2013 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Touring
I purchased my 2013 Genesis Coupe 3.8 in the fall of 2012; the style of the coupe is very attractive as is the interior; power is more than ample; in fact, the torque is so strong that the car spins on gravel all the time and is useless in snow. Road handling is excellent; seats are comfortable and the car is excellent for long distance touring as long as one does not try to drive in snow. Trunk space is adequate for most purposes. The radio reception can be spotty--I live in the mountains and even cell service can be interrupted but was disappointed in the ability of the radio to pick up FM stations; the navigation touch screen is a constant irritant, often failing to respond; actual navigation often is way off the mark; I ended up not using the touch screen very much because it was so "touchy." Other touch switches were difficult to use as well. In spite of these issues, had Hyundai provided awd with the coupe I might have considered getting another one; as it is, I opted for a 2016 Lexus RC 300 F Sport, a car which has less power than the Genesis but which spools up very quickly and is powerful enough to move through traffic quickly; it also has awd; haven't had it long enough to determine how the various options--the model is loaded--work. I had no mechanical problems with the Genesis but did encounter difficulty with the undercarriage cover; the car is so low, it has never met a curb it did not attack; had to replace the undercarriage cover at a cost of over $1,000; there were no front sensors on the car to warn about the curb issue; one should park at least six inches or more from any curb. Visibility to the back is limited due to the coupe styling but if one likes coupes, and I do, then you accept this; back sensors were helpful; no back-up camera on this model. Replaced all four tires at about 26,000 miles--one tends to want to drive this car hard and on mountain roads which are never straight, this takes a toll on tires.
