Regular Car Reviews: 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo

  • The Veloster is to Hyundai in 2013 what the CB750 was to Honda in 1969. The Hyundai Veloster is the gem of the company's new Premium Youth Lab sub-brand, filling the gaping wound the Tiburon left on the mortal flesh of Hyundai's corporate carcass in 2008.
    If I had the money for a turbocharged hatchback, I would buy a used Honda CX650 and a Dodge Omni.

      MechRider89 They make a few good cars now and have come a long way from where they were. A very, very loooong way. (In Canada, we had the, uh, "pleasure" of being introduced to Hyundai before the US with a small car called the Pony and a midsized car called the Stellar. Those who think the Excel and Sonata were bad have no idea what those abominations were like.)

      +MeddlingWithMetal That's actually brilliant journalism at work. Jeremy Clarkson does it, but not as good as this guy. You counter your own points, (Subtly in this case) and make the viewer/reader/listener/longpooper decide their own opinion. It's also a part of writing. You let the reader create what you WANT them to create. Something that is uniquely theirs. You don't forcefeed them an image.

    They should really stop trying to design cars for the "youth market" because nobody in that category has enough money to spend on this.....and when they rarely do, they are usually smart enough to get something better or [depending how you look at it] shallow enough to just get a Mustang because all girls are impressed by Mustangs and pussy is what really matters

      +Pinfari13 (me being late to the game again) Bought a 2014 Veloster Turbo about 2 months ago (new, still sitting on the dealer's lot... got a deal, obviously) I see a few around me. The NA Velosters are mostly being driven by kids in their 20s. Me... I'm 52. a grandpa. So far, the only other turbos I've seen around me are being driven by guys in their 50s. It's a mid-life crisis car for people who can't afford a summer car and a winter car. Sporty enough to feel like a sports car when you want it to, so long as you don't take it to the track, practical enough to be a daily driver and occasionally haul the grandkids or the dog around. Good on gas, decent handling, and can get up and move when you want it to. Personally, I love the design, but that's a matter of taste.

      As a suicide-door configuration it makes more sense, since it's not as asymmetrical. The front doors of the Clubman and Sierra are still the same size. This thing is weird, which isn't bad. It's just weird.

    • @inudude15
      @inudude15 10 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      A non-car person who thinks they're buying a sporty car. Any "youth" driving a manual would bypass this for a used WRX, EVO, S2000, Mustang GT, 350Z/370Z, RX-8, MX-5, M3, M5, etc, etc, etc. Anyone with the bankroll to buy it new would buy the Fiesta or Focus ST, the Fiat 500 Abarth, the new WRX/STi, the current Mustang GT with track pack, etc, etc, etc.
      This is just a sporty car for people who want to think they've got a sports car without actually doing any research or committing to a real sports car...

    • @zacharylavoie6889
      @zacharylavoie6889 9 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      "base model" WRX cost $26500. 'base model' focus ST cost $23600. And a V8 mustang costs over $30000. The R-Spec Veloster Turbo costs $22500. Which is at least a grand LESS than the cheapest other car listed. I personally feel as though it LOOKS better than the ST and WRX (at least the new 2015 models). From what i understand it doesn't drive as well or feel as good as the ST, but the fact that you'll stand out from the crowd is always a good feeling. Can't really compare it to the WRX or Mustang as they're in a totally different class of car (AWD and RWD can't really be compared fairly to a FWD car). Honestly, I'd buy one. It's sporty enough, looks sexy as hell, and as i said before, it's just different. Not to mention Hyundai's amazing warranty and the massive steps they've taken in the auto industry since the late 1990's /early 2000's.

    • @DubRighteous
      @DubRighteous 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Zachary LaVoie
      The base N/A Veloster is the one at 22-23k. The turbo Velosters are all within the 27-28k range. That IS within the ST, WRX and the outgoing '14 Mustang GT price ranges.
      You don't stand out in a Veloster, it's a FWD Hyundai for Christ's sake. Could be a rental for all we know.

    • @zacharylavoie6889
      @zacharylavoie6889 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Yeah good luck finding a dealer selling them spec'd at those prices.
      I went on my nearest Hyundai dealer's site. All turbos are at 26-28k. Universal Hyundai it's called.
      My nearest Ford stealership would sell you a STs for 23-25k. Still the Veloster makes no sense. Specially when you remember the Fiesta ST.

    Man, these videos are so much more than car reviews - they're like total introspective journeys or analytic musings on general and cultural concepts with a nice little occasional sprinkling of spastic insanity peppered on top. The cars are almost an afterthought... Sort of reminds me of a more neurotic version of Drift0r's CoD gaming videos where he mutes the sounds of the game and just elaborates on his crazy dreams about vampires for eight straight episodes. I think I actually _learn_ stuff from this insanity.

