2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 - Redline: Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2015
- Often overlooked by better known nameplates in the segment, Hyundai's stylish and attractive Genesis Coupe offers best-in-class V6 power, a slick-shifting 6-speed shifter, combined with track-ready brakes and suspension. Expect twin-turbo V6 power and a more luxurious cabin and sophisticated look for the next-generation in 2017.

Recently got a 2013 Gensis coupe GT 3.8 over a BRZ and I have 0 regrets
Gt mines a 2011 Grand touring track 3.8 of course man's got the full infinity sound system got GPS cruise control sunroof the tax for torque and instant like fuel used ... How is yours different than mine
JoeRamirez How’s the mileage?
The genesis is much better than a brz
How's it holding out? I'm looking at the same one for 11k but 112k miles
My friend had the BRZ there not bad but the genesis hands down is just overall better glad I got my bk2 3.8 track
I don't understand why everyone hates so much on Hyundai... I've got a 2004 sonata and its running at 228k miles no major maintenance. Great reliable cars.
drive anything else, and then say that.
+Leroy Butts what kind of car u drive??? u drive ferrari???
+Leroy Butts Ha... Have you driven modern Hyundais? They get consistent praise.
Right? My first car is a 2011 Sonata. And as for "drive anything else and say that", well I have. Dodge ram 1500's. Chevy Equinox, some older model Buicks. Like why hate on Hyundai because its a Hyundai. Its good shit lol
My 2000 Elantra is a piece of shit when it comes to performance but it's way more reliable than my family's Ford 1999 Taurus and my sister's 2010 BMW 3 series when it came to maintenance.
You got a track pack version and said you wished Hyundai made it softer? Ok.....so then don't get the track pack with the lower profile tires???
It's not the Track. It's the Ultimate which used to be the GT. so yeah, the ride should be a little more compliant.
+CeeStyleDj The ultimate replaces de track for the 2015 model year. The GT is the base 3.8.
The GT didnt have LSD or brembo
For how stiff the ride is, it doesn't handle well enough. 370z and camaro ss for ex. handle better and are nowhere near as harsh .
@@justino9241 The base 370 rides better, but the Nismo 370 doesn't.
I got this car over the BRZ 2 weeks ago and I love it.
csknives2140 It feels great, you should go and test drive one.
+Alexandre Boucher does it take regular gas?
Ello Cogos Yeah, but it is slightly better to put premium.
+Alexandre Boucher that kind of goes without saying. thats why its premium.
Do you gave the same problem when closing the doors the door sounds tiny or the glass shaking?
He talks like he's going to take the car to the track everyday.
I know the Mustang guy was like "WTF?" lol. After building the Tiburon and Genesis coupe It`s fair to say Hyundai has gained the respect of the car community.
The tiburon is a great car
My friend had a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon in high school and tbh it was a piece of shit. I think people bag on Hyundai because for the most part they made boring, not so reliable cars before 2010. Once they got some money from making sub par vehicles, that's when they stopped playin and started making good cars.
@@banginbadger75 I have an 06 tiburon and I’m sure he just diddnt take care of it. My tiburon is still running perfectly fine and it’s 2021🤷🏽♂️
bro, this review really made my mind up of getting a genesis but test driving it would really put my signature of getting it. I really appreciate man, you really covered everything that I need to know.
Thanks to the depreciation of the the name Hyundai, I can enjoy my preowned Gen coupe 2013 for a really low price. I love it every bit of it. so fun to drive! Comparing it to the the 3 muscle cars, the interior is way nicer. Way faster than the brz and frs. Its so unique!
I just had my genesis coupe r-spec totalled, mine was 13, had 40k, beat the hell out of it, zero problems, winter tires and plowed through snow like it's nobody's business, I loved the suspension, clutch feel was a bit too soft and so where gear change for me, other than that, zero complains, would recommend this car to my mama
Sad to see they don't make these anymore, they were really nice cars
Oh I love the look for sure.
What year they stop
You can still buy one, you know. I'm in absolute *love* with my 2010 3.8 GT.
