I recently took delivery of an Ironman silver 2012 Hyundai Veloster with 6-spd dual clutch auto tranny, Style & Tech pkgs, all factory add-ons, i.e. floor mats, cargo tray, mud guards (4), wheel locks & cargo net, and dealer aftermarket full frontal clear bra. The car stickered at $23,685 (incl. freight) with $795 for the bra and an ADM of $2,995. I negotiated the sticker to 'dealer invoice', paid $429 for the bra, and the dealer waived the ADM (as expected). In addition, I received a $500 rebate for financing via Hyundai(HMF)...later I'll refinance at no cost through my credit union for an additional 1% interest rate saving.
Loaded with all the features incl. nav, connectivity, and superb fit & finish with dramatic styling (e.g. glass roof, aggressive appearance) and 29/38 mpg, I consider the vehicle to be an absolute value IMO.
The only complaint I have is the slow speed ride (VERY FIRM) and road noise (thrum) typical of econobox structures. I had expected both, but the thrum continues to annoy. Fortunately, the firm ride lessens with speed, e.g. 50-70 mph where the car is very comfortable. At all speeds the handling is superb and the relatively small GDI 138HP 1.6 is more than adequate for my mixed driving.
