Regular Car Reviews: 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 січ 2014
- 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. - Авто та транспорт
I sometimes can't tell what his actual opinion of the car is.

+MeddlingWithMetal He does this with so many reviews :P
+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.

***** woah

i remember back when i was 4 or 5 i thought hyundai was a direct rip off of honda
Haha me too!
Well, damn, I mean, look at their logo, it looks like a Honda logo that melted or something!
lol yet they had Mitsubishi engines in them! I hate Hyundia but I would buy a Genesis coupe for sure, its a great car.
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.)
Ya, I had the miss fortune of driving a pony once...aaggghh death traps! (I'm Canadian also.)
Sup!
Mighty Car Mods What is up? I am drinking a 1/2 serving of a protean shake for breakfast because I am out of cereal. I also have a cup of coffee and a Fiber One bar. I call it "The Gentrification Cleanse" because in MOVES THE BROWN.
MOVING THE BROWN MOVES THE GREEN TO MOVE MORE BROWN.
RegularCars When is Not So Regular Cars going to exist?
Mighty Car Mods hey!
RegularCars So when's the MCM plus Regular Cars mash-up episode that we need to have now?
Somehow, you managed to say "Hyundai" using all 3 pronunciations...
+CWINDOWSsystem32 my favorite Hyundai pronunciation was 'Hoonday'.
Aussie Muscle Too bad that this is one Hyundai that will never see a hoon day...
+CWINDOWSsystem32 We spell it "Hyndai". Y like yyhh. Not "ii" sounding.
It's pronounced "Hyun-deh". Source: 2 hours of Korean school every Saturday in elementary school when all my white friends were playing football or jerking each other off or whatever Caucsasian kids did on Saturdays
We mostly just eat unhealthy amounts of food and jerk off to pictures of Camaros.
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
The R-Spec version of this car is actually a pretty good. Also if you need a car to impress a girl then you have a shitty personality and you're going after shallow females
so... most highschool seniors?
You mean a fairly high percentage of males from the ages 0f 15-27.
Tyer Estes damn 27? They all want benz and bmws
I mean they are very cheap and well made compared to VW or Ford. I got a Turbo for 14k when it was worth 18k on KBB.com.

"Nor will your anti-capitalist girlfriend appreciate the sharp angles and classic sports car configuration"
Scarily accurate.
Millermacs fr ?
He always is and it’s frightening
Auto makers really need to stop "designing cars for the youth market". They always miss and we end up with a bunch of women in their 50's buy them because "oh hey doesn't that look special?"
Andrew Wittwer Yeah designers really are trying too hard in the car industry. I rented a new-ish Ford Focus before and I couldn't stand how the interior made me feel like a pre-teen boy
Andrew Wittwer Seems like the whole 'GTI' era had it right. An upgraded model from your typical POV spec, basic range.
+Andrew Wittwer When I got my Veloster in 2013, the few other new Velosters that passed me were driven by young dudes who would wave back when I'd wave.
Now it's 90% grandmothers.
+Pinfari13 Or 2014 scion tc's It was special for me in 2013... gave it 6 months it was everywhere and anywhere like justin bibers baby back when it first came out, so I crashed mines and It's payed off. Win!
+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.
I love how I can watch these with my 10 year old brother right next to me in the room while I'm wearing headphones and it looks like I'm just watching car reviews but he would be scarred for life if he heard the audio on some of these videos:)
Thought about that at the gym....
Never thought the Free Soil Party would ever be mentioned in a car review. But it was.
Holy shit.