@@Psythikis it fast from a stoplight? And from a roll? Also how is reliability of a 2010?
@@definitionXrp 2016
seems like a best bang for your buck sports car with all the features of the ultimate trim...definitely would like to test drive one someday
I love your reviews! keep it up and don't listen to the negative comments :)
👍🏻 Love Hyundai, got the wife a 2015 Elantra Limited. It has been trouble free for over 50 K miles. Have only done front breaks a battery and 4 Tires. Thinking about a Veloster N for me next!! It’s now February 20020.
i've had this car for about two months now and i am slowly falling in love with it. i got the automatic :( but it is still a great car. everything that he thinks is wrong i would have to agree. with the automatic, when you put in " manual " mode it will automatically shift at 6,000 rpm. but on the other hand i can get about 27 mpg in "manual" mode over full auto. i im a die hard mustang guy but i needed something for college and wouldn't break the bank. im happy i got this over a fr-s/brz because of the power yet it handles just as good. if you are getting a car in this price range and class don't dismiss this car. you might be surprised, i know i was.
Albino LionTV I'm pretty sure a base mustang is cheaper than this...
rjmari i got mine for 24 so thats why i got it. and no dealer had any base models only premium eco boosts and v8's
Albino LionTV All cars with a manual mode do that. In my friends 2013 Focus, it'll let you redline but if you don't shift in about 2 seconds then it will automatically

I have the 2013 8 speed auto grand touring, I love it and the trans has a sport mode for that year only......mpg city driving is not that great though.
Got a 2016 ultimate manual new, has been an absolute joy and reliable I still get compliments on it
Wish I can upgrade my 2013 bk2 to a 2016
just bought a 2015 3.8 manual with 40k miles, only had it a few days but no regrets so far. shifter isnt top notch but it gets the job done just fine.
Got one, love it. Ultimate is the way to go.
One of my favorite car, same color. Love the power and interior. But it's due for a refresh now, looking foward for the next gen
i have a hunch that the later genesis coupe models will be collector cars. Hyundai has come a long way and now have a solid following of customers because they've been on track of doing right by the customer with their awesome warranty's and reliability. They really didn't make a lot of these cars total, and considering its hyundai's first go at a sports car. These things are limited and I've had numerous people tell me " i love that car" "you're driving my dream car". I'm holding on to mine as long as possible.
Love the red and black look!
Wish I had a chance to drive the 2013+ and compare it to my old 2011. The Genesis has all ways looked really good to me.
Where do you live?
Texas
Oh, yeah nowhere near me. A dealer would let you no problem. At least they should.
***** I have no real interest in having a sales men try to sell me a car though xD
+MrGovenator1 You could still be all like "wow! I really like this but I gotta get some things in order to upgrade but I really want to do that for sure! can I get your name?" get the salesmans name. and don't return. after the test drive of coarse ;)
or actually return and get a new car. my 2013 2.0 rspec is fucking awesome, but after this vid I think I'll get someone to let me test drive a 3.8 rspec next time I bring it in for service :)
I'm really struggling between this and a Fr-s. the Fr-s I test drove felt really nimble and fun, but this is faster in the straights, and more practical (like larger usable backseat, nicer interior, and have stuff like buttons on the steering wheel and a sunroof
I'd also like to point out, I've taken the Gen Coupe out on the track a few times and with traction and stability control turned off, the car handles beautifully at the limit. Turn-in is immediate with a bit of understeer but the understeer is easily mitigated with throttle controlled oversteer. You steer this around the corners with the throttle. Acceleration is brisk off the line and in the exit of the turns and easily keeps up with the 370Z Nismo but don't expect to burn them. The Genesis is heavier. If there is one failing, it's surprisingly the brakes. For the large Brembos it carries, there is quite a bit of brake fade and I did manage to cook the fluid on more than one occasion. The front needs to be redesigned to allow more airflow to the rotors.
Other than that, it's a total blast around the track and functions fantastically as a daily driver on the garbage roads of Chicago and with a set of snow tires, does well even in the snow.
When you said Chicago I decided to stop skimming and actually read what you had to say lol
@@albertosanchez5446 U and me both
Wow, some great shifting in this video!
