( www.TFLcar.com ) For 2013 the Hyundai Genesis Coupe is new with a restyled and more sculpted body, a larger engine and an 8 speed automatic transmission. We recently had the chance to spend a week with the 3.8 Grand Touring model to check out the changes that Hyundai made to this sporty GT. In this drive and review Nathan and Roman have very different opinions about the new Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Check it out as the boys completely disagree.

Roman drank an 8oz glass of Haterade before he did this review. This is a really good car for the money.

@jangelopabunan93 8 лет назад

Roman is just a piece of shit when it comes to reviewing anything that isnt german. He talks mad shit about Infinitis and other Japanese brands as well.

@edmondotripodi7823 5 лет назад

this is super good car you ssss

@matteo88 12 лет назад

too heavy? really guys have you looked at any of the other cars in this segment?? Gen coupe 3.8GT: 3430lbs BMW 335i: 3560lbs Inifiniti G37: 3633lbs Audi A5: 3583lbs Acura TL (base): 3726lbs Ford Mustang: 3453lbs Chevrolet Camaro: 3780lbs i'm not able to find a lighter car in its class... shouldn't you be bragging that this car is light?

@adamszuszkiewicz1709 8 лет назад

"heavy" but it's the second lightest v6 coupe in the segment with only the 370z being lighter

@dasgomezkanal 10 лет назад

Dumb....... Of course it is gonna take more time to accelerate to 60 mph since it is carrying an extra 250 pounds passenger on it; without mentioning the 300 pounds driver. Try it with a 150 pounds dude and see the difference (400 pounds less in weight) you may be surprised?

@TheSpritz0 10 лет назад

I'm 5'11" 235lb muscular and I don't have ANY problem fitting into the car...

@TWHISPERER 8 лет назад

I don't want a sports car that is made to hold adults in the back seats. This isn't meant for back seat people.

@380gc2 9 лет назад

I'm 6'1...and I fit perfectly.

@MR94JOKER 8 лет назад

i'm 7'4 and i fit just fine

@80s_Boombox_Collector 4 года назад

I currently have one 3.8 grand touring. I have been shopping since it's now 3 years old I went to BMW, Audi, Lexus and so on, I decided to keep my genesis while longer. It's just a beautiful nice and a great performing car. It's just the best. I think the design is just astonishing

@Imleocalm 8 лет назад

They have made great improvements to the newest model. I'm going to get a second one in manual. I have the track, and now I'll add the '16 Ultimate in manual.

@michaeljames3719 8 лет назад

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a brand new r spec 3.8, what are the SEATS like, fairly comfortable? And would you take this car on a good long road trip, bumpy ride or not bad? Thanks!!

@Imleocalm 8 лет назад

"SEATS" are Cloth. Comfortable as long as your not overly obese. I've taken mine on many long journeys 150-350 miles. The ride is what you should expect from the caliber of car it is with non-adjustable suspension yet it's compliant.. It's NOT jarring.

@mmastar14 10 лет назад

Im 6 feet tall 185 pounds and i fit in my 2010 genny just fine

@DavidReyes0224 5 лет назад

Yeah idk what hes talking about 😂😂 i dont own one but ive driven a few and ive always fit perfectly fine

@80s_Boombox_Collector 4 года назад

But try being taller than 6' and using the rearview mirror.

@Mustangkid29 4 года назад

I’m 6’2 and have a 2015 and everything is fine including the rear view mirror. I don’t have a sunroof so with the seat low I have probably 6 inches + of headroom

@chrisriker8186 8 лет назад

You can't measure the 0-60 if you have a shitty launch lmao

@blizzard181992 10 лет назад

im 6'3" and i fit perfectly fine in mine, i love this car!

@simple198116 9 лет назад

Absolute crap review. The opinion reflects step mother treatment to Hyundai. In any case, nobody is bothered about rear seats. Does German Brands offer good rear space? Review based on negative mindset. I believe some people can't digest the fact that Hyundai now produces decent vehicles at affordable prices.... And please remember the warranty Hyundai offers.... By the way I own Hyundai Santa Fe and BMW 320i. Peace of mind when it comes service and maintenance costs. Even if some cars manage 1 sec faster than Hyundai, that doesn't make them great and not worth paying additional 20K or more.... Hyundai is not perfect but not bad either.....

