    Just got myself a 2017 matt grey Veloster Turbo. 😎 Such a fun car to drive. Real eye catcher and a great balance between sporty and yet civilized enough to drive every day.

    I've had one for a few months now and the thing is unique. Threw an intake on it and man has it just been a joy to drive. I'm almost always smiling. Don't expect it to be super reliable though, take care of the engine and turbo. Get a catch can run premium gas, stay on top of oil an matinece. Dont be an absolute mad man bangin it off the red line, its not a Toyota. Do your research and you should 100 percent get the most out of this amazing KDM car.

    Had the NA version for 2 years and now a '13 turbo for 4 years in Canada. It's been a reliable platform, definitely unique, tons of features for the price and model year. Not as diverse as Honda, Subaru, Toyota in terms of aftermarket support but you still have a good array of companies if you're going down the performance route.

      I've a 13' VT and I live in mid-Ohio, so I'll be honest and say it's certainly not the best in winter weather, however I will say I never had an issue getting stuck or anything so far, my biggest issue has been icey hill-y driveways and even with a bit finesse you can get it up them depending on your tire. It's a much more summer car than winter, but I've not had any serious issues even with heavy snow driving to work in the mornings

    0:37 Not sure where you got your pricing from, but I bought a new Veloster Turbo in 2016 (stick shift, but _sans_ the tech package, as I didn't want the built-in GPS or sunroof - but that package was only another $1500) and paid just under $19k - far from the "upper $30,000" you suggested.
    PS: I stuck with the 18" rims - no more rough riding than the 17" imho. 🙂

    Stay away from the veloster. I had two of them. Probably the worst car I’ve ever owned. Engine issues which resulted in recalls. I had a replacement just for my turbo to go out as well. The Hyundai company cut their supply Chains when the pandemic hit. To this day the appointments are 5-6 months out. Both dealerships that are close to me couldn’t even give me a date. :( Fun car but they are not meant for speeding like they advertise. You don’t want to push on those rpm’s to long and also staying in a speed from 70-80 for to long can cause issues later on. Just look at their manuel book.

      My kia forte 1.6 turbo has been very reliable, I drive mine on the Highway at hight rpms. No issues, now change the oil every 3k and I use hotshot FR3 in every oil change., Catch can is a most. If you take care of the car and do not neglect oil changes they last. If you want Toyota reliability and you are lazy keeping maintenance on par, buy a Toyota .