    Fiance bought a 2013 N.A. Veloster about 3 months ago. Traded in her 2005 Civic Si which had been nothing short of a british electrical nightmare since we bought the thing. The veloster is smooth past 90 MPH, 6-speed is notchy and responsive, and the steering is heavy enough to give some feedback, though it isn't like the hydraulic or manual steering of yesteryear.
    I'd say 3 years later, the Veloster is fairing better than your review gave it credit! The asymmetrical door is great when you want to have passengers only load from the non-driver side! The hatch gives it tons of space! The glass roof means way less paint to wax!
    The only downside is I sometimes burn my leg on the center-mount exhaust when taking groceries out of the trunk.

    I own a '13 Veloster Turbo. Hits bumps hard, slower than it looks. It FEELS fast, though. I never have the issues people mention about understeer, it handles quite nicely, and I can outperform my brother's newer (can't remember the year) Mitsubishi Lancer. Even though I know I'll lose it's hella fun to do short little races on the road when I see other fast cars, pushing that tiny engine and hearing that turbo hiss never gets old. The looks I get on my car are something I take pride in (really nice custom black rims and the deep blue paint are pretty eye-catching), even though I know it's just for show. The surround sound in it was decent, but my girlfriend's '15 Dart put it to shame and I wound up revamping my entire sound system. All-in-all, this is a niche car for FUN, not for winning races -- and it does a fantastic job of it.

      I daily a used Veloster Turbo. Absolutely love it. Taken it 20,000 miles and no issues with regular maintenance. Takes sharp corners like a champ. Fits in tight parking spaces and easy to parallel park. I think mine also had some nice options like motorized seat adjustment and heated seats.

    I wish that door configuration was available on other models. It's brilliant! Statistics say that you drive alone over 90% of the time. So why not have yourself a bigger door? Like in a coupe! And more doors on the passenger side, because you don't care, you don't drive on that side, and it's good for insurance.

    I have a recommendation regarding a car that I have not seen requested yet. This is the 2000-2002 Audi (B5) S4. It was the first "affordable" car that came with a twin-turbocharged V6 and can now be had for as low as ~$4000. These cars can also be quickly modified to produce power levels that even make them competitors for low-end supercars. I feel as though there is a very large market for the cars but the people who purchase them always seem to regret it when maintenance bills pile up. I personally own one of these cars and I am located in central Ohio. I would happily let you borrow mine for a review. Thanks!

      I'll quote a guy from a few comments up: "This things cost more than a Focus ST, a WRX and almost the same as a V8 Mustang." "Any "youth" driving a manual would bypass this for a used WRX, EVO, S2000, Mustang GT, 350Z/370Z, RX-8, MX-5, M3, M5, etc, etc, etc. Anyone with the bankroll to buy it new would buy the Fiesta or Focus ST, the Fiat 500 Abarth, the new WRX/STi, the current Mustang GT with track pack, etc, etc, etc.
      This is just a sporty car for people who want to think they've got a sports car without actually doing any research or committing to a real sports car..."
      That's just the truth man... If you have the money and you like cars even slightly, get one of the cars mentioned above. Sporty cars are fun to chuck around corners... The Hyundai just isn't because it's not actually sporty and it's front wheel drive. Hyundais and Kias will never be a "cool" car, for the sole reason that they're a Hyundai or Kia... They have way too big of an image problem...

      TL Pantalones the veloster came in 2012, so theres not much history to be compared to, but what i do know is that it shares a platform with the elantra and has parts of the Accent, both of which have decent history. And being a non-enthusiast also meants that performance is valued, but not as high on my priority list. In the end i think i'll go with a mazda 3 s, or a manual 2015 MS3 if it comes soon.

I just don't see why you'd get this over a car that's more fun to drive and more practical as well(I mean, 3 doors, really?)...

      Fatal_Inertia you win off the line because you have so much less power you dont get wheel hop. half the gti owners are people who dont understand the concept of a summer tire or grippy tires in the front. Or a suspension or LSD to handle the power(for insane people). If a mk6 or mk7 GTI had a tune and good tires youd loose by many car lengths. Fiesta tuned also is faster. The Veloster turbo is inadequate compared to other hot hatches. Its just facts. If you like the styling and like your car more power to ya. But in all brutal honesty there are a lot more hot hatches or what ever the fuck a veloster turbo is, with a similar price that are way more capable cars. Not to mention they have real tuning platforms with a lot of R&D put in already.