4:10 MCM Shoutout! Well done....
FWIW, MCM partnered with Hyundai last year and made a video on taking care of the Matte Plasti-Dip like finish on a Veloster Turbo.
These Obscure references are getting fun
So wait... this fuckin thing has one door on the driver's side and two on the passenger side?
didn't Saturn try that goofiness too?
+Sadpants McGee My GMC Sierra has the same configuration.
+Sadpants McGee or like a renault kangoo in entry level/workhorse models. FAAAANNNCCCYYYYY
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.
+Sadpants McGee Yup, didn't even notice did ya?
I like how you pronounced Hyundai differently each time
That way nobody can tell him the pronunciation is wrong lol
He yun day 😂
@@safetytfh its still wrong, i dont see how your point stands
Your metaphors are legendary.
These videos are one of the few things helping me get through the working week.
In all honestly I have never enjoyed a far review like this before. Your sense of humor, analogies and banter are perfect and I hope one day you become famous for it
2022 here; this Netflix commentary aged like milk.
This things cost more than a Focus ST, a WRX and almost the same as a V8 Mustang.
Who in their right mind buys this?
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...
"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.
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.
That's a negative. Go on hyundais site. Base models start at around 18k. R spec is 22k.
Zachary LaVoie
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.
Then here in 2021, you have the N. One of the best options in the segment period.
Can’t believe I’ve missed these reviews for the last 9 years! Simply outstanding.
House of Leaves reference. Dope. Keep up the good work. Not sure how I just found this channel, but I'm glad I did. Thanks!
Days like these, where I find a new Regular Car Review waiting for me in the subscription window? Yeah, those are good days.
Lol, "Marty and Moog". Someone watches Mighty Car Mods.
my shit
***** holden? D:D
***** Ford is aussie? well you learn something new everyday... (nosarcasm)
***** Damn i forgot mustang was made in australia...
It makes me happy to know they're fans of each other. How badass would it be to have a regular cars review of a mcm project car?
I love your videos man. I'm originally from Reading area and have been living in VA since 06 I really miss those windy PA mountain roads.
Your intellect couple with the beautiful scenery make me reminisce every time I watch a video.
Nice MCM shoutout! Two of my favorite car channels on youtube
"Sup Marty and Moog" :DDD
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.
I never thought of it as a youth car, it always comes through as a car for lesbians who are too butch for the Mini countryman.
YESS! The only people I see driving them
I will never see this car the same now. Thank you xD
This has ruined my desire for one.
As a lesbian who owns a Veloster, I feel strangely seen and also attacked by this comment
Profoundly entertaining review!….. I have no idea what to take away from this
That sky though!
As both a Honda guy (before they got rid of all their coupes) and now a Veloster owner living out his 20s in his 30s, I feel personally attacked by this.
Hahahaha. This video is fucking great!! Keep it up man!!
I like this episode best, You guys are getting better!
hahaha nice MCM reference, I just found this channel and love it
Thanks for reviewing my car, your reviews are always top notch! Get that cheddar rolling in!
lvcsslacker The only way it would have a negative affect is if you put a crankcase breather to make it sound more like a legitimate BOV which gives you compressor surge which is bad.
your car is junk lol

'Sup Marty and Moog! :D
So much more than a car review , your writing is so frigin entertaining !
Hey I love the videos. Keep it up man.
It's crazy how your speech about Netflix has so much mpre meaning in 2020...
Awesome Mighty Car Mods shout out!
I have never Laughed and been so intellectually stimulated by a UA-cam channel before. I love it
Loved the mighty car mods shout out.
i love when this dude goes off on some totally irrelevant but it is still relevant
Hyundai had a proper race team in the 90s and they even revived it back now. They competed in WRC with the Hyundai Coupe Kit-Car and the Accent WRC car in the late 90s early '00 and now the i20 WRC car.
It made me smile to hear the MCM reference. Made me even happier to see the MCM reference noticed by everyone.
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 enjoyed the MCM shout out at 4:10~
I love their show, and now, while working on cars, speak only in Australian accents and convert everything to KW...
and everything is for 'under fifty bucks'
I miss your insane reviews that you used to do before this, like the Volvo reviews you've did. I hope you're planning on making more like those ones
Hang with us, we're going right back down the gutter soon enough, we just have to make it thought a few more special snowflakes first.
RegularCars i'm ready for the meat.
This is brilliant. You guys keep it up xD
lmaoo Yonkers mechanics and MCM references... I can't believe you went there. I need to sub now.
Sup Marty and Moog!! HAHA Good stuff guys!
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 own a 2013 nav, but this is still spot on.
My car got totaled and im looking for a fun manual car to daily drive. I found a 2016 turbo for 10k~ would you recommend for that?
@@sporkforker186 I definitely would
You make me like cars even more.
I hear you on finishing 'house of leaves.' That was a crawl and I'm pretty sure my eyes were bleeding at the end.
love the mcm reference :)
Love the Naked Lunch reference!
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.
Good review.
Gotta love the MCM reference! :D
That sunset is gorgeous
I actually really like this car. if you are use to driving KDM cars (because they all kind of fell the same) this car feels great. if you're coming from something else. it's weird. it takes some getting use to. but once you get the hang of it. it's a fantastic car
90's hondas were the bomb
this is my favorite youtube channel.
Hahahahahah the Roman's intro songs are always perfect for the car. Utterly brilliant.
Review a genesis coupe!
Yes!
i have a 2.0 turbo. unfortunately i live in california.
I'd love to see him to a post-2013 model year 3.8 coupe; those things sound great.
I have a bone stock 10 3.8 track coupe.
if nothing else i applaud hyndai for doing something quite difference in terms of the 3-doors thing. im not sure if thats a first but ive literally never seen it done before, and the blending of coupe lines and driver side long door with sedan practicality and easy-to-enter passenger doors is......quite nice.
i actually kinda hope the kia stinger concept ends up with a similar configuration
Parents had a ranger with 3 doors, it was hidden behind the passager door. Mother would open her door so I could squeeze out of mine then shut both before begrudgingly trod off to school
My dad had a 93 mercury villager with 3 doors
This review is top notch !!

