I think you'll find it very fun to drive if you haven't already. I've never driven it with more than 1 other person. Driving with my dad isn't too fun as I can't as you said do anything 'interesting.'
The car has tons of power and accelerates beautifully. I came from a Eclipse to Genesis 2.0t then the V6 and each step has been leaps and bounds above the previous.
The turbo has great acceleration and performs wonderfully 0-60 but after that it tapers off. The new 2013 might fix this with its big boost in power.
However, the v6 is always ready to perform.
Just tonight some jackass peeled out next to me in an old eclipse. Caught up to him in no time, rode on his side then hit the gas an accelerated as if I was going 20 MPH.
That's been my favorite thing about this car, even when going 60+ it still surprises you by accelerating fast under high speeds. It really doesn't hold anything back and doesn't feel 'slow' accelerating under high speeds like the 2.0T did for me.
