Very Satisfied, great bang for the buck

By Minoan (KY) on Saturday, June 15, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 3,900

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I've had the car for a little over a month and have been very satisfied. The car is exceptionally well-equipped for what I paid, and I love the ride and handling; the 138 hp 1.6L worried me prior to buying as to how it would perform, but I have been pleasantly surprised. Paired with the six speed manual, the car performs well for an efficiency-aimed hatchback. I drive mostly highway, and have averaged a combined 40.6 mpg per tank over the last 3000 miles"

"I was Interested in the Veloster since first seeing the pics at 2011 car shows. I drove both the Turbo and non-turbo, in DCT, Manual 6spd and Automatic. The non-turbo 6spd manual hit the spot for me. The Turbo wasnt fast enough to garner the Turbo moniker and i see as the least desirable 'sporty hatch' in the market. The Eco-Sport Veloster, on the other hand, is tops in the 1.6L arena, non-hybrid vehicles. It isnt the fastest but 8.5 is pletny quick and it handles great. I have been averaging 30 mpg mixed driving on the botton as well."

"Needed a car with a rear seat for my son, but didn't want a regular four door car. Also needed good gas mileage since I drive about 30 miles each direction to work everyday."

"I was just looking into buying a car. I was of course on a budget and didnt want to spend a lot of money. My last car I replaced this car with was a Honda Civic 98. I bought that car brand new and still have it. So much for replacement, Oh well I still drive this car plus my g/f drives the car more then me. Now I did test out many cars I liked I am kind of basis I didnt test any American cars. My thoughts and impressions of my new ride. 1. The power of the car 138hp my civic got 106hp works for me plus dont need my g/f speeding anyways. 2. The clock on the radio sometimes dont say the correct time is that a big deal no I have a watch and a smart phone. 3. Not a gas hog, plus its a fun car to zig zag around town. Always gets attention chick magnet, but I have a g/f still a plus nice to talk to people and get their feedback. 4. The 2 blind spots for me are: making a left turn the outside mirror is in my way to look at the crosswalk. when backing up and looking on the side passenger view. Fixes for my problems were. Get little side mirrors on my mirrors itself HELPS SO MUCH with those side blind spots. And I did get a long BROADWAY MIRROR for the inside mirror. That little window in the back seemed so small. But that was a fixed now I see 100% better. Overall: I knew about some of the things since I research like no tommrrow on utube and test driving this car. I read people complain about power and gas mileage. All I can say you was a idiot for buying this car if that was important to you. Do your research to plunk down any kind of money know what your getting. I havent had any problems major with these car. I love it and I glad I bought it. Features too many to list but my favs are: lcd screen, alloys rims, and just the style of the car its just awesome to look at it. Upgrades in the future would be: exhuast, air intake, car speakers with small 8 inch tube sub with 2 ch amp. The only thing I wish it did have but I couldnt afford was the sunroof. But then again comes with other things I didnt want anyways there was no options to have one or the other."
