Horrid review... You basically said from the get go that you didn't like the car and you think its weird. Even if you didn't like it you should use words like unique because maybe some people love this sort of thing.l. Why not get someone unbiased for a test drive? I live in Canada and bought a 2014 Turbo Veloster and I love it even in the snow. Handles amazing, good on gas. A sports car without the sports car pricing. And all the technology behind it. Seriously. Yes its built for a younger market. Single or a couple. Its no family car but you never went through the audio, parking assist, options, interior or trunk space. How did you even get this job?

FillyJeanOfficial - Car and Driver are known to be euro and domestic fanboys. They don't like Asian cars.

@lcar4000 9 лет назад

+Jimmy Lai That's really not true. The magazine has raved about Hondas for years.

@dazuko8839 4 года назад

Yeah I was getting annoyed through the video.

@jessicakibler9181 6 месяцев назад

I love it

@brettdesnoyers3831 4 месяца назад

I have the exact car 2013 with 79,000 km. It is great? Get me right. I don't get to drive many other cars . Esp exotics

@mitchellsteindler 9 лет назад

Awful review...you talked about nothing and showed us nothing. Why not just tell us how much power and actually test the zero to sixty time? Why not actually show us the car taking some corners at speed? What was the point of this video?

@K-kreationz 12 лет назад

I bought a 2013 veloster (non turbo) and I love it!!! How often do people really put a turbo to its full use anyways, other then to show off and look dumb. this is a perfect car for first time buyers looking for something unique and unlike every other car you see on the road. really stands out and is very practical. get the look and personality of a sport coupe, practicality of a hatchback and it handles as much as you need a car to along with great gas mileage. It is my new favorite car

@bensocharles6322 8 лет назад

This car is fuckn beautiful

@tomasmolinari1543 10 лет назад

It's an economy car that's supposed to look sporty and comfortable to drive, and convenient. If you want sheer sport and power, get the Genesis and be done with it.

@atomicpunk5318 8 лет назад

And your a professional reviewer. That was terrible, a total lack of information and biased.

@conorkeane2932 10 лет назад

What a boring review. uuuughhh

@peterf1 11 лет назад

"It's got 50% more HP and 50% more torque, and that gives you 50% more fun" No wonder I stopped subscribing to C&D.

@mongrelmind1 10 лет назад

How could anyone take this guys opinion seriously? He mad a decision to wear his sideburns like that. His out-dated aviators and shirt/jeans combo prove that this guy has terrible taste. It would be easier to appreciate his review if he was actually blind.

@jimmylai7969 9 лет назад

Judging credibility by looks is something women usually do.

@tonyvaccaro98 11 лет назад

It's not a wierd looking its futuristic.

@ewstaeger 11 лет назад

TBH if you are not looking for a speed demon this car is great. It's comfortable, drives well and the packages it comes with are great. I have recieved a bunch of compliments on mine. I agree it is really underpowered but this car wasn't build for speed in the first place. Personally i think the name is pretty cool.

@Skarokin 10 лет назад

Tomas is right. The Genesis is more of a power kind of car. Veloster is more of like everyday driving. Also, this is a compact, not a performance car. You are talking about how weird it is, it's supposed to be a unique car that no other brand has done before.

@JohnBrown-vg9gu 10 лет назад

Well, thank you for that extremely numb and boring review.

@clickslidebang1871 7 лет назад

how does the car hold up after 150k miles or so?? any one?????

@Spicypapayas 12 лет назад

Yeah, too many reviews focus on speed when people shopping for cheap cars need something reliable and with enough power to merge on the freeway w/o getting killed. Will is last? Is it a pile of junk? Does it get good mpg's? How much space is there? Can you see out the back? There are millions of crappy drivers out there and the more they can see the better. Theres a lot to buying car besides 0-60. A lot of these reviews are as helpful as a 119hp mazda truck going up a hill.

