2019 Veloster N

ZCanadian

Yeah, haters gonna hate. Especially on Hyundai, and especially on Veloster.

Anecdotal experiences aside, there are lots of reports on new vehicle reliability that put the Korean twins in the top 10. The problem is that most of those look at the number of customer complaints per thousand cars sold. And they relate to a region (and often, cars are made for a region, even at different assembly plants with different parts and some suppliers). They don't weigh 99 fit-and-finish defects any differently from 99 bad engines. In other words, they aren't perfect either, but most sure seem to shine a good light on the Koreans.

Camaro and Mustang have issues too. Not that they are bad cars, though. Focus RS, which is more in line with the Veloster N, has certainly had its share of nightmares.

Keep in mind, it has a 5 year, 60,000 mile powertrain warranty (with roadside assistance).
If she is pining for a Veloster, then by all reports the "N" is the one to get if you can justify the $.
Or a 370Z!!! ;-)
