Hyundai Coupe getting 333hp

RiCharlie · 03-09-2011, 08:20 AM

I drove a Hyundai Genesis and the ride was awful.. like using steel wheels..Completely unsuitable for daily driving on anything but the smoothest roads... and perhaps it was not fair, but the one I drove made a hell of a squeal when I hit the breaks even in moderate braking.. The dealer told me some rust had accumulated on them..

Additionally, the transmission was reving at 4500 rpm at 45 mph..really annoying and sure to wear it out rather quickly... again this is probably not the way it was supposed to be and the dealer should have caught that..and maybe its not fair to judge but the entire incident brings up the point that there is more to a car than a big engine.. there is the matter of QUALITY and I just dont think Hyundai has as much quality as Nissan.. Yes they have upgraded but based on my experience, and even realizing that this was just one incident and probably the dealers fault, I would still much prefer Nissan quality ..

No I never said that but I drove the Genesis for a full day and a half.. the dealer let me do that,, and believe me its much rougher than the Z, I had plenty of time to get the feel of it and .,.it really is much harsher on the roads.,.I just could never enjoy it unless I was on smooth highways.. you really felt every bump and it was not at all pleasant.. The Z really is much better..
