Who all here owns a genny?! I do and I absolutely love it!!!

The Genesis coupe is a very underrated car that should get more respect and more appreciated. I love mine and will always love it

Hyundai actually listened and gave everyone the affordable RWD, turbo coupe people were whining for at a time when we though they were all dying off and no one bought it because "it was still a Hyundai"

All the genny owners just happy we finally have content to watch 😭 I thought the car scene forgot about us

I’m here for the genesis coupe content 😌

The KDM curse began when Han said, "What you think, I'm gonna let you roll in a Hyundai?".

As a korean, the genesis coupe was the first bit of pride for us in the automotive scene

Been wanting more genesis content…really wish these cars were more appreciated I love mine

genesis coupes are really underrated, i really wish we had a bigger community behind them that’s why i love when people with bigger platforms kinda shine a little spotlight on them. You’d be surprised how much untapped power we have, 2.0T’s are literally V8 killers 🏎💨

"What happened to Car Pricing" when lol. That ending was gold

This is the reason i got the genesis coupe. They’re different & not seen around every block i go…I’ve had mine for half a year with 0 problems. I love driving it & talking to random people about it bc not a lot of people know about them. Others will of course have different experiences but i highly recommend them, Even the BK1 4-cylinder can create a good amount of power if done correctly & they look more sporty than the BK2

The '13 Genny was my first car, it's still going strong 8 years later.

Just bought one a month ago absolutely love it. These cars are making a comeback rn and everyone wants them. Prices are insane for them lol. Got a steal on mine took me 2 weeks of looking to find it.

I have a 2.0T and I love it. It’s been reliable and easy to work on if you’re new to the community. The best first sports car I could’ve bought for the money hands down.

I get compliments on my genny all the time it’s crazy how slept on they are

I've had my Gen for almost 3 years now, I swear it's actually the easiest car to work on. Swapped a trans in under 3 hours on the floor by myself. Need to take the engine out? Just take the whole front end, rad support out in like 20 minutes. Last time I pulled the dash I had it out in like 45 minutes ...

Honestly, this channel sold me on wanting the Genesis Coupe as my first car with the "So you want a ___" video. Been saving up for a while and just purchased a 2016 ultimate with only 20k miles. Was a blast to test drive and I'm so excited to drive it! And yall already know where I'm gonna get my wheels, tires and suspension from lol! Great vids as always too!

I just recently bought a 3.8 bk2 Genesis coupe. :) Absolutely loving it. I'm the only one in my area with one, so people always appreciate seeing something other than American muscle or WRXs driving around.

Alex and the editors are so next level. You guys elevate this channel. Every video in this series or any with Alex feel so natural, never forced. Good shit.

Honestly everything in this video was well put. Coming from the Genesis community I can admit. Some people in the community are pretty toxic but that’s how the world turns. I drove a brand new 2016 ultimate edition and I absolutely fell in love with the styling and performance of the car. If you are looking to get one (for the right price of course) go for it!

Bought my 2012 3.8 R-Spec brand new a decade ago. Great cars...I've only had ONE serious issue out of it in all these years. The clutch wouldn't come back up when I pressed it. I took it to the dealership, they took the car to the back, fixed it, and sent me on my way. No hassling over warranty or any other nonsense. I would 100% buy another coupe if they re-released it. The new sedans look nice enough...but I'm just more of a coupe guy.

More Genesis Coupe Content please 😀

Nice vid. I recently bought a 2016 BK2 3.8. bought it with under a 1000km on the ODO. Loving this car so far. Great for entry level, budget minded enthusiast like myself.

You know how long i been waiting for this damn video... FINALLY

Love my 2013 Genny. Turns heads next to all the Hondas and Nissian in the lot

I absolutely love that when I picked up my bk2 3.8 you guys had made a few videos on it and still are. Aftermarket is still a little weak on the 2013+ 3.8's but even in stock form the car has been a riot for the past 10 months.

If they came out with a coupe version of the G70 now??? Boyyyy you’d see me in one ASAP.

I personally would love to see this car come back always thought it was a beautiful looking car especially for the PRICE. Speaking of price at the end you mentioned how cars are expensive lately and I would love to see a video over that. Also your videos are always on point but DAMN was this one funny 😂. Great job Alex and the editing team! 😁

I’ve never confused the Genesis coupe for a G37. Both beautiful vehicles, but can’t confuse them.

