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?

The car is so new I have not gotten into seeing if I can "permanently upload my contacts once...I would suggest talking to your dealer to see if they can trouble shoot. It should work..

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Nov 21, 2009 1:40 pm) I have had no noise issues with my V8 Genesis Sedan with regards to suspension. Also, I find the suspension just fine. Is it like a Lexus 460LS? No...not that smooth-spongy, but then again, the Lexus is $75k. I decided to save $35k and forego a ride that is so soft you can't be sure if you are really driving, shitty gas mileage, not as quick (even though it's got more HP-the 2009) heated and a/c in the rear seats for the much more affordable and IMHO, better performing Genesis. I feel the suspension issues are overblown. Car rides great... Not looking to get into it with anyone, but if they feel there is an issue, they are likely used to the cushy ride of other luxury sedans. Don't get me wrong, this car rides great. 80 - 100 MPH and you would think your doing 50 MPH. But does the rear take a horizontal bump as well as the over priced competition, no. But is it a problem? Again, not in my humble opinion.

Replying to: dczark (Nov 22, 2009 4:09 am) Is the phone you are using an iPhone 3G too? I actually did spend a couple hours Friday at the dealer. As you said, the Hyundai nav/bluetooth system is so new that they really haven't had enough experience to be any help. Interestingly, the brand of phone that seems to work best with the system is "LG". We fooled with it for a while, but I still couldn't get it to upload any of the "contacts" from my iPhone. They also couldn't figure out how to manually enter the contacts individually. More research required.
