dan those wheels look great.

who did i see in a black evo on 22 heading past #1 cochran hyuandai today around 330ish? black evo with a red sticker near the exhaust on the rear bumper. dave and i were out trying to score a test drive in a genesis coupe. eventually we succeeded.

had to roll all the way out to the north hills at wright because the salesmen at cochran were dismissive at best. got to drive a 2.0t with the flappy paddles (not manuals on the lot). not bad. the car certainly exceeded my expectations. it's no evo, but it would be a fun little car to cruise.

while we were up in the area we had a WEXFORD SONIC MEET!! it was super awesome.

So yeah we went and checked out one of those Genesis Coupes. As much as I hate to admit it that's a real nice package if a bit of a pig, weighing in more then an 06 EVO MR. The four cylinder looks real easy to modify too.

so here is my breakdown of the genesis coupe test drive.

2.0t with flappy paddles. regular edition, priced around 23.5ish.

the exterior plastic on the car, grill & rear diffuser & fog light surrounds, is a bit cheap. it's thin and looks like it will fade fast. the interior is pretty nice though. the leather seats looks great, the cloth ones aren't too bad either. the build quality of the interior pieces is much better than i expected and the styling of the dash is actually quite nice.

i'm not a fan of the paddles. in drive mode it basically functions like a regular automatic. you can just wind out the gear and it will shift, or you can choose the shift point. this makes me wonder if you would have to fight with gear changes on the track. for my money i will always take a manual though. talking to the salesman he said the v6 with stick is geared very poorly and makes the car feel like a dog, he had yet to drive a manual 4 cyl though.

the acceleration was good. even for the small 4cyl with 3 adults in the car and the A/C blasting. it definitely scoots. obviously it's not blistering, but it is brisk and i'm sure would be very fun with some add ons.

the steering was better than i expected. the wheel has a heavy feel and is fairly direct. i think it could benefit from a steering ratio more like evo's, but it's not that far off. much better than i expected.

the brakes were nice as well. unfortunately they didn't have any 4cyls with the brembos on the lot, but even the regular brakes have a reasonably bite with a solid feel.

the suspension feels good. i had expected the car to feel a bit numb and possibly even vague, but it was actually rather lively and provided good feedback. the rear suspension is not a coil over shock design, rather the shock sits on the outside of the LCA with the spring on the inside. the rear is independent though.

the engine bay with the 4cyl has LOADS of room. turbo and exhaust are all immediately accessible right from the top. no need to pull any radiators or I/C piping to remove a turbo or a down pipe.

the intercooler is small. to get a larger front mount in there may be tricky due to the space and shape of the front bumper. in front of the FMIC is a small radiator unit that is either an oil or transmission cooler.

car comes with bridgestone re050a tires on it. i think it would benefit greatly from stickier tires and a stiffer suspension, but for stock it wasn't bad by any measure.

driving position is comfortable, view out of the rear is a bit restricted so it would be a large blind spot to watch. rear head room is acceptable although it would be tight in the head and legs for taller people, which is expected in a 2+2.

over all the car really exceeded all my expectations. after driving it i don't think i would ever trade my evo in for one, but for the price it's an excellent car. if anyone is thinking of buying one i would suggest checking out Wright Hyundai in Wexford, ask for Bob. younger guy, he was very accommodating and honest about his opinions on the car. that was much appreciated because the salesmen at #1 cochran were down right dude.

at cochran one guy came out, asked if i had any questions, so as i was crawling all over the car i started asking him questions and halfway through he just walked off and never came back. that kind of treatment pisses me off. i always say that i shop dealerships more than cars.
