2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec

[@EZhurst]

Thanks to the people who've roasted me so far. Ya I'm a shy person but wanted to be there to answer his question if he had any. Matt is a cool knowledgeable guy so I just let him talk, plus it's his show anyways. Thanks Matt for taking the time to do these one takes.

[@nerdeater27]

EZhurst Fuck the haters man. Nice car btw

[@brandonhauser1009]

ezhurst, nice car man I have a 3.8l genny coupe 2013 its a fast machine lol.

[@bottomlayer]

Yay it's awesome when the car owners join in on the comments! Cool car

[@jasonmccarthy2002]

EZhurst screw these haters bro

[@Proto2o]

Fuck the haters man. You're a cool guy.

[@dhoosee]

Why are people ripping on Eli, the owner? Matt is a very boisterous guy with a big personality, and Eli looks like a quiet guy who was probably a bit awestruck and nervous on top of it. Great of him to share his car with Matt (and us), and very cool of Matt to feature Eli and his car. Kudos to you both!

[@arumrunner]

True dat

[@r.dunlap4139]

Flat bill over his ears? just a guess.

[@echtogammut]

Matt is like Ruby Rhod, while Eli is more of a Dallas Corbin.

[@AimForTheBushes908]

lmao, multipasss!!

[@jody024]

To me he seemed relaxed enough to enjoy the drive and talk about his car. Being somewhat nervous makes sense, you are handing the keys of your car to a guy you've never met before who's gonna drive on mountain roads. I enjoyed this video.

[@Mahic408]

I don't know why you haters expect these people to be actors or journalists. They are regular car enthusiasts; some more vocal than others. Let them be, and let Matt review the car.

[@nlouisf]

Mahic408 right👍i am a shy person myself btw the owner seems cool anyway even though he doesn't say much

[@GethinJames]

I'm a fan of those. 275hp out of a 2.0t! Wow. I remember when 180hp was a lot out of these turbo 4's.

[@BrayZap]

Try the Mustang Ecoboosts now with 330 lmao

[@NDEEZMiata]

Man people are so critical. Eli was quiet, but wasn't weird or awkward.... Just laid back. I enjoyed listening to Matt review the car, sometimes people try to take over.

[@Bootman899]

"Yeah." Lol I liked this kid. Props to him for getting a Genesis so young.

[@chasee.7841]

I've heard the rev hang is actually due to the dual mass flywheel. With a single mass flywheel and a healthy tune the rev/response can be drastically enhanced.

[@ereHeuqibmazoM]

I can tell the camera is making him nervous but you look like you’re having a good time in your eyes that’s what matters man experiences :)

[@ereHeuqibmazoM]

I like the tone matt approaches with to bring out the kids’ voice a bit more.

[@htxgencoupe4934]

A kid at my school had one exactly like this, except the wheels were plasti dipped, where as I own a 3.8 track. I never did get to test drive the 2.0t R-Spec, however, I did test drive a 2.0T base and it was a fun little car! Throw in the R-Spec goodies, and you're good to go!

[@Ezero8]

Matt just needs to review a fully-modded tuned Genesis Coupe now.

[@element2259]

like the BTR rocket bunny one. making 1000hp out of essentially the stock block.

[@swanblake]

Never understood why people can't appreciate all types of fun cars. It doesn't mean you Mustang or Camaro, 370z ect. are bad. There are just different types of fun vehicles. I like any fast car and appreciate they exist. Let's try to appreciate and hate less. Enthusiasts are the minority

[@normileguy6788]

Blake Swan me personally, I appreciate all cars (except the PT Cruiser (loser)). But I will admit there are some cars/brands that I don't like, but that's not to say I don't appreciate them as a car/brand. Just my view and two sense on the subject

[@swanblake]

NormileGuy yeah the PT was a bust. I just hate the bashing that's all. Seems like everyone has the mindset that if it's not there car it's horrible. Def hear what you are saying though. I personally dislike the Camaro because I can't see out of it but think it's one of the best cars out there.

