[@Metallkopf86]

The VT dash is disgusting... I'd hope they don't take a lesson from them. VT's look girly. Get a real hatch.

[@angryrussianhd2470]

People hate on this car because it a Hyundai. If it was built by Honda then it would be praised.

[@xdunejunkiex]

+AngryRussianHD I completely agree, I have this exact car and what you get for your money is great. if it was made by Honda or Toyota it would easily be $35k

[@saucegodnas7318]

AngryRussianHD It's because it's not refined like the other hot hatches the have been in the game way longer

[@mrhawk1924]

Hyundai now is just as good as Honda because of the warranty and quality built in Korean

[@Donzaloon]

Not true at all. People shit on Honda all the time when it comes to "sport cars". They get called fart cans and ricers etc.. But it's like that with almost every manufacturer, they all have something you can make jokes about. Like Dodge Challenger are beast but the reliability is dog shit. I could go on

[@yoopeter1010able]

My son is about to turn 16 and I was shopping around for his first car. I asked him what is favorite car is and he immediately told me his top five cars. Mustang GT, Genesis coupe, BRZ, FRS, and Veloster Turbo. Thing that surprised me was two of top five is from Hyundai. I'm Korean American from LA and car enthusiast. My son does not understand what Hyundai have endure to transform their image from their 1986 pitiful Excel launch which my dad bought for me to be patriotic. I'm so proud for Hyundai for their hard work. After 30 years I have purchased another Hyundai but I bought it not to be patriotic like my dad but because my son thinks its a cool car period. The brand new silver fully loaded Hyundai Veloster turbo parked next to my Audi A7 waiting for my son to comeback from his camping trip. How about that? I can't wait to see his reaction. Love your reviews and enthusiasm. Keep up the good work.

[@joes.7536]

Pete From OC Hyundai has come a long way. I never even noticed them until about 2010. Being from the Motor City a asian car has to be “good” to gain attention over American muscle. Although interesting you say Audi. I am on my third vw/audi myself. Currently a b7 a4 tuned by APR. I’ve owned a lot of cars, and you just can’t beat the muscle and build quality of a audi/vw.

[@sarikahshres8835]

Always liked the Veloster, not exactly great looking but interesting like the soul, juke, etc...which is more than can be said for most of the boring appliances driving around these days. Great job Matt!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Street Speed 717 Thank you!

[@F50xemPq]

To the people watching these reviews: If you are thinking about buying this car please do not let OTHER people`s comments stop you. I own this car and I can say the suspension is not the best over bumps. The steering can feel lose at sometimes.. But understand this car makes you feel something others cars cant... It may be the looks alone, but this car is one of a kind. For a FWD cornering is very fun... especially taking on a hard corner the back end loves to be thrown around, reason why people say its loose. I see people downing so much, and I can feel the hate through the comments. Just because the car looks a certain way people want to bring up the negatives...

[@F50xemPq]

Every car has positives and negatives

[@sarikahshres8835]

Do you still like the car? thinking about buying

[@tentenmedia]

I have a 2013. The 'wobbly' back end is the primary thing that terrifies me. In a straight line, on super smooth roads it's amazing. Feels planted in the corners, but heaven forbid it hits a bump in said corner doing above 50mph, you will be scared. I ordered rear sway bar hoping it may help. Otherwise, I enjoy driving it on long trips.

[@vanhasydan4754]

I keep seeing reviews and comments saying the Veloster Turbo and the FiST are similarly priced. But when I actually look up used Veloster Turbos and used Fists the price difference is around 5 grand. Love the Fist, but the extra cost between the two is making me lean toward the veloster

[@sinking5780]

Too many haters out there!! its a good car from a good country if you dont like Korea that go buy a honda or mazda but if you believe in thier engineering like I do then buy a Hyundai. I got the VT and i leave pretty much everyone in my dust and its pretty good on gas. and its a small light car so it moves quick relative to other cars. I like having it because no one else has them . I dont want to have what everyone else has. All in all its a decent car . Glad i bought it and its not your boring 4 door so i can say I have that going on!

