My brother used to have one with an automatic but, that thing is a lot of fun to drive and it such a nice sound for a 4 cylinder.

Would u recommend this car for someone who is more focused on the mpg side and its technology but still wants some performance?

I own a 14 VeloTurbo and other than K+N filter/intake and BOV - its stock -- run 6.0-6.2 seconds 0-60 dyno was 212hp /201tq

Bro, 6 seconds for a car that does not need premium fuel is genius this thing is worth it and they look kind of reminds me of some type of Batman car, you guys just don't have a open mind plus that third door is off the chain!

Can you guys please make a 0-60 vid on the 2013 genesis coupe 2.0t!?

Hi Henry T... Thank you, for your reply!!! Thanx, for the info., cuz I had no idea, of the Veloster's specs... Have a Great Autumn :):):)

Is it stock?

The master has spoken!!!

Having a back seat (cramped as it might be) is a deciding factor for lots of folks. I like both of these cars, for what they are. It'll be interesting to see how the new Fiesta ST stacks up.

It's a fun little ride and relatively easy on the wallet if you keep your foot out of it. What are you shopping it against?

wow, third gear definitely looks like a 1.6 liter, did it bog at all in the prelims?

0 to 57 mph in 6.25 seconds roughly!Not bad.

6.86 seconds. Very nice.

I'd like to see you have a timer on-screen for these runs.

I love this car its amazing

that looks quick

The Fiat Abarth's 1.4 turbo has a nice exhaust note ... the same engine can be found in the Dodge Dart. I posted the Dart 1.4T 0-60 MPH. Working on the review now.

It behaved well. Went out too hot in the first run, had wheel hop. Second and third run were both good.

how do you hold the camera? haha

Nice acceleration. Turbo really makes a difference!!

Thanks about truedelta

That shift right before sixty kills it (couldn't go much farther than you did) but I'm pretty impressed... I recorded 6.6s and I was expecting around 7. Did you try shifting into 3rd earlier?

I always ask for the WRX, but they're never available in the media fleet.

OPINIONS I am not buying any car now, but I am glad to see a car that is not a cookie cutter look. Next not bad power for price. Of course enough money can buy you faster or fancier. I never had a Hyundai but I like this peppy for cheap and Hyundai got my attention with the Sonata Hybrid that looks like a nice car not hybrid and with a big gas tank to go over 600 miles on a tank. Just saying I like out of the box thinking.

I dig VeeDubs, too. It's all good! :)

agreed.

which domestics do u mean? the regal gs has a2.0l 4 cylinder turbo with 275hp and 295ft lbs of torque, the cobalt ss turbo hada 2.0l w/ 260hp and 260ft-lbs of torque and did 0-60mph in 5.5secs and was the fastest fwd coupe around the nurbergring...domestics are anything but far behind....

How do u get 9 seconds from that video

There's a bunch of stuff you might consider. For starters: The Fiat Abarth starts at $22K (if you can find one) or the 500 Turbo for a bit less, The Chevy Sonic RS Turbo starts at $21K, and the Mazda3 Skyactiv starting at $20K (no turbo, not quite as quick, but a great car with excellent fuel economy). The 2014 Fiesta ST turbo should be a hoot ... it's due this spring, I believe.

Cool story bro.

That's how I roll dawg. (Rolls eyes).

The cobalt ss is GONE which is exactly what I'm talking about. Rather than continue to compete by further developing the platform it just vanishes in favor of something like the Camaro. One step forward, two 3700-pound steps back. Good point about the regal though, I will admit I didn't even know it existed.

Just make sure you only race the wrx to 58mph. The gear change to 60 almost takes a second. 0-58mph in 6.7 0-60 7.0 0-62 (100kmh) 7.4. here in Australia Hyundai claim 0-62mph (0-100kph) in 6.5 but the best I've watched is 7.4. I guess a flat change could get to under 7. Does anyone know if the auto is faster or slower? If it did 6.9 i'd buy one but if its 7.4 i'll pay the extra for a wrx or evo.

I didn't. One of these days I hope to land the backing to be able to test more intensively. I can't afford to break anything, kill myself or get busted. ;) I try to take no more than three stabs at it. First run I left too hard and had nasty wheel hop. The second two were good ... just a little slip of the tires off the line.

For any idiot comparing their rwd muscle car or v6 sedan to this is a complete idiot. 1st off its a 1.6L Turbo that makes 201hp stock, that impressive. The VT is so resonated stock, a few bolt ons and a conservative tune you're looking at 240whp... :)

@Saytheodd

but it needs to be a big 2.4 Liter motor to make that 201hp stock. Hyundai has done the same thing with it's 2.4L GDI motor making 200hp stock (Sonata/optima), but soon realized that people who wanted the 4cyl wanted MPG, so they de-tuned the ECU with newer models Keep in mind this is a 1.6L. Even the 1.6 n/a Veloster makes 140hp while honda's 1.8L only makes 140. Plus best power to weight ratio in class.

The awkward moment when you don't understand power to weight ratio's or bhp per liter. The veloster beats the Si in both categories and not to mention it's a 1.6 Turbo and not a 2.4L accord engine.

homie shifting too damn early.