@hozzyboy 11 лет назад

If the car is almost identical except for the turbo....then why not go into more detail on the power? 1/4 mile time? Turbo lag? Throttle response? He pretty much said it looks weird, they changed the steering but it still sucks and they threw on a turbo cuz it was underpowered. Bad review :(

@jackorwell8015 11 лет назад

It's not weird, it's a good looking car that isn't boring.

@cherryshawn 11 лет назад

going to test drive a veloster this weekend, dealership doesnt have the turbo model in stock but I wouldn't purchase a N/A one regardless. Just wondering, I'm 6 foot 2" is this car going to be too small for me? How is the drivers seat?

@AlgerroMartinFReyes 10 лет назад

I like Hyundai Veloster Turbo car. YES.

@WtZuck 10 лет назад

He looks GIANT next to that car.

@benchamberlain5985 5 лет назад

Not a great review all he focused on was looks and turbo, the steering comments were helpful. Anybody out there own one and is tall? I'm 6' 3" and thinking about this car as a commuter, just wondering how the cockpit space is....

@DNOG87 6 лет назад

Sooooo it’s a unique car and has more power then the previous year...... I guess I should start reviewing cars considering from this travesty anyone and their dog can do it

@LazyPanda10 11 лет назад

I can only imagine the sales if they put genesis 2.0t in these.

@shadowfoxx65 12 лет назад

Torque: 195 ft-lbs. @ 1750 rpm Horsepower: 201 hp @ 6000 rpm Curb weight: 2800 lbs this is what we really want to know

@natedoggxl 10 лет назад

All Hyundai needs to do now is flair out the finders a little more...add beefier tires and rims..all wheel drive and the 348hp V6 engine from the Genesis coupe and you'd have a real winner: The Veloster R-Spec Turbo. : )

@meekialx 7 лет назад

Barely even classifies as a review, good job.

@WestWorld24 7 лет назад

It was obvious from the beginning of the video that you were not a fan of the Veloster. I guess you're more of a BMW guy.

@anand123456789 11 лет назад

If the base model can do 0-60 in 8.5 sec, that ain't that bad, esp for 138HP. 6.5 seconds is actually darn quick for such a cheap car.

@nursultantulyakbaycats 12 лет назад

I think it looks rather good, everyone keeps telling me they find it disgusting, maybe they are biased against Korean cars?

@HDmanzano1995 10 лет назад

You didn't tell me exactly how many hp/torque the car has, or the MPG, or the starting price for the turbo version. Not very informative review.

@_chipchip 11 лет назад

I heard him talk about the steering feedback and suspension feel, all of which are justified griped echoed by other reviewers. What's the problem?

@Massdojo 11 лет назад

This was a pretty lame review. I own this car. I shopped it against GTI, BRZ and Mini S. The ultimate decision was the best fun car as a DD that got decent Hwy MPG. The GTI was too much money along with the Mini S comparatively. I would have had to get a used one for what I paid for the Veloster Turbo with all the bells and whistles. I paid 23.9k. The BRZ lacked the hp I was looking for. In my first test drive I fell in love with this car and I drive a 11' STI on the track. Love my VT.

@bbcoachSupermanBR 11 лет назад

The Veloster Turbo is the only version I'd even consider. When you factor in that the car is essentially a re-skinned Hyundai Accent there's no way I'd pay thousands more for the look of the car..especially since it rides so harsh that it's just not fun and the Accent would make more sense. The Turbos extra features plus the power make it more desirable and the backseat is actually roomy for sub-5'11" people...the hatch has a surprising amount of space too...but for 1 person the BRZ or GTI win

@gaivoron 11 лет назад

Terrible review,this guys gave no official numbers just lots of jibber. At the end of it I have no idea if its even worth it. Where the heck if your professional opinion? Is it worth it? Should I give it a shot or look into speed3, gti, scion, civic si, ???? I would take you off this program

@TheAdventureAuto 12 лет назад

People who buy this car aren't going to be doing 90mph around sharp curves. The only person having to "crank the wheel back" is you. This is a car for people who wanted a little more power not to become mario andretti.

@anand123456789 11 лет назад

They should put the 2.0T too!

