this is super good car you ssss

too heavy? really guys have you looked at any of the other cars in this segment?? Gen coupe 3.8GT: 3430lbs BMW 335i: 3560lbs Inifiniti G37: 3633lbs Audi A5: 3583lbs Acura TL (base): 3726lbs Ford Mustang: 3453lbs Chevrolet Camaro: 3780lbs i'm not able to find a lighter car in its class... shouldn't you be bragging that this car is light?

"heavy" but it's the second lightest v6 coupe in the segment with only the 370z being lighter

Dumb....... Of course it is gonna take more time to accelerate to 60 mph since it is carrying an extra 250 pounds passenger on it; without mentioning the 300 pounds driver. Try it with a 150 pounds dude and see the difference (400 pounds less in weight) you may be surprised?

I don't want a sports car that is made to hold adults in the back seats. This isn't meant for back seat people.

I'm 5'11" 235lb muscular and I don't have ANY problem fitting into the car...

I'm 6'1...and I fit perfectly.

i'm 7'4 and i fit just fine

I currently have one 3.8 grand touring. I have been shopping since it's now 3 years old I went to BMW, Audi, Lexus and so on, I decided to keep my genesis while longer. It's just a beautiful nice and a great performing car. It's just the best. I think the design is just astonishing

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a brand new r spec 3.8, what are the SEATS like, fairly comfortable? And would you take this car on a good long road trip, bumpy ride or not bad? Thanks!!

@Imleocalm

"SEATS" are Cloth. Comfortable as long as your not overly obese. I've taken mine on many long journeys 150-350 miles. The ride is what you should expect from the caliber of car it is with non-adjustable suspension yet it's compliant.. It's NOT jarring.

I got about 5.2 seconds 0 to 60 in my 15 genesis 3.8 I guess that is "slow"....smh....

I mean if you get a sports car why would you want to fit people in the back?

You can't measure the 0-60 if you have a shitty launch lmao

Absolute crap review. The opinion reflects step mother treatment to Hyundai. In any case, nobody is bothered about rear seats. Does German Brands offer good rear space? Review based on negative mindset. I believe some people can't digest the fact that Hyundai now produces decent vehicles at affordable prices.... And please remember the warranty Hyundai offers.... By the way I own Hyundai Santa Fe and BMW 320i. Peace of mind when it comes service and maintenance costs. Even if some cars manage 1 sec faster than Hyundai, that doesn't make them great and not worth paying additional 20K or more.... Hyundai is not perfect but not bad either.....

Motortrend got it 0-60 in 5.2, yes I know they arnt 1 mile about sea Level but I promise 5,000 feet isn't gonna take 2.3 seconds off the time.

Motorweek, known for thier slower 0-60 times also got 5.2. I bet the 8 speed auto does it even faster. Say, around 5.0

Love the fact that you guys looked at the back seat and kinda reviewd that too. Great review guys.

I test drove a 2.0T Premium in Platinum Silver Metallic and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to drive on both the street and the interstate. In the automatic the paddles can be used to override the computer without the shifter being in sport mode. The paddles do add a good measure of convenience when you can't be bothered to shift using the lever. The engine has plenty of low-end stomp for merging and passing, unlike the FR-S. And with eight gears to play with, the extra measure of control from the paddles will rarely go to waste on a deserted, twisty stretch of road

im 6'3" and i fit perfectly fine in mine, i love this car!

I was looking at buying one of these but I’m 6’4”. Any owners out there that can tell me if I’m going to be riding with my head mashed against the ceiling?

a second thing the 2010 coupe with a 4 banger turbo with only 210hp will do 0-60 in 6.8 seconds , Personally i can shave a couple tenths off by launching. how in the fuck do they manage a 7

how is the a 3.8 rspec if it has no badge on the back, no red brembo brakes and no red interior?

I love the way you battle in opinions. Its real, and that makes for a great review. There's good and bad for me in it too. Its a car that I'd love to death if someone else bought it but unlikely I'd consider buying one myself.

Roman, Nathan or Dave, When you have an opportunity how about doing a review on the Genesis sedan 5.0 E Spec? Would love see what you guys think of it. Thanks.

yeah I'm aware of that. and even slower if you're incline doing the test. but the forester have turbo which won't hurt the 0-60 time even though at high altitude.

I'm 6'2" 240lbs and went to a Hyundai dealer sat in one. It felt great. I wasn't cramped and feel as though I could have taken a long trip in the Genesis Coupe

I took a 3000-mile trip from Louisiana to California in it. No problems!

what does sea level have to do with 0-60?

I have a simple question this or a 350z

Can you guys do a review on 2012 Mazdaspeed3 id really like to know what you guys think of it. Thanks for another awesome review love the good cop and bad cop routine :)

So 1/5 of this video was spent on displaying that a performance coupe has a small back seat. What, no 2-minute segment on what rear-wheel drive means?

The problem I have with the Genesis coupes isn't the weight. It has great power but not much usable power. The torque kicks in at like 5000+ rpms and thats just not that daily drive material.

