2015 Genesis R-spec owner here. I've had mine since new, I daily it, drag raced it in it's stock form a few times and currently, it's at 84k miles. not a single problem out of the car.

350 HP is more than enough for a lot of people

I drive a 2015 3.8 Genesis Coupe (manual), great video, one thing i can tell anyone that is considering one of these things, you’ll get a bunch of looks. People think its some exotic shit and you’ll get a bunch of compliments.

I'm 16 and just worked my way up to a 2011 genesis coupe, and boy I dont regret it

[GenesisCoupeHUB]

The genesis is such an under rated car tbh

[nxhun]

My genesis is by far the best financial mistake I’ve made. Can’t go wrong with the car :)

[MidnightClubStillCancelledSoz]

You can’t go wrong with the Genesis Coupe.

As a 2014(BK2) 3.8 Ultimate (Track version) owner, I can definitely say that these are fun and great looking cars. Here's some tips if you're looking into one.
The 3.8 is faster from factory sure, but the 2.0T is much easier and cheaper to make faster than the 3.8. The 3.8 can definitely make a good 20-40hp gains while staying N/A with full boltons and a proper tune, but to even get close to 400 wheel you'll have to boost it. However both engines can only handle 500bhp on stock block, so beware. Also, tuning companies are very rare, we're down to 2 since BTR stopped tuning gens. One is SFR in PA, and the other is Alphaspeed which does remote tuning. I currently have the Alphaspeed tune with a few boltons.

Also, when you buy your genesis, I recommend buying any of the track models, not only do they come with Brembo brakes from factory, but they also come with an LSD. I know many people who buy the base model say they will get those later on, but very few actually do. Plus if you buy it from factory then your differential is under warranty.

Overall I definitely recommend the car to anyone looking for one. Its fun, fast, I've gapped quite a few VQ's, and with the right exhaust the 3.8 sounds beautiful.

You have to change the Hyundai logo to genesis

As a Hyundai technician and a Hyundai owner, this is one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen

[whiteranger]

Even if you didn't come out with this before I bought one, I'm glad I did. It's a personality car. If it suits you (middle-ground car guy who doesn't feel like competing with other tuners) this is a beautiful car to ride. And if you feel like tuning well damn you can.

Was not expecting this video lol, love my gen wouldn't trade for anything else .

[thebigjaw]

Im surprised we haven't seen a brz/86/frs one yet, still waiting baby

[mattklieber]

Thank you for finally putting out something about the genesis. Proud owner of a 3.8 track!

[thekids]

STi owner here, one of the best races ive had was with a 3.8R! Much respect

[Sahidable]

FINALLY! THANK YOU! ❤️👊🏻

Now, things you DIDN’T mention (not faulting y’all!)
-Transmission is unreliable (with 5th/6th gear grind)
-rear diff mount sucks ass
-3.8’s (the Bk2 GDi motor especially) CAN be boosted, but anything above ~7psi and you’re asking for trouble
-water leaks into the cabin and trunk through the tail lights and sometimes sunroofs on almost ALL of them

[kdrei]

We all know Alex showed those socks to subtle flex the NMDs 🙃🥺

[jermainejpshepherd]

I always looked at the Genesis Coupe as a grown man's sports car. Like he doesn't need all the crazy upgrades to enjoy the car or to have fun driving the car. Sure, he might throw some aftermarket wheels on it or upgrade the interior sound. But he's not looking to go overboard in customs cause he's quite satisfied with how it comes from the factory.

I bought my Genesis and I always look back on



To see how nice it looks parked.
