Prepare for a lengthy but thought out opinion friends... lol
Hey wats up guys! Just throwin in my two cents really quick. I saw that they mentioned
Kia. Actually the car and driver review came out pretty much tie to the xb.
Scion was more refined but kia was a better handler. One thing we must remember that
From 1968 till about 1984 our japanese cars we love so much got the same exact
Reviews that hyundai was getting b4 98. Kia has been strong for 3 years and hyundai for 10.
I was going to mention the kia forte. It shares a lot of tech with the genesis coupe.
That car I test drove the 3.8 and it performed so well that I was planning to purchase it.
The genesis is one of those cars. U won't believe me till u drive it.
I decided to wait and save an extra 8g grand cuz one day I went to service my 3.5se
At the dealership. N they know me so well there that when they saw me lookin at the 370z. They just through me the keys. Lol well after 45 minutes I was in luv. On my way to buy a genesis coupe,
I passed a nissan dealership for one last test drive. After another 45 minute test drive. I didn't get the genesis. But my point is. The genesis was truely comparable to the performance of the G37 for 10k less.
The Z's 2 seat platform gives it an edge with less weight and wider tires.
But hyundai surprised me BIGTIME. So I recommend if u consider a hyundai/kia?
Test drive it. As we know... reviews can be very deceptive when the bigger companies have more money to endorse the magazines.
Just as BMW has been buying there reviews. I've driven these 2. They are great handlers. And powerful.
But honestly nissan is most definately comparable. And has been for at leaast 3 years. But magazines act like nissan is just catching up now. Honda often gets better reviews than nissan.
My wife having owned a couple of accords I can tell u the altima whips its butt. She drives nissans now as well. I guess my dragged out story is saying. Lol
If it interests you? Just test drive it. In 2009 2010. There's a lot of comp cuz everyone has a superior segment right now. Even hyundai kia.