Would you pay 40k for a nose heavy coupe that would still get smashed by the Solid rear axle 30k Mustang Gt?

Where do I get one of those Datsun tees Nathan has!

Roman cant drive comparing him to Carlos Lago... And you guys always say that its big and heavy but it weigh like the evo x

Can you guys please mashup the honda crv,ford escape,mazda cx5,toyota rav4 etc togather

No reason to apologize, we're happy to have you aboard! And you're right about the drifting: I'm miserable at drifting unless I have AWD... on dirt. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

are those coupe #s?

Hey Roman, i wonder why you didn't mention about dodge challenger R/T when comparing Genesis with other cars? Coz challenger got room, trunk space, power and looks. Everything thats missing in genesis. And it starts at 30k.

@xsiickuniique auto... You can see paddle shifters in some shots and the actual auto shift knob at 4:08ish when they try the back seats

The dude says his problem is "what is the car" as in "who is it for" but if you go to the Hyundai site they have more options for ordering this car for what YOU want it to be. It comes with a 4 cylinder 274hp turbo motor or a 350hp v6, that really is amazing in comparison with the hp rate of its competitors and the fact that you can buy a Genesis Coupe to compete in whatever you want as long as you can get over the Hyundai name. It can do what a BRZ does or a Mustang you just have to order it.

He doesn’t fit in that? I’m 6’2 and have head room for days

i like the concept that one of you guys like it and one of you guys don't. it really helps me see the highs and lows of this car. thank you

Entertaining review. I have a 2011 3.8 Track edition and it's been a fantastic car. Even still, too heavy...no question about it. I've made a few suspension tweaks and some basic bolt on performance mods and she does well enough at Deal's Gap. However, once the FRS/BRZ gets more power, I'm jumping ship unless Hyundai counters with something as lightweight and nimble.

@Selrisitai

I think the 38 additional horsepower helps with the revised edition.

yes I agreel, if your looking for backseat space then your not looking for the genesis coupe, its a different market all together but don't take points away for it

You should check out their review on the 2013 3 series bmw vs the lexus es350. Great comparison

The most precise measurement of acceleration I have ever seen :D:D

I think the 2.0T would do very well up here. Hyundai is painfully slow at allocating cars, so it may be a while before we can test one. Thanks for watching!

No problem! Gotta keep you on your toes with the tees. Don't want to sport yesterdays news, I got your back. Cheers!

We're fans of the FRS and we're testing a BRZ very soon!

Yes, I bet you did. We test our cars at over a mile up - as we said in the video. This decreases horsepower - as we say in all of our videos. That in turn slows these cars down, as we have been saying in all... I'm sure you get the point. Thanks for watching!

My 2015 3.8 genesis coupe auto did 0-60 in 4.8sec STOCK!💯 (sea level). The 2014-2016 3.8 autos come with lock up torque converters which helps shave off up to 2/10ths of a second off your 0-60 and quarter mile time. Too bad the 2013 doesn't have it.

And this is the “Base model” .. why wouldn’t you review The “Track” or “R-spec.

Why did the tall guy try to fit in the back of a coupe?

My 13 genesis 2.0t is now reaching 6000k had the car for 4 months now, No issues other than my mpg indicator, it doesnt accurately read my miles. But other than that the car is just fine. Roman is just hating with his lame commentary how is it a problem not figuring what type of car is this?

there isnt a v8 model coupe there is only 2.0t and the v6 model

Absolutely right my friend, i was just suggesting dodge challenger coz it belongs to same segment being a coupe but not being a GT. Definitely agree to your point there.

We'll try. We just found out that we're finally getting a CR-V in a few weeks. Stay tuned!

Yeah car is a little heavy but give hyundai a gawd damn break, the 3.8's main competitors (IMO) are the G37,335 bmw, lexus Is 350 and C350 coupe,definitely not muscle. They all weigh an extra 100-160 pounds they all have relatively same numbers in terms hp and Tq. And are RWD.

If you consider that theres 2 guys that weigh 200+ lbs in it, the 0-60 time of 7.5 seconds seems more and more likely.

I'm 6'3 and fit in mine fine with the seat all the way back.

Dont think hes a big fan of Gennys. But IMO they are great. Great performance for the value. If youre a car enthusiast and dont really have grands to spend then this is a good fit. Fast reliable and easily modded for the tuners out there. I thoroughly enjoy my 13 3.8 gt genesis coupe. And dont get me wrong 370s and 350s are beautiful cars but at the price that they are the outputs are almost the same stock. Its about preference i guess. Dont hate till you drive it CORRECTLY. The torque on the genny is fun and the speed that it gains is furious. I dont regret a thing, people always are giving compliments and giving the thumbs up!

