I bought the Genesis brand new and it has 40k miles on it now. My wife drives the Genesis mostly (she loves it lol) but when I drive it I feel like something isnt right. Its lacking something that the Z has. It just feels numb compared to the Z. Depending on what you want in life in the near future (3-5 years) should really be the main determining factor of your decision.
The Z is inconvenient in a few places:
1) Seating - It sucks when you only have 2 seats in real life situations. Performance cars yes, daily drivers it can be a pain.
2) Storage - hahaha
3) Insurance - When you're young and you own a Z, get ready to take it in the rear.
These are things that are a given however when you own a real sports car. The return is that awesome feel when you drive it.

maybe you have a touring Z? i love my touring nav Z's interior but compared to the base, the genesis is quite nice for the price. |
I do have a touring Z, but I dont have nav. I was mostly talking more about the quality of the plastics/leather in the Genesis. It is noticeably cheaper than the Z. No doubt the design is nice on the newer Genesis though. Also IMO, the Genesis is a good car for the price, I definitely agree with you there. I have had literally zero problems out of mine since I bought it. Its a 3.8 R-Spec. If we/ my wife didnt like it so much we would have sold it by now lol.
