- What ever happens to those cars after you see them on the show floor at SEMA? Well they get auctioned off to used car dealers and people can just buy them! That's what happened here, and so we drive the most SEMA-ish car we've ever driven on the show, for better or worse.
"I'm trying to learn how to drive."
Its nice to see a guy who doesn't think hes the best driver ever.
"I'm not looking to add too much power, I'm trying to learn how to drive" That's one of the smartest things I've heard someone say on any of these one takes. Props to this guy, whether you like the car or not, he's got a great attitude.
From the outside it looks like it has 500+ hp and that's what matters the most.
Lol
Ahhhhhhahaha
lmfao I like that one
+Shadow Hamster BECAUSE RACECAR
+SupremacyGaming Because RICECAR
The fact it has all of those exterior mods and just an intake and an exhaust is a bit sad.
Welcome to SEMA show cars. ;)
+Troggie42 "Bro, so long as I leave the hood down they are sure to think it's got sick mods"
+NeverSurrender exactly
I was expecting something around 400 wheel.
+NeverSurrender all show and no go as they say...
I like the owner of this thing, he knows it's just a veloster,not being cocky and starting to give us bullshit like it's got a tune ,intake and exhaust and it's making 300 to the wheels blah blah, smoking v8s like no tomorrow. so on. good guy, good luck to him
+gofuck yourself #theinternet =( lol
Some of these guys just get excited so they just go on and on about their cars. I mean what car guy doesn't like talking about their cars?
Haha thanks I'm use to it with this car. It gets as much dislikes at it does likes. But hey my car hasn't broken down yet and I don't plan on it. Trying to do things smart. more power would be nice but that =$$$
+Sergio Martinez You have a great attitude. Keep doing you. Good luck!
+Sergio Martinez You have a great attitude. Keep doing you. Good luck!
"I hate to break it to you Sergio, but you wasted a heap of green on your heap of green......"
What synonym for $ rhymes with chartreuse?
Love how humble this guy is - really a good guy from the sound of it. He knows EXACTLY what his car is. He doesn't bump it up like it's some track monster, and most importantly, he's well aware that the car's abilities are likely over his head and the most important aspect is to learn how to drive. A good driver > a good car 9 times out of 10.
I'm not into Hyundais, but this guy is awesome and the car looks pretty good. Def. got some F&F going on, haha. People should take notes on this guy.
everyone watching is apperently making tea. the tea kettle is going off. lol
I legit just made some haha
+Saichisubbie808 I'm drinking some Bonja green tea ironically enough
+Saichisubbie808 Literally muted to find out what it was..
I was thinking, did I make tea and don't remember?
TH-camr I like the subbie too
It sounds like a belt was squealing the whole time
Wind noise not engine noise
+uNkLeRaRa4 ya I kept thinking the kettle was done! damn it I NEEDS MI TEAS!
I think it's those light bars above the windshield
No one of his mods is a tea maker in the back
+JWJ lol
Bro....you need a tune bro.......a tune is best bro.
+Terry Dolan
dude
+Terry Dolan bro
Track day bro, gonna go to track day bro, Hoosiers super toyo bro
+Terry Dolan YEAH BRO
Gotta confuse the ECU, right bro?
The light bar whistle is gnarly.
this guy is smart the 13's are so prone to problems. later models fixed the steering and also new internals.
dang Matt back off he knows it's not a power house, haha.
I thought my mom was making tea this WHOLE time._.
If you can't decide between a 2-door or a 4-door, get a 3-door!
Let me just point out the scenery....dang it looks beautiful!!
How great is this car it comes with a kettle for you to refill your coffee with how slow it is
lmaooo
goes faster than a Toyota 86 though
That Hyundai smell is going to be on you for a week Matt.
Some guys like the skank-stank, Matt may well be one of them........
Haha
+Scooby blue Pot, kettle, black
+Scooby blue It's the "good kush" lol
Smells like kimchi
I hope he gets it sorted, dialed in, and comes back.