@777Edub 8 лет назад

I got about 5.2 seconds 0 to 60 in my 15 genesis 3.8 I guess that is "slow"....smh....

@pontiacGXPfan 10 лет назад

I test drove a 2.0T Premium in Platinum Silver Metallic and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to drive on both the street and the interstate. In the automatic the paddles can be used to override the computer without the shifter being in sport mode. The paddles do add a good measure of convenience when you can't be bothered to shift using the lever. The engine has plenty of low-end stomp for merging and passing, unlike the FR-S. And with eight gears to play with, the extra measure of control from the paddles will rarely go to waste on a deserted, twisty stretch of road

@Killjoy0329 8 лет назад

I mean if you get a sports car why would you want to fit people in the back?

@thevalleysjc 8 лет назад

No one that is a adult can fit in any sportscar backseat,tried in my camaro and no fucking way

@Killjoy0329 8 лет назад

+Rodriguez123 Rodriguez yeah sports car fitting 2 people are just fine

@aileronlb426 12 лет назад

I'm 6'2" 240lbs and went to a Hyundai dealer sat in one. It felt great. I wasn't cramped and feel as though I could have taken a long trip in the Genesis Coupe

@Selrisitai 9 месяцев назад

I took a 3000-mile trip from Louisiana to California in it. No problems!

@TrashPanda2801 9 лет назад

Motortrend got it 0-60 in 5.2, yes I know they arnt 1 mile about sea Level but I promise 5,000 feet isn't gonna take 2.3 seconds off the time.

@CeeStyleDj 8 лет назад

Motorweek, known for thier slower 0-60 times also got 5.2. I bet the 8 speed auto does it even faster. Say, around 5.0

@Rejectcase666 10 лет назад

Love the fact that you guys looked at the back seat and kinda reviewd that too. Great review guys.

@mmastar14 10 лет назад

a second thing the 2010 coupe with a 4 banger turbo with only 210hp will do 0-60 in 6.8 seconds , Personally i can shave a couple tenths off by launching. how in the fuck do they manage a 7

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

No reason to apologize, we're happy to have you aboard! And you're right about the drifting: I'm miserable at drifting unless I have AWD... on dirt. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

@tbok75 12 лет назад

I love the way you battle in opinions. Its real, and that makes for a great review. There's good and bad for me in it too. Its a car that I'd love to death if someone else bought it but unlikely I'd consider buying one myself.

@tojvan 12 лет назад

Can you guys do a review on 2012 Mazdaspeed3 id really like to know what you guys think of it. Thanks for another awesome review love the good cop and bad cop routine :)

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

Yes, I bet you did. We test our cars at over a mile up - as we said in the video. This decreases horsepower - as we say in all of our videos. That in turn slows these cars down, as we have been saying in all... I'm sure you get the point. Thanks for watching!

@GerryStilton 12 лет назад

Roman, Nathan or Dave, When you have an opportunity how about doing a review on the Genesis sedan 5.0 E Spec? Would love see what you guys think of it. Thanks.

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

We're fans of the FRS and we're testing a BRZ very soon!

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

I think the 2.0T would do very well up here. Hyundai is painfully slow at allocating cars, so it may be a while before we can test one. Thanks for watching!

@mamo12345 12 лет назад

The most precise measurement of acceleration I have ever seen :D:D

@Deviklovecraft 12 лет назад

Entertaining review. I have a 2011 3.8 Track edition and it's been a fantastic car. Even still, too heavy...no question about it. I've made a few suspension tweaks and some basic bolt on performance mods and she does well enough at Deal's Gap. However, once the FRS/BRZ gets more power, I'm jumping ship unless Hyundai counters with something as lightweight and nimble.

@Selrisitai 9 месяцев назад

I think the 38 additional horsepower helps with the revised edition.

@Wangster10491 12 лет назад

The problem I have with the Genesis coupes isn't the weight. It has great power but not much usable power. The torque kicks in at like 5000+ rpms and thats just not that daily drive material.

@threestripes333 12 лет назад

how is the a 3.8 rspec if it has no badge on the back, no red brembo brakes and no red interior?