You've come a long way 😮
You'll feel the 40hp more with the 8 speed auto and traction control off. The steering is the best part. You buy it to drive it and it's sooo fun to drive. To bad for the people who refuse to buy because of the name they'll just miss out.
miss out on what? Cars that are 1000x better? I'd much rather take one of the better cars.
+OwnersGen I own a 6 speed 2013 2.0 rspec... don't bring your auto shit into this. it's repulsive. you get brownie points for having a gen coupe (if you really have one) but an automatic? nah.
Look at it this way. People are different and have reasons for their decisions.
1. I absolutely LOVE Manual transmissions.
2. I got a great deal on mine
unfortunately it was auto. Still it doesn't take away from the cars driving dynamics (It's still fun to drive although not as involving).
3. I own the car. Have video proof on my channel. "OwnersGen".
4. Auto or not the complements from people still roll in 😀😉. They love the color.
+OwnersGen Be honest how does this compared to the fr-s planning on leasing 1 or the other in january
Lease? Unlikely, most dealers won't least them. As far as the comparison it depends on what your looking for. The looks are subjective, but the power and response (due to the power) goes to the genesis. The brz/frs doesn't have ANY highway passing power. Unless you plan on boosting or building go with the genesis. And you plan on "leasing" so go with the genesis. If you decide to buy ( because leasing is a long shot) only get a top of the line genesis or r-spec they'll hold value the best comparable to the frs/brz. Either choice is a good choice. Good luck and let me know.
....did you seriously say "An Accord coupe may be better" ...???????
In other parts of your review, you clearly state that you buy the car because it's a sports car so who cares about XYZ but then you recommend an Accord for daily driving?
A stiff ride is a selling point for those that want an adrenaline pumping car, not the appliance that is the Accord.
Inorite yea this dude has no consistancy
Eddie Sloan The Accord coupe V6 and the Genesis Coupe 3.8 are not competitors. The Accord is a coupe version of the appliance that is the Accord line. It's about as inspiring and adrenaline inducing as an Excel Spreadsheet. The Genesis Coupe competes against the Nissan 370z, Camaro V6, Mustang V6 and sometimes the BRZ/FRS twins.
Comparing the Accord and Genesis Coupe is idiotic because one is a sports car designed to look cool, be aggressive, make you giddy like a school girl when you mash the throttle or power through twisties while sliding out the rear tires.....and the other is an Accord.
Inorite We've tested both models very thoroughly and found that the Accord Coupe works better as a daily driver from its softer ride quality, quieter interior, more spacious cabin, and comfortable seats. The Genesis coupe is more fun to drive, its the model to choose if you're going to the track, and looks/feels more like a serious sports car. However, if you don't plan to visit the track, the harsh ride, uncomfortable seats, and heavier feel make it more exhausting as a daily driver. Surprisingly, in a straight line, the two V6 coupes are pretty even. It's not a matter of which one is better, but how are you planning to use this car more and deciding for yourself which will suit your needs more.
Redline Reviews I was going to say something mean but I'll just drill it down to this, "If you truely believe that an Accord Coupe V6 is competing with any model of the Genesis Coupe, then you do not understand this market segment."
Accord V6 has a very preppy engine mated to an excellent manual transmission. Those two factors alone make it comparable to the Genesis Coupe.
Awesome review, I want this as my next car :-)
Me too! Did you ever get one?
I still have the 2010 and proud of it.
Mickxal thinking about getting one from a dealer
are they problematic cars or na
Alex Lemus Till now. Na.
2010 2.0t just hit 84k. Still running strong 💪
I still would take this or the 370z over any v8. Just me though. Between the looks, the sound, the performance, and not as bad daily driver, it just is so much fun driving.
He keeps mentioning for the next generation... He's in a 15 so he's in the next generation.
Wants a softer riding sports car. 🙄
Thanks to your video I finally made up my mind. I’m getting a genesis coupe today. And stick as well. I’d rather have fun than buy a tC and drive boring🤦♂️🤦♂️
The Genesis coupe is the jack of all trades master of none type of car. It doesn't necessarily excel at one specific category. Ive always thought of this car as something you buy when you want muscle car proportions but with import characteristics. The Genesis isnt the fastest but it's quick enough. it doesn't handle amazingly but its def capable, better than most muscle cars.