+ptriq Yeah this car has so much potential i know this car could be amazing
I do too. platform is not ground breaking but Hyundai left alot of room to improve. I own one and have modified it a bunch I always have a smile and get a good laugh in it. it's like commuting I'm a quick go cart.
Who left the kettle on the stove?
I deadass had to pause the video and look in the kitchen to finally realize that it was the video lol
downpipe without a tune.... You are not gonna have a good time
+Steve Matchett damn thing must be leaning out like crazy
😂😂
+Dario Kruv plenty of people run DP with no tune on V's it's the most restrictive part of the car
+aaronjakositz That's exactly the reason you need a tune.
+Zcypot a tune won't fix a air flow blockage
Like most SEMA cars, all the mods were slapped on weeks before the show. Most of them are just for looks and not all that functional.
I learned that early on. the tires rubbing has been such an issue, I've had to cut the fenders to Hell. besides that the lights were never connected, tune was removed. a very restrictive muffler was put on... the list goes on lol
Sergio Martinez how is that car now?
Just a stage 1 tune for like 600 bucks and he could be putting down 240 whp and 270+ foot pounds to the ground. In a car that weights 2800 pounds it would be a lot more fun.
Weighs*
need to do internals before I tune. =( I don't trust these rods and pistons
+Sergio Martinez i talked to the guy at tork motorsports about their tune and he says they limit the 2013's to 230 wheel and they are plenty happy. Their shop veloster is a 2013. Since I'm going to be building a 1jz sc300 anyways a 2800 pound daily putting 230 to the ground is plenty for me. Especially 270 foot pounds. FUN!
+Zachary Strain thanks yes I can't afford to have a broken engine!
+bstryke15 I've talked to john (tork motorsports) as well. he told me the same thing. but if I'm going to spend money on a tune I rather spend some extra cash on rods and Pistons and really get the most out of the tune.
At 2:41 when Matt says "here we go" and the awkward silence after was hilarious
Lol, everyone bashing this car is still probably driving their moms. Plus you're supposed to be car people, you're all toxic to the scene.
I think he shouldn’t have done exhaust work. We’re not bashing this car 😂. It’s the cold hearted truth. I have my own car BTW
Forget the rods and pistons just get a tune and up the boost by 4-5lbs man.
Your a good dude Matt!
You can relate to beginners or pros, and your cool with everyone between.
Your way with people is the deference it what makes these videos entertaining.
Thx!!!
That torque steer comment had me in stitches! Car definitely has potential.
They aren't bad cars, put some stiffer springs on it, get a proper tune and they're pretty fun and handle well.
absolutely. don't underestimate this car
Matt did a great job on a fair assessment of an interesting car. I don't get why people trash other people's cars. Everyone has different levels of interests in cars and what they want from their cars. When there's a passion for driving and owning a car, no matter what, it's good for everyone in the hobby. A wide market base means a strong list of vendors pushing out all the fantastic parts we have available to us, if you want to go fast or not. We're living in a virtual renaissance of automobiles and it is specifically because of the variety and volume of interest. To claim some legitimacy issue on even one part of of that market is a disservice to the entire ecosystem of car enthusiasts. I own an Edsel and I own a 2015 Mustang GT. I get love, hate, and laughs for both, and just because one is fast and the other is a laughing stock (you choose which is which) it does nothing to change the joy I get in going to car meets and meeting other people enjoying cars. Love what you brung and respect that everyone else did to.
I feel good about my Honda now.
XD
LOOOL, I'd rather have a Honda than a Hyundai
oh god this just gave veloster's a worst name then they already have because they're a hyundai... still gotta love my veloster tho !
This is by FAR the most critical I've ever seen you of someones car. Even more than that girls Subaru. Is it cause of the expectations the paint job gives?
had no idea you could buy sema cars! Now to go find if they ever sold the SEMA Miata Speedster! I would 100% buy that!
dude! i love how you did the different views on the car mainly the engine bay this time. keep showing us the engine bays
matt..I love that you answer comments no matter how stupid they may be
wow matt you just destroyed this man and his car
+Andy onabuzz People don't come all the way from wherever to have me drive their cars and blow smoke up their ass, at least I hope they don't because they are kidding themselves. They come to me because they want the thoughts and suggestion of someone who's been at speed in a thousand cars. He wanted my advice on what to do next, and I gave it to him. Honesty is best.
