Hi all,have not posted on here for ages so just a update on my veloster which is now 9 years old and 90k miles.just failed the mot on a wheel bearing and track rod end ball jiont..first expense apart from tyres and brakes in the 9 years.although had 2 keys replaced under warrenty..not bad me thinks,,

That is pretty good, I take it you've owned it from new?. Unusual car the Velostar, certainly in the UK, but history suggests British drivers find it difficult to get their heads round anything a bit different, especially something which is asymmetrical!.

Under the skin it is of course just a Ceed, so nothing to fear. Do you plan to keep it indefinately?.

yes the plan is to keep it for many years to come.i bourght it brand new with a big discount..i paid £13,000 back then which seems ridiculous looking at todays prices.

Good on you, if it works, stick with it!.

There is actually one just a stones throw from where I live, in that eye-catching metallic green. Always find myself stealing a second glance as I pass it, just because it is something a bit different.

Just checked and there are a grand total of 35 listed nationwide on Autotrader!.