That intro gave me hella goosebumps with the music and sick clips of the Genny. Made me love my Genny a little more now. Props to whoever edited that part!

I love that you made this video! It's so true, nobody talks about them and they're seriously good cars! If I ever decide to get another sports car, it'll have to be that 3.8 and manual transmission. 👍🏼👍🏼

Bro this is hilarious I was literally going to buy one this Friday as my first car and this vid just came out that’s amazing timing

Had my genesis for a while, I fell in love with it. I end up getting into and accident just a month after paying it off. Was able to walk away without a scratch but can’t say the same about the Gen. Is this what pain feels like?

Appreciate the content on the Gen Coupe. I love my second Gen coupe. Original owner for 7 years and no complaints. Not to mention easy to work on. 🤙🏼

we’re getting close but i won’t give up till it’s here 😂 day 17 of asking for “Driver To Driver” with the Genesis Coupe

Genny gang 💪one of the first

Ayeee Thanks for using some of my clips again guys!! 🎥🙏🏼

I remember seeing my first Genesis in a parking lot of a private airport. Had the wing badge and for the longest time i kept thinking that cool looking sports car had to be like an Aston Martin or maybe Genesis was its own luxury car brand. I was blown away to find out it was a Hyundai because it truly does look like a luxury sports car. Now i finally bought one, a 2012 2.0t bone stock from the first owner with 97k miles. It turns heads alot and you can probably guess what my first mod is going to be 😅 I feel like the fact that people don't talk about these cars much only adds to that mystery and curiosity like how i felt when i first saw one. Kinda feels like you're part of an exclusive club of rare car owners ngl. This car is definitely getting the royal treatment from me. Only the best oils and parts for this one (:

Good video! When my previous car became too much to handle, I decided I wanted something else. I spent over a year looking for a V6 manual Genesis Coupe. I spent a lot of time on Carvana as you mentioned. Everytime a Genesis Coupe popped up, it was sold within hours and I couldn't get my hands on one. I forgot that the Genesis sedans had V8 options at the time and I stumbled across a 2012 4.6L sedan. It was at an Infiniti dealer in the lot with a sticker that said "not for sale" but I immediately called the Infiniti dealer and told them to hold it for me. She only had 22k miles on her. I LOVE owning weird obscure cars, I've owned a lot in my day. I REALLLLLY love the Genesis models in particular. I was dreaming of a V6 manual Genesis Coupe but my one stipulation for getting a car that was automatic, is that it had to be a V8 and I got it. I still would like to own a Genesis Coupe with a manual trans. I wish Hyundai would continue to make the coupe!

I've had my 2011 Gen Coupe for 10 years now. And now daily a G80. Love the Coupe and the whole Genesis lineup. Hoping for a fancy new coupe under the Genesis badge in the future!

Got my genesis coupe back in December and I drive it every day it’s fun car for sure

Bought my 2011 3.8 r-spec 2 weeks ago. Absolute blast of a car to drive, better sound and comfier than a g35 too

Always great videos with you brother! 👌👍🍻

The Genny was the car I fell in love with and dreamed about getting when I was 16 years. Graduated high school and was able to score a 73k mile 2011 2.0T for 13k sticker price but a very sad 14% apr rate for 6 years. 5 years later, the car is paid off and sitting at 110k miles with a few mods and I have loved every single thing about it and can forgive the defects she has. Haven't had any issues besides the transmission feeling like it's slipping a lil but we all know them auto trannys suck! Will forever love my first car!!

Really happy with my bk2 3.8, going on a little over 2 years with it and I don’t regret it. I wanted something different than the frs/brz or 350/370z that I see everywhere.

Awesome video dudes! And it’s still a great entry level platform for modifying. The 2013+ 2.0T can make a decent amount of power and when maintained properly can hold decent power as well without building the bottom end!

