My First New Car: 2019 Hyundai Veloster
I absolutely love my new Hyundai Veloster! The hands-free system in it is perfect and just what I needed driving a lot between work and school. Not to mention the screen and text size is large enough to be easily read at all times. Since buying this car I have received so many compliments on it and it's already been on a long family vacation and the spacious trunk was able to hold everything perfectly. I would absolutely recommend this car to anyone thinking about buying one

Roomy and sporty, Veloster will fulfill wishes of a hatchback and a sports car.
Gorgeous all the way round. Comfortable interior. Handles beautifully. Can go from driving through traffic to zipping down country roads especially with the turbo and the switch between automatic and manual. Sound and GPS system are incredible. Safety features are also very helpful. Backseat folds down for extra trunk space.

Rides great and is unexpectedly good in the snow.
I love my Hyundai Veloster. Although it is low it rides very comfortable. It is great on gas and even pretty good in the snow. I also really like the backup camera. I have had it exactly one year and I have not had any issues with it. I highly recommend the Hyundai Veloster as a primary vehicle.

Very happy with my vehicle.
I have had this vehicle for over a year and still love it. The only issue I have had with it was when I first bought it the blue link connectivity service was having issues. They had to replace the screen/radio unit in order for it to start working. The whole process took about 2 months before I was able to begin using remote control features through the app. Haven't had any further issues with the vehicle. Gets great gas mileage and is fun to drive.

There door sporty coupe with lots of extras.
Veloster 2.0 is a sleek stylish and very comfortable. The three door layout is a great alternative to a two door coupe. It has all the extras that a high end Honda would have without the huge price tag! There is so many extras that I have still yet to use them all. The leather seats are very stylish with the red piping trim. Heated seats are amazing!! It came with all the extras to plug in all your electrical devices. Fuel mileages is average nothing to get excited about. Biggest drawback is the disappearing oil. Hyundai recommends oil changes every 7.000 to 75,000 miles in a Veloster, do not do it! I followed there reconditions from the handbook and service department. When oil change was done there was a barely any oil on the dipstick. You wouldn't have to add oil to a brand new car between recommended oil changes. Also the rest of the fluids were low but not as alarming as the oil. Not sure how this will play out down the road with Hyundai but I will be checking oil between oil changes and doing oil changes sooner than 7,000 to 7,500 miles.

Driving the Hyundai Veloster is fierce funky & fun.
I love the style, comfort and love driving it. Touchscreen features are a plus. Front wheel drive, 3-door hatchback, large trunk, fuel injection. 6-speed shiftable automatic. Emergency braking assist, tire pressure monitoring, traction control blind spot warning and a lot more that are safe and fun to drive.

Little car is great and zippy
Great little car. Seats 4 people with an accessible 3rd door. Fold down back seats and hatch make handy for big things. The only issue I have found is the front collision detector doesn't work at night. The interior is nicely detailed and popup options screen is easy to navigate.

Also I have to say, you should check out nux on youtube. Is a really good youtube. I guess the car is good too. The car is comfortable and 8/10 should buy.

This vehicle is fast and sophisticated!
My veloster has had zero problems since I bought it. I have drove it through the desert and on long trips. The performance is top notch, the car is quick and feels like a go kart. Even though this is a sports car the seats are comfortable, it even has seat heaters. The technology is great in the car. I love lane assist and blind spot warning. Overall it is a great car.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Lila M.

The design, gas mileage and the dual clutch system which allows transition between automatic and manual shifting based on drivers preference. It can easily be switched without much effort. The interior is comfortable.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Lila M.

While the double clutch system is nice, it can present a learning curve and some getting used to - when driving in automatic and accelerating on inclines or down, the dual clutch can override and cause rpm to rise and the engine to rev giving the driver no acceleration control for a period of time.

Yes, I love my Hyundai Veloster. The styling is unique and different from most cars. I love that it is a hatchback and I can fit quite a bit into the back.

Yes it is. Low maintenance and good on gas. Sporty with sport-tuned steering and suspension, stability control, standard from wheel drive and more.
