Veloster, made by Hyundai... the drivers side looks good, the back looks good... so half the car looks fine... why didn't they do a good front design? Why not just a 2 door? Are any parents going to buy this anyway? Why a backseat door?

 See what I mean... nothing wrong here, drivers side and back look fine.

 And then you see that someone caved into the concept that Hyundai couldn't sell a 2 seater, 2 door. What? Why not? Just a commuter, with great gas mileage, great interior (a gallery sometime in the near future) for single people, college kids, high schoolers, and people who want a nice car to get to work with while getting better han 35 miles per gallon. Too much to ask? No one is competing in that small necessity market.

 See the small black areas on the bottom sides? Useless. They have lights if you waste the money. Above them and below the headlights? Aerodynamic parachutes. Stupid. Should have been smooth

Drivers side shows that a 2 door would have been a good idea, a good looking idea.

I bought it because of the 35 mpg (I have gotten 35mpg, you might get better if you drive softer) the great seats, best factory stereo sound in a 19thou price range car, 17 inch rims (most cars around 19 thou have steel rims with plastic covers (SUCK!)) with Nexen 215-45's, center console with huge storage, cupholders where the driver can reach them comfortably, and most importantly... a 6 speed standard. No automatic.

Blue Link from Hyundai has a annoying irritating message that shows up on my radio everytime I turn on my Veloster... anyone know how to get rid of it? Hyundai Customer Service doesn't

I hate this stupid damn message.. and I don't want the damn Blue Link. I'm not going to buy, subscribe, or want it. When you press OK the message will go away. I think it's not right to impose on your car buyer to push damn buttons to make the radio information appear instead of the damn Blue Link message

If you do like the message says and press the blue link button, hey, guess what? The car uses your cell phone to call Blue Link, and you hear a recording that you need to go to a computer and register. Eff you Blue Link. My car manufacturer insists that I use a computer to satisfy them? Fuck that. I paid them for a car, and that completes our transactions. They want my time to go to a computer to get rid of a message they put in my car radio display? Thay can pay me for the time, or enjoy the bad publicity until their customer "Service" tells me what they can do to make this damn message go away

Velosters were at SEMA in good numbers, and big variety due to giving them to customizers before production cars were sold to the public

No idea what made them think that a full tool box would be a good thing to have in the back seat. I do like the racing seatbelts though

bitchin' hood

I doubt that the car ever spends much time at speeds high enough to make the wing of any use. I believe that the info I heard was speeds above 80mph would only begin to create a downforce of any significance

Does anyone at all actually have a dj setup in their car that they use with any reasonable frequency enough to give customizers this notion that making the prototypes and show cars with all this turntable and audio gear is a viable selling point? Am I the only one that has never seen or heard of a mobile DJ just backing up a vehicle into an event and making money with that?

there it is, different rims, different looks, and different uses for a reasonably good looking econo box. Automobile magazine just compared it to the VW beetle, and the Mini Cooper, and found the Veloster the best buy and best suspension. I found it to be the best in gas mileage and factory installed stereo and touch screen AV center
