I took it to them complaining of the tranny making noise and acting weird. they said everything was ok so i started modding the car, intake, BOV, piggyback, and turboback. took it back in because i figured out what they did and the told me i took out the tranny and the entire car was voided. By 5K miles the seats were comming undone and the stearing wheel was pealing and voided.

Like I said man, all you need is an oil cooler. I haven't tracked the car yet but it hasn't gone above 220 or so which is about normal.

i like your choice of color for your cars

So you wrecked it? Pictures?

[LuckyJinx]

I didn't like driving the genesis. Felt real slow.those eyes are so sinister tho.

My friend has the 2010 3.8 Genesis Base
He has full boltons and a tune and it's alright
But the Z takes of the gen everyday [:<
Idk he has the auto so maybe manual sucks...

[vividracing]

genesis looks clean! nice collection of previous cars!

[TsukubaCoupe]

Good luck with finding your new car. It's too bad you didn't seem to enjoy the Genesis Coupe that much... How did your interior get worn out so badly? Mine looks new at 25k miles..
Mind if I share the thread with your car?

Who's lying?

I'm a member of Gencoupe.com as well... search my name. I joined 10-2008, before the car was even in showrooms because I was set on getting one.

I read the forums all the time and when the day came for me to drive a 3.8 Track, I left the dealership pissed off because of how disappointed I was.

I know why I didn't buy one... because it seemed like it was cheaply made and the gearbox is garbage.

Everyone has their own opinions about it and honestly the best choice I made was to NOT buy a Gen Coupe, wait 2 more years an buy the car I really wanted.

The 370Z.

[FastJew]

One of the many things I like about the Z is it seems to be a much more mature group of owners. The only derogatory remarks I have seen on this forum come from owners of other vehicles...hmmm

[Immortal]

I actually just joined today and I should have introduced myself first but I was browsing the newbies and ran across this one, I'm debating between the two cars, but I seem to be leaning more towards the 370z. The gen does have some nice appeal to it but I seem to like the Z a lot more when it comes to performance wise and the fact that its been around a lot longer than the genesis makes me lean towards it as well. Congrats on the Z by the way!

I really respect what Hyundai is doing with their cars now a days, they are really bumping their image but they still have a lot to learn in the process.
Nissan has been making some of the most legendary cars for a long time now.

[Ghetto2315]

I joined this forum about a year ago because I was looking to get a 370Z. Requirements for my car were 2-door Coupe, manual tranny, superb performance and handling, great styling and comfort.

The Gen Coupe was always on the radar. After laying down all the pros and cons of each, the Gen Coupe came out on top because of my driving style and what I needed it for. I was looking for a Daily Driver, and I thought the Z was going to be a little overkill for my commute to and from work. I work for Mercedes-Benz and since I am in the auto business, I ONLY lease cars. The lease on a Gen Coupe versus a Z was leaps and bounds better. Hyundai's Residual and MF was just too good to pass up. Even getting both cars at triple-net.

On any rate, I got the 3.8 6-Speed Track Edition with the Brembos, LSD, HID, Nav, and all the bells and whistles. Performance wise, I knew the Z was better but the value of the Hyundai was literally like a b*tch slap the in the face of the Z. If I were going to track the car, I'd take the Z hands down. For every day use, you're not beating the Gen Coupe and what the car offers. I have not had single problem with the car. No tranny issues whatsoever.

Agreed that the 2.0T is slow as a dog, but the 3.8 offers fantastic performance and styling. It's a satisfaction knowing that I'm still faster than 95% of the cars on the road. I'm used to 500+ HP AMG missles (with the exception of our C63 AMG with only 451-HP) and the Gen Coupe is quick. I'll always be a fan of the Z, but some of you who bash it because it's a Hyundai seriously need to get out more. I work for the best automotive brand in the world in MB, and my co-workers don't even question me why I drive a Hyundai anymore. In fact, I frown when anybody talks bad about another company.

I guesss... to each their own.

Exactly what do you do for MB? Why don't you drive one of the cars from the "best automotive brand in the world?"

I'm really not talking BAD about any car company, but lets remember what we are discussing here.

Hyundai. In case you have forgot, it's the same company that brought you these.







Seriously, look at the Gen Coupes heritage. I'm not here to argue that the car isn't well equipped. Sure it is. If options is more important than quality.

What is the old saying... Quality before Quantity?

That is certainly a matter of opinion.

06+ Civic Si's with bolt ons will give you a run.

Could it because they are tired of hearing a Hyundai owner justify why they bought (or in your case leased) a Hyundai?

I'm not trying to be a d*ck here, I just want you to see why these cars are so different. If you don't care about owning a quality sports car that has more than 40 years of heritage, built and designed by one of the most innovative and motorsport-oriented companies in the world than that is fine. But don't complain when I say the Genesis has a garbage gear box.

Here it is again... the "value." Man, Hyundai must be killin' it with the PR stuff. Why was it a slap in the face? Because Nissan doesn't want to give away things for free or lower the quality of their Z car? I think the Z is priced appropriately and the people that drive them seem to be a different type of crowd.