I've been thinking about trading in my boring as hell 2013 Elantra for one of these, or even a turbo R-spec. I can't tell if I want it more or less after this video, and that's why I love this channel
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.
@@notgray88 so I actually ended up getting a 2016 Jetta GLI with about 75k miles. Rock solid so far for the 2 years I've had it, and since it's basically a jetta with the GTI motor and a 6 speed, it's actually decently fun
C5 or C6 Corvette next. Regular enough to be on "Regular Car Reviews". Hardcore enough to make this guy flip his balls.
I like watching these videos more than the real Top Gear
Its a nice looking car!
mighty car mods!!!!!!!
PORCUPINE!
i love your videos! please do a review on Honda Element!
Although I still don't get most of the references, this was a great return to form after the last few episodes.
Got my 2015 VT and I love it , my first sporty car , use to drive a old suv and a old truck before that , having a lot of fun with it
The problem I have with Hyundai nowadays is that they went upscale with their pricing strategy....they really don't make cheap, entry level cars anymore. Case in point; the 2014 Accent starts at $14,600....for that kind of money, there are better alternatives.
justsomeguytoyou I don't know dude it's a really nice car. Allot better than things such as the Nissan versa of the time or Nissan altima
@@dean8067
By this point Hyundais should be considered a few ranks higher than Nissan. Nissan is at a free-fall right now.
Kia filled that cheaper market after Hyundai saved their ass from bankruptcy, but Kia are now making the stinger so what the hell do I know.
dude. so much has changed man
Lol 14k for a brand new car that is insane now
Hey mr regs! I've got a 1st gen Kia forte sx sedan 6MT. You've done the stinger, veloster, spectra but if you're ever planning a trip to Vermont or want an excuse to come up here, would love to have your commentary lol
I love the fact that you pronounce Hyundai consistently wrong in all your videos. That little wince I feel every time you say it meshes so well with the overall tone of the channel.
TOO MANY NEW CARS. NEED MORE 80s and 90s CARS.
Hang in there...we're going back to the 1980's soon enough...and how!
RegularCars DeLorean? Please tell me its a DeLorean! XD
RegularCars DeLorean??!!
As for the Veloster, maybe the 2014 R-spec might give a little more street credibility to the car and ideas to Hyundai from tuners willing to sacrifice good taste and street manners for additional horsepower or STANCE.
TheZProtocol A car for the well off Proletariat? The juxtaposition that ultimately made the car fail. False hope. Yes please.
RegularCars Mitsubishi Starion, or Dodge Daytona Turbo perhaps?
To me, the Veloster is that one kid you had in your arts and crafts class who you thought had down syndrome. I mean three passenger doors? Who did they let design the concept of the car, Top Gear? Who designs a car with only 3 passenger doors!? Did the people at Hyundai smoke some meth and decided "Hey! We should let Jeremy Clarkson design our next car!" If that's the case, they should have let Nissan and Alfa Romeo design the car and build a newer Arna.
I think Jeremy actually did a article on the V, he despised it.
*****
he absolutely hated it.
Chimera is pronounced Kim-air-Ah. Enjoy that melon baller. Love your channel and the refrences Mr.Regular.
Props for the Mighty Car Mods plug!