Agreed, excellent value for the money. I originally wanted a 350/370 but there is even less room in that and NO backseat. That was a dealbreaker for me. I have used the backseat for storage and even people when necessary. I wouldn't recommend putting people back there for a road trip, but it is there if you need it. The FRS/BRZ felt underpowered after driving the Genesis Coupe 3.8. The 350/370 are too impractical as an only car, and are still heavier cars. The Camaro/Mustang are a dime a dozen and also as heavy as the Genesis Coupe with less displacement and less horsepower. Luxury brands are too expensive if you want something newer. This car fit the bill perfectly, not to mention one of the best warranties in the business. I thoroughly enjoy my 2015 3.8

what is roman talking about? i'm 6'7'' and i fit in this car fine...

Props on the shirt, Nathan.

Alas, we are both cursed with the Bigfoot syndrome. The issue I often have is the space in the foot-well area and the spacing of the pedals. American and European coupes seem to work best for me. If I’m testing a Japanese or Korean car, I usually wear skinny shows, like my Vans. Big boots can often touch more than one pedal in small cars. Some of the most comfortable cars for me to drive for my feet and knees are MINIs and the Volvo C30. Despite the small size, I am comfortable behind the wheel.

yup Torsen lsd in the rear. Don't know why they were dissing on the car, well at least the tall person was. From what I've heard this gen is waaay better than the previous ones.

why so heavy?

I agree that this car is big and heavy. Most of canyon runners I have seen are driving Miata, BRZ, S2000, Civic Si, 370z etc. It is hard to find anyone use this car to attack canyon road.

Roman bikes. Are you aware that when a vehicle is over a mile above sea level, as we said in this video... as we say in EVERY video; power loss can cost the vehicle up to 30% of its horsepower?

I'm 6'2" and I fit excellent! Big and heavy? Lighter than the competition.

I supposed, Roman, porsche 911 is a crap car cause your too big for it. Who rates a sports car for the size of the back seats? You should go back to your day job... I guess according to you a Jetta is a better sports car then a Ferrari California because it has more leg room in the back. Pffffffff....

sorry for my previous comment, i didn't mean to say your not professionals but i was pissed out of roman because he made fun of the car a lot, i really love your videos and your drifting, sorry again

Roman I love your videos but I strongly disagree with the height thing im 6.3ft and I fit fine

I'm 6'4" and I also have a problem fitting in this car. I think it's because of the moon roof. I have no head room. I fit better in my 94 firebird. And my Mazdaspeed3 is great for tall people.

i hate how reviewers try to exploit the small backseat room when it's a coupe, the back seats aren't really supposed to be used in a sports car

345 hp from a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder engine. Well done Hyundai thats Porsche territory . This company has done so well specially the last 5 years or so .

not that bad but just kinda boring to me is all. i really wouldnt buy one either... for the price of the 3.8 track i could get a 5.0 mustang premium. might as well get 420 hp and 26mpg right?

i think he means no room in a back seat for a 6 footer. I'm 6'4'' and i fit perfect in my friends 2013 geni coupe(front seats) the back seat I'm basically sideways haha

I sat ina mustang and it feels so cheap inside. kind of made me sitting in one of those regular rental cars. genesis GT is so luxurious, you will be amazed

The tall guy was looking for everything wrong lol

Yes, you can’t go wrong with a Honda Civic or Accord. I know what it’s like to have limited resources - I recommend used Acuras too. You’ll find they don’t hold their value like Hondas do despite the fact they are the same bones. Toyota is good too - but some of their rides are boring. Mazda (the Protégé and MX6) are pretty good too. Best of luck, and keep us in the loop!

Maybe... but at 8:07 and the beginning of the video, I do smoky burnouts/donuts in a closed-off parking lot.May have passed gas at 4:11 too. Thanks for watching!

Nathan and Roman, do you want to test a 2 door coupe that have plenty of room on the back seats??? Try the Dodge Challenger SRT8, its a great car with rear seat room for adults!!! The domestic cars industry can do it way better than the imports... You both won't be disappointed!!!

Looks like you probably reversed the numbers here. 3.8 Rspec is about 30k and well built mustang gt is about 37+k

I'm 6'4 and I fit fine

We would happily do it - the moment Hyundai loans us one. It's a slow process and they have an aversion to the Rockies. We'll do our best and thanks for watching!

These guys have no clue what they are talking about this car is fabulous.

before me buying the genesis, i had the same plans to check out 370z and mustang.

My two favorite things!

i agree with roman. The car is furious but not fast. I mean its fast.....but it lacks low end torque that lets say the VQ engines provide. atleast IMO

lol you have some cars that aren't even in the same class, but anyways the subaru brz is around 2750lbs, one you forgot that is by far the lightest in its class

My thoughts exactly!!

did they just say it ways as much as a pick up truck?

It hurt me to see the bottom of his boot touch the back of the driver's seat ._.

Well, their timing methods aren't exactly the most state of the art, and the fact that they are a mile above sea level does justify a 7.5 second 0-60 more.

getting in and out of the genesis coupe is sorta like getting out of the last gen Vw Beetle. First time I got inside, I thought hey this isn't bad... until someone closed the hatch on my head.... OWWIE

you are right!
