The longest Ive kept a car

Although it was only a few years that I had the Veloster, I had no intention of giving it up until I wrecked it. I cannot think of a single thing I could complain about except the occasional rattles and the right front speaker regularly going bad. But with that warranty, its hard to go wrong. The 6 speed was a gas to drive too.…

This car has gone through a lot. Only issue Ive ever had was a turbo underboost error which was fixed by restarting my car. im 64 230lbs and I fit in this car easily. Not the best for driving others around. The backseat is not very comfortable if youre over 510 Car handles great. HAs just enough power to have some fun. cruises extremely nicely on the highway.…
Harsh ride and unreliable engine

Because if you want to ride like sports car, you got it. The turbo's 18" wheel is actually an overkill or let's just say feels like a second thought by Hyundai throwing those on to please the youth crowd for the looks, while simultaneously taking ride quality to a place, which resides between annoying and unacceptable.
While I'm not saying it rides like the axles welded on the body, just switching to a side smaller 17" wheels and adding that extra half inch tire wall, it suddenly feels like that Hyundai really intended and did all its road testing with a 17" and adjusted the suspension for that size. Staying with the suspension topic, unfortunately - if you are a 2nd or 3rd hand buyer- you are inheriting all the issues the previous driver(s) may have inflicted on the suspension, just look for bent parts on the wheels and suspiciously large amount of balancing weights put on the wheels. Also be a look-out for a beat up suspension, receiving all the punishment coming from the oversized wheels with virtually no sidewall on the ultra low tires from the factory. Just a reminder, the car's ancestry line is from some of the cheapest Hyundai models - Accent/Elantra- not really designed to handle 200Hp and harsh acceleration, nevermind rigid springs and low profile tires transfering every bump and hole up the suspension parts and steering. The car will develop- unless already featuring- a vibration or a shake at certain speeds, forcing the owner for multiple visits to the tire place for alignment and wheel balancing.
Not once in 2 years, but more like 3 times a year. It's actually worth to do get a complete diagnosis on the front suspension and replace nearly every component after a certain amount of miles, unless you can cope with vibration and road noise. And yes road noise. This car has zero insulation so having those 7.5" wheels with ultra low profile tires, it really sounds like you're sitting on the wheels themselves. Add the cheap plastic interior, and you got a symphony of rattles and shake and tire noise and your'e instinctively reaching for the volume knob on your radio, which features volume leveling option, but doesn't work at all.…