[@footy2rock]

Thats what I was thinking i don't want a car everyone else has

[@NativeKoda]

I got my ‘14 Veloster Turbo almost a year ago and there’s nothing bad I can say about this car. Extremely fun to drive, reliable and surprisingly quick. I got performance exhaust with a good intake on 93 and I’m pushing 215whp. There’s so many modification options and overall, this car is so much fun to drive, I’d highly recommend this car to anyone interested in buying.

[@chrisruiz1333]

has the fuel economy been good on yours? I’m having issues where he distance to E goes to rapidly, it goes down pretty fast like 3-5 miles per mile driven.

[@hypr1]

@@chrisruiz1333 That's pretty normal after filling up on gas. It guesses way too high but after 50 or so miles it's pretty accurate and stable. The important thing is the MPG you're getting

[@TacoPoweredMatt]

I have a 2015 Veloster Turbo and I love it. There are much faster and better handling cars out there in the price point +/- $5k *cough* Ford Focus ST *cough*, but in city traffic, I rarely have the chance to push a car to it's limits. It's an awesomely fun but practical daily commuter and the interior features are amazing for the price. The styling is love or hate, but I"m a fan. If you're a person that likes to drive, this car is totally for you. If you're a driving enthusiast, however, you'll probably want something more aggressive though. For me, personally, it's a great balance,

[@daphenom45]

I looked at veloster before I got my FOST, its a damn good value with an unique look, but its more of a sporty econo car versus a hot hatch performer(ST/GTI). Its a really good value and I would recommend this car just for that reason.

[@TacoPoweredMatt]

+daphenom45 that's totally valid. It's a zippy car but it's not fast. It's a great fun ride for city driving where you don't have the open road to rock high performance

[@bryelg.9939]

Hey considerong your driving this car for 3years now, is it reliable and fuel economical for you?

[@sarikahshres8835]

I had my 2016 veloster now for almost a year and im loving it ! Nice video i actually have done a decent amount of mods to mine now

[@subarustifan4212]

Loved the spilt screen view while you were in the corners. Cool transition back to the one screen too. Great editing throughout the videos lately dude!

[@jasonandrews7355]

Just picked up a dream spec 2013 Turbo 2 days ago - matte grey paint, 6MT, Ultimate Package, and only 72,000km! Add in an intake and diverter valve, and I've been having a blast so far. Power, handling, sound, and styling are all fun, without compromising it's practicality too much. This car is often compared against the GTI, Civic SI, Focus ST, etc. But these days, in my market (ON, Canada,) it's about $2-5k CAD cheaper than those options on the used market. Add the extra cost of premium gas (for the Si/GTI,) and the Veloster just became the obvious smiles/dollar winner for me. Hoping I'll get many years of fun going forward!

[@hypr1]

It's true it can run 87 but most people run higher now. Look into the forums for comparisons

[@felixgijon8621]

I own an R-Spec Veloster. Got it for 20 grand. Apparently kids at my town can't drive stick. Love the car so far. Not the fastest, but it gets me where I need to be quick enough and gets lots of attention from the ladies.

[@felixgijon8621]

***** can't say much about reliability...it is practically new. The furthest I've ever driven has been 300 miles at a time. It has been a year since I bought the R-Spec and I've haven't had a single problem. Plus Hyundai's warranty is a crazy good deal. It ain't the fastest hot-hatch in the world, but it has a nice interior compared to other "faster" cars. Plus several girls liked the look and comfortableness of the ride.

[@labounti]

I chose the Velsoter Rspec over the Fiesta St simply because it was bigger and I was getting out of a regular Fiesta. I love my car.

[@varietybacon6969]

YES IVE BEEN WAITING SOOOOO LONG FOR THIS REVIEW THANKS SO MUCH MATT!!!!! :)

[@TheBluehornz01]

I test drove a Veloster Turbo before my latest car purchase. At the time I thought it was pretty good. Then I test drove the Fiesta ST. The Fiesta ST is better in nearly every way. The Veloster Turbo isn't bad, but for similar money buy the ST.

[@F50xemPq]

TheBluehornz01 The Fiesta ST is NOT better in everyway..... This is why people dont buy the Veloster. They see comments like this and actually believe it.... Buy what you like, I test drove both and the Fiesta is not better

[@pacoflyer]

Truth about cars The fiesta ST kills this in performance capability but is equal on people carrying and storage. Few interior gadgets go to VT for being better than FiST. But the FiST is in another league in performance capability in turns/braking and skid pad.

