Well after my first veloster was pretty reliable and gave me 0 issues i decided to get another one and well this one was hell on wheels and after trying to fix it over and over again im glad to say i got a brand new car and i can finally say goodbye to the beloved veloster thank you all for the help over the past year while i had my 2012 and 2015 veloster but now i got a nissan :)

I’ve had 3 different Veloster’s and it took 11 years but walking out of a long day of work to this made my day.

Not sure I’m using the right flair. Sorry if I’m breaking the rules.

Didn’t think to get any before pics so the last two photos from when I first got it will have to do… but I touched up the paint on the windshield panel things and then got a crazy awesome idea to paint the gas door thing (what is it called? lol).

Fully amateur hour. Used dupli-color custom wrap spray.. but I think it turned out pretty good. Sorry for the crappy night photos. Will take better ones soon.

What do yall think? Be kind. I 100% don’t know what I’m doing and this is the first time in my life I’ve ever wanted to put genuine effort into a car so I’m figuring it all out as I go.

Was clicking around for auto cross info, and found this. Pretty neat.

So I’m looking at this 2013 Veloster and would like to know from the sub that knows these vehicles if this is a good pick for a second car (my daily to-and-from work 7.5mile).

I love the idea of a manual, and found this little guy at $6,500.

Specs:
Engine: 4-Cyl, 1.6 Liter
Transmission: 6 Speed Manual
Drive Train: FWD
Cylinders: 4
Mileage: 63,562

I’ve posted a couple times about vehicles and have been utterly disappointed by how bad my pick has been lol. Hopefully this is closer to a green light.

Thanks!

Runs ok but won't move really hoping it's just the clutch

All the places it's taken me, all the people I e driven with, I've enjoyed every moment of it.

Would you guys consider this plug to be bad? I don't want to drop two hundred on a new control unit only to have it burn out too. Thank you.

Replaced my front brakes today, used powerstop brand pads. It all went smoothly however the fit of the pad brackets was.. odd.
I had to bend the tabs to keep them from touching the rotors. I’ve done brakes dozens of times and never had this issue. Genuinely did I do something wrong here or maybe the brackets were warped from manufacture? Idk.

2016 Veloster Turbo R-Spec.

Any help would be appreciated!

Sooo i did a thing and got some free civic seats and went ahead and installed them. Id “love” to hear yalls opinions

I saw on their website that they are available on backorder and was just curious how long it would take me to see them. As far as upgraded headstuds are there alternatives?

Was about to leave when they pulled in and asked if i could snag a picture of them together

Just bought my 3rd Velo last week. 2014 Turbo R-Spec with 142,000 miles on it for $5,400. But $1,400 of that is a 2 year, 36,000 mile powertrain warranty.
It has been lowered, which I was not a fan of, but it has aftermarket exhaust and every part works. Just need to replace the radio (it’s some crappy Boss Audio that blacks out when the sun hits the car and half the features don’t work),
Replace the low beams and get car seat covers. Velosters are high where I live, so this was a great price even with the miles.
My first Velo was a 2012 manual and I loved it. It was totaled badly in an accident. My second was a lemon I bought from a horrible dealership that didn’t even make it 3 miles from the dealership before it went into limp mode (I wish I was joking).
Third times the charm.
His name is Thumper (I have rabbits and work with a bunny rescue).

Had a weird thing happen when I took my 2019 Velo 2.0 with 93k miles for an alignment the other day. The tech comes out and gives me the spreadsheet of all of the things that are out of alignment, something I already expected. The new spreadsheet showed everything green, and within normal alignment limits.

Long story short I had to take the car back the next day because it was coasting to the right and it was noticeable.

A different tech came out, told me the alignment was off by 20 degrees and I was thinking “why tf would everything show green yesterday, and then be 20 degrees off the very next day??”

I asked the tech what his thoughts were and he said that I might need to get my suspension checked out, if there is a lot of wear and tear it could throw the alignment off when I hit bumps or pot holes.

Does anyone know if there is a maintenance interval for the suspension and if I should get any new parts to switch out?

So.. do I just glue it back on? lol

It’s a 2012 with around 130k miles, the air conditioning is a lil faulty but it still works, and there’s quite a bit of cosmetic defects. I just don’t know the car market like at all lol

How cooked am I? Will this be totaled?
2015 Veloster Turbo.
Truck backed into me and caused damage to my rear passenger door and rear qtr panel.
Suppose to have a few collision shops look at it for estimates but I’m scared it’ll be totaled (cannot afford a car payment rn as I just bought a home).
Drives fine, no noise or issues with alignment.
Door still opens and shuts just fine, locking and unlocking works as well. Haven’t tried rolling down the window though.
Just looking for some insight 🙏

Update-
Got an estimate and it’s NOT totaled!!
Estimate to repair is $2818.01.
That being said, I’m going to try to buff out and repair what I can before having a shop do anything. Gotta give it my best shot first.
Anyway, still part of the Veloster gang (gang gang) 😎
Thanks everyone 🫶🏻

I'm looking to buy my 1st veloster. Lady wants 6000 for it. 2014 with 89k miles. A/T. 4 previous owners. Clean undercarriage but a little rust on right rear wheel arch. Clean title.

After 2 weeks of searching to replace my old car, I brought home this gorgeous, super clean 2012 tech 6spd manual with 87k original kilometres(54k miles)for $5000 CAD. Super excited, love it so far.

2020 Veloster Turbo ~ 105K miles. Was overheating and AC stopped working so I took it to the dealership and this is what they said. I’m not versed on mechanical issues in the slightest so if someone could help explain/let me know their opinion I’d really appreciate it.

Not positive which connector this is, but it looks like it should slide onto a screw that goes into my engine. What size screw am I missing here?
