if the dash display energizes. It also on occasion decides to lock me out completely and not recognize the key fob. I can drive it for a half an hour, do my shopping and come out to find it dead. I can put the battery on a trickle charge for 48 hours and it reads charged, but the car won't start the first time. After two or three tries it might start. Otherwise a quick boost and it starts immediately, no waiting for it to charge up. The dealership couldn't care less even though it did the same thing to the service technician the second last time it took it there. The car was warm and driven for 40 min. But it wouldn't start for him first time. Took three or four tries, yet now I get this it needs a new battery jive. I'm feed up with the attitude that I'm some stupid woman who doesn't know the difference between a dead battery and a dead short to ground that is causing all these electrical problems. I will take the battery back to where I bought it and have it tested.

This vehicle was bought mainly for my daughter. She is a teenager and it is a perfect car for her. As years went by she decided she wanted her dream car and that is what she got. The car is entirely too small for me and I hate it. The seats are very low. It is hard to turn my neck around and back up.

Great gas mileage. Do not enjoy the six speed but other than that very fun car great sound system from factory. Paddle shifters are fun sometimes and for a smaller engine it has power and agility. I would recommend this car although I would get the turbo one.

My vehicle has flat tires. All they do is pick up nails. They need to make much stronger tires. Also, one cannot see the curb when parking. All the wheel rubs against the curb. The car looks good, the glove box does not lock. And it does not have a light.

Vehicle runs great! Only con is that the turbo has all custom parts so maintenance can become pricey. Everything I have had to fix on my vehicle has been 2-3 times more expensive than the average vehicle. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that like acceleration and does not mind paying a little extra when it comes to repairs.

Car is extremely comfortable but can have ignition system issues. I rebuilt my engine at 83k miles, but my car is heavily modified. For someone who is leaving it in stock form it will most likely be flawless and fulfill your every need. Would make a great first car.

The vehicle is very small and not a full hatchback (putting the seats down does not make the car flat in the back). The car gets excellent gas mileage. It is very close to the ground and somewhat noisy. The car is somewhat underpowered despite being small. The back seat is very small. The cloth holds lint easily. The seating is not very comfortable. There is very little clearance. The headlights seem to die frequently.

It is comfortable and it has a nice sound system, and it also gets good gas mileage. Very little mechanical issues after owning it for 5 years. It has one transmission issue, where it does not like to shift out of first gear in the cold weather. (dual clutch automatic transmission.).
