Test drove Genesis coupe today
 

I thought I would test drive Hyundai's Genesis coupe as I wait for my Z to come :icon14:. The first thing I noticed was the harsh ride compared to the Z. The Z is a much more compliant ride. I tested the auto as that is what I ordered with the Z. This transmission is not very responsive and the paddle shifters are horrible, and also no rev-matching. The manual would definitely be the way to go. The wheel is very hard and uncomfortable and felt like plastic, I think it was leather though. Seating felt fine, could use more lateral support though, and braking was quite good with Brembo's all around. It also seemed to handled very well. The interior looked pretty good at first glance , although not real sporty. Upon closer inspection there were a lot of hard plastic materials, not so good. One thing I noticed was my knee was hitting the centre console a lot and it was a hard material, got to like the Z's soft leather panels. All in all it's not a bad car, but it doesn't come close to the Z in my opinion. I think it would fall even shorter on the track.

It's hyundai... really hard to compare it to a Z. Also with model did you test drive? 2.0T or the 3.8T ?

3.8l.

I drove one for a couple days. It's ok. Good value for the $, that's for sure.

Absolutely, if you want a sports car on the cheep it's a great car.

Well, I'm sure we all have different definitions of "sports car." I would probably label it a "sporty car." But yeah, if I wanted something slick on the cheap, that would be at the top of my list.

of course our Z is cant be compare to others ..since its number one for me..what about you stealth?

Compared to a Ferrari 430, the Z is a "sporty car". That is my definition of a "sports car".

^^ stole my emote.........lol....

it would be funny if the mtl meet i have planned would go to a hyundai dealership and ask to test drive....lol

the dealership near us has a car on the roof, we wanted to ask if we could test drive that one......lol

poor hyundai, i feel sorry for them. They would be better off shutting down and starting over again with a new name. They would need to keep it a secret also, that they were formerly known as hyundai. A hyundai badge cuts the value of any vehicle it is attatched to in half. If the top of the line hyundai track that retails for 30k was priced at 15k it might have a chance at selling.

In the end it's a what? right a Hyundai

In the end your a what? a brand snob and not an auto enthusiast.

If it came in a 3.8T i would so have one right now lol

:bowrofl::roflpuke2:

exactly.............but only til u drive off the lot

How do you mean?

In 5 years, Koreans dominate F1 and have the hottest lineup on the planet. :p

You read it here first. Think about what this company produced 5 years ago, compare with 2009. :icon14:

reliability isnt too good


so when u drive the lot, u'll know why hyundai has a hang over

predicted :icon08:


hyundai and kia are the same shit

Let me get my boots on, the **** is getting deep!

LMAO, they felt the same way about the Japs back in the day. Actually, I amend my statement. In 10 years, China owns F1 title.

Chinese or Korea? You've posted both?

LOL, Korea in 5, China in 10

Not a enthusiast ? Hyundai tradition is what a econobox throw away car! do you forget how they started? with the Hyundai Excel (1985-1994) I'm sorry If I hurt your feelings! but you can buy a Genises and be on your way!

:wtf2:

wtf is going on in here (opens door and stumbles into the room....)

Some brand snob is arguing with someone :roflpuke2:

Off topic a bit:
How did that funky looking Hyundai Sedan get car of the year?

Brand Snob here, Hey that's not true I like disposable cars like everyone else..lol.