[@dudeshark2471]

I mean you can definitely have an opinion and some people are just very vocal and outspoken. What's dumb though is the idiots that hate shit just to hate it. Like you could have a very respectable car that performs very well and there's always that one guys that's like "yeah but it's still (this brand) and that makes it gay"

[@SI0AX]

There was a cool PT Cruiser model. It was a factory turbo version. Very rare.

[@jakeparsons2365]

PT GT!! It was an SRT-4 in disguise, saw one the other day. Very odd feeling when a PT cruiser backfires and makes a lot of noise

[@living_good2025]

everybody should respect everyones car unless its a civic with a fart back exaust

[@pekonomials5246]

islandlife 24 a normal civic would’ve been better but no someone put a fartcan

[@Krezo200]

I wish you guys had a podcast

[@DFWsCars]

Or Doug DeMuro had a column on a auto website. It's craziness!

[@TWIRKNOLOVE]

Ryan Tyniec - is that what that mic is for?

[@Redliner]

Super underrated as Matt said, I love mine! Although, they do have a few notorious issues. PS: Matt - The thumbnail is a 1st generation Gen :P

[@pauloreily8282]

Dude, cool cars dude! Love the mods to the gen

[@emilydixon382]

The Redliner SEXY cars ;)

[@jordansmith8994]

The Redliner Clicked your on your channel on a whim and ended up subscribing. Great content buddy

[@Ezero8]

The Redliner You have the exact Genesis Coupe I'm looking for lol. I love that metallic cooper color. Subscribed!

[@mrchubbyfella9421]

The Redliner what are the issues

[@MacktasticDazzle]

Kid is hella shy. Got to admire the courage to sit beside Matt since we all know Matt speaks his mind. :)

[@dayglo98]

Just watching old videos of Gennies coz I miss mine (stored for the winter.) It's true that these cars are so underrated and very fun to drive.

[@ch0g0nda1]

You can fix that rev hang by disconnecting a connector at the top of the clutch pedal. It disables the shift indicator and cruise control though, so you might wanna install a switch if you use the cruise. The Velosters have the same issue and its the same fix.

[@jody024]

Seems like a chilled out kid, nice to see.

[@swanblake]

Love this car. These really are an overlooked car. Change out the shocks and you have an amazing car.

[@jayespi37]

my cousin got his tuned at a shop in Pennsylvania and it added 60 more horsepower to the wheels...this suckered is quick now...scary

[@theburias]

Love my 2013 3.8. Really fun cars

[@Avarice176]

oh boy the comments are going to slew this poor kid. Thanks for the one take, Matt!

[@BESIMXCARS]

These cars are awesome, my girlfriend has one for a daily. I am extremely jealous of how her exhaust sounds on her 3.8 compared to my 350Z's. If you like crackling and popping, this car will do it.

[@KingCanaanmma]

I'm glad genesis are making a name for themselves, I own two Rspec and I love them, I've given V6s & V8s are run for there money. Thanks for showing two different trims of Genesis on here. love the channel

[@cindysue5474]

Shame is there wont be another Genesis coupe since they are gearing more towards a luxury market. My wife took her 2.0t too the dealer and the sells man said the new one will be in the mid 40k market and it wont be like the genesis coupe but there will be a 2 door.

[@johnjohnson-fe5ot]

LOL the kid sounds like he's in the principal's office LOL

[@nancym6414]

Picking up my Gen later on today , can't wait

[@dmedeiros1974]

the sprintbooster removes the rev hang and awakens the throttle makesva huge difference

[@christaylor7411]

Nothing wrong with the kid. I mean i would be fan girling if i was in the presence of Matt Farah, but some are more composed than others :p

[@logan86123]

Matt is a really cool guy, so genuine and just really likable. Keep the videos coming, I need them to de-stress after dealing with annoying clients!

