Default So i drove the Genesis coupe 3.8

Well yesterday I took my crossfire in to get the engine mount fixed and the Hyundai dealership was right next to the Chrysler dealership. While I was waiting i decided to go drive the 2010 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 coupe, and I can say i hated it. It was decently powerful but the gear shift was terrible, it rode bad, felt cheap, and i hated it. And honestly the Crossfire feels faster. The genesis sits very high, unlike the crossfire, which may be why the crossfire feels faster.

I believe it was around $35,000. I didnt really look but I remember the sales man saying something and I think that was it. But the car didnt feel like a sports car, and for over 300 hp it didnt feel fast at all.

I'm looking for a video of a the V-6, 6 speed? Genesis coupe local to me. It has headers and a tune. I saw it run 13.7 at 101 or something around there. If I find it I'll put a link.

It's long but if you wait you will see it at the track. This wasn't the time I saw it run, it's faster now. They also take the car to the track days.

the genesis handles great, in fact with the track package they expect it to beat the car and driver VIR top track time:

The Lightning Lap, 2009 - Feature - Auto Reviews - Car and Driver

they run high 13's stock.

all the car magazines are giving it great reviews. go to some of the genesis forums, some are making over 500whp already.
