Horrid review... You basically said from the get go that you didn't like the car and you think its weird. Even if you didn't like it you should use words like unique because maybe some people love this sort of thing.l. Why not get someone unbiased for a test drive? I live in Canada and bought a 2014 Turbo Veloster and I love it even in the snow. Handles amazing, good on gas. A sports car without the sports car pricing. And all the technology behind it. Seriously. Yes its built for a younger market. Single or a couple. Its no family car but you never went through the audio, parking assist, options, interior or trunk space. How did you even get this job?

Awful review...you talked about nothing and showed us nothing. Why not just tell us how much power and actually test the zero to sixty time? Why not actually show us the car taking some corners at speed? What was the point of this video?

This car is fuckn beautiful
-
It's an economy car that's supposed to look sporty and comfortable to drive, and convenient. If you want sheer sport and power, get the Genesis and be done with it.

I bought a 2013 veloster (non turbo) and I love it!!! How often do people really put a turbo to its full use anyways, other then to show off and look dumb. this is a perfect car for first time buyers looking for something unique and unlike every other car you see on the road. really stands out and is very practical. get the look and personality of a sport coupe, practicality of a hatchback and it handles as much as you need a car to along with great gas mileage. It is my new favorite car

"It's got 50% more HP and 50% more torque, and that gives you 50% more fun" No wonder I stopped subscribing to C&D.

TBH if you are not looking for a speed demon this car is great. It's comfortable, drives well and the packages it comes with are great. I have recieved a bunch of compliments on mine. I agree it is really underpowered but this car wasn't build for speed in the first place. Personally i think the name is pretty cool.

And your a professional reviewer. That was terrible, a total lack of information and biased.
-
It's not weird, it's a good looking car that isn't boring.
-
going to test drive a veloster this weekend, dealership doesnt have the turbo model in stock but I wouldn't purchase a N/A one regardless. Just wondering, I'm 6 foot 2" is this car going to be too small for me? How is the drivers seat?
-
How could anyone take this guys opinion seriously? He mad a decision to wear his sideburns like that. His out-dated aviators and shirt/jeans combo prove that this guy has terrible taste. It would be easier to appreciate his review if he was actually blind.

I saw one today this car looks really good in real life i love the lights the body and everything about the exterior
-
I need a review on the RSpec version of the Turbo. I've had that car for almost a year. It's so much better than the turbo. Upgraded steering, upgraded suspension and upgraded to a B&M short throw shifter it fixes all the issues people have been having in reviews with the turbo.

Torque: 195 ft-lbs. @ 1750 rpm Horsepower: 201 hp @ 6000 rpm Curb weight: 2800 lbs this is what we really want to know
-
Tomas is right. The Genesis is more of a power kind of car. Veloster is more of like everyday driving. Also, this is a compact, not a performance car. You are talking about how weird it is, it's supposed to be a unique car that no other brand has done before.
-
how does the car hold up after 150k miles or so?? any one?????
-
i have seen alot of cars on the road but for some reason this one always makes my head turn,i went to the auto show in chicago at the mccormick place and saw hundreds of cars and the only car i reaal wanted to see was this one it has karisma and style and everything is standard thats a huge plus for me....
-
It's not a wierd looking its futuristic.
-
I heard him talk about the steering feedback and suspension feel, all of which are justified griped echoed by other reviewers. What's the problem?
-
Does the turbo have paddle shifters?