[@jcherestal]

somebody should have told this kid about the switch by the clutch that you can pull out. it instantly takes out %50 of the rev hang!

[@EZhurst]

joel c could you elaborate

[@jcherestal]

run your hand up along side the clutch pedal, feel for a switch that you can pull out. you have to be out of the seat in order to reach it. you can also research this online

[@EZhurst]

joel c thanks I'll look into it

[@EZhurst]

joel c I just tried it, nearly eliminated the hang in 1st gear. thanks for the tip

[@somedude3639]

Yay not the 200hp kind! The kid did good. Some people talk to much. He let Mat do his thing

[@EZhurst]

Some Dude Ya, I'm always annoyed by the people that kinda take over, so I tried to let Matt just review the car.

[@ryanm3797]

That's a nice car for any guy, "kid" or not. With just the right amount of power for actually enjoying driving tight, twisty roads. Don't worry about the "oh well my family sedan has more hp" comments. Because they drive a family sedan lmao.

[@Scott-lo5ep]

LOL my 2013 white R-Spec's steering wheel volume switch broke too! I think "volume up" went out around 35k and "volume down" just kicked the bucket at 55k.

[@NorthernUnion13]

nice car. loved Matts story about the shifter haha.

[@Clutch_Kick187]

My wife used to have that same engine in her 2.0t sonata.. it really ripped for a cheap commuter car.. I can imagine the rear wheel drive/2dr version is a blast.. That motor has tons of torque.. Her car would get 32 mpg on the highway if you stayed out of boost.. yet bust the ass off a stock 4.6 gt mustang from a roll.. Three times in a row!! lol

[@autotalon]

They do a 1:1 throttle mapping tune, but it disables cruise control. I'm sure that's fine for most people, but I'm disabled so the hand controls kill my arm on long drives without cruise control. It also helps if you get the BOV kit that puts it right in front of the throttle body instead of on the turbo outlet. The ECU keeps the plate open until the pressure is out of the loop, which seems to happen faster if the BOV is right in front of the throttle body.

[@Zackysmallz]

I love my 2013 2.0t! This car does not get nearly enough credit

[@davidpaulin]

@TheSmokingTire The genesis 2.0t engine is a theta engine entirely made and designed by hyundai. the chrysler/mitsu motor is based on the theta engine and is actually a joint venture with hyundai chrysler and mitsu to produce 4 cylinder engines aka world engine which have some differences between each other !

[@q_bzy]

nice to see that you enjoy the bk2 as an owner. it's a lot of fun and a great car for those who don't wanna go the traditional pony car or FRS/BRZ, even though​ they are great cars btw.

[@sharpemang]

These cars intrigue me a lot since they first came out. This is what Nissan should be doing with the Z, having a Turbo Charged or a High displacement version. I was considering this RS Turbo or the 3.8 over the 370Z

[@Selrisitai]

Having owned one (and stupidly caused the engine to seize) I can say that his sentiment is exactly correct: It's just fun to drive. Has a solid amount of power that can't be scoffed at, and although the shifter is a bit clunky in the actual shifting, the knob and stick are extremely response and have a strong "advanced tech" feel to them that I highly enjoy. Just remember that reverse is left and forward, not to the right!

[@BeReady726]

he didn't seem nervous, he just seemed like he didn't give a fuck about the shit most people give a fuck about.

[@canyoneagle]

Coffee and One Take - A great way to ease into my day. I think folks are being too hard on this kid. I think he did well for $18k. If it were my money, I'd probably get a 996, but hey, everyone has their thing. So, what would YOU get for $18k?

[@ratodoesgato]

canyoneagle easy, one rented out room 6 Lithuanian hookers 18 sq ft of rubber sheeting a snorkel and mask 1 ostrich with saddle and enough mind altering drugs to make sure I'm never to spell my own name correctly ever again.

