My car's performance has not changed. it still runs great and I get the advertised gas mileage if I drive it conservatively, but most of the time I do not as I like this car and it likes to go fast.
I almost bought an Accent before I discovered the Veloster on Hyundai's website. Your car is slightly more fuel efficient due to being lighter, but I love my Vster. I get over 40 mpg on the highway when I hold the speed below 60 mph, but I usually do not; my Vster also likes to go fast.
Regarding what dealerships say about the FF... I suspect most dealerships use cheap dino oil for oil changes and therefore have some incentive to claim that the FF is also dino. I'd like to see a laboratory analysis of the FF or read something from Hyundai corporate on the issue.