@laughapnea 11 лет назад

The dude says his problem is "what is the car" as in "who is it for" but if you go to the Hyundai site they have more options for ordering this car for what YOU want it to be. It comes with a 4 cylinder 274hp turbo motor or a 350hp v6, that really is amazing in comparison with the hp rate of its competitors and the fact that you can buy a Genesis Coupe to compete in whatever you want as long as you can get over the Hyundai name. It can do what a BRZ does or a Mustang you just have to order it.

@Masterv1991 8 лет назад

Im 6.2 and i had lots of room when i sat in it

@saiyanelite3589 4 года назад

even in the back??

@rowsdower12 12 лет назад

No problem! Gotta keep you on your toes with the tees. Don't want to sport yesterdays news, I got your back. Cheers!

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

We'll try. We just found out that we're finally getting a CR-V in a few weeks. Stay tuned!

@theguythatdoesthatonething2133 4 года назад

I was looking at buying one of these but I’m 6’4”. Any owners out there that can tell me if I’m going to be riding with my head mashed against the ceiling?

@dc4uxp 12 лет назад

i like the concept that one of you guys like it and one of you guys don't. it really helps me see the highs and lows of this car. thank you

@richardravosa9355 6 лет назад

I'm 6'3 and fit in mine fine with the seat all the way back.

@dasspr 11 лет назад

@xsiickuniique auto... You can see paddle shifters in some shots and the actual auto shift knob at 4:08ish when they try the back seats

@Sk8Diver21 3 года назад

The tall guy was looking for everything wrong lol

@sukaboy00 11 лет назад

Where do I get one of those Datsun tees Nathan has!

@lil1filipino 12 лет назад

yeah I'm aware of that. and even slower if you're incline doing the test. but the forester have turbo which won't hurt the 0-60 time even though at high altitude.

@kevtom 11 лет назад

what does sea level have to do with 0-60?

@kjparlay 12 лет назад

So 1/5 of this video was spent on displaying that a performance coupe has a small back seat. What, no 2-minute segment on what rear-wheel drive means?

@great159 5 лет назад

My 2015 3.8 genesis coupe auto did 0-60 in 4.8sec STOCK!💯 (sea level). The 2014-2016 3.8 autos come with lock up torque converters which helps shave off up to 2/10ths of a second off your 0-60 and quarter mile time. Too bad the 2013 doesn't have it.

@bellesbae 10 лет назад

I agree about the hood vents..

@XxMetalGorxX 8 лет назад

+SportSharp cut mine out and installed real ones in. looks better and functional

@smokey6780 8 лет назад

+XxMetalGorxX where did you get your hood vents at?

@XxMetalGorxX 8 лет назад

smokey ebay

@80s_Boombox_Collector 4 года назад

I have no problems with the fake vents. Tacomas have fake vents, and nobody complains. Plus if you install real ones, you're going to have water dropping on top of your engine. Dumb.

@1989rs500 12 лет назад

Can you guys please mashup the honda crv,ford escape,mazda cx5,toyota rav4 etc togather

@FrankMD11 11 лет назад

I'm 6'2" and I fit excellent! Big and heavy? Lighter than the competition.

@Swantekk 7 лет назад

Dont think hes a big fan of Gennys. But IMO they are great. Great performance for the value. If youre a car enthusiast and dont really have grands to spend then this is a good fit. Fast reliable and easily modded for the tuners out there. I thoroughly enjoy my 13 3.8 gt genesis coupe. And dont get me wrong 370s and 350s are beautiful cars but at the price that they are the outputs are almost the same stock. Its about preference i guess. Dont hate till you drive it CORRECTLY. The torque on the genny is fun and the speed that it gains is furious. I dont regret a thing, people always are giving compliments and giving the thumbs up!

@x0M3GAx 7 лет назад

I feel the same way. I don't regret buying my 2013 Genesis 3.8 GT. It is quick when I want it to be and has the luxury features to back it up!

@Serjical23 6 лет назад

Agreed, excellent value for the money. I originally wanted a 350/370 but there is even less room in that and NO backseat. That was a dealbreaker for me. I have used the backseat for storage and even people when necessary. I wouldn't recommend putting people back there for a road trip, but it is there if you need it. The FRS/BRZ felt underpowered after driving the Genesis Coupe 3.8. The 350/370 are too impractical as an only car, and are still heavier cars. The Camaro/Mustang are a dime a dozen and also as heavy as the Genesis Coupe with less displacement and less horsepower. Luxury brands are too expensive if you want something newer. This car fit the bill perfectly, not to mention one of the best warranties in the business. I thoroughly enjoy my 2015 3.8

@yermailmain206 11 лет назад

You should check out their review on the 2013 3 series bmw vs the lexus es350. Great comparison

@srodevil2 12 лет назад

Absolutely right my friend, i was just suggesting dodge challenger coz it belongs to same segment being a coupe but not being a GT. Definitely agree to your point there.

