Used 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Consumer Reviews

Gen coupe Number 2

Only Hyundai will give you a fair trade in value for your car. I have enjoyed both coupes I've owned. A 2010 and a 2013. Still have the car and wish they would produce a new coupe.

Lots of fun ... Punchy and ba**sy

Defective Car-Hyundai refuses to Fix

I bought a brand new 2013 Hyundai Genesis coupe 6 speed, when I pressed the clutch the car makes horrible clanking and rattle noises. I took the car back and they told me that normal. I then switched the car for a different one and that car makes the same horrible noise. THe master mechanic at Hyundai states lots of people have complained but hyundai says they do not recognize this as a problem. I hate this car with a passion, it sound like your driving a 1980 sports car that rattles and clanks. DOnt waste you money the car is a piece of crap.

Genesis 2.0T Premium, affordable little sports car

UPDATE After 5 years of ownership: At 161,000 km's generally routine maintenance plus minor repairs required. UPDATE After 4 years of ownership: At 145,000 km's only routine maintenance required. After 3 years of ownership: At 130,000 km's minor issues only but annoying. Battery harness collar cracked and it took ages to have the replacement ordered. After that just routine maintenance. Still looks good, performance and handling are the same, fun car to drive. After 1 year of ownership: AT 105,000 KILOMETERS (just over 60K miles) THE ENGINE SEIZED WHILE DOWNSHIFTING (automatic transmission) REQUIRING A COMPLETE REBUILD costing over $11,000 Canadian (USD 8,700). It appears the crank rod bearings failed. Near identical issue with two other friends cars. Review on Purchase: Genesis 2.0T is an affordable entry level sports car, especially used, delivering good value. The other cars I looked at and took for test drives were the BRZ/FRS/86's but I couldn't get over the lack of HP (decent little track cars but the pickup was a showstopper). The turbo has some lag but if you control the revs, manually or through sport mode and paddle shifters with the automatic tranny, its very responsive at lower revs. It definitely has some go to it. The tracking is good. The steering feel is a bit soft in the middle and numb but it turns in well and corners consistently. The suspension is marginal and you should factor in the cost of a decent set of coilovers (I added Bilstein). Road noise isn't great. The cockpit is roomier than competitors (BRZ, FRS/86), gauges and layout are fine, and you can fit someone short in the backseat but the headroom can be lacking. The touch screen is frustrating for a 2014 model as it can be unresponsive and the buttons work better. The aftermarket for parts is not as broad and deep as other brands but intermediate enthusiasts can likely find what they're looking for but you might incur significant shipping costs as there is nothing in stock locally for me (I added a Seibon carbon fiber hood and diffuser plus a basic catback). It surprisingly gets a lot of looks and questions from others that don't recognize the brand (pretty near every owner de-badges Hyundai emblems for Genesis). All that said, it combines an element of good looks, decent interior, horsepower, reasonable handling and is fun to drive.

Fast fun on wheels

Really nice design and features. Scary fast and drives like she is on rails. Love this car.
