In a dilemma (Z vs 2013 Genesis)

Red__Zed · 02-18-2012, 02:34 PM

The Z is in a league far above the Genesis. A quick drive in both cars should allow you to confirm this for yourself.

Hyundai has done a great job refining the Genesis, but the dynamic is still quite a ways off from the Z.

the 2012 Genesis coupes come in either a 2.0 liter turboed engine or a 3.8 v6 right?

I have owned a 350z and GC 3.8. Like others have said the Genesis is a great first try in the rwd car segment. Hyundai has an awesome warranty for the car as well. It's a bit quicker than the earlier 350 too. You can get the r spec model with Brembos for a pretty decent price.

The interior quality on them is lacking however. They are a bit heavy and aren't as nimble. Needless to say that I don't own a 370 yet but I do own a genesis coupe and can say it is a really nice car for the price. But if you can afford a Z I would go for it. The Z has heritage and you can really tell when you drive one.

The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!

Not wanting to be mean or anything, but what do you mean by this?

Ive sat in a Genesis coupe last fall. Nice car less power and comfy. BUT, it just didnt feel like a sports car. More like an upgraded Pontiac G6 coupe. Nice sporty and see em everywhere. With the Z , you feel it. When the tranny just downshifts, when accelerating, when parked. And you dont see Zs everywhere. That I like. As adaily driver the Genesis is probably more suited. But the Z is ina different iconic class. My 3 cents