@brandonwright2067 6 лет назад

I have a simple question this or a 350z

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

Alas, we are both cursed with the Bigfoot syndrome. The issue I often have is the space in the foot-well area and the spacing of the pedals. American and European coupes seem to work best for me. If I’m testing a Japanese or Korean car, I usually wear skinny shows, like my Vans. Big boots can often touch more than one pedal in small cars. Some of the most comfortable cars for me to drive for my feet and knees are MINIs and the Volvo C30. Despite the small size, I am comfortable behind the wheel.

@c0uchsl0uch 11 лет назад

yes I agreel, if your looking for backseat space then your not looking for the genesis coupe, its a different market all together but don't take points away for it

@jmc6000 12 лет назад

My thoughts exactly!!

@TVinmyEye 10 лет назад

My 13 genesis 2.0t is now reaching 6000k had the car for 4 months now, No issues other than my mpg indicator, it doesnt accurately read my miles. But other than that the car is just fine. Roman is just hating with his lame commentary how is it a problem not figuring what type of car is this?

@Kylo_Ren_2033 8 лет назад

I agree that this car is big and heavy. Most of canyon runners I have seen are driving Miata, BRZ, S2000, Civic Si, 370z etc. It is hard to find anyone use this car to attack canyon road.

@111danish111 11 лет назад

345 hp from a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder engine. Well done Hyundai thats Porsche territory . This company has done so well specially the last 5 years or so .

@BoiiGorg3ous 12 лет назад

are those coupe #s?

@fatboy19831 12 лет назад

Would you pay 40k for a nose heavy coupe that would still get smashed by the Solid rear axle 30k Mustang Gt?

@jo23bulls 11 лет назад

I'm 6'2 and I sat in this car comfortably.

@hectorfuji 6 лет назад

My two favorite things!

@benbuehler7590 8 лет назад

I'm 6'4 and I fit fine

@srodevil2 12 лет назад

Hey Roman, i wonder why you didn't mention about dodge challenger R/T when comparing Genesis with other cars? Coz challenger got room, trunk space, power and looks. Everything thats missing in genesis. And it starts at 30k.

@DeadPixL87 10 лет назад

Props on the shirt, Nathan.

@Pedal2TheMetal 12 лет назад

Nice Datsun shirt :)

@TVinmyEye 10 лет назад

Yeah car is a little heavy but give hyundai a gawd damn break, the 3.8's main competitors (IMO) are the G37,335 bmw, lexus Is 350 and C350 coupe,definitely not muscle. They all weigh an extra 100-160 pounds they all have relatively same numbers in terms hp and Tq. And are RWD.

@MachineGunHusky 11 лет назад

Roman I love your videos but I strongly disagree with the height thing im 6.3ft and I fit fine

@Wangster10491 12 лет назад

If you consider that theres 2 guys that weigh 200+ lbs in it, the 0-60 time of 7.5 seconds seems more and more likely.

@MrRyanS1983 12 лет назад

Why did the tall guy try to fit in the back of a coupe?

@Prettweasel 11 лет назад

I'm 6'5" 220 and i sat in the genesis at a auto show and i could stretch me legs out.

@KeynSong 10 лет назад

I supposed, Roman, porsche 911 is a crap car cause your too big for it. Who rates a sports car for the size of the back seats? You should go back to your day job... I guess according to you a Jetta is a better sports car then a Ferrari California because it has more leg room in the back. Pffffffff....

@arunnair456 12 лет назад

I sat ina mustang and it feels so cheap inside. kind of made me sitting in one of those regular rental cars. genesis GT is so luxurious, you will be amazed

@agmpk9 11 лет назад

yup Torsen lsd in the rear. Don't know why they were dissing on the car, well at least the tall person was. From what I've heard this gen is waaay better than the previous ones.

