It rides well, my friends FSPORT that is. Its quick, but $50K its down on power IMO. My genesis walks it. Handles pretty well too. Interior is...so so. Has the red leather seats, not my thing and its the only option on the FSPORT. Tech is ok, no where near what i have though. Its pretty though!! more than I can say for my , ahem, genny. lol.

It does upshift in sport mode automatically.

In super-duper sport-smart mode, the linkage is increased and upshifts in reverse too.

I think my Audi TT does that also but the auto in it sucks compared to the Z. My wife drives a Veloster Turbo with the dual clutch and it also sucks compared to the 370Zs 7AT.

Meh...:tup:, its still a better DD for ME than the Z was. Dont get me wrong, the Z is FANTASTIC at being a true sports car. The Genesis is FANTASTIC at being a Grand Touring machine. I dont pretend its something its not.

And it still hauls *** on the roll, perfect for highway runs and merging.

MT on the Z
Paddle shifter on gf's IS250 f sport

Obviously her car vs Z is not the same, but hey im not complaining :tup:
