I have owned this car for 6 months and is by far a fun car to drive. I change the front and back emblems to the wing emblem and looks fantastic. Great Coupe for the $ Tony S

common problems and 6 year ownership experience

2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Ultimate 2dr Coupe (3.8L 6cyl 8A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful

I’ve owned both a 2010 base 2.0t genesis coupe and now currently a 2016 Ultimate 3.8 v6. My first genesis i had for 5 years from 68,000 miles till ihad issues with oil going through the intercooler as the car reached 110,000 miles. This issue could have been prevented if i had installed an oil catch can (which i highly recommended for all genesis coupes) saving the damage that was done to its motor. other then the oil issue the only other problems i encountered were bad motor mounts and losing ability to use the paddle shifters, everything else was solid! Given the problem of my 2.0t, I decided to sell the car and upgrade to a 2016 ultimate. this unfortunately is the last year of the coupe and was only offered in the 3.8 v6 for both 2015 & 2016. I’ve owned the 3.8 for a year now and 15,000 miles and it’s been amazing, great power, good transmission, wayyy better interior and the brembo breaks are the best. Only issue i’ve encountered is a common problem with fender creaks. i had both my front fenders removed and you will find that some spot welds weren’t fully filled in and once I had an exhaust shop fix them for me for $50 the creak was gone! If you’re shopping for a genesis, i recommend you’re okay with having no rear passengers unless their children due to the sloping roof line, you’re okay with the 16mpg and premium gas prices, and road noise past 75 mph. Other then that i’ve loved everything about the car hence why I bought another one.

Very very good

2014 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful

Overall nearly perfect for a sports car. I own the r-spec which means handles amazing but rides poorly. Back seat is hard to use even for groceries so i don't. Trunk is small but seats do fold down if necessary. Acceleration is very good once u hit 3000 rpms. It has a 6 speed that takes practice to master but works well. Seats are perfect including leather. All gauges and buttons excellent. Radio is disappointing for a 29k car. MPG is excellent; driving 75 gets u 27! Insurance and tires are too expensive but it's a true sports car. Understated but excellent looks.

Amazing Car

2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 2dr Coupe (3.8L 6cyl 8A)
6 of 8 people found this review helpful

first off this website has a few things wrong with what the car exactly has. i have the base model but with duel tone seat and i had it checked out and i do have a limited rear slip differential, audio and cursie controls on the steering wheel and a few other things. I had the 2.0T before i got the 3.8 and as soon as i drove the 3.8 i could notice an extreme difference in the response and in the gear shifting. The actual gears ride to higher speeds while in the 2.0t the first and second is basically never to be driven in because it just doesn't reach high enough speeds to be practical while the 3.8 first and especially in second. and i know they fuel mpg is average around 18 but i drive in cruise control and i get around 22mpg. As well as it is a very safe car while i had the 2.0t someone going 65 in a 35 hit the front bumper and everyone in the car was completely un hurt and fine. Overall the 3.8 is a much better then the 2.0T and a very safe and practical car

The decision for me came down to a used FR-S, Mini or Gencoupe. I chose a 22k miles Gencoupe for a lot of reasons. The head-turning styling, fantastic performance and interior trim all set the Gencoupe apart. The FR-S, with less HP and MUCH less torque, it looks great in the rear view mirror as you blow them away. Plus the Gencoupe has much more rear seat room for my kids. The Mini was the handling choice but lacks power. I love the wastegate chatter (I want to hear my turbo work!) but the turbo overall is not loud enough. The 6 speed tranny is fantastic- tight and precise, it's taken some time for me to learn to heel n toe with it (that's made a big difference in smoothness).