[@canyoneagle]

LOL

[@diegoaccord]

The engine is related to the 4B11 from the Evo X, as well as the 2.4 from the Calibur SRT4. Old Hyundai's had actual 4G63's just with a valve cover that said Hyundai.

[@cindysue5474]

The Calibur motor was a world engine .

[@theshonen8899]

I almost spit my drink out when Matt said "usable back seats." I love the genesis coupe but rear headroom is non-existent.

[@EZhurst]

theshonen8899 usable if your friends are dwarves

[@westsenkovec]

The five always gets him

[@cueball3285]

"yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah"

[@freezor80]

A friend of mine had a blue first generation R-Spec. It was fun. I never drove it bu he drove me around and I loved it.

[@Selrisitai]

And remember, that had over 60 fewer horsepower than this one!

[@Zcypot]

I dont even know how fast these are, every time I had one trying to have fun with me I been on a limp tune. The horse power increase from previous gen is crazy.

[@Selrisitai]

What does it mean to have been on a limp tune?

[@Zcypot]

@@Selrisitai Didnt use proper terminology back then, base map. Enough to drive the car around but cant go into boost at all or boom.

[@aaron5222]

mat you can also unplug the upper clutch switch take a ton of the rev hang out also.

[@Hunedpcl7]

It was between this car and my Focus ST when I was in the market 3 years ago.

[@troll_savagelegend4669]

nice whip

[@pablo18nunez]

I swear within the first minute I knew how this comment section was going to be, you guys are ruthless, nothing is good for you guys anymore lol.

[@turnfast69]

I thought Eli was cool. He's young, guys.

[@DFWsCars]

So this or a 370Z as I think that may be its closest comparison?

[@aka1mite]

Nah it's more so aimed at the g37 coupe

[@NorVack]

Pretty good for a 4 cyl! I like it.

[@SVW1976]

These cars I think are under rated although maybe a tad expensive. Even still fun to drive!

[@gettcouped]

Great job! if I were in the market, these would definitely be in my list. love the color combination as well. best of luck Eli

[@Masterp5708]

TheSmokingTire. The gen coupe engine is a derivative of the Mitsu 4B11T engine. Not the 4G63. The Tiburon Beta II is the derivative of the 4G63

[@philiprobinson4809]

I own 2013 2.o premium. It's a car that doesn't get much respect till you drive it.

[@cindysue5474]

I have a 2013 base 2.0T and yes it did impress me and the husband I really enjoy the car.

[@MyGoToUserName]

The first gen 2.0's should have had 270 out of the box when they first launched. 200 was really underwhelming for the chassis and you really didn't get any sensation that it was turbocharged either.

[@cindysue5474]

The 2nd gen coupe should of had their V8 in it that would of been a winner big time.

[@blapblapism]

These are cool! Cool owner and Matt is awesome too!

[@RealtimeReviews613]

Is this the muscle vs tuner kid lol

[@_JimboSlice]

Realtime Reviews no

[@jhc1229]

Savage...LOL

[@11094DEREK]

Nah he's not vaping or trying to be cool lol

[@htxgencoupe4934]

Realtime Reviews the MvT guy, Ryan, has a 3.8 Turbo, not a 2.0T lol.

[@socalsupercars420]

I legit thought the same thing for a split second.

[@X11CHASE]

How come you never complained about the rev hang in the Fiesta ST? I can't stand it, worst I've experienced in the 9-10 cars I've owned or whatever car I've ever driven for that matter with a stick

[@toyota420xp]

its a coolcar . i went from mercury tracer to camry to corolla to 2015 golf

[@TonyEG6]

0:37 time is precious.

[@TheTurpin1234]

I'm sorry Matt, I already watch 3 podcasts on a weekly basis. I know you've never said it yet, but before you inform me about your podcast I wont be able to attend, though it sounds brilliant!!!! Lol not trying to be a dick just joking about how you always say "I cant believe i've never said this on the show" cracks me up

[@evanescent0311]

drove the Genesis coupes around road Atlanta with skip barber ... back to back with the 991.1 Carrera I still enjoyed it and some of the guys actually PREFERRED the Hyundai to the pcar.

