I was given a Genesis to test drive for a full 24 hours and during that time i discovered several things: one is that the car rode like a rock..i just thought of steel tires on rough concrete..with a stiff suspension...In fact I hated it when it was anywhere but on a smooth open highway and even then it was not pleasant

Also the engine constantly reved at 4000 and more even when i was at 40 mph!!!..that seems like something was wrong with this demo.


And when I applied the brakes the car pulled strongly to one side. Dealer said he should have corrected that...

Now both of these problems may have been things that could have been solved by the dealer ...but it tells me and reminds me that there is more to evaluating a car than just sheer horsepower....and for my money the reputation, proven quality and reliability and the balanced approach to what they produce means I will put my money on Nissan..beautiful advertisements and horsepower ratings for Hyundai dont mean a damn to me...Overall quality is key...
