The Hyundai Veloster has always had an extra door on the passenger side. The second generation adds an extra dollop of driving fun. It proves Hyundai is serious about giving its cars the handling dynamics they’ve lacked. Tom Voelk drives the Turbo Ultimate model with a dual-clutch transmission, turbocharged engine and a black roof.

About Tom:
Tom Voelk is an award-winning automotive contributor to The New York Times. His podcast was the first to win an Emmy Award. He also married way out of his league. Now, stop reading this promotional copy bragging about Tom's photography and editing skills and watch a couple episodes. It's much more interesting.

It really always puzzles me why don’t you have 2 million subscribers... your video line, your texts, product exposition, humor, overall quality are way better than of those who have millions of subscribers. You may count me as two subscribers, I raise my both hands for you)) I’m sure all of your 78K subscribers would do the same! Thus we just got you 160K followers! Cheer up!) We’re with you!

This isn't really my type of car anymore, but if I was still into small-ish hot hatches, I would seriously consider a Veloster Turbo Ultimate, or the upcoming N version. Hyundai is really doing it these days, I'm impressed!

Great Review Tom. This redesign was well done in my opinion. The driving dynamics seem legit and acceleration is certainly competitive. The interior plastic thing is a let down but something had to be cut to keep reasonable pricing.

Seriously, one of only like 5 channels I have notifications turned on for and I watch every video even when it's a lame vehicle like a Veloster or Ecosport . Happy to see that he seems to have a nice following building up considering this video is at 5k views in 18 hours. Hoping he can work up to 50k views per video average because that seems to be when RU-vid's algorithm starts to give the channel a push in the suggestions. He certainly deserves it.

I'd have to drive them back to back to give you an accurate assessment but my educated guess is that the VW would edge out a win. But it is more expensive.

I just checked Hyundai's site. Adaptive Cruise Control (they call it Smart Cruise Control) is only available on the Ultimate trim with DCT. I don't know what the major malfunction is with Hyundai/Kia (and Subaru while I'm at it). Many other companies figured out how to combine manual transmission with adaptive cruise control (obviously without low-speed support).

@donaldsalkovick396 5 лет назад

Is it asymmetrical even if you can never see both sides of the car at the same time? (In reality not photos of course)

@DrivenCarReviews 5 лет назад

Park it front of a giant window pane and then you can see both sides at the same time because of the reflection. Problem solved. You're welcome.

@stephenhendricks103 5 лет назад

Tom, I miss those roads between Fall City and Carnation now that I've moved to the South Sound. Many happy hours in my car and on my bike. Fortunately, there are some great roads over on the Peninsula. :) As for the Veloster, I'm disappointed that Hyundai has elected to put the "N" treatment in the Veloster in the US rather than in the Elantra (the i30N in other world markets.) Looks like a missed opportunity to me.

@DrivenCarReviews 5 лет назад

Well, you can always make the trip north to drive Stephan. And there's always the chance the Elantra N could make it to the US. Let's see if the Veloster N builds a business case for it.

Why not have the heads-up display reflect directly off the windshield?

@DrivenCarReviews 5 лет назад

Because the windshield needs a special coating that is very expensive. I've been told it can add $1,000 to the price of the glass. Something you won't want to pay for when it comes time to replace it.

Strictly speaking for myself here, but Tom's channel really should have 2 million subscribers. He's one of THE best car enthusiasts on social media. Guy knows his cars and he's very professional. His reviews are informative and entertaining at the same time. He has excellent camera presence. Unfortunately, the world we live in doesn't care. Instead we get these douchebags, pardon the language, acting like an imbecile in front of the camera showing off their leased Lambos and McLarens with 1 million subscribers.

For $30k, it seems that the interior is a bit behind competitors. I sat in a lot of Hondas recently, and aside from the awful touch only controls (I think they've since started rolling out actual volume knobs), the cabin space wasn't nearly as hard and unappointed.

Great review and I know you love the mazda mx5. It's what got you into reviewing cars. I bought a nd in 2016 and it's a big pile of rotten ownership expirience unlike my 2005 Hyundai Getz. I have been recommending Hyundais and now Kias to all my family and friends. Have been thinking since my poor decision to buy an overpriced new mx5 with a non existant warranty, that if Hyundai or Kia made a light weight rear wheel drive only this brand would knock the mx5 out of the water. Still much better value, quality and warranty. I'm sure this will eventually happen but it takes some years for some to change their mindset. Que the comments that argue that mazda is so good and how can I say they are not.

@K03sport 5 лет назад

#savethemanuals...when there are no lane markings, the entire surface is your lane; besides, it's just paint on the road anyway. I might consider a Voelkster when its time to replace my Mk4 GTI, but right now, I have no reason to. I'm also a fan of Soul! turbo, but the Veloster is a better driving car and comes w/3 pedals; the Soul! does not. What did you think of the interior noise - good, fair, annoying? Did it have a donut spare? Is this car on par with a Civic Si? Mazda3 2.5?

@DrivenCarReviews 5 лет назад

Road noise is average for a car in this class. I suggest driving all of the cars you mention to see which one speaks to you.

@calebwoods9358 5 лет назад

I own a 2016 VT manual with an anti-swag bar, a strut brace, a lower two point brace, and a slightly stiffer shocks. So, I test drove the 2019 model with the idea of Hyundai's commitment to fun and... It felt flaccid. I don't mean to be gross, but the steering isn't as reactive as it should be and while you can feel real balance in the turns with SI and GTI and my 2016, the new Veloster just goes through the motions, numb. Its fun in the way it looks, but I just couldn't feel any of the physics when driving with enthusiasm. I was so angry and disappointed XD Just test drive the car, guys, like Tom alwqys says, before buying. This car just didn't deliver in the twists as lively as rivals. (EDIT) That said, it is waaay more comfy than my 2016, has slightly more space and is quicker. It'd make a wonderful first car for someone outta college who landed their first big job, or for someone who wants something a bit silly looking to drove every day.

@DrivenCarReviews 5 лет назад

Caleb, read your post again and look at what you did to your car. The 2019 model can be made sharper with mods too. Also, your edit speaks volumes. Not everyone wants a car that rides as firm as yours. Have fun with it!

@calebwoods9358 5 лет назад

@@DrivenCarReviews LOL yeah you're right; the mods completely altered my expectations for the 2019! FWIW, my hope was Hyundai made the 2019 handle better, stock, compared to what I experienced when I actually drove the 2019. And, yeah, it does handle and ride much better than a stock 2016, for sure. Thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten the effect handling upgrades had on my 16's base suspension. I've become spoiled, Tom, forgive me! And for the record, some cheap cars can nail a sport-comfort balance better than others but what you gain in that area you lose with (arguably) styling and a some standard features. Thanks for replying, man!

Well then technically we're both wrong. This from the Hyundai- "Further, there is an over-boost function that raises peak torque output to 202 lb.-ft. under maximum acceleration". My bad for not mentioning the extra 7 lb-ft. Wonder how noticeable it is...

@chrishuber8930 5 лет назад