[@TheBluehornz01]

Actually I have thorough knowledge on the Fiesta and the Veloster. In the categories of torque, performance, steering feel, lower curb weight, transmission, ergonomics, resale value, rear seat headroom, aftermarket availability, utility, and torque vectoring the Fiesta is better. The Veloster clearly wins out in warranty, crash test rating, interior space/volume, fuel tank capacity, and ugliest front fascia. As just a "car", both are comparable and will make fine commuters. For an enthusiast driver, the Ford Fiesta ST is much better. They hype is real. Sorry to pee in your Cheerios, bub.

[@F50xemPq]

TheBluehornz01 I changed the suspension and steering on my veloster turbo for less than one thousand... Give it up the the handles like a dream for a fwd

[@TheBluehornz01]

Cool. It's your opinion and you are more than entitled to it.

[@hudsonja]

Also, these cars are MASSIVELY popular in Puerto Rico, I swear I saw 20-30 of these a day the 2-3 weeks I've been there the past couple years

[@freezor80]

Matt, the R-Spec comes with brake torque vectoring so it doesn't do the one wheel peel when cornering. Plus it has upgraded suspension and brakes that are not mushy. Come to KC and you can test my wife's R-Spec Veloster. The only thing I really hate about here car is the grand touring Kumho all season tires. They don't allow for much grip when launching it. The tires also give up long before the suspension does. Pretty much it peels through first gear and some times in second. Once we get upgraded tires it will be a real rocket. Also if you wait until the end of the model year like we did you can get an R-Spec for under $20k. You really need to try a R-Spec. I have driven both and we bought the R-Spec because it is so much better. It only has the options we really wanted anyway.

[@aidin67]

Jaion Cebollero Jaion, I would have bought a widebody hatch if there were any available in my price range. Those things barely depreciate though, which is annoying AF. Who's going to pay MSRP for a 2012 with 30k miles on it.

My friend has this car 2016 model with a 6-speed manual and raced a 2019 Honda Civic SI and Beat It

[@maximus9401]

Closest competition for this is the Fiesta in my opinion. They are between 2700-2800 lbs, both FF hatchbacks, both have a 1.6 liter turbocharged engine, both have torsion beam rear axles, somewhat similar price range. The Fiesta feels smaller and more nimble, but its a better value proposition for performance. This feels like a better value proposition for comfort and features and styling.

[@MrGovenator1]

+ertren6 about to buy one I test drove it how is the viisibility from back for you really? cause when I test drove it I freaked out because I couldnt see everything

[@ertren6]

Blake bradshaw Honestly, after a few minutes I adjusted. I can see everything i need to see from the back. Visibility wise I have no complaints. Handling wise no complaints either honestly lol. Biggest plus for me was gas. I drive 20 miles each to way to work so a total of 40 miles a day. My car gets roughly 380-400 miles before I have to refuel, and it only costs me like 22-25 dollars to fill up. Plus having thee doors is awesome lol.

[@hiiakaikapoliopele2056]

Love my Veloster! Got it a week ago. Wish the moonroof was on all models.

[@BhrisBurry]

your car is slow

[@ertren6]

Stephen Curry Well, if you're talking to me, then yes, a veloster is generally slow. But I did not buy this car to street race or run 10 second quarter miles lol. I bought it for the fuel economy, insurance rates, and sexy look. I easily get 400 miles to the tank before i fill up again, and it'll cost me 25 bucks to fill up. I pay just 114 dollars in insurance for my wife and myself, keep in mind we're below 25. If i wanted a fast car, i would either go with the trubo version of this car or maybe get a sports car o.O?

[@TimHarbison]

Thanks for the overview. Ended up buying a 2014 VT (still sitting on the lot new) in November 15'. Seems like you had a lot of fun driving it. The pickup in this thing is really fantastic. Very easy to end up moving much faster than you intended if you don't watch yourself. I'm in my 50's and my track days are behind me. About the most I do anymore is the occasional TSD rally. Much fun as a daily driver and quite a bit less than a Civic Si, or GTI, not to mention much better looking (IMO).