@Anonymous-ij4lq 9 лет назад

I need a review on the RSpec version of the Turbo. I've had that car for almost a year. It's so much better than the turbo. Upgraded steering, upgraded suspension and upgraded to a B&M short throw shifter it fixes all the issues people have been having in reviews with the turbo.

@shaeet 12 лет назад

shit review....i agree w/top rated comment. Give us numbers & real thoughts on how other aspects of the car are, not just opinionated garbage about 3 aspects of the car............*sigh*

@AlternativeUses 12 лет назад

i cant take the veloster turbo too seriously because under the skin its just an elantra, twistbean rear suspension and all. if it were my money i'd take a gti or focus ST

@hduncan2587 12 лет назад

Go to Motor Trend. Carlos Lago will show you the horrible wheel hop at hard launches (even turns the wipers on), among other things. Much more informative.

@eden20111 11 лет назад

You have no sense of style dude.. It doesn't look weird. Your saying that cuz your old. This car wasn't aimed toward the older generation.. :/

@JamaicanMeCrazy 11 лет назад

i dont think its weird. Different doesnt equate to weird. It's fresh in my opinion. I wouldn't necessarily buy one...at all but you get my drift.

@ladyj5682 3 года назад

Don't like this man's review. He is reviewing this like it is not an economy car or its more than it should be. This car looks nice!!!

@scootfd3s 11 лет назад

Its' actually 69% increase in horsepower and 63% increase in torque . 201 HP - 195 lbftTQ I'm guessing the host doesn't know basic math.

@846524162 12 лет назад

No, it's not. GDi is just a name for gasoline direct injection. And Mitsubishi named them, that's it, it's not Mitsubishi engine.

@nyteboy4541 5 лет назад

Sorry, that was not a professional review at all. Big thumbs down for you.

@reycuerdos 2 года назад

Agreed. The drive did not match up to the looks. It does sound and feel hollow from inside too.

@stephanle9510 7 лет назад

You're sideburns are weird looking too!! 😏😏

@JimmyGunXD556 11 лет назад

Car and Driver Car Review:....If the car does not break the law in under 6 seconds its a piece of shit.

@SGBassplayer 11 лет назад

Don't say a dual clutch gearbox can't handle the power of a turbocharged (200hp) engine when Mitsubishi has offered one on a turbocharged engine rated at almost 100hp more than this one since 2008 with their Evo X MR. Hyundai might not be able to develop one for this car that will keep it priced in the range they're shooting for, but to say this engine is too powerful for a twin clutch transmission simply isn't true.

@Dbear326 11 лет назад

Yes the FRS is a better handling car, it was purpose built to be. I'd argue with you over the quality but I won't because I've driven both cars (doubt you have) and you're probably a FRS fanboy. It's not the same money, because to get the FRS with the same standard equipment that comes on the Veloster you're talking about spending $4k more. Even base prices are almost $3k different.

@sx4150 12 лет назад

I tested the car at my local dealership. Its pretty boring sedan. Terrible cabin quality. The seatbelt bolts didnt have covers on them, the dash plastic looked cheap with gaps on the seams. The headliner is really cheap felt covered board, and the Panoramic sunroof is a joke, it looks huge and airy from the outside but is small and dark inside. Save yourself the trouble and get a Civic Si or Brz/Frs

@arnoldinshorts 12 лет назад

i feel like most auto critics want to hate this car so much... now that said i will admit that i have bought a base model Veloster. And like any car it has it's flaws but most of them just don't matter, i completely disagree with him about the steering feel it has tons and it is not that light either, i owned a 2006 Mazda RX-8 Shinka edition, so i know what a car is supposed to handle and feel like. other than the minor noisy ride and lack of power, i absolutely love my car.

@gene978 12 лет назад

I'm sorry Car and Driver. But this car is not a $33K AutoBahn GTI. It's a young, fun useful car with great MPG. BUT AMERICA HAD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SPEED because we all drive 90MPH AROUND CORNERS and it's perfectly legal. Right? This is a lot of car for the money with out much sacrifice. Throw in the best warranty. And as far as styling goes? KUDOS TO HYUNDAI for thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX. I AM 50 years old this coming Tuesday and I like the styling a lot. Not the satin finish though.