And you saw bad ^_^ Precisly with the timecode of the Sony Vegas software : 7.07s for your 0-60mph (0-96kmh) a nice chrono but not exceptional for this category of car...

Y'think? For the gas mileage this little beast gets, it wasn't bad at all. It should liven up a bit with a tune.

6.9

Good for wht it is, especially a 1.6 4 cylinder! It's far faster than some 2litre cars about and not that far behind a Honda Civic Type R. Technology has certainly advanced from the days of a Ford Capri and Morris Marina (UK). Now everything is a balance between power and economy - two of the hardest things to combine. It's a bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing that car.

at the beginning, mpg average 34.2. Not bad at all

Aye, yep! :) The 0-60 Compare-O-Matic on MPGomaticdotcom has timers. One of these days I'll get around to loading all of the 0-60 runs into it.

I'm really considering this car against the Abarth 2013 though the abarth feels more premium...like more quality I guess :$

I have heard of many reports about the fiat 500, that their paint on the bumpers were defective and after delivery the Chrysler dealers simply replied that itt's the customers fault for not inspecting it before it was delivered. Veloster offers lots of premium option at a bargain sticker price, and I agree with the sound of the engine, I'd rather take the quieter noise over loud and obnoxious sounds, after all I am not some teenage kid or a middle age old fat bald dude with a mid life crisis.

Guys, Ecoboost is on..

not very refined, but its got some punch

7 seconds! It's quick off the line but doesn't finish strong

a simple exhaust would fix that right up.

This one's a manual ... =)

Does anyone really want their 450watt 8-speaker Dimension sound system to compete with engine noise? I'll take the Veloster Turbo's quiet 6.5 seconds from 0-60mph, top speed of 139mph and killer VTurbo styling over an Abarth ANY day. And for a lot less money.

Not the V6's or V8's.

Trust me your Jetta will never be cheaper to Maintain than a Hyundai, turbo or not, VW doesn't have the warranty to do so. German Engineering leads to complexity in most cases not reliability. This isn't always the case though as My C-class has been the most reliable car Ive ever owned. Over 3 years and has never needed to be serviced.

around 7.5 seconds

I don't know how much H.P. the veloster has, but a mx-5 w/ only167 H.P. does 0-60 with in real close to, a half of a second, or a half of a second, the same as this car...Plus, the MX-5 doesn't have the extra turbo produced torque...Unless, the veloster has baby torque :):):)

I love the looks of this car but come on, its not going to touch a Stang, Camaro, or a Challenger. But for an small nimble inexpensive car I think that acceleration is darn impressive. I'll still take a Mazdaspeed3 over one though

Not to bash your opinion of the Veloster Turbo, but as a owner of one I feel like I have to say this. a v6 mustang will get destroyed by a veloster turbo(MT) cant say to much on AT since i dont own one. the 5.0... well not many cars that come off the lot can keep up with that . Same thing goes with the Camaro, cant beat the ss but a v6 no biggie, challenger... well those things are just beast of a machine, the SRT challenger DESTROYS any hot hatch ever in the world!! ( stock of course ) and now for my favortie part, the MS3 (mazdaspeed3) So, the Mazdaspeed3 is rated at what, 265hp, 240lbp tq. and the veloster is 201hp, 190lbp tq? (just going off the top of my head) head to head on a 1/4 dragstrip, the veloster turbo and MS3 are dead even. The veloster turbo is an extremly light car about 1000lbs lighter then the MS3. out of 6 races the turbo won 3 and the MS3 won 3. NOW the MS3 3rd gear is its power horse so after a 1/4 mile MS3 would probably smoke the veloster. anyhoot this is just my opion and experiance with owning a VT. im not going to nix you for wanting the MS3, because i would love one as well

I have one of these cars and it's pretty quick. I keep up with cobalt ss despite the lack of power but I've beaten vw gti's. I have a buddy with one and he sai he much rather have my car based on interior design and technology. And there's Dino proven results from some company's making intakes and exhausts. Adding a good intake and car back will give at least 20 more horsepower. Idk another car out that can get 10% plus just from 2 bolt on easy mods. I look

This is NOT 200hp & 195lb/ft. A GTI (which weighs ~50kg more) which ALSO has 200hp can do this in ~5.9 seconds. Opt for a DSG and it drops to 5.5 seconds. Hell, a Fiesta ST with 182hp matches or beats this. This is disappointing that Hyundai thinks it can lie on the spec sheet like this.

VW's are not reliable plain and simple, you might get a good engine trans combo that are reliable every so often but as far as models go any Asian manufacturer has a better track record than Vdub. This is known by anyone who knows anything about automobiles. The biggest culprit is usually their turbo Diesels, which tend to require lots of pricey maintenance. This year is looking to be one of their worst for the Jetta as far as reliability goes. Check out Truedelta if you don't believe me.

i say 6.5

I always make fun of these as a tarted up Accent for non car savvy girls who think a real man is Justin Bieber : ) . But Ill tell you this engine seems nice and sound nice. Revs high for a Turbo and look at that pull under boost from 40 to 60. That must feel nice, 0-60 who cares.