+TVinmyEye it beats all the muscle v6 cars and imports in its class, in its class but the handling maybe not as good as some imports. Mustang GT isnt cheap anymore its around 8 grand more now than the v6 gen coupe with its new looks and upgrades. So you cant compare v8 muscle to this car anymore
It's what you buy when you need 100k warranty..
Nice Review Of 2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. 😀
Back in 2012 when you tested the 3.8 GT you said tne steering felt heavy. very heavy you said. But with this 3.8 Ultimate, you say it feels a little over boosted? What happened? Thanks.
Hey great review. However i wanted to point out that the push to start keyless fob is available on all trims, not just the R-Spec and Ultimate package.
Great review. I have a 2013 3.8 r soec and you hit on all the key points i would have. Really sad Hyundai is taking this up market for the next model. I wont be able to afford it now.
I just bought this car 5 hours ago and it is the R Spec and a 2014 model and it is a rough loud ride. This car is definitely fast and made for straight line racing and taking wide curvy roads. I like to weave in and out of traffic and it is fun to drive in. It is a somewhat fast car....don't underestimate this car.
+John Vu - I owned the 3.8 and even that wasn't as powerful as you're making it out to be:)
MaestroDraven I use to own a 350z and that car could take off but this car is somewhat faster than that 350z was. No, it's not a "powerful" car but it is definitely faster then the Z is which is still good to me. When this car gets going, it's kind of scary and even in the drivers seat it is scary, unlike my Z which never scared me at all, even though it was fast itself.
John Vu Oh totally. The 350Z wasn't really a very fast car when you think about it. But that was 10 years ago, and HP aint' what it used to be. The Genesis however...it's good, but not great. I had a ton of fun in my 3.8 but it still left me wanting.
MaestroDraven I first had the 350z and it could flat out take off then now I bought the 2014 Genesis with also the 3.8 and it's faster then the Z is and sure, of course, you get use to the speed and want more. That doesn't mean the car isn't fast though. So, I am financing the car, and the worst thing happened - at first I thought the car was too fast for the street and should be on a track, then after only three weeks I became use to the car and now I want something like the IS F or something with that amount of HP...it's a scary fast car but yes, I want a faster car too. That doesn't mean the Genesis isn't fast though. What year was your car?
I just bought a 2014 3.8 ultimate at only 4K KM, and it has a backup camera... Was I suppose to or did the previous owner install it
Sounds soooo good 🔥🔥🔥
I love the design of this car. Reminds me of a BRZ/86 except actually has a little power to go with it.
The genesis is made before an brz
...
I just bought a 2016 model and I love it...so fast and very good looking in Black...I got the ultimate package for 31,000 out the door price
How do You get the ultimate package for that price? I'm trying to buy a base, but they are asking about 29k out the door.
tripledrock do you know the price for a white automatic Genesis coupe 2016? Hyundai is giving me a bad experience with their sales rep. They give me a low price on the phone and when I come there , the price is totally different and way more expensive . I don't want to waste time going to a far away dealer and end up having to leave because their price is too expensive .
Very well done review
Oooo they changed the radio and multimedia controls... SD card slot? Wonder if that is only for the map, or can you use it for music storage?
my friend just got his and i sat in it today, omg the seats and cockpit feel much better than my accord... but then it happens everytime you sit in a new car thats not yours, and the feeling will go away after a few weeks
Yeah a lot of people think Hyundai overrated the power figures, stock dynos show that the car is probably closer to 320-330 hp at the crank. Sounds and looks great tho!
the 100k warranty... IM SOLD
Btw does this Genesis come with rev match?
Awesome showing
It is 183" long. My 2008 Corolla is 180" long, so that shows you that the Genesis Coupe is actually quite a 'SMALL' car, not big at all, and I like that. (my garage is only 16 feet long).
the fact that u got 2nd to chrip confirms that they didnt do the stupid restrictor in the slave like they did with the tiburon but there's a DIY for that
If you could find one, I would love to hear what you think about a IPL G37 Coupe 6spd. Or a G37xs Coupe.
