About anything sporty, really. I thought the ride was pretty cushy compared to an S2000 or STi or even the older 350 Z's, or the newer Mustang GT's (mainly the rear). A little stiff, that's to be expected, but not especially harsh or anything. It passed the "wife test" no problem, she would ride in it about anywhere, but she hated my STi.

My God you'd think Genesis is like driving a full size Caddy!! Lol
Probably, LOL. Like I say I didn't think the Z ride was harsh at all for a sports car... Pretty cush, really. I like things pretty raw, though, that's the appeal of the BRZ to me.

I agree with this 100%.

If I was shopping for a G37 and got in the Genisis 3.8 that would be all she wrote.
Screw the overpriced Infinity crap, they are not even remotely close to being worth what they cost. (and yes I have driven a G37)
Its shameful to even be able to compare the Genisis interior to the G37 since the Infinity is supposed to be "luxury".

Out of all the so called "luxury" brands Infinity pisses me off the most with Lincoln running a close second. These two really should not be allowed to call themselves "luxury" or "near-luxury".

Gen coupes are for people who use moisturizing products.

I use moisturizing products!

Usually when I'm watching cinemax at midnight, accompanied by a box of kleenex.

Damn...tahdizzle beat me to it.

They are nice rides. My best friend has a 2.0t and I love it. It's just not as precise as I'd like is all. I haven't driven the 3.8, but it seems even more club than scalpel. What ultimately made you go with the 3.8 over the Toyobaruion, Twin4Life?

Just tit for tat...

Overall...ride quality, amenities and power. Z was too rough, NO tech for the price I paid but it was quick!! 86's, while crazy fun, would have been worse than the Z for me. In the long run. For a DD. Maybe if i can convince the wife for a Sebring track toy....hmmm.
