The Genesis blows, honestly... I would rather have a 350z or 370z if I were to get that type of car, but I don't really want one of those either.

Light cars = better handling and more fun!

Thought I'd chime in since I drive an FRS and my roomate drives a 3.8 v6 2014 Genesis Coupe GT (not track). His car is fast, no question about it but certain things throw me off.
1. The door handles on the Genesis feel flimsy.
2. Constant rattles that are probably unfixable (my friend is a rattle finatic). I've managed to fix all the rattles in my FR-S
3. Heaviness and high center of gravity is an issue for me. In the FR-S I can take turns at almost any speeds and feel comfortable approaching the limits with limited body roll. I don't think I can say the same about the gen coupe.
4. My friend drives like an asshole but he gets about 12-14mpg city. I drive a bit more conservative than him but still pushes my car hard daily and I get about 24.
5. The trunk woofer in the Genesis is a POS. It rattles like a mofo.
6. Hyundai Bluelink is cool in theory but absolutely useless for 99% of people.
7. Their forum is the most inactive forum I've ever seen (gencoupe.com/usa). As a result finding info on how to mod the car or even things to buy is difficult or nonexistant.
8. Steering is decent but not really on the same level.

Overall I feel like the genesis coupe is a subpar g35/g37 coupe. Material quality is meh (though better than ours) and things feel kinda flimsy.
