tru tru. what about the genesis coupe 3.8?

UNKNOWN_370

It's s great first attempt at a sports car.the evolution over the course of one generation was remarkable. But the Genesis coupe has ECU programming that hinders it from being as good as it can be. It's Brembos have been engineered with too many cost cutting shortcuts and finally, the transmission response which is probably hindered by poor ecu tuning is subpar by comparison to the Z. Finally. It's wheelbase and weight distribution don't allow it to be a true competitor once on track. It's still a 2+2.

The only reason I can add the 86 to the mix is.... despite being a 4 seater. It's still has 2 seater dimensions, driving dynamics and weight. The Genny doesn't Nor does the camaro or any muscle. We can compare Porsche but I was comaring more attainable marks...

Agreed. My Genny is a FANTASTIC GT car for the money. As a sports car it falls short against the Z. Though IMHO it's a better GT car than either a mustang or camaro. For the money that is.

Genesis coupe let me ad is plagued with transmission issues. I considered the genesis... until I read up on these issues....
Dont believe me?... how about a 118 page thread on their webpage:
OFFICIAL THREAD: Manual Transmission Issues - Hyundai Genesis Forum

Cant beat our reliability...our CSC is crap but its a 1 to 2k fix versus a 10k fix that never really gets fixed...

Well at least they have 10 years or 100k miles to have their transmission replaced for free as apposed to Nissan's 3/36K if your slave fails.

Thats the problem ...we can actually fix ours they get a swap from a POS trans to another POS hyundai trans until the warranty runs out and they have a POS trans...that breaks down....

What about Hyundai? go south korea

So you'd prefer to pay and waste the better part of your day rather then get a replacement for free for 10 years at which is a moot point since most people will get another car by then. Even our '09s would still be covered and their problem is just annoying where as ours leaves you stranded.

So you would rather prefer to have a grinding transmission that drives like crap the majority of the time, instead of a 1 time incident that can be fixed right and then your done?
Lets don't forget the down time you have as they work on removing your transmission and changing it to another faulty transmission that will eventually grind again.

Having a warranty and warranty politics are two different entities. I've been able to get Nissan to fix things out of warranty just because it's a known issue. Try that with Hyundai.

Besides.... ours is more racecar. A Lil flashback of a forgotten memory.
