Electrical issues made the car awful

I will preface this review by saying I now own the 2024 venue because Hyundai had to repurchase my 2023 as a lemon. I liked my car in terms of gas mileage, comfort (for front seats, limited leg room in back), affordability, ease of driving. However, from day one I had connectivity issues with Bluetooth and Apple car play. The screen would black out when shifting from D to R making the backup camera worthless. I would be driving and the screen would go black randomly and all music, maps, etc would shut off. This happened with multiple phones so it was a car issue. The dealer attempted repairs 4-6 times, and even replaced the radio/screen. It didn’t help. I was constantly at the dealer for repairs. It was a nightmare because this was a brand new car. I bought a new car so I wouldn’t be taking it in for repairs. Eventually after 6 months or so Hyundai corporate agreed to repurchase the vehicle because it was essentially a lemon. That process was awful, Hyundai dropped the ball multiple times and we are actually still having to deal with it after 2 years. I was able to buy the 2024 venue from a different dealer because the pricing was the same and it was the easiest option as opposed to moving to a different car brand. So my 2023 venue experience was suboptimal, and my experience with Hyundai as a whole was even worse.

Would not recommend

I’ve had some issues since I drove it off the lot. And where I purchased my vehicle at garvey hyundai in Plattsburgh NY they have awful Customer service. Getting them to look at issues is like pulling teeth! They put things off longer where it ends up costing more money: I would not recommend the vehicle nor garvey Hyundai !!

It is great for commuting and going around the city

Despite it's small size, I do fit comfortably at 6 foot. I have been getting about 39.5 MPG, and the navigation system is handy for longer drives as it give current traffic information. With it's small size, it is easy to go through traffic and parking.

I enjoy driving my Venue.

The Venue is a very economical and utilitarian vehicle. I miss having an automatic trunk opener, instead of having to do it manually. Overall it's a very well put together car for the price and for its utilitarian identity.

It's not too bad.

If your looking for something small it is better than a mini Cooper. But just because of price. It is very unstable for long trips on the highway. Good for riding solo but not great for a family adventure.

Decent little car

Needs more horsepower for the highway. It has trouble passing at high speeds and feels shaky when changing lanes. I think it all comes down to engine power which I am sure can be fixed. But as far as city driving it is great and very easy tp park

2 years of owning

I've owned this for 2 years, I regret my purchase, especially because my interest rate is absolutely disgusting, if th vehicle is purchased out right , sure you get a 23,000 dollar car , you get what you pay for. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone that isn't an old lady and drive 2x a year

Mom on the Go!

Reliable, fast, I wish it was bigger and sound system louder. I want another model of the venue just bigger. My windows are starting to slow down when rolling them down. I’m a bit surprised because I bought my car new and this is my first Hyundai

Very good

The car is very comfortable, easy to drive, the trunk is a bit small, in stormy weather with a lot of wind it is a bit unstable, you hear a lot of rumbling when you have the window open. I hope it works well for many years

I love my Venue!

I really love my little car and would purchase another if they're still being offered in a few years. The safety features are top notch and the technology is easy to use. I would love a cd player because I'm an elder millenial but I do love that I got a free trial period of Serious XM. I have some dislikes about the lane safety feature but with an update I think the flaws could be addressed. The system doesn't recognize obstructions in the road, construction cones or large construction signage so it will activate the autonomous feature to keep me in a lane that is not always safe to continue on. My other vehicle (not Hyundai) recognized obstructions and signage and alerted without preventing me from crossing the solid line. I would love if my Venue could do the same. I have taught my 2 new drivers in the Venue and they took their DMV tests in it. Even though it is a small car it has so many wonderful safety features I have little worry when they venture out alone. I would love to upgrade to another new one in a couple years and gift my current model to my kids when they go off to college. I have 3 small kiddos and was worried about fitting their car seats in the back but have successfully installed Diono Radian seats 3 across WITH EASE! The center rear seat accommodates the Diono rear facing PERFECTLY with their leveling wedge. I am 5'8 and my husband 5'10 and we comfortably sit up front while all 3 have plenty of leg room in the back. The curvature of the front seats makes for plenty of space for their knees and legs. One of my teenagers is 6'4" and he comfortably fits in the drivers seat. I love how we can make the seat sit higher up or lower down to accommodate multiple drivers. I recently learned the steering wheel can pull out and push in and the arm rest can slide forward as well. I have fit both a tandem style and a side by side double stroller in the trunk with the floor in the lower setting. This little car fits big people and a lot of gear so wonderfully and meets all our needs. I absolutely love my Venue!

Love My Venue Limited

I love the car features, gas mileage and size. Wish it had a sunroof. I purchased it new. Got my color I love on my Venue Limited. Just what I needed for long trips the gas mileage is great. Navigation assistance is excellent.

My first Venue

My Venue is easy to operate and I feel very comfortable sitting and operating this car. I would recommend buying this car to Hyundai owners. My daughter will be looking for another car soon and she is thinking of leasing a Hyundai Venue also. Also comfortable to get in and out of, since it is a little higher than a sedan car.

Great city car!

This care is amazing! Perfect for city living and can handle itself in the snow which isn’t always the case for cars this price and this size. The gas mileage both in the city and out is great. Carplay is fantastic and would love to see Carplay in all models. Want it in AWD and/or electric!
