Is a Hyundai Veloster a good first car?

I want to buy my first car at the ripe old age of 28, but I have no idea what one to buy. I like the look of the Veloster and it fits my budget, but I’m not certain if it’s a good choice for a new driver. Should I go with a Hyundai Veloster or something else?

If you want to

, the
Hyundai Veloster
is a solid choice—especially if you’re a new driver. Some of the aspects that make a Veloster a great first car include:
  • Low relative cost compared to similar models, regardless of whether you buy a new car or a used car
  • Above-average reliability and dependability ratings
  • Few (if any) known issues or recalls on almost all models
  • Low

    costs
The only downside is that the rear seat is rather small, and turbocharged models made between 2014 and 2016 may have issues, albeit nothing widespread.