[@longgrayline8055]

Add a Pierce Motorsports handling package for $350 and it will easily handle with cars twice the price. Add proper tires and it will really impress you.

[@iruleusuck999]

I give you points on going through everything in the car, but your reviews aren't good. The only words I hear in the video are "pretty good" and "cool". Don't be afraid to be more critical, that's what reviews are supposed to do. Every detail you don't like you always justify by saying but- or something similar. Honestly, I wouldn't call these videos reviews, they are more like a first look or hands on.

All I know is the 2012 ones are going for around 14k now used and theyre practically identical to the brand new ones feature and spec wise soooooo

[@FreyVII]

Having owned a Veloster for over 4 years now I can say I agree with this review. Anybody considering buying this car my recommendation is to buy a reputable set of tires and brake pads as the stock tires/brake pads are poor. A few small upgrades and it handles plenty good for the public roads. That aside its been reliable, fuel efficient, practical, and if purchased new or CPO has a warranty that can't be beat.

[@fuknames2123]

may not be a fast car, but when it makes you smile, then you know.

[@INumba1Stunna]

Veryy nice review. Was waiting for a Veloster video from you. I really dig the design on that car. They sound really nice, you hear that turbo spooling up quick when you have an aftermarket intake on that thing. I would much rather get an Si or GTI, but I could definitely see myself driving this also.

[@paul-wd7ht]

This was done with the stock Khumo tires. Which are junk. Should've done the one with the pilot super sports. It probably would've felt like a different car

[@mechanicalmonkey7777]

Would you buy a 2014 with 100k in absolute showroom shape for 9900$?”

[@Hannah-mj9vg]

I wouldn’t, but it depends on you. I just got a 2014 sport base Hyundai Veloster for about $7400. It had 90k miles on it at the time of purchase and just a couple paint chips here and there. Not to mention the base has a better mpg than the turbo edition. I’d say it’s up to what you look for in a car however.

[@MEANlowGREEN]

Those tires suck! I've never driven a Veloster but I know the sounds sorry tires make. I'm sure more competent tire would help the handling and wheel spin.

[@freezor80]

It spins the tires in first because the tires suck. You need an upgrade in that area if you want to launch very well. If you are in KC you can test my wife's R-Spec. The sound is fake and the exhaust from outside sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

[@freezor80]

I have read that the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 tires really liven up this car.

Been seeing a lot of Velosters lately. I like how the body looks but just don't like how the front looks.

[@driveandreview]

I'll admit that the Veloster never really appealed to me, but watching this changed my mind (sort of). Not a bad little car, IMHO.

[@driveandreview]

Very true, and I totally agree. I'd never buy a Veloster due to the fact there are so many (better) cars out there for the same amount of money. I also feel exactly the same way about the Hyundai Genesis Coupe - it was cool when first introduced but the competition has become fierce.

[@F50xemPq]

Drive And Review LOL SIGNIFICANTLY worse? wow so many better cars?

[@F50xemPq]

I don't know where you live, but here in Canada, a 2015 Veloster Turbo is 26k. The list of features like a 7 inch nav with rear-view cam, system 450 watts sound system, panoramic sunroof, LED lights front and back. Leather heated seats, heated leather steering wheel lol I could go on for days. Every single car you listed with the features I listed would be 35k+ in Canada.

[@F50xemPq]

[@JERCHROME]

+Truth about cars I live in Canada and thats pretty much true. Once I found out it had nav, a rear view cam and an ass warmer (for those -40*C winters) for a fairly decent price, it has me sold.

[@TVinmyEye]

I was looking into buying one of these but was put off with the suspension set up. Its only independent front suspension. hopefully future models with gain an all wheel independent suspension. But other than that this car is a bargain.

[@CeeStyleDj]

But I hear the Fiesta ST has the same set up....