+Andy onabuzz Destroyed? Hardly.
sounds like the car has everything to help you out once you're going fast and no way of getting there
OMG!! I was actually thinking about getting this car since it's going cheap(ish) in the UK due to the stoppage of production. I've already subbed to you guys ages ago and searched for a review but couldn't find one...
You have answered my prayers!!!! :D
A friend of mine owns a manual non-turbo veloster and that thing is the slowest fucking car I have ever driven. One time I was driving it and my friend was like "dude, floor it!" while I was merging on to the highway and the sad thing is I was already flooring it. lmao.
Im sure my GF's Prius will take it off the line. lol
+DJ MotoVlogs It gets 36-37mpg avg though with a lead foot. I have a tolerate/hate relationship with mine. Steering feedback is atrocious, build quality is cheap, handling sucks, but I spend so little on gas.
It's Ok as it's my daily driver and my 911 gives me my kicks.
Adam Small My friend's car gets horrible gas mileage something must be off with it.
That exhaust is sick af.
For a turbo i expected it to be a little faster, even stock. When a car looks like this, it could use a good engine-tune :)
I mess with one of these every day on my way to work. Some nice morning entertainment.
He just talked straight shit to this guy the whole time. damn.
I upgraded from a VT to a Miata to have a better handling car, and the Miata ended up being much quicker. The VT has to be the slowest 200hp car ever created lol. Love the reviews tho, always entertaining and keep me coming back!
Are the Takata stickers a sponsor or a caution?
I met Sergio at a track day about a month ago and got to ride in it, for it only having 200 horsepower, it felt like I was in a rally car
this is becoming one of my favorite shows great job always
Seems like a nice guy, car looks cool from the outside but possibly feels like jumping in too deep. A cheap Miata would have probably been a better choice to learn for price. I get the impression these SEMA car builds draw a lot of attention, but I'm also thinking that SEMA has a lot a cars that look great, but really suck on the road. Then again, the car seems to have all the right parts on it. Its simply taking it that next step and getting it all working together. I think Matt is right about getting all the stuff you have on the car tuned from suspension to the ECU.
As for some advice, you might be able to detune your power steering to make the steering more heavy, it could possibly provide more feel. With the weird rev hanging, I don't think its a tune. It will be something blocked or needs cleaning. A common problem on my car requires that I clean a specific solenoid every year or so or it will cause rev hang and even rev limiting. Its really strange, I recommend diving into the forums and I'm pretty confident you will find the solution.
This car is designed to be fun out of the box. Its great for commuters and people who want something stylish at low price. Why do people insist on thinking that every car has to be a super handling, fast diva?
ran Streets of Willow with this guy!
I don't know if its the car or Matt's audio, but I though my tea kettle was boiling halfway through this video.
+trolintime the whistling is coming from the roof-mounted light bar. same thing if you have a bike rack or something on the roof.
I think it looks great. I feel it looks more modern rally than it does fast and the furious. I can tell the owner loves it regardless of power output and that's all that matters. Matt was a bit harsh on this one.
TheSmokingTire - Its a very common problem with stock Veloster Turbos. A tune fixes that and gives you that extra 1k revs you want as well. It also opens up min of 40 extra wheel hp.
I just drove a Genesis Coupe 2.0T with a tune ad it did exactly the same thing
It hung? Maybe it's a Hyundai thing? I do know lots of people complain about the hang and my 2016 rspec has a hint of it. But a lot of people fix it with tunes. Maybe it's based on if the tuner has a focus on that or not? No clue... Happy driving though!
+TheSmokingTire I had a 2012 Accent before the FiST which did the exact same thing. It just kind of hangs out when you engage the clutch and goes ehhhhhhhhh okayI'llrevdown.
Sergio seems like an extremely humble dude. Hope you got that tune and the suspension all set up.
Tbh this is not my cup of tea.