@Shadebayne 10 лет назад

Guys, give yourself a favor and watch another interview...

@JordsterMovies 12 лет назад

Why would I choose one of these over a GTi, MS3, Focus ST or even a Civic Si? It has a "spunky" appearance but it's price is edging towards 3 much more refined, better driving FWD performance cars. I guess it has it's interesting appearance, which is bound to attract some, but I can't shake the fact that there are quite a few better cars that are just marginally more money.

@vsn119 10 лет назад

say something original don't copy what others have already said. senior editor my a..

@TheJoePoeShow 12 лет назад

Words from the wise: "Don't take tips about 'style' from a bro with sideburns and aviators."

@mi16t 10 лет назад

After all that, still looks and sounds slow. just sayin

@bevcjcj 12 лет назад

its an ft86 copy/ wannabe. it looks crap, handles crap, sounds crap, its slow, cheap parts and labour have been put into it. it will fall apart in a few years like any other hyundai. but if your in the market for a car that's advertised as 'sporty' then go ahead and buy one.

@gamatoutsikos 12 лет назад

omg I cant believe this guy is senior editor on Car and Driver. what a disapoitment. Of course the veloster is not a Ferrari in the drive feeling. What is it? The best value car in its clas. for $25,000 canadian fully loaded its far down the Civic Si C30 or VW GTi. this guys is T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E

@arks1337 12 лет назад

why is matt farah driving the veloster at 2:53?! anyways, the review was kind of dull. now i dont even know what horsepower it makes. i have to check what hp the base model has to add 50 percent. wtf? what about the transmission, how does it feel? how fast is it? 0-60? so many questions..

@mtooshort20 12 лет назад

now, now, one good thing is we actually know less about the car than when we started lol Goodness, this has got to be the WORST so called review ever, by the worst journalist ever!! He literally babbled more about the base model that the turbo model...which he is supposed to be reviewing!!

@krnboy8171 12 лет назад

so... 1. how does it shift? good? bad?slow?fast? 2. turbo lag? no lag? any sort of opinions on resposiveness? 3. MPG? 4. not even a vague comment of suspension set up/ feel? 5. comparison/opinions against its rivals/competitions? 6. numbers, numbers, numbers... it can replace so many pointless words.

@tinleo333 12 лет назад

everytime i am going to see a video a GM commercial please GM stop i do not like your cars

@2thePtBassTuT 11 лет назад

For a "turbo version" review, there really isn't a whole lot of talk about the performance...

@VaunShiz 11 лет назад

this is a very bad review, he dosnt even say its faster, he just says, since there is a turbo in it, it must be faster... Like he never even drove it. He gives no specs, no mention of how the turbo reacts. just wow who hired this guy

@ShopforCFcom 12 лет назад

It seems Hyundai just takes the base Veloster and says "Ok, everyone is making small turbo cars, whats the least amount of work we have to do to this to make it work? Oh, just a turbo?" No tuned suspension, no limited slip diff, no sport tires. What a joke.

@robink7591 12 лет назад

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. Maybe this guy likes the old-school look of the Cooper, or the uninspired and recycled look of the GTI and Mazda3. Apparently there is no accounting for taste. I think the Veloster Turbo looks great!

@emo1978pr 12 лет назад

Ok I'm un subscribing from this channel...Car and Driver you need more focus reviewers, this guy just don't like Hyundais persé, it's noticeable!...we all love haters, but in your business you need more impartial people...just saying ;-)

@mwstrick 12 лет назад

The elantra, sonata, & the veloster all have sluggish steering. I have test driven all three because I am considering buying one but I wish they would fix the loose feeling in the steering everything else is a good value for the money.

@ozscorpio7 11 лет назад

I think the same, why cant these guys give a fair review intead of just their biased opinion, If it was a ferrari it wouldnt be weird, it would be radical! Its different from any other car thats why is good

@DanVM111 12 лет назад

So it has 50% more horsepower and torque. How about telling us specifically how much it has for us math deficient people. And you don't need to keep mentioning that it has 2 doors on one side and 1 on the other. STEP IT UP!