Question for all of you. I'm trying to decide between the 2015 wrx cvt and the 2016 hyundai genesis coupe cvt.
I have to have this in cvt because of an injury, so which one do you all Think I should get.
when he said it doesn't have the heritage of a mustang or cammaro , does the Z not have heritage ? (1970s)
Just read about the 2016 and wow its guna be sick
can you get the 3.5 ultimate without spoiler and with automatic trans instead of Manuel
Good solid review
my 2010 R-spec turbo genesis is currently stage 1 with full bolt ons. already as fast as the 3. 8 first gen.
if I go stage 2 am I gonna be faster than the new gen?
I test drove 2.0 Turbo coupes with manual transmission. I didn't like the road noise but my main problem was how the engine hold rpm between shifts.
3.8 is fast! What if they release a model with the Sedan's 5.0L V8!
that would be really awesome
they won't it's been a rumor for 7 years..
+THEMilkSHAIKH Next generation with come with a 400+ BHP twin turbo v6. Genesis name has officially left Hyundai and will now be sold to a completely different class of people
Looking at a 2013 3.8 track low miles for low 20’s. These cars holding up over time maintenance wise? And any other other car similar on the market these days worth looking at?
No problems with mine. 57000 miles over 8 years. Do your homework, you never know how the previous owner treated their csr.
Genesis gang where y'all at 👌
Great test, I'm from Europe, price for 2.0 model 35 000 dollar or more. It's also difficult to get, a lot of countrys doesn't sell coupe model. Have a nice time
26k for a 2015 v6? I'm in!!! Who else haha
I'm getting one soon too xD I really love how the car look and rides.
did u ever get ur genesis?
Yadiel Ortiz you ever get the car?
@Saul Rosenberg I just bought a 2010 track for $4,000 with 138k miles, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Saul Rosenberg dang that sucks i got my 2013 2.0t a couple months ago i want a 3.8 so bad
Mines is red like this one 2014 Ultimate 3.8 but it has a black roof top & the fog lights & tail lights have very dark tined covers & modified pipes. It has 67k miles on it and spend most of the year parked in the garage. My daily driver is a 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT.
My 2016 gets 22 MPG cruising around and 30 MPG if exclusively highway. This is over the course of almost 2 years...
I have this car and some lady ran into it while she was texting and driving. It's being repaired right now and in the mean time I have a crappy corolla. I really miss driving the Genesis...
Well done spot! :)
On a scale from 1-10 how "heavy" is the clutch on this car?
thinking about a genesis coupe..its RWD and im in NY, would i be screwed? do i have to get new tires every winter?
If you live in NYC, its a waste. You don't have anywhere you can enjoy the power and yes, you do need winter tires. You shouldn't need a new set every winter though, 1 set should last you at least 2 winters.
Does this Hyundai model have a backup camera I was looking all over and I haven't seen anything about it.
+Demetrius Stitmon Nah, it just has backup sensors
Does anyone know if you can install a back up camera on the stock radio?
guys! How would you rate these cars, 2015 hyundai genesis coupe 3.8 vs 2015 mercedes cla250 coupe vs 2015 honda accord exl v6 coupe if one has to buy
by next generation are you saying the 2016 will look different?
I can't believe this isn't sold in right hand drive markets!
I really love this car
Did Hyundai ever fixed the 6 speed manual transmission problems with these models?
Redline Reviews, you need to test drive the 2015 Challenger Scat Pack. I realize you aren't a fan of the size of it, but I test drove it and you will be giggling like a school kid the moment you mash the go pedal. :D
Will you ever review a Lexus again, preferably the IS250/IS350? It's been a while since you've reviewed one before.
Hermit527 We'll be getting a 2015 Lexus IS250 F-Sport next month for testing :)
Redline Reviews please get the 350 F-Sport right after!! The 2.5L V6 is so underwhelming that most reviewers say to ignore it and go straight for the 3.5L V6
I have a 2016 3.8L with the manual and I get about 22mpg (24mpg with ethanol free 89 octane) around town and 31mpg on the highway.