+NightWingRB A little bit more engine work and it's absolutely perfect.
+NightWingRB A little bit more engine work and it's absolutely perfect.
+Jared Moore Your definition of "absolutely perfect" is very very weird.
Benedocta So I've been told lol
A great setup! The Veloster definitely provides a lot of value.
If the owner is reading comments: A proper street tune will actually make your car more reliable and less prone to breaking something. Having Bolt ons on a turbo car without the proper tune for them can seriously cause problems down the road. Just make sure you get it done by a reputable tuner.
I wanted to hate this car so bad, but I can't due to the owner. The car may not be my cup of tea; however, he's realistic about it and wants to improve his driving. I can more than respect that. Happy motoring sir!
Hey thanks man. yes getting better at driving is my goal. track days cost money! rather have seat time at the track than an engine build (for now =))
Hey Matt, you drove my car which appeared at SEMA 2 weeks later :). Not too much changed, just wheels and trunk.
That whistling made me think my tea was ready.
Oh cool, I read that the tea kettle whistle noise adds at least 50 hp ;^) I can almost guarantee that body kit or the Led light strips on the roof were never wind tunnel tested. That seems to be the source of the whistle. Luckily his exhaust is almost loud enough to cancel out the whistle ;^)
+qikqbn77 At first I thought it was someone driving outside my office with a bad power steering pump or really noisy belt, until I noticed it didn't go away and I realized it was coming from the video lol
Good-guy Sergio. Great review, Matt!
So this was the car that you were talking about, Matt. :)
He defiantly should have tuned it before this! looks sick still. I did some things to my Veloster recently too everyone should check it out
if I'm not mistaken these cars come with an electronic accelerator pedal, i would look into a gopedal. it would help tune just the feel and reaction of the pedal. My fiat 500 Abarth would hang revs at some points until i installed the gopedal.
my buddy has a sick abarth. love the exhaust on that car
Ya'll need to see that 500hp veloster turbo that was recently rigged up. That thing is a daily driver beast. (not to be confused with the blood type racing one)
Nice Car though for not being fast. I bet if he lightened the car more it would help the acceleration and speed! Also, that Cage is amazing, I can see the stiffness through the video...literally!
West-end is way more than 200 bucks for corner balancing and a alignment. They fixed a lot on my car and i ended up paying about 450 for an alignment, corner balancing and about 2hours of labor. That's after them cutting me a deal for the last hour of work. Their minimum i believe was 250 for just a quick corner balance without an alignment, which is useless to do. It would be a waste if you had to come back because of not having all your upgrades sorted.
+Themayseffect for me it was just $250 for corner balancing and alignment without any special deal. They do great work and I love going there.
*****
you are probably right, i had them do both but they charged me for another 2 hours because i had them change a lot of adjustable settings. Maybe it was 250 for both.
Takata? Did the seats explode into pieces?
hope the airbag isn't a Takata too
"there's no torque steer"...................................................................."Because there's not much torque" -Rest in peace owner's pride. you will be missed.
He should've reviewed a tuned veloster. Looks should always be secondary, but he did buy it from auction with the looks, good for him. Now is the time for the rebuild and get rid of that rev-hang.
at least the owner is honest, says he wants to learn how to drive mostly.
It's a nice car with sensible modifications. I'm not expecting a big number in horse power. The suspension seems to be on point which is way more than what most enthusiast will do. Before I upgraded the engine in my 92" s13 coupe, I upgraded the entire suspension. What I expect to see next is a few more engine mods and a tune.
Buys SEMA show car, gets told it's a good learner. SAVAGE
i have a 2013 veloster turbo with only upgraded intake and intercooler and i did a 1:43 at streets of willow. it was my first time racing it
I loled when he hit the bump and was like 'ooo man this is stiff'
I was a test driver for Hyundai for two years, and the Veloster turbo was not bad... not great... my 2003 Matrix would walk it, but it was not bad.
I started laughing to death when I heard him say Well it's still not fast LOL😂😂😂
I could tell how stiff it is when you took it from the side of the road where the stones were to the tarmac. It was catching every stone, this thing will handle on perfect surface, but on a shitty roads you can fly out of a corner.
