So long 370...

Firebase99 · 04-29-2014, 08:58 AM

Well I jumped ship last week. Traded in my '13 Z for a '14 Hyundai 3.8 Ultimate. Loved driving the Z in perfect weather, on cool(er) days, with no traffic. It was the perfect car for that. Here in, south Florida, with the traffic, the horrible traffic, even driving to work at 515 in the morning, the heat, and every dude in a Stang, Camaro, civic revving at you to race. The Z was just so high strung. Maybe in two years, with a new Z platform ill get back into one. But this Genny Coupe. Bigger, slower (though no slouch at all, itll get up and go, not quite like the Z but quick), and every possible option imaginable and ungodly comfortable. The interior is STUNNING. Exterior...not so much but inside its really amazing.

My wife ended up wanting the Veloster Turbo but we look at the genesis coup and I liked the interior, good luck with your new car! I hope you enjoy it!

My wife has a 2013 Veloster Turbo as well. I've been very impressed with the car, especially what you get for the price. Not to mention you really can't beat their warranty. Congrats and good luck with it!

Enjoy the Genesis...

Congratulations on your new car, drive safe

Firebase99 · 04-29-2014, 09:28 AM

Thanks everyone. Had Z's all my life. Im sure Ill be back in one at some point. For the $, you just cant beat what the 3.8 has to offer, and its more inline of what i want, now that i hit 35. LOL.

Good luck! Tho I am in Florida and the heat doesn't do anything to the car. And you do have a/c!

Have fun, the 3.8 Genesis coupe really impressed me. It has more features than the Z, but just doesnt have the wow factor of the Z. I would say it is basically Hyundai's version of the G37.

I agree, except its nicer than the G on the inside. I test drove this car a day before i bought the Z, it was awesome, but it didnt have that wow factor like you said. But NOW, thats what i do like about it, its so much more...laid back. And the ride...its perfect. That 3.8 has a fantastic growl too.

No shame in switching cars.... there are good features in each vehicle!
