 I've had my Veloster for a little over a year and have driven 37,000 miles with it.I purchased this car because I needed something with great fuel economy, which I believe I got with the Veloster. It looks cool and looks like it would be fun to drive.It is neither.When I test drove the car I figured I could get used to the power issue and just thought of all the money I would be saving in gas.The trade off was not worth it. Update:Traded the car in after a year and a half of ownership for a used Audi A3.  After much more research the Veloster would be one of the last cars I would choose if I could do it all over again.