The revs hanging is for emission compliance. The Genesis Coupe has the similar mapping.
I gotta give Hyundai props for at least their attempts at making sports cars. So far they've all been misses, but at least they're making a good try at it. At least Hyundai's seem to have come a LONG way in terms of quality in the last couple years.
That RattleCo exhaust was killing me, that and the whistling noise, other than that, nice car.
The new Hyundai Elantra finally has some OK steering, side by side with the previous model it's amazing. Just a thought to follow the limp velosteraptor steering
Car was sold by Monza Car in Sherman Oaks. Used to see it every day on my way too and from work.
YES!!!!!! MORE HYUNDAI!! CANT WAIT TO BRING MY CAR UP TO YOU.
Wish I was a bit closer and more time.. I'd love for you to drive my Veloster turbo. 260whp/290wtq and a more forgiving suspension. Plus even more turbo noises.
I hope he got this for a good price. It's a great learners car
lol Matt Ferrah be throwing low-key shots all through the video. haha funny shit!
That car looks badass 😲😴
In this case looks can be very deceiving...
+chris loofboro
So true 😓
+michael vickers Eh to each their own....I'd be embarrassed to drive that that droning sticker fest.
Come on man... you knew what the car was gonna be when you chose to review it. You cant lay into the guy so hard. It is what it is. Obviously the guy liked his car for what it was and your critiques made it awkward. Judge the car fairly in relation to what it is. Sorry its not a Venom GT every time.
+Kevin I wasn't laying into the guy at all. I was perfectly nice to him and appreciative of him sharing the car. I was also honest, and gave him recommendations to improve the car in the future, which is what he was expecting when proactively submitting his car for a review. And besides, if I have to choose between being honest with the 560,000 person audience of this show and making the owner happy by blowing smoke up his ass, I'll take the audience every time.
+TheSmokingTire You did seem a little overly disappointing by not having enough power. Its understandable considering how much effort has gone in to modifying just about everything else. But you are on one of the fastest roads in that area, so a lot of cars would seem slow shy of 400hp lol.
+TheSmokingTire
Agreed. It helps me understand how the car actually functions.
you have to give constructive criticism in any review. if matt wasn't being truthful with him, he might as well just lie to him and tell him it a wonderful car with its current tune. Matt can help this guy by seeing holes in the build and then give his recommendations for improvement.
+Kevin +TheSmokingTire It's strange as my overriding emotion after watching this video was that Matt really does come across as just the nicest guy. He doesn't look down on the chap for not having the world's most expensive and powerful car, he reviews the chap's car with humour and honesty and he gives the bloke some useful advice about what he'd recommend doing next. These One Take videos really are superb - great variety in machinery but they're reviewed with such great personality by Matt that I just don't get bored of them AT ALL. Keep up the awesome work and people like me will keep watching!
The idle hanging thing is either your map sensor or IAC sensor.. My srt4 did the same thing for years.
Hey Matt.... what did You think that I let You roll in a Hyundai? 😂
i kept hearing a tea kettle going on as the car drove. lol
He paid $37,000 US before tax from the used car dealership. It was advertised as a "SEMA Hyundai Track Car".
no way !!!!!! WTF???? he could have bought a C6 Corvette
+Benjamin Graham how do u know
***** John Harvard, a friend of mine, owns the dealership where it was bought and sold. We both had a laugh about it.
Oh...... I was thinking it was more in the 7k range 😮
+Terry Dolan I was realistically thinking 18k
Never had the throttle hang. Unhooking the gear indicator made a difference with the throttle. Almost feels like a cable now.
That wind noise would drive me up the wall.
sema the future of used cars
A tune won't fix the rpm holding. Most of Hyundai's cars do that to assist rev matching into the next gear and smoother take up. Even new i30's do it.
Im pretty sure the revs are hanging like that because of the 50/50 bypass he installed (to get the "right noises" as Matt would say). So yes a tune would fix it.
This was happening before the exhaust was installed.
