| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | Okay, adults won't want to spend a long road trip in the back seat of a Veloster. But given the car's sleek styling and tidy exterior dimensions, there's a surprising amount of room back there. Not only is the third door justified, but a fourth portal would also be welcome. As is, whoever sits in the left rear seat has no easy way to get to it. Between the lack of a fourth door and the presence of a low console where a fifth person might otherwise sit, it's as if they want people who regularly tote kids to get an Elantra GT. Which, sadly, isn't offered with a 201-horsepower engine. see full Hyundai Veloster review | |

| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | Like many other Hyundais, the Veloster Turbo feels about ten percent less powerful than it actually is. But 90 percent of 201 horsepower in a 2,800-pound car still feels perky enough to (finally) justify the car's name. On the other hand, the manual transmission's shift feel barely earns a passing grade. Those in Hondas and Mazdas feel slicker, shorter of throw, and more precise. Fuel economy used to be the #2 reason to buy a Veloster. But Hyundai had to revise its EPA mpg figures due to flawed testing procedures. The revised figures--24 mpg city, 35 highway with the manual and 24/31 with the automatic--are much less impressive, but still competitive. see full Hyundai Veloster review | |

I would not have believed you could get this much power and speed from a 1.6 litre turbo car ! It is very impressive and fun to drive . see full Hyundai Veloster review |

I went from a turbocharged Audi A4 to this car, so there was a noticeable drop in performance. However, the Audi was lucky to clear 400km on a tank ($80+) in city driving. The Veloster routinely gets 550km on a tank ($50) in city driving and even more on the highway. You can drive it hard and still get great mileage. I sometimes miss the performance of the A4 but I got rid of it (in part) because of the abysmal gas mileage - a complaint I don't have with this car. With gas pushing $1.50/L (~$5.67/Gallon) for regular and $1.65/L (~$6.24/Gallon) for premium I'm much happier driving a more fuel efficient car that doesn't need premium fuel. Merging on to the highway, the 6 speed really lets the engine stretch when you hold the gears. It's no sports car but it can get moving in a hurry. I read some reviews when it was new about quarter mile perfomance and all that - it's not relevant in daily life. Are you really going all out to race to a red light? 75% of the time people are in traffic and just want to comfortably accelerate. If you don't need white knuckle performance this car will reward you with much better gas mileage. see full Hyundai Veloster review |

I cant wait till the tires wear out so I can replace them with better ones. Threadwear is good but it's noisy. see full Hyundai Veloster review |

The tires Hyundai chose for this car had to be chosen for price. There are much better ones out there. They do pretty well in the hot weather, but as soon as the rain comes I need to drive much slower and be careful in the corners. They are also quite loud which is annoying on the highway. Their tread life is pretty good and they have done well with heavy driving, but I will be getting my preferred tires (Yoko Avid Envigor) once these wear out. see full Hyundai Veloster review |
