I thought I would test drive Hyundai's Genesis coupe as I wait for my Z to come
. The first thing I noticed was the harsh ride compared to the Z. The Z is a much more compliant ride. I tested the auto as that is what I ordered with the Z. This transmission is not very responsive and the paddle shifters are horrible, and also no rev-matching. The manual would definitely be the way to go. The wheel is very hard and uncomfortable and felt like plastic, I think it was leather though. Seating felt fine, could use more lateral support though, and braking was quite good with Brembo's all around. It also seemed to handled very well. The interior looked pretty good at first glance , although not real sporty. Upon closer inspection there were a lot of hard plastic materials, not so good. One thing I noticed was my knee was hitting the centre console a lot and it was a hard material, got to like the Z's soft leather panels. All in all it's not a bad car, but it doesn't come close to the Z in my opinion. I think it would fall even shorter on the track.