Do you recommend the manual
I read somewhere that the next one is actually getting the 5.0 V8 from the sedan. Fingers crossed it's still hooked to a manual.
I heard that too, but from all the speculation that I gathered about the subject this is what I've put together. The "Genesis" line of cars (currently being the coupe and the Sedan) might start as it's own luxury brand kinda like how Infiniti did from Nissan, Lexus from Toyota, and Acura from Honda. The coupe might be more in the likes of the G37 coupe (keeping the Hyundai ways but not the Hyundai pricing) while the sedan might be more subtle beast in it's own right. OR... The Genesis line will stay with Hyundai as a whole, and while the coupe may receive the option for a V8 package from it's 4-door big brother, big brother might be getting a brand new monster altogether. Either way it seems the coupe is due for a V8 eventually as it's original rival was supposed to be the Camaro. And revision after revision, it finally, as a 3.8L V6 best the Camaro, Charger, and Mustang... as V6 packages as well... The next step for Hyundai should be a V8 so then the coupe can compete with the versions of the rivals people mainly concern their selves with (V8 Stangs, Camaros, etc). The only problem with that is if the "Genesis" brand becomes it's own entity as the aforementioned "Luxury" brand, then we might lose the stick shift in favor of a Dual clutch paddle shift as what most automakers do when concerned with going faster or making a car feel like less work to drive because of said luxury. We of course lose the "affordable sports car" category placing because surely a luxury V8 won't run you for the same as BRZ or Miata, but then we still have hope with whatever Hyundai is going to do with the N performance concepts... Especially that RM-16...
I think that it's reasonable to expect a price increase for a new platform/V8, but I believe Hyundai will already have what it wants with the Equus and Genesis sedan, what I expect a luxury sports car would be is a similarly equipped Genesis ultimate trim possibly, with no manual option and a full interior, with pricing around $45,000. What Ford's doing with the Mustang, essentially. But, by that same token, don't forget that the Mustang GT starts at 32. I'd expect the same from the new V8 Genesis Coupe. And that GT is a hell of a lot of car for that money.
I like it when you say "coupe" sounds funny
Can you do a review on a 2014 Hyundai Genesis coupe 2.0t r-spec
How's the headroom in the front? He's 5'7 and he looks like he's getting pretty close to the roof. Anyone around my height (6'1) have any experience with the 13-15 genesis coupe?
+Robert FrownyJr i'm 6'3 and fit just fine
+Chris Droke same here...
Can I use your videos to show to my clients how good some cars are?
Now they need to bring back the genesis coupe N.
Can the Accord Coupe V6 be in this comparison since the 0-60 and size aren't the much different from the Genesis Coupe?
+Jonathan Washington The accord is FWD, the genesis is RWD, thats a pretty determining factor.
+Nombre I hate torque steer
Eddie Sloan Manufacturers got rid off RWD because FWD was cheaper and space efficient, if thats what your looking then you should consider a boring mid size sedan with 2 doors missing and a bigger engine, try to make sharp turn and you will learn that "Fishtailing" is better than understeering all the way to the wall.
The accord coupe is not a sports car..
+Jonathan Washington I hope you're not talking to me. the Accord Coupe and Hyundai Genesis are in two different classes and categories. the Accord Coupe is basically just a honda accord with 2 doors. it is a great car, has a pretty powerful engine in v-6 form and a nice ride and front wheel drive. However, the Genesis coupe is a Rear wheel drive sports car Designed from the ground up to be a sports car. he competes with the Chevy Camaro, Ford Mustang, Nissan 370z and sometimes with the Infiniti g37. The Accord coupe is not os the same class and doesn't compete with those cars. that doesn't mean it's not nice car its just a different type of vehicle.
is it possible to have Traction ON and Stability OFF? I know you can do the reverse.