Impressive how you figured out this early that Hyundai was moving up in the world. Look at Hyundai/Kia/Genesis now

Nice shout-out to Mighty Car Mods (MCM). Keep doing what you're doing. Time for the 944.
Loved the MightCarMods shout out.
"Wow that Hyundai is SICK!" - Said no proper car enthusiast ever.
yeah 151KW!!!!! MAD
Reeeealy waiting for Tiburon review.
Did you review the suburban the same time you reviewed the veloster?
When I think of Hyundai, I think of the company that makes the Genesis Coupe. I don't give a shit about the rest of their cars, but the Genesis Coupe is really something.
It's honestly not a bad car. The engine leaves much to be desired, but I was pleasantly surprised by how it handled. It handles better than a good portion of cars I've driven, including my beloved WRX.
Plus there are 4 or 5 canned tunes that require zero bolt-ons which will bump power by ~40hp. This is one of those cars that will have a tuner renaissance in about 3 years.
@@nalgene247 Where do I find these tunes? I'd love to test out some modifications on my Veloster now that the warranty is expired. I don't really have any experience with modification other than cosmetics but I'd like to start learning how.
Once again, great video! You should review a 2018 Elantra sport. Much more refined package.
Wasn't there another video about this car like a POV drive or something? I vaguely remember them talking about drilling a bunch of holes in the grill because there's a ton of plastic in the way of the radiator/intercooler.
im conflicted, i had my sights set on this car, but is it really that bad? on the other hand its hard to take this review seriously, especially with criticisms that were clearly meant for poking fun. Good for a chuckle, but not informative.
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...
Mythbuster seems like sound advice, but what are you basing this on? have you driven and compared these cars? What about factors OTHER than sportiness? (i am not a sports car enthusiast, but i like going fast from time to tome)
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.
Mythbuster WRX starts at 27K - the Veloster Turbo with everything including automatic costs around 22K. $5K is too large of a price difference to compare the two imo.
***** I am just quoting a guy I agree with, as you can read. But yes it is an extreme case of bias... In the favor of the Hyundai! I absolutely HATE and DESPISE any 1990s Euro Ford and I hate the 500 as well because it´s a disgrace to the original(FF-layout, way too big, way too expensive), same with the new Minis. 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?)... Unless of course, you didn't do any research on what sporty car to buy and you thought "that'll do!"... Which seems likely... :/
Do a 2013 Dart Turbo!
its just a neon with a new name
Kingck Actually it's an Alfa Romeo Giulietta with a new body.
Listening Point And I'd actually rather have the Giulietta. It's like they took the pretty Giulietta and then gave it a plastic surgery to make it look worse.
Woo Cheol Shin
Plus the Giulietta has loads of heritage and prestige.
***** Well, something needs to beat the 2008-2010 Cobalt SS Turbo...Seems like even the newer fast compacts still can't beat it...for years later :P.
this was probably the most intelligent car review i have ever seen...
Just bought a 2013 non turbo for a work car. Love it. Great mileage runs smooth shifts well.
I bought one like 3 weeks ago. Absolutely love it.
“Missingno” not “missingnew”
I'm the only one in the comments who actually owns one of these and I have to say it's not a bad car at all
nope, i've got a 2014 turbo. I love it.
I've got one as well.
Slow.
Beaten by every other car in it's class (Focus ST, GTI, MS3)
The fiesta st isnt faster haha I smack em all the time
Also beat GTIs in it too, just gotta shift faster :p That car can hit 60 in 60 seconds if you know what you're doing with the stick. The auto is pretty sluggish
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.
