2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T Premium 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5A)
it is a fun little car for the price has a few glitches especially the rev hang. sound good with a exhaust I have a tsudo on mine sounds deep and great. gas mileage around town 26.2 hwy 33.1 but can go lower if driving aggressive. love the looks. the transmission on the manual could have a little better feel but a aftermarket bushing replacement helps take it out. a computer flash helps … with the rev hang but does not eliminate it. the infinity sound system sounds great for a factory radio and sub. the later models got a increase in power but I don't like the front fascia and fake hood vents. people down Hyundai but to each is their own I for one enjoy the vehicle and like to have something that I don't see every day. it is a cheap entry vehicle with potential you have btr who created a 4 banger that pushes 850whp so that goes for those who want to tune. I have a Subaru for my winter driving and have muscle cars for my other vehicles and yet I still get a smile on my face driving the Hyundai especially when I hit 3000rpm and that turbo hits in hard.
Not all what I expected

2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T Premium 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5A)
December of 2019 I bought a Hyundai Genesis coupe with approximately 73 thousand miles on the vehicle I was apprehensive about purchasing the vehicle however it was my dream car I’ve had a little trouble with the vehicle because the window stop working then in June 2020 the vehicle stalled in traffic and literally almost caught on fire since then I cannot get the vehicle to start I towed … the car home 180 dollars then had to tow it to a shop that was literally one mile if even from my home and had to pay over 100 dollars to do that for them to tell me 30 minutes to call me and say that I need a whole new engine that it was locked to my surprise I’m extremely saddened by this and has been with out a car since then. My dream car is now a nightmare.
I LOVE my new Genesis Coupe!

This car is beautiful.
One guy even asked me if it was a Jag.
I just laughed, because not only is my car as pretty as a Jag, it cost a whole lot less!
I traded my Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT convertible, and while the Genesis isn't quite as comfortable or feels as substantial, it was an excellent choice.
The 4-cylinder is surprisingly responsive and really quick if I floor it.
That … being said, it's still a 4-cylinder and doesn't have that nice little rumble that a larger engine does.
However, I am overwhelmingly happy with this car.
Did I mention it is BEAUTIFUL??
;-D
Not worth it!

I've owned this car for about a year and a half and it's already had so many problems! :/ when it is too cold out, my navigation screen doesn't work & Bluetooth so I am stuck listening to the radio. I get on average 16 mpg and it costs about $45 a full tank which lasts a week. I drive 10 miles a day too and from work. The interior looks cheap, same as older models only thing different is … the push to start in this year. Passenger seat is very low, cannot see the road. Would not reccommend anyone taller than 5'0 to sit in the back. Seats are VERY uncomfortable. DO NOT TRAVEL IN THIS CAR!!!! If you do at least you'll get 25+ mpg :) If I had a choice now I would definitely trade it in. Fun to drive occasionally but I feel like I'm just wasting my money.