@slamboiii8071 Год назад

He doesn’t fit in that? I’m 6’2 and have head room for days

@porsche558 12 лет назад

"Nice toochie makes you want to slap it"....Nathan you have issues LOL!!!!!

@TFLcar 12 лет назад

Thanks for your comment. That reminds me the Hyundai Genesis Coupe will also knock your fillings out when you hit a bump too hard or too fast and the suspension bashes against the stops and slaps your ass so hard you, your wife or girlfriend will cry out for mercy.

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

We would happily do it - the moment Hyundai loans us one. It's a slow process and they have an aversion to the Rockies. We'll do our best and thanks for watching!

@Fultzy02 12 лет назад

i hate how reviewers try to exploit the small backseat room when it's a coupe, the back seats aren't really supposed to be used in a sports car

@h3spawn 10 лет назад

These guys have no clue what they are talking about this car is fabulous.

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

Maybe... but at 8:07 and the beginning of the video, I do smoky burnouts/donuts in a closed-off parking lot.May have passed gas at 4:11 too. Thanks for watching!

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

Roman bikes. Are you aware that when a vehicle is over a mile above sea level, as we said in this video... as we say in EVERY video; power loss can cost the vehicle up to 30% of its horsepower?

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

Ha! Thanks - I'll keep that in mind.

@Nimasis 11 лет назад

I dont understand why some people think buying a genesis is because you cant afford other cars

@ACCORDingtoTom 12 лет назад

Well, their timing methods aren't exactly the most state of the art, and the fact that they are a mile above sea level does justify a 7.5 second 0-60 more.

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

Yes, you can’t go wrong with a Honda Civic or Accord. I know what it’s like to have limited resources - I recommend used Acuras too. You’ll find they don’t hold their value like Hondas do despite the fact they are the same bones. Toyota is good too - but some of their rides are boring. Mazda (the Protégé and MX6) are pretty good too. Best of luck, and keep us in the loop!

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

My point exactly. This is a great GT car.

@ThorMaxx 12 лет назад

getting in and out of the genesis coupe is sorta like getting out of the last gen Vw Beetle. First time I got inside, I thought hey this isn't bad... until someone closed the hatch on my head.... OWWIE

@eyoy4revs 6 лет назад

Roman cant drive comparing him to Carlos Lago... And you guys always say that its big and heavy but it weigh like the evo x

@hjrivera1 12 лет назад

Nathan and Roman, do you want to test a 2 door coupe that have plenty of room on the back seats??? Try the Dodge Challenger SRT8, its a great car with rear seat room for adults!!! The domestic cars industry can do it way better than the imports... You both won't be disappointed!!!

@arunnair456 12 лет назад

before me buying the genesis, i had the same plans to check out 370z and mustang.

@dandrickjones6920 16 дней назад

Love the burnout at the end of this

@whatsdone 11 лет назад

I own a 2010 GC. The cargo room is great. The trunk is pretty big (easy to fit luggage), but the trunk opening isn't the greatest. Folding down the backseats make it very easy to carry snowboards, guitars, etc. Cargo room is never a problem. But why is "identity" a problem? It's only a problem if you're obsessed with pigeonholing cars into labels that people constantly argue about. Is it a sports car, a GT car, a muscle car...or...who cares? There is a lot of overlap in car "genres"

@jmaurice280 3 года назад

And this is the “Base model” .. why wouldn’t you review The “Track” or “R-spec.

@Mr3boude 12 лет назад

sorry for my previous comment, i didn't mean to say your not professionals but i was pissed out of roman because he made fun of the car a lot, i really love your videos and your drifting, sorry again

@MikeDiesel67 12 лет назад

What? I am 6 foot tall and 310 lbs, I fit in them just fine. As a mater of fact I found it to be comfortable. There are only a few sports cars I can fit in, this IS one of them. Great car for the money!

@coolerdude44 10 лет назад

what is roman talking about? i'm 6'7'' and i fit in this car fine...

@autonathan 12 лет назад

Loving the one-wheel-burnout. lol

@Dameka247 12 лет назад

I love mine! But then again I'm just commuting in it and not racing, showing off, and what not.

@Nathanvoie 10 лет назад

I'm 6'4" and I also have a problem fitting in this car. I think it's because of the moon roof. I have no head room. I fit better in my 94 firebird. And my Mazdaspeed3 is great for tall people.