[@eduardoig17]

That picture he has is not a 2013. The 2013 has different wheels, tail lights, headlights, and front bumper.

[@Ms.Fowlbwahhh]

Rev hang can always be taken out by tuning. Lots of the cars from like 2007 and up have it for emissions. It's kinda stupid really because it's very easy to get around if you slip the clutch and the shift will be really smooth.

[@mattjones1378]

Looking into one of these to autocross. Is buying one with just over 100k miles a bad idea since it's a 4 cylinder turbo charged?

[@MrZyLeXx]

you forgot the ''- One Take''

[@Bittertokken]

This was an intermission, tune in tomorrow for an actual one take.

[@twenty514]

Yea, I thought it was one of the old TST automotive reviews lol

[@Ocean240sx]

I had the rev hang in both the 1st gen 2.0t and the 2nd gen 3.8 rspec. Kinda strange when you pull up to a stop light and the rpms are some what stuck at 2k+ revs for a few seconds. It werid but other that that hats off to Hyundai. As Matt said its "the high-end of the low-end" of cars in its class. lol

[@MrDulvalius69]

starts @ 00:40

[@dha588]

looks like a bouncy ride

[@triton_princeofatlantis]

can someone please give this man a decent genesis coupe to review

[@TripleVR]

What about the Genesis sedan with the v8?

[@akaki202]

So again do you have a podcast ? I didn't quite catch that.

[@TechMurda]

“Tony was able to build this in a cave....with a bunch of scraps.”

[@vialactea5549]

- Makes cool sounds. -Ssssssssssssssssss I'm sorry, that made me laugh. Nice car.

[@hgfdksk17]

Is the clutch feel the same as in the Hyundai Veloster? Like bite point & weight wise? Looking at getting one

[@pj_morrison]

Nice 2.0T👍🏽If only I stayed in the area, I could've had my 3.8 reviewed.. Lightweight pulleys and a tune eliminates the rev hang, not jocking by any means tho

[@ColinMcray]

Does anyone know if they have a podcast?

[@froaveragedickcliqueinthis4171]

I want one of those so bad.

[@bottomlayer]

cool car! I've always liked these for some reason Just too bad they stopped offering the 2.0T Track after the first year (basically an R-spec with some more features like the sunroof, but with the performance shit from the R-spec)

[@N3RFTHIS]

It would be so cool if you guys could to try look at some modded ls400's.

[@bedmember]

What's a rev hang?

[@commptonn]

Matt be the guy to use a random picture of a 2010 Genesis coupe for a 2013's video

[@gnarlykoala]

Great car.

[@blackjin21]

Matt do this shit till your old and gray! One day you will drive my car!

[@johnsantiago7671]

I scrolled down to the comments faster than his Genesis does 0-60.

[@inkno701]

I have a Hurst pistol grip on my STI and I love it, but I can't use it in the summer unless I want HURST branded on my palm.

[@craigfallick5837]

The motors in the Gen Coupe 2.0's ARE NOT derivatives of the EVO engines. People need to stop passing on misinformation. So many original Gen 2.0 owners bought into that crap, and were surely disappointed when they found out the engines are vastly different.

[@crackalope]

i was just waiting for "drill time" to play in the background

[@Knezicdex]

You have a podcast? NO WAY

[@lel65]

Wasn't it the 4b11 and not the 4g63? 😩

[@tuhjuhbuh8341]

allegedly if you unplug the clutch switch that controls cruise control then you eliminate the rev hang

[@tang7334]

Hi, Mat. How r u? Any chance making another video of Veloster turbo with some light mods?? I looking to buy one!

[@checkyourself164]

I thought it was a derivative of the 4B11T not the 4G63?