@PDXMILO 5 лет назад

Man, that guy needs some bbq sauce for them pork chops on his face.

@airbomb34 11 лет назад

Hyundai: when you just don't give a fuck and want people to know you're poor as shit.

@leoachilles 12 лет назад

I love this car and probably will get one, I am successive enough, don't need a badge to look better.

@CamaroAmx 11 лет назад

i remember when Hyundia first hit US shores. it was basicaly a slightly better Yugo with borrowed Chrysler engines that Chrysler didn't want. they have inmproved over the years, a little bit.

@PrydeWater901 11 лет назад

he kept saying 50 percent more but never gave the actual horsepower and torque figure. spunk. I don't like doing math when watching Car vids. spunk. did I miss an acceleration and braking test? spunk.

@Joeelii 12 лет назад

The only thing I learned in this video was the engine sound. What a terrible video to title as a review. Opinionated adjectives everywhere. Nothing objective or even compared to an objective standard.

@mia53095 12 лет назад

You can get you what you want but the car is definitely not crap. You didn't even try and say crap things about the car. I 've seen lots of people like you with full of stereotype or prejudice crap.

@deucedaprodeuca 11 лет назад

It won't be too small for YOU, but it may bother someone sitting behind you though,

@1rcproductions 12 лет назад

In Canada a Mini Copper S and GTI with close to the same options is $10, 000 more than the Veloster Turbo. I like that my VT uses regular gas, gets decent fuel mileage and is still fun to drive on my regular commute. I was not looking for a track car and I like the looks of my VT. Although the rear suspension is not up to what is found on the the Mini and GTI, and the tires that come with it aren't the greatest, I am satisfied with my purchase overall. Cheers.

@iglooman117 11 лет назад

Heyy people that are complaining about him not giving you numbers on hp. He says the original is 138, and with 50%. Now basic math here watch out. 138x.5=69 so, 138+69=about 207 horse

@X-Prime123 12 лет назад

He says the car looks "weird"? What does he drive, a toyota, the "car with like, some lines"? It's consumers like him that are responsible for the weak designs in most of today's cars.

@EffingZombies 12 лет назад

Aside from the fact that this review lacked any real substance, this 100% contradicts the review in the Sept 2012 issue of Car and Driver. Does anyone else see anything wrong with that?

@thatmanstu23 5 лет назад

This guy doesn't seem to understand that appearance is subjective.

@tbok75 12 лет назад

50% more of both... why not just tell us the numbers and a 0-60 time like every other car show? 4.5 minutes of "yah its faster and steering is better"... and not much else.

@Shockz_BE 11 лет назад

If i would get one of these I Remove the Hyundai emblems and put nice sport rims on it. Lower it and tint the windows. Nobody would have any idea what you are driving :p

@MrLMB03 11 лет назад

This guy just simply doesn't like the Hyundai Veloster and puts to many own opinions into the report and that is totally unprofessional. I'm sorry to say that.

@chicago2370 7 лет назад

dont know why people are bitching about it his review. it was a good review

@greebuh 11 лет назад

They are all probably at a test where they invite people from most of the car review sites and mags to come out and test the cars for a day or two.

@c11121987 12 лет назад

I actually agree with him tho... I also felt the steering a bit lack of response. It feels like the steering wheel is not connected to the road...

@snowsurfandcycle 12 лет назад

Meh, I wouldn't ever buy a car that looks like a half-filleted fish. Especially when there's 5 other cars in its class that are far better in every way.

@portis9 12 лет назад

why would u call a car that is different than anything else 'weird'. I personally don't find it weird at all and love the third door and wacky design

@GundamAngelicDevil 11 лет назад

I bet you wouldn't call it weird with the One-77, now would you.

@mrlovesjesus811 12 лет назад

Where do Car & Driver keep getting these editors? This guy told me nothing about the car but his opinion.... Come on..... Get some real editors who tell you more about the car than just their opinion of it....