+CeeStyleDj 5 months late on this response but pushing the traction control once will turn the traction control off (of course) and holding the traction control down a few seconds will turn stability and traction completely off. That how I crashed my 13 2.0t and upgraded to 13 3.8 track lol sad times
you should do a 2015 veloster turbo... i have one and i love it.!!!
can you review a veloster?
I would wish that you would take cars like this to an autocross. You would have a different perspective towards sunroof, power seat with memory, navigation, etc. All of those features add weight, which would detract from performance handling, especially with the narrowish tires that the Genesis comes with.
I picked up a 2015 Base 3.8 MT for a shade under $24,000 all fees included. There are deals to be had. This review is spot-on. One thing I don't think he mentioned was the abrupt clutch take-up. You get used to it, but you might want to bring some dramamine for the salesman on the test drive. One more thing is the aftermarket support for the car. There are a surprising amount of performance parts. HOWEVER. Once you move beyond the cold-air kits, they are more expensive than equivalent Mustang/Camaro aftermarket parts. Be warned: getting your 3.8 to 400+ HP is going to be an expensive proposition... if that's your thing. A great value, strong motor, good handling (no electronic power steering!), and the best warranty in the business.
Duncan McLellan Agreed on the deals to be had! Especially when you're looking at the $40,000 plus pricing on Mustang and 370Z fully loaded. For the same money as a BR-Z or FR-S, you could have this burly V6. To some people, that is very appealing.
Duncan McLellan The reason the clutch is such a pain is due to the Dual Mass flywheel installed. The clutch will grab with gusto but you have to wait that split second for the springs in the flywheel to compress before power is transmitted to the driveshaft. I absolutely hate the DM flywheel.
Inorite Thanks for the info. Are there any benefits to this set-up, or is it a cost-cutting/ durability play?
Redline Reviews Agreed on your love for the V6. Like the 5.7 Hemi (but from the other direction), it's tucked nicely between the Mustang/Camaro V6s and the full-boat V8s in terms of power. Unfortunately, a bit closer to the V8 in MPG. I've read elsewhere that it is tuned it to run rich for longevity at the expense of MPG.
Duncan McLellan It's a durability/reliability part and unfortunately, almost all other manufacturers use the Dual Mass flywheel as well. DM flywheels have internal springs to reduce shock transmitted to the driveshaft/wheels and vice versa. That's all fine and dandy but the added mass makes the flywheels unGodly heavy. The flywheel in the Gen coupe is upwards of 50lbs. Just so you're aware, aluminum race flywheels can be as light at 6lbs and 'street' performance flywheels average in the teens.
whats funny is that im going from a sonata sport to a genesis soon and for a sedan with 186hp its not bad and can be fun at times raced an amg with it xD but ill be able to do more with the genesis coupe i want the r spec model tbh
For Hyundai not being in the rwd sports car market not too long I say they are doing a good job the only "sports car I can recall Hyundai having was the Tuscani which later went on to be the Tiburon. The Tiburon was a fwd though and also it didn't compete well as a sports coupe. I give Hyundai props though because their experience in the sports car market is very little and I see a bright future for their sports car in years to come. Not to mention Hyundai is noted a cheap reliable economy based car brand with a great warranty. The new genesis sedan is really making a name for itself along with eqqus as far as luxury goes and for what you get for the price with Hyundai they are definitely a car brand to look at if your not looking to break the bank or if your just looking for something unique and different
+Jon Cuebas - It's a fine car, but the problem is that sports car development is accelerating at a rapid pace, and there are just too many superior alternatives for the price range.
Will b nice if you review the all new 2016 nissan maxima
I wouldn’t mind getting one of these things, I’d go for a twin turbo set up though.Just saying I like it without the spiller.
I love your reviews!! To the point without the " check me out I'm funny" commentary. .
Is this a review or your negatively opinions on the car ?
So v6 accord starts at 30k+ w/o options while the base model v6 gen starts just shy of 27k.. Accord gives you 280ish hp at the crank and gen gives you almost 350 hp at the crank.. Lets not forget torque favors the gen by about 40lb-ft.. Accord is fwd and gen is rwd.. One of these is not like the other
Push button start is standard on all trim levels for 2015.
