Well the Genesis Coupe is on my shortlist for my next new car. I am a sucker for the new models, currently batting .500 on my last 4 cars. Troubles with a ‘98 Olds Intrigue, ‘01 Acura CL had transmission issues. Currently have an ‘03 Mazda 6, and an ‘05 Nissan Xterra. Owned a lot of different brands over the years, but never a Hyundai. I test droved the Genesis sedan, like it a lot just not sure I want to spend mid 30 or more. Didn’t have time to drive the coupe as it was closing time. But I sat in a 3.8 Grand Touring it to make certain it was a fit for me. I like the setup inside, colors, material on seem pretty decent for a 30k coupe. Love the looks, and RWD setup. Here are my negative thoughts, I’m a bit disappointed that the steering wheel does not telescope. I don’t think it will be a big factor for me personally, however the other half may have a bit of a problem. No memory seats ?? Heated seats with only an on/off, no hi/lo or variable settings. Even a 25k Mazda-3 has variable heated seats. Love the A/C seats in the sedan, but they should be for the passenger too !! I’m anxiously waiting for some feedback from owners. |

Replying to: ergsum (Aug 02, 2009 6:22 am) Actually, it's not about me! It's about why do automakers design 'sporty' models with little seats with big bolsters! Are all people over 6' and 200# supposed to only drive SUV or trucks!??! PS: I don't know of anyone who has fallen out of a car seat because the bolsters weren't big enough!!!! PPS: So far this year I have been 99% ready to buy first the Genesis Coupe, then the Nissan 370Z, and then the Camaro SS!! I rejected all three because of their small uncomfortable seats!! . |

| Not overly impressed- way too much road noise and the turbo was a disppointment. I am a fan of Hyundai-own a 05 elantra Gt and previously owned 5 other Hyundai's | |
Just some nice info for your reading pleasure.  http://www.hyundai-blog.com/index.php/2009/10/30/hyundai-genesis-coupe-20-turbo-- r-to-hit-the-streets/ |

Got a Red V6, 6 speed manual transmission. Fully loaded (Nav-Bluetooth-upgraded Infinity sound). They could not get me a Track so they agreed to put the rear spoiler on which I think looks nice and is reported to have functionality at approx 100MPH which my car hits on a semi-regular basis. I also own the V8 Sedan. The V8 is markedly faster, and the 17 speaker Lexicon is also noticeably better (acoustics are incredible in the sedan), but no biggie as the Coupe does what I need it to do. Kick off the ESC and Drift around turns smoking the tires all the way. Very fun to drive... Love them both... So for just over $65k I have 2 outstanding performing cars. Virtually every option you can imagine (need). Hyundai continues to excel and I'm a convert since my first Sonata back in 2006. Great cars, great value... I'm not into "badges"/ "over paying". I happily (and safely)blow away the more expensive Lexus, BMW's Acuras on a regular basis.. Especially in the V8 sedan. That car is incredibly fast and controlable in all conditions. Then I slow down so they can see what just just smoked them... Yep..A Hyundai !! More of my friends now realize that they are overpaying for their "badges" and are considering Hyundais next time around. Smart friends I have... The Coupe rides on a rail. Although I wanted the Track edition, I'm happy now that I get a bit of a better ride and still outstanding handling.

have you had any problems with the handling and ride of your Genesis sedan? I remember reading people complaining of a noise from the front suspension like a tennis ball bouncing around or something. And, from what I've read of Hyundai's reaction to the complaints, they haven't come up with any fix for this "problem." Is that happening to your Genesis sedan? BTW-congrats on your new Genesis'. Great acquisitions! Post a pic of your red Coupe if you can, OK? I love red cars. My current car, that I just love, is a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS in Rally Red color.

I just bought the 3.8 Grand Touring version with the integrated Nav/Bluetooth System. My iPhone paired right away with the Bluetooth, but none of my contacts transferred so I have nothing in the Nav's Phonebook. Also, the system doesn't look like it lets you enter phone contacts manually. Anyone else have this problem?