Thank you for the Genesis coupe appreciation definitely an under rated platform. I am a current owner and have owned a total of 3 of them throughout the years currently building a 12 2.0t doing a full forged build but the information about the theta and 4b11t having a lot of interchangeable parts is not true. While they were co-developed between Chrysler, Hyundai and Mitsubishi they are very different the theta is a 2 bolt main design and open deck while the 4b11T is a 4 bolt main and semi closed also the main journals and rod journals are different dimensions the 4b11t is more stout in every way. The head gasket is even different they do share similarities in the head design as far as valve’s and springs and buckets go and cam shafts. Valve covers can also be swapped these motors are more like 2nd cousins than brothers.

I love my 2010 Coupe. She's got the track package, beyond that I've kept her stock. Took her up into the mountains, and it was the most fun I've ever had in a car. The older body looks sharper and slick, but I might be a bit biased.

Gonna be honest. All a car needs is the basic requirements as well as: AC, radio, kinda peppy engine, 5 or 6 speed manual, practically indistictable. And I'll drive that forever.

Iv been waiting for this video for over a year now

I love my 3.8 and it always puts a smile on my face seeing another local gen on the road. Great entry level enthusiast cars if you can get your hands on one.

This video really hit the mark on the rattling and water sealing issues but all and all I love my genesis, best car I ever had 💙

Ironic that Fi dropped this while I've been looking for a Genny coupe for months now in my area.

I personally own a BK1 2.0t although it's slow it never fails to put a smile on my face whenever I drive it. Also, it gets lots of compliments since there isn't many Genny's in my area.

Only if they were able to fit the genesis coupe with the V8 from the sedan

Owned the coupe for 5 years and loved it. Moved into the genesis g70 3.3 and absolutely wouldn't look back. Night and day improvement from hyundai.

Love seeing my gen in videos 💯🤣

I remember first seeing this car on the freeway back in 2016 and thinking "damn that's a sexy car." Then quickly catching up to it to see exactly what it was, and being completely mind blown when I realized that it was a Hyundai. Because back then if anyone remembers Hyundai caught alot of shit for being cheap hunks of junk. But I didn't care I knew then like I know now that I wanted one, and can proudly say I am an owner of a 2010 2.0t R-spec and I LOVE IT.

I bought my 15 coupe 5yrs ago because I wanted something that was different and there wasnt many in the area. Just a few months ago I still had people ask me what my car was and complement me on it. I still love the car to this day between performance and styling for the price.

Very decent performance for the 2016 3.8 ... Lucky to buy the last production car and have zero issues since then ❤ ... happy to see it stands out and becoming rare

I love the Hyundai Genesis Coupe!!! It's a beautiful and aggressive car. Ok, I admit, I Love Hyundai Period!!! I got one and would buy them ALL, from cars to SUV's, if I could. The platform is evolving, but yes, it has its quirks just like any other platform! I have a '15 Sonata, and it is the BOMB! IT rides like a Cadillac and looks like a Lexus. I've dropped it, bought wheels from y'all, and done some other things(mods) to make it my 2nd wife, if that makes any sense!🤪

Thank you so much for featuring me I really appreciate it!!! The Tiburon community has been waiting a long long time for some love!!😂😂 please please do a “so you want a Hyundai Tiburon” vid🙏

I had a 2010 3.8 Gen coupe traded her in for a stinger. I grew up JDM obviously but decided to give KDM a shot I loved it, I wished Hyundai came out with a new coupe but they didn’t. I felt the stinger was the next step plus I have a family now so I need the four doors. Power is awesome and a bunch of aftermarket mods maybe not as much as some cars but enough. I’m excited to see where Kia/Hyundai go from here I’ve heard their next performance engines are gonna be hydrogen/ electric they are also partnered up with Rimac so good things are on the way. Great video guys. Also if you own a stinger or want to get one quick they just discontinued it

I like the older front bumper look more than the newer one. They seem cool though.

I own a 2012 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Rspec and I love it. It's my only car, I drive it every day, and haven't once regretted it. I'm even revamping proper easy to use brackets for headlight modifications because by the time I got my car, they didn't exist for the first generation anymore. I even finally fixed a few deferred maintenance items so now in my eyes it is nearly a perfect car as far as how Hyundai designed it to be.

Coming from a Gen2 2.0T owner, I absolutely love the cars man. The car definitely has its respective pros and cons but overall it is, or atleast it was until this new market showed up, very well built machine for what you paid. Coming up on seven years I've had the hunk, about 115,000 miles, and she still rips and handles like day one. I've never had any serious issues with the car either, besides the a.c blower motor starting to act up recently even though that's hardly serious?? Video is dead accurate on both the facts and the appreciation, though it is nice to see a little more people starting to talk about them.

