2009 Hyundai genesis coupe

[ghosthunter]

Hmmmm, would it be possible to up the 2.0T output of 210hp to over 300hp with tuning and maybe some "minor" upgrades like improved (uncrimped) exhaust, piggyback programable ecu and alcohol injection?

That article kinda makes me more excited about the 2.0T than for the 3.8L V6 especially when the basic 2.0T model is "only" P1.4M.

Makes me want to go "hmmmmm, maybe i just might buy me one of those."

this is what i love to hear in this forum hehehe!!!!

I'm sure there will be tuner parts for the 3.8 V6 as well such as superchargers.

There might but it's not as easy nor as wide compared to the potentials for the 2.0T.

And the big engine block of the V6 already has a weight penalty where the 2.0T is lighter.

siguro walang magaatempt na bumili ng 2.0T premium as the 3.6 is just few pesoses away..as for me ive decided ill get the entry, heads will turn pa din naman siguro sa akin

Of course dahil di namang sobrang bare sa labas at sa loob ng Genesis Coupe 2.0 liter Base eh...Yun nalang ang kunin mo,lagyan mo narin ng Brembo brakes at spoiler kung gusto mo(dun mo gastusin yung ibabayad mo sa 3.8 V6)!!

Weight lang talaga ang naging stumbling block ng 3.8 V6 variant kaya lagi syang talo sa mga comparo sa U.S against the likes of new Camaro at very expensive na 370Z(sa Pinas eh dalawang Genesis Coupe nayan!)

currently negotiating for further discounts on 2.0L base GCoupe..di ba sir mavovoid ang warranty kung may idagdag/alisin ako sa kotse lalo na kung bago pa lang siya?kelangan ko ba na antayin muna matapos ang warranty, then only i could do upgrades?

mr salesman in fort hyundai told me it would only apply to parts that were changed/modded: for example, your headlights were changed to a body colour bezelled one, or something like it. next time your lights fail, then wala daw warranty.

that's the ideal case.

imo, if something remotely relating to your electrical system fails, they'd blame that headlight, only because it's the easiest target. that's just how things are.

incidentally, i saw paddle shifters in a gencoupe in alabang; was supposed to be a 2.0 premium, but i'm not sure. it's definitely automatic and it definitely had (tiny) paddle shifters.

hmm, long term use notwithstanding, the legacy interior was anything but cheap -- its so... luxurious.

the gencoupe though... it's pretty meh. thank god the sound system on the non base is pretty good, and at least it has some toys to go with it. at least the impreza's felt bare, but the gencoupe's plastic felt cheap.

thing is, you're not going to be spending your time making himas the dashboard (he he he), as long as the placement of necessary buttons/switches are ergonomic enough, it should be pretty okay. you can't get so much for so little without compromises, and at least the core of this product: the engine, is pretty sound.

The AWD does play a big part at launch. Not much loss of traction if any. You hit the revs and the Legacy will launch and go. No fanfare except things outside in a blur and you pushed back on the seat. If you're the driver, you'll probably have an evil grin on your face.

Add also the curb weight. The Genesis 2.0T isn't that much lighter than the Legacy. I imagine the Genesis has a more luxury feel to it. There's probably a good amount of sound-deadening material used which adds to the weight.

I rented a few Subarus during several travels to Japan (model years 1996-2002). Granted, they were all used. But all of them had rattles and shakes I've never seen with my own old cars (1991 DSM, 1995 Ford Contour/Mondeo, 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan). Subaru may have improved in that department though.

IMHO, you couldn't do anything worse than buy the 2.0.. Get the 3.8 V6 instead, as you're also aware that its only a few thousands away.

Yes this car will turn heads, but there's no snob factor. But you could do away with more HP if you get the 3.8 V6/NA

I would opt for 2.0T, only to hear the turbo whistle.

In the U.S. lots of car enthusiast likes the looks and performance of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

problem here in batangas is we dont have enough roads to test the 3.8 unless pumunta ka sa startollway.. youll barely reach 50kph going to and from point A to B..para naman yatang hinihigop ang fuel ko nun kung naka 3.8 ako..and yes the 3.8 is few hundred thousands away hehe..

[foifoi05]

btw, im wondering bakit yung mga import shops na nagtitinda ng starex wala sila nito? baka mas maganda specs nun diba?

Anybody know about the winged emblem? 1st mod ko is to definately replace them, pwede rin ba to pa-order sa dealer? or aftermarket lang? ung emblem similar to the Genesis sedan. IMO mas bagay ito sa coupe rather than the H eyesore.

Yun ba ung parang "T"?

I agree, even the grill sucks and very cheap to modify. Other than that, it's a bang for the back 2-door. Kahit ung 3.5 pa, since below 2M naman okay na okay.

Just came from the test drive. I really like the Genesis Coupe. The people from Hyundai said all the Genesis A/T (2.0T and 3.8L) now have paddle shifters.

The one I tested had the optional Brembo brakes. The 19 inch wheels look great but it really makes you feel every defect on the road.

Those are nice looking emblems for the coupe. BTW, does the 2.0T A/T come with a rear wing? I really like the genesis coupe without the wing since it looks more like a sports car and it does look a bit sleeker. A sports car less than 2M with the looks and performance of the genesis coupe = Win.

The entry level 2.0T M/T has no spoiler nor sunroof. The one step 2.0T higher M/T and A/T models has both.

All models have Electronic Stability Controls, Electronic Brake force distribution, ABS and traction control system. All models also have LSD.