[@miketrav]

The problem is the competition Ford, volkswagon they’re extremely unreliable vehicles always ranking bottom 10 on consumers report. The civic is nice but requires premium gas as does the Mazda. You buy the Hyundai New you have a ten-year hundred thousand mile warranty and Hyundai ranks most Reliablecar brand in a recent survey. The Ford focus falls apart after 50,000 miles just checked most forums Same with the fiesta. Read the GTI forums it’s rare to find a GTI that hasn’t fallen apart at 80,000 miles. Did the Hyundai forums better Hyundai vehicles were 200,000 miles running strong

[@shmeenix8672]

The brakes on mine are great. Almost touchy. And the handling around corners. Better than anything I've owned. then again I traded a sonata for my vt. Only issue is the jutting at like 5k rpm. Still a mystery. Replaced all plugs and a bad coil. Fuel line recall already addressed. Heard if I got a ram air or cold air might fix the problem. 🤷 Just sucks I can't just punch it and let it rev out. Anyone else have the same issue? I heard it could be boost limiter idk.

Dee Warren still waiting for mine...

[@Haloruler64]

I'm 6 feet tall and couldn't stand sitting in the backseat for more than a few minutes. It's painful, just no headroom. Also the trunk is decently sized but proportioned wrong, I struggled to get two suitcases in there. My neighbor has this car and she hates it.

[@Haloruler64]

Sea Edu Big difference between small car and poorly designed car. The Veloster isn't my car, I was given a ride in it. My car is half the size of a Veloster, yet is roomier.

[@thekingparrot2573]

Imagine someone strips this swaps it to awd and twin turbos it on a boxer engine

[@TheAdventureAuto]

I had a veloster turbo for two years and I was so happy to get rid of it. The handling sucked so bad and the ride wasn't smooth at all when hitting bumps through a corner. That first gear is so short which is why it constantly spins the tires. Just doing 5mph in a parking lot you'd be at 3k rpms, then second would pretty much be stalling. Even fully modded it's still not up to par with the competition. I wouldn't say the car overall sucked but I didn't really know what I was missing out on until I got rid of it. Thanks SWRXF for finally reviewing one. For anybody considering one, take lots of test drives on bumpy roads first. It's not a good car.

Turbo4Life1217 I owned a 2011 Genesis coupe, and I can safely say I will never own another Hyundai (Most likely). They need quite a bit of refinement. They aren't bad cars, in fact they are far beyond what they used to be, but they still have room to improve. It really sucks too, you buy these sporty cars (Genesis coupe/Veloster Turbo), and they really just don't compete all that well with their competition. Luckily for the both of them, I see tons of people driving them around simply because of how they look, plus they have tons of value. Hopefully the Veloster will do what the 2013+ Genesis coupe did (got significantly better to the previous generation), but only time will tell.

[@TheAdventureAuto]

MrGovenator1 yes exactly. Value and looks will sell TONS of cars because you don't know what the car will truly be like until you've had it a while. I used to laugh at hyundai and kia but then became a fan. I'm now back on the other side, but still do hope they can someday create the complete package.

[@MrGovenator1]

Turbo4Life1217 I need to drive a 2013+ Genesis coupe. I have been told is way better than the 2010-2012s, and hopefully those will brighten up the Genesis for me again, because I love the looks. The rear quarter panel shot is great.

[@EvandeBoer]

MrGovenator1 i have a 2014 genesis coupe 2.0t i love it its a fun can to drive i got the premium package and it has nicer interior comoared to thr video he reviewed and a sunroof

[@RedPanda555]

Totally agree. Hyundai still can't come close to the performance and handling of the WRX, Golf GTi or Focus ST.

[@JohnnyRebKy]

I looked at a 2014 today and they wanted 14,000 dollars for it. Didn’t even have a powered driver seat. I thought they were crazy!

[@Neanderthal75]

I'm getting a rally edition in 3weeks. I can't wait!

[@scipioafricanus5765]

Renault Megané RS is a much better sports hatch

[@MIGUEL18384]

Its amazing how in America that car has more power than in Europe. In America it has 201 hp and in Europe it has 186 hp

[@wretchedslippage3255]

its headlights are like 3 feet long. It looks like a squished Genesis but its not even cool. This car is for wretched beings.

