In a dilemma (Z vs 2013 Genesis)

RiCharlie · 03-06-2012, 07:54 AM

For what its worth I drove the Genesis Coupe before I bought the Z. In fact the dealer let me have it all day and overnight..,quite generous of him..

The ride was awful except for the highways, so generally it was not pleasant to drive.

The damn thing absolutely would not rev below 4500 at 45 mph, and when I applied the brakes it shuddered and pulled to one side. The dealer said something about the brakes not being properly "ground"...And the transmission was obviously screwed up...but still, fair or not, this tells me something about the quality of the vehicle..

I know its unfair to judge by one experience but I get the feeling that the difference between Nissan and Hyundai is like the difference between a cheap suit and a good one..Both look fine at first but as you wear it, gradually the quality shows..

Nissan is a quality name with a solid history and the Z is a big part of that history. Why take a chance on a company that has a reputation of building cheap cars?