I've had my 2013 2.oT since 2014 and have not had ONE issue with it with the exception of my Cat Conv. going bad (mine was a flood salvage I got for 11k with TT&L so I could see how a cat might go bad if it sat in water for a while lol) It had 26k miles when I bought it and we are at 120k now. It's been an absolute freaking blast. I absolutely LOVE that you don't see it around that much and LOVE that anyone who has one knows when you've modified yours. I tell everyone that if for ANY reason, Venom (my Genesis) didn't make it, I'd buy the exact same car. It's not even a question. It' s just such a dope vehicle.

Genesis gang really appreciates this content Alex. Thank you for highlighting this platform. Really wish hyundai would resurrect it under the hyundai brand still.

I've had my Genny for 7 years now. And I'm ready to move on. The car definitely caters to a younger used car market generation. Most people with the money for a new sports coupe are into "better" vehicles. I've watched so many Genny groups die as a result as people move on to other platforms.

Got my 15 Ultimate M/T in May, just paid it off. Planning to do D'toz supercharger kit. Love this car and plan on keeping it forever. Only advise when buying is to check for 2nd gear lockout.

the genny 2.0t was my first car and i miss it dearly from time to time; such a fun platform that actually turned out to be decently reliable

Just bought a Bk1 3.8 track two days ago 🙏🏾🙏🏾 been amazing so far.

glad to see the Genny getting more attention 🙌

I love how you explain the KDM Curse as a one reason or another almost like no one knows why people try it and then always go back. Then from 10:23 to 10:35 and from 11:15 to 11:35 you go on to explain EXACTLY why the KDM Curse is a thing. Even though a curse is usually something you cant control. Its like they always make something that on paper SEEMS GREAT, but skip or cheap out on all the little things that add up to a less than great total experience. Like the 2.0T not giving full boost until the oil temp hit 180 degrees (which on a winter day would never happen). Sure they eventually released a software update that lowered it but a lot of early adopters had to deal with it for a few years before they got around to fixing it. The main issues I had were the shifter rattle, wastegate rattle, seatbelt issues (it wouldn't register that my seatbelt was buckled and would ding the entire hour drive to work, it finally got fixed after 3 trips to the dealer) , and the absolutely atrocious amount of rev hang . The oil temp, wastegate rattle, and rev hang were easily fixed with a tune, but I shouldn't HAVE to tune a brand new car to fix issues that honestly shouldn't be there from the factory. So while none of these things individually were deal breakers, added all together it just felt like a poorly executed jack of all trades master of none sports coupe. I bought mine brand new when the first bk2s hit the lots in 2012 and I sold it in 2017. While it was a good looking (I know that's subjective), fun, and (after FBO, turbo upgrade, and a tune) relatively quick little car, I have never missed it. The only time I have ever even considered buying another one was when i came across an LS3/TR6060 (swapped from a wrecked 2011 Camaro) BK2. There are just too many other cars in the same relative price range these days that are faster, handle better, have far more aftermarket support, and have far fewer compromises built in.

Just got a 2011 2.0T as my first car 😍 hard work payed off

Me and my fiancé love our genesis coupes💯❤️🔥

Y'all drop this as I'm 2 months deep into trying to pick one of these up, sussy

I was expecting a lot of flack and toxicity in this video. Glad there wasn't much hate. It was between a used 370z, BRZ, and the Coupe and I chose the coupe. You don't see them on the road that often and I liked the unique platform. Liked how the R-Spec was set up well and they are a heck of a value for what you got. I AutoX mine and have a blast while doing it. Exhausts on these cars sound legit. I went the custom route with an Ferrari Ansa 456 mid pipe, downpipe, and test pipe and I get comments on the daily. I have a 3.8 but and got it tunes and have it 278whp. They just released a Supercharger that can get it 350whp from D'TOZ.

Owned mine for over 11 years now. Got a BK1 2.0T track back in 2010. Turns out it was the only year they made a 2.0 with that trim. Still in the community but not as active as I use to be. Up until a few weeks ago, I listed it for sale and got an offer and was ready to sell but didn’t pull the trigger. It creeks and what not but it’s been pretty solid throughout the years.