[@mrhawk1924]

Stop fuk8ng crying on these car. I have one and 100.00 miles warranty 10 yrs.. 2020

[@BigTimeTrucker432]

The main thing that kept me from getting one of these.........only has a back door on one side. Very awkward. I opted to get a Sonic RS 1.4L turbo hatchback. It's funny that i've seen you review almost every other turbo hatchback out there currently except for the RS. Now granted the RS has one of the smallest and least powerful engines of most of them but it is still very fun to drive and has a lot of sporty features. 0-60 in 7.8 seconds. For a 2800 pound car with only 138hp and 148 torque that is pretty good. Very underrated especially when it is compared to the Fiesta ST, which only beats the RS in performance, but in build quality and reliability the RS is miles ahead of it. Not to mention I think the RS rides a lot smoother and handles just as sporty in everyday driving.

[@matthewh.6928]

Three doors? That's the stupidest shit I've ever seen. Stick to boring sedans, Hyundai.

[@GamingHowToTutorials]

Your videos are great man! But one suggestion, you should try reviewing a 2004 Mazda RX8. I'm honestly in love with those cars and your reviews are amazing, I think the two would go great in a review.

[@nigelmccure6640]

I'm actually looking forward to buying myself a Frist Gen Veloster Turbo Six Speed Manual for myself eventually here people because I'm definitely looking for a one that is in the very beginning when the Turbo Model frist came out in 2013 and ya I'll definitely get it here in Canada and Happy Forth Of July to my American Friends

[@albertj433]

Always watch your videos but maybe it's just me but when you keep saying "you know" every 5-10 words it starts getting hard to focus on what you're saying and just waiting for the next time you say "you know". Technically when you say "you know", I don't actually know.....

[@jeffmorse645]

If I were considering this car I'd go for the cheap and get the base. Only has 138 HP, but with the manual it would still be pretty fun in the hills. Plus its only like $14500 or so. Spend anything more than that the Fiesta and Focus ST would be my choice.

[@ken34]

couple months ago i was in the new car market, was deciding between this and the fiesta ST. i heard all about the bad handling of the velosters, i ended up getting the fiesta ST, and i will never regret it. Fiesta ST is so much fun, it definitely has the veloster beat and its slightly cheaper.

[@TheMaxblod]

Bought a mitsubishi Lancer Se Limited Edition instead of that car I think I made a good choice

[@TheMaxblod]

Just to inform you I'm 18 and it's my first car so my budget is restricted

[@MrGovenator1]

TheMaxblod Yeah, probably a better choice.

[@aquateen77723]

TheMaxblod Is the SE the model with AWC? If so, I like it. I wish they had manual transmissions.

[@TheMaxblod]

No not with the AWC but I do have a manual transmission but I think the shifter is a little short

[@freezor80]

Watching this video again tells me you really need to try out the R-Spec or Rally version of this car as it is significantly better handling. The problem with the R-Spec is the stock Kumho tires suck. They just have no grip. My 2008 Civic Si Michelin tires are all season as well but work so much better.

[@anothersiguy]

I think the car really needs better/newer tires lol. I would still go with the Fiesta ST over this, if for no other reason than the blue accents on the interior make me want to gouge my eyes out

[@shawnyang616]

I have been watching your videos for a long time, and I think your videos would be way better with more critics. Its just seems like most of the cars are 'pretty good' or 'nice' in every perspective. If you dont like something, then you could say that you dont like it. Also, one thing bothers me is that aren't most of the push button start cars just start by clicking the button instead of holding the button? It just seems a little uncomfortable and it would be a good point to bring it up in ur videos. Anyway, I still enjoy your videos and thank you.

[@freezor80]

I watched the entire video and you complain about the handling. It really isn't that good. They fix that with the R-Spec version. I have driven both and the R-Spec is a big jump in handling. It is deceptive how smooth and easily it rolls through corners and curves.

[@BRIANBOBCHAPMAN]

COOL Review: 2014 Hyundai Veloster Turbo

[@griffsmotorthings]

Great review. I own a 2016 Veloster Turbo and it's perfect. Tons of features, 30mpg, enough guts to make a lane change. Handling is mediocre....needs sway bars or some sort of upgrade. Stylish fake race car. Fits my 3 yr old, golf clubs, real estate signs and groceries. $20k fully loaded.

[@kris-wj3wj]

I own a 2013 manual and yes front tires are a problem unless you drive like a grandma.