Proud owner of a 2013 BK2 Genny. I love my car and wouldn't trade it for the world! 🤘🔥

I loved my BK1 GT 3.8 so much, I ended up buying a BK2 3.8 Rspec. These cars are amazing for the price. its different too. I'm tired of seeing the wrx, miata, mustang, brz, challengers as the go-to build car. I almost feel the need to buy another one just to use as parts for when my current one needs stuff

I got my 2013 BK2 in March. I’ve never loved a car as much as I love this car

My 2.0 R-Spec is such a perfect balance. Mine was my daily while working at Lamborghini and Bentley and I always got asked about it and what it was. It fit in no matter where I went and was a great conversation with 100k miles and no issues.

I've seen quite a few of them here in Alberta Canada, dudes love driving them tuned, or stock.

Just bought work wheels for my widebody 3.8 bk2. Cars so fun, its worth having one. And i always get people that compliment my car. So sad that it didn’t get a good rep when it was new

I have 2016 3.8 mt and man is it fun to drive. That v6 has an amazing note to it with a good set of pipes. The only bad thing I've experienced in the few years of owning it is that there is t much aftermarket support as like the g37 or 370z. But all around good car

I’m literally buying one in like 2 months hopefully. Love these cars.

The bk1 2.0 can make nearly 300whp with just intake, down pipe and 550cc injectors. It’s actually fairly solid. I had ended up big turboing mine which was fun. There’s some decent market for aftermarket parts for them.

I love that Fitment industries used the clip from Pablo Sanchez from TurBro. Two of my favorite channels.

Just picked up my first genesis coupe a month ago BK1 2011 2.0T I love it so far!!! First manual car.

Here in germany the i30N or how you call it, the veloster N is seen as a better alternative to the Golf GTI´s und the modern Hyundais and Kias are appreciated

I love my 2013 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track, never had any issues with it, I’ve had so many people ask me what kind of car it is and that it looks amazing! You rarely see them on the road now a days, so it feels good to drive something you don’t see as much unlike a 350/370z or domestics like camaros and mustangs and chargers, plus the bang for your buck you get with a Genesis is really good! Genesis coupe 3.8 has more hp than a 370z for less money, but the 370z is more “popular” I think the Genesis looks better than a Nissan lol 😂

I just got a 3.8 track on carvana back in April and I absolutely love it

I just bought a 2014 Genesis coupe 2.0t r spec a month ago and I love it no complaints

Thank you for runescape references guys. I feel a little bit less ashamed about mining rocks for 6 hours straight.

I wanted a genesis coupe but ended up with a g35. Both are amazing cars!

Saw a beautiful pearl white one today. Limited model. No mods other than darl tint all around and it looked really nice coupe. I think in a couple yrs if i look at coupes and find a nice one and it has a clean kit out there then i would consider one

I have a 2013 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track model with all the bells and whistles. I live in Florida, and tried dealing with local dealers in the Tampa Bay area, with no luck. So I went shopping on line, found three great deals, one in Missouri, one in Georgia, and one in Texas. Worked out the best deal with the Texas dealership just north of Galveston. I flew from Tampa International, they picked me up at the airport in Texas, and in two hours, I had my brand new Platinum Silver Genesis, and a $400 check in my pocket to reimburse me for my flight. Took the long way home and did some sight seeing for two and a half days going home to St. Pete Beach. I've had Corvettes, Mustangs, and Camaros, but I will never get rid of this fabulous car. I constantly get compliments on this car, every where I go. Garage kept, with only 39,000 miles on it today, and it still looks showroom new. Another great thing about the Genesis Coupe is that it is one of the safest sports cars you can own. The crash rating is one of the best with comparable sized cars. Whereas the Elantra, Veloster, and Sonata have awful ratings. The people at the Hyundai/Genesis dealership here where I keep it serviced have told me for the past two years that a Genesis Coupe prototype has been designed and that a planned release is coming soon. I would love to see that.

Sitting in my gen coupe watching this video lol. The BK1 is not weak with a tune and fbo the car moves nicely that's the setup I'm running. I get great mpg, it's reliable and it's my daily.
